DAY 50: COMING OUT OF THE HAZE
- No action today, just watching it grow. I think the emergency is over.
DAY 51: MORE GROWING. NO ACTION
- Just documenting the growth.
- No need for watering after a couple of days of heavy watering.
DAY 53: TESTING NEW WATER/NUTRIENT SCHEDULE AN MIX
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
* INGREDIENTS
* => Declorinate tap water, adjust pH to between 6.0 and 6.5
* => Mamoth P @ 0.16ml/L - every watering
* => Fish Sh!t @ 1ml/L - every watering
* => Aloe Vera flakes
* => Molassas approx. 5ml/L - as needed
* MIX
* => In a jar with a lid, combine Aloe Vera flakes and a small amount of base water. Put on the lid. Shake hard. Allow to rest up to 20 minutes.
* => Combine water, Mammoth P, Fish Sh!t and Aloe Vera (opt. mollassas)
* WATER PLANTS
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
- Watered with 1.5 liters of nutrient mix
DAY 55: JUST A WATER DAY
- Watered with 1 liter of above nutrient solution.

* Sorry, not many pictures this week. Just been busy. Primarily trying to deal with a recurrence of the nutrient problem. But, it is not life-threatening.

The leaves at the top of the plant seem to be curling up. My first guess is that there is too much light. I recently moved my light down to 12 inches above the canopy. The PPFD should still be under 1,000, but I don't know what else could be causing it. Please help. 🙏
it's mostly down to the temperature i suppose, actually the relationship between the temperature and the humidity regulates the stomatas on the leafs, if the VPD is not where it should be the stomatas can open or contract in a way that bends the whole leafs. Lots of new words, basically stomatas are the leaf pores, VPD is vapor pressure deficit. Hope this helps ! 🚀
hey there, hope i answered your question ! learn more about VPD here : https://pulsegrow.com/blogs/learn/vpd this will help you level up . Anything else you need , just let me know 👊
I think it’s the watering part even tho your not overwatering you’re still watering it every day so that’s overwatering let it dry it needs an oxygen break before it gets watered again let it decide when it wants water not you ..
@240sxOG, I agree. I'd rather water every other day. This time I have a very light soil mix and will water in slightly greater amounts, but try to keep it to every other day.
Also adding coco to the soil is not a bad idea. It does improve drainage, coco doesn't hold onto water very long. 👍🌱Looking like lovely buds there. And your leaves are fine for this stage of growth, it is normal for them to do this when ripening
@Fruitgrower, thanks for the reply. I harvested both plants in the garden earlier this week. I'll have a full harvest report soon, but I'm hoping for about 25 g per plant dried. That would be about 14% more fruit from these plants than my previous organic garden. Always learning.
Nice buds on this girl as well!! Should be nice and sticky in the grinder:)
11 to 12 weeks is what I had with Mephisto Skywalker and my Sweet n Sour looks like she will be in the 11 week range as well.
Enjoy the smoke Boss!!!!!
@PrairieFrostGrow, I harvested my last Double Grape about a week earlier and I think that was too early. This one I let it run until the plant was full of fall colors. It is drying right now, but should be able to measure dry weight tomorrow. I'm hoping for over 28 grams/plant. I may be a bit short of that.
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, thanks for the kind words. If you have comments or questions, feel free. I like to chat.
After a long time as a small hydro/photo grower (strickly personal use and then sometimes short 😕) I've moved to organic and autos. What a change. I used to spend all my time trying to control the growth, height in particular. Now it's all about getting them as big as I can. Maybe I should really follow Mephisto's advice and basically grow them as SOG! (From their 2018 Strain Guide: Best Method for overall high yield - 9 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 15 Liter pots) I probably should crowd four into my 18"x18" (~0.4 m sq)!
