This week has gone alright. I think my problem during this time has been the height of my lights, they seem to be happier now that I raised them a few inches, but I noticed a little late and I’d say they’re a little stunted because of it, except for the one double grape plant that is just exploding no matter what.
I haven’t had any nutrient problems, it was just from the light. I moved up to full strength nutes this week, they’re taking them very well.
I thunk next auto grow I won’t defoliate or mess with them at all except maybe some leaf tucking and SCROG until about this point in time, but you live and they learn the more you grow the more you know haha.
I have plants in 3 different stages of life so adding extras is kinda hard, I’ve been keeping the nute mixture basically at base + some photosynthesis plus. I’m excited to see what the natural results are in terms of flavor, I’m expecting a small yield though because I cut leaves off too early and in bad spots etc but the flavor should still be there.
Looking forward to these growing into big adult plants
Ladies looking great. Just got my order of these in and your diary has me excited. Fantastic work my friend. Keep doing what you been doing and may the ganja garden gods bless you the rest of the way.
Loving the diary its helping me learn as I wrap up my second week! How long have you been growing for and using jacks for? I planned to use Jacks 321 and follow the full strength recommendation and do what greengenes on YT suggests. What mix of jacks or what formula do you us and at what strength? Im just about to move my girls in the rapid rooter to their 2 gallon pots today in Happy frog soil. Any advice for feeding strength or if I should this early on this first transplant watering?
Im already experiencing some trauma with my girls in the first two weeks lol learning curve is hitting me already.
Thanks for any advice you may be able to give!!
@kaneownz, I started my newest ones in 1/4 strength and they seem happy. I just use the 321 ratio, full strength to me is 3.6g of Jack’s + 2.4g of CalNit + 1.2g of Epsom per 1 gal of water which I think is the standard, some people will do 2.5g of CalNit but I have had a good response with 2.4 on every strain. I went to full strength with these at week 2 or 3 iirc. The only issues I’ve had while using Jacks was missing watering and that’s on me. After week 3 nothing changes you just stay at that strength and should be fine. These plants are almost wrapped up and I just finished two other tents of different strains that all used the same nutrient formula without any deficiencies.
I really love Photosynthesis Plus as well during veg. I might add mammoth p or tribus during flower but that’s all I’ve been considering
You're plants look like thier doing really well, I'm also doing a Mephisto genetics strain - Auto S.O.D.K . I've defoliated it and it's doing pretty well tbf. Its pre flowering/ pre flower stretching. Happy growing
@Bashgrowsitall1989, Thank you! I’m pleasantly surprised by the Double Grape right now. I think I may have gotten weird 3BOG seeds though, they’re not growing symmetrically and one like just isn’t growing. Still gonna finish them though.
The defoliation preflower is one of the worst but most satisfying parts lol congrats to that
