Start of week 2. This probably should be considered the start of veg but I already put a whole 5 min into Week 1 already so deal with it :-P. My girls were looking a little leggy and sad last week so I dropped the light to 30", which is the manufacturer's recommendation, and they seemed to respond right away. Last grow (my first, in soil) I got light burn 5-6 weeks into vegetation also at the manufacturer's recommended distance, so I guess I'll need to be more vigilant in looking for signs of it. Also, for some reason the journal won't save my daytime/nighttime/solution temps. They're pretty consistently 77/72/77 but even when I hit 'save' and everything else stays, the temps reset to 50. So who knows.
I went from 1/4 to 1/2 strength nutes this week and man have they responded! I've been able to get my RH up to 50%ish with buckets of water and a humidier but ugh. I do not like the brown gunk getting left behind by the Fox Farm nutes so I'm going to switch over to GH. I'm already seeing great improvements after the switch in my Amnesia Haze grow.
Also I had some browning on the tips of the top leaves. I had the same issue in my last grow, my LED burns at the manufacturer's recommended distance. So that's bad, and also good because I choose to believe that means it's a powerful light :-). So I raised my lights to about 36" and will keep an eye on things
Holy cow, do these girls like the switch to GH! I'm starting to think this DWC thing is for real. And I love the control mainlining gives over the shape of the plant.
These ladies love the full strength GH nutes. I figure I'll switch them to 12/12 next week to keep pace with the AH in my other grow. I can't believe how much bigger these plants get than soil grows
Things continue to grow really well. I had a little bit of browning at the tips of some leaves right after the swtich and res change and I watched it like a hawk, but outside of 4-5 leaves on each plant, nothing else happened. I shouldn't be near the upper limit of nutes, but who knows.
Opened the grow tent the other day and the smell hit me in the face. I'm thinking the stretch time is over and not a moment too soon as I was starting to worry about space...with 3 plants in a 5'x5'x6' tent lol.
I stopped defoliating after two weeks like most guides suggested, but #3 is still putting out big fan leaves. I tuck them as best I can but some are still shading buds. Should I continue to defoliate?
Dang these girls keep putting out leaves! I keep telling myself to stop clipping them and then a couple days later most of my bud sites are shaded. Oh well, the buds seems to doing OK
No defoliation anymore, but man they sure look bushy. The smell is getting really strong and the humidity has show up like 15% over where it was in veg.
#3's at about 80/20 clear/cloudy so I'm thinking another week or so. #2 looks like she's still 2-3 weeks out at least. It's become pretty obvious these are different strains. #3 looks a lot like the Amnesia Haze it's sharing a tent with, so it's quite possible I lost track lol
Almost there! I'm anywhere from 50-50 clear/cloudy to 10/80/10 clear/cloudy/amber, depending on where I look. I can't imagine it will be more than another week.
Just cut these and put them into the water cure, so I'll have to come back and finish up later. I'm hoping I can get 3-4 water cured oz out of 16 oz wet but I'm probably dreaming. The crazy thing is I thought for sure 2's yield was much bigger than 1's would be, but no. Fewer buds, but fuller.
