Day 15: transplant looks to be successful. Cloth pots are drying out a bit, but I think I'll hold off on watering until tomorrow to really let them dry out. RH has definitely gone up (61% versus 54%) with wet pots and more soil. I'm still using the humidifier and refill once a day (right now the biggest pain). Pretty happy with the current environment. Temp and RH seem to be in line so far. I'm anxious to try my first LST in a couple more weeks! My watering yesterday had Cal-Mag Plus in it from when I setup a few gallons of pH'd RO water. I've read you don't need Cal-Mag Plus quite yet, but it was already in the water when I added the URB. Seems to be fine so far.
I've actually had mixed information about using RO water and pHing it. I ready that you need to add Cal-Mag to RO water since it strips all the minerals out and alter the pH down accordingly. The local grow shop guy said I don't need to pH the RO water all since I'm using good soil and that the soil itself with adjust the pH. I haven't watered enough to test the runoff yet, so I'll have to check and see what the soil pH is (with my handy 3-way moisture meter) and lookup what the idea soil pH range is supposed to be. Any thoughts on the grow shop info?
Day 16: soil is mostly dry except for near the seedling itself. Instead of a full watering, I opted for a foliage spray with some cal-mag and lightly spritzed the plants and dampened the top of the soil. I stuck my nose up to both seedlings and Amnesia Haze smells amazing at this size and Swiss Cheese doesn't really have much odor yet.
Day 17: I gave each of them a half cup of my cal-mag/URB water this morning and when I got home, they seem to be growing just fine. I keep having to tell myself that AH is a day behind and isn't as big. I'll let everything dry out again before watering. AH smells sooooo good!!
Day 18: the ladies are growing, albeit a little slowly. Swiss cheese is starting to have a scent when I put my nose right up to it. I gave each them a drink of cal-mag water today and sprayed them with a cal-mag foliar spray to wet the soil surface. Temp/rh is staying stable when the tent is closed.
Day 19: growth continues and I sprayed them down with the foliage spray and put the cloth pots on a plant riser for better ventilation under the pots. Swiss cheese is starting to have a faint odor. I need to figure out a power backup system. I popped a breaker last night so the light cycle was interrupted for 2 minutes.
Day 20: Swiss cheese seems to be a bit too heavy now and is leaning to the side of the pot. I watered with URB/cal-mag lightly thinking they were thirsty. Later in the day, she's still leaning. I'm hoping everything is ok, just getting big up too.
Day 21: I'm a bit disappointed in the growth over the last week. I don't know if I transplanted too early, over watered, of both. Compared to other grows using Platinum LEDs, my plants are FAR behind anything else I've seen on this site. I've got my lights at 24" above the plants. Leaf development looks healthy and the nodes are tight together, but the stem on Swiss Cheese seems no wider than when it popped as a seedling. Maybe this is on track, but seems a bit slow to me. I'm comparing my grow to someone using two P300s in a similar sized tent, but they were using autos and maybe autos grow that much faster? Maybe my P4 light just lacks that much intensity versus having two P300s. I watered around the edges of the pots today, maybe that will help jump start some growth here.
Thank you! I am somewhat sad that they will soon be chopped down, but I am looking forward to enjoying the fruits of my labor! This was a looooooong grow!
@gdogfunk,
Hello i just harvested some and its incredible... I can smell creamy sweet spoiled cheese... almost like diarrhea.. No joke.. Sweet shit literally
Dang! This is an excellent GD! From beginning to current! You ladies are looking amazing and I'm sure all the prep you did to get this beautiful canopy will result in some fantastic Buds! Well done 😄
@gdogfunk, Are you kidding right?!!! This Garden is primed for nothing less than a great Harvest!! You've done the leg-work... Now sit back and let your Ladies show off how much they appreciate all you've done for them 😀
You are near the end nice !
What a good job with this scrog, I really like it ( growdiaries love it too ! because they just posted it on instagram héhé 👍😊👌 )
good luck with the flush my friend 👌
@Herbalize, Thank you! I didn't know about the instagram post, thanks for the heads up! I'm ready to sample the fruits of my labor, that's for sure! :)
Wow! holy fantastic canopy, that is looking killer. Other than faster maturation, have you noticed any other big differences between outdoor and indoor? Grow Happy!
@TheMachinist, Thank you! It's hard to compare to my outdoor grows since this is the first time I've ever payed attention to a regular feeding regimen and keeping such a tight schedule with water/feeding and pH, temp and RH. My outdoor grow, while was the best for my outdoor attempts, pales in comparison to this canopy. I've done a ton of research this entire grow and I believe it's going to pay off :) I can't wait to smoke them!
@HLG_Israel, I did some trimming today deep under the canopy, but I can't really get to anything else at the moment. I will also do a leaf trim at the end of week 3.
@HLG_Israel, thank you! I'm excited to flip to Flower tomorrow or Sunday. They already smell great so I can only imagine what they will smell like in a few weeks!
