***************** Week 2 of Growth From Seed, April 18 to 25, 2020 - Days 8 to 14 from germination **********************
*
Getting rolling on week 2. The two girls are doing well. GSC2 was named as such due to being slower than the other pheno but she is now advancing faster with respect to her third set of leaves😃😃👍 This are the fist couple of weeks of veg.......not overly exciting. Each girl only has 4 to 6 leaves.......what the hell are you supposed to do😂😂😂😂😂😂 Focusing on environmental changes this week......not too radical though, they are still autos with only three weeks of veg time, roughly👍
Switch CalMag this week and going with GH as it has a 1% value for Nitrogen. Will be increasing the CalMag now as well. Will be getting ppm in the 500 range more this week. May start to introduce AN Sensyzime this week.
Keep moving the lights up and down trying to dial in between 18” and 30” and see how they react. Seems to be about 24” right now they are happy.
Playing with the VPD and finding that they are not as happy with the VPD up around 1.0 and rather happier around 1.4??? (lower humidity keeping same heat) Happier meaning tips up more and in general looking like they are getting bigger. Played with humidity this weekend as well between 52% and 75%. Again, they seem happiest around 58%..........going to try that for a couple of days and see how they grow for the next few days. I feel they are all a little slower at the high humidity when coming closer to 1.0 for VPD. Not backing away from this but rather trying to read the girls as I am used to🤪🤪🤪🤪
*****Daily Detail:
Apr 18, Day 9
- VPD - 1.1
- 2L feed with Vitathrive and Velokelp and Dual Fuel @ 0.75ml/L, CaMg+ @ 0.75ml/L = 575ppm, 5.8pH.
- playing with humidity up and down today.
- ready for a plain water feed and a little larger quantity to soak all the medium.
- not sure if tomorrow though.......might be a little wet yet in the medium.
- GSC is doing well but GSC2 is the one that has really picked up the last two days😃😃😃
Apr 19, Day 9
- VPD - 1.3
- 2L watering today with CaMg and Sensyzime @ 1ml/L each. 240ppm with 5.9pH.
- Had more runoff, that was the goal. Didn't bother to measure this though.
- Just trying to bring the medium pH in line and reduce some of the ppm.
- Things just aren't progressing as I think they should.
Apr 20, Day 10
- VPD 1.5
- dry out day
- lower humidity in tent to 55%
Apr 21, Day 11
- VPD 1.5
- dry out day, again. Humidity kept low.
- Added home made CO2 to the tent today.
- GSC 3.0" tall, and GSC2 2.5" tall only.
- GSC has wider leaves and nice star shape from above.
- GSC2 has more elongated leaves and is covering more of the pot.
Apr 22, Day 12
- VPD 1.4
- Dry out day yet again but now raising the humidity back to 65%.
- tips back up today.
Apr 23, Day 13
- VPD 1.4
- 0.5L - P & V & Vitathrive @ 1ml/L, DF & CalMag@ 0.5ml/L = 410ppm and 5.9pH
- primarily calmag and something for roots.
- GSC is getting wider indica looking leaves. She is still slower than 2 but looks very pretty in structure.
- GSC2 has some narrow blades. All of her leaves are really up today….she is very happy.
Apr 24, Day 14
- VPD 1.4
- 0.5L - Voodoo and Piranha and VeloKelp @ 2ml/L = 180ppm pH'd to 5.6
- tough week.......they battled over watering as a result of some over feeding last week.
Dual Fuel line, base nutes from Green Planet. Anyone reduce part 1 relative to part 2 in flower? Negative effects or only positive? Kept equal ratio last run and not unhappy but considering change . Very high nitrogen! AN Sensi Grow prior. Cheers Growmies👍😀🙏
You can increase the B amount to have more PK than N. But be careful about the cal mag and trace elements , if They are in the A bottle you can have many issues by changing the dosage
Exhale Bags - How long do they really last in use?
Hey Growmies with and Exhale bag and a CO2 monitor........how long are these bags able to keep the CO2 at 800ppm range in your tent? Manufacturer is saying 11 months idea on XL size. 🙏
Привет, бро! 👋
Обычно такая штука эффективно работает около 60% заявленного срока! т.е. где-то 6,5 месяцев! Дальше тоже работает, но не на столько эффективно, как первые пол года! 👆
Удачи, братан!
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌
Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
@Kostecs,First run of cookies from them......strain should have the potential to be big girls😍
7 gal outside should be a nice size to be able to move it around and help with light deprivation or find shelter for a storm.........much bigger than 10 gal and she is staying in place😂
@PrairieFrostGrow, thanks for responding. Have you grown this strain from Fastbuds before?
I am really looking forward to it. I am going to grow it outdoors in about a month. Picked up 4, 7 G pots today and some promix BX. im gonna try this Green Planet Product called Back Country Grow, Bloom & Boost.
I look forward to your updates.
@Mr_Weeds_Autos,Thanks stopping by.......you must be getting a little bored, nothing growing for a bit😀
Hope you are enjoying the fruits of your labours👍🙏
Haha! I went through the same thing on my transplants yesterday! 3 gallon fabrics. Tried to get them out, said screw this and cut them... Saved a lot of time and I won't be buying those ones again. I'll look up radical bags, cause I need something easier here. Was thinking about buying the fabric pots with a velcro strip down the side... Thinking I might be easier(?), Idk!
Anywho! I know you're busy but happy to see the kids doing so well 🙂. Keep up the fine work 👌
@PrairieFrostGrow, Hey, Absolutely give me a shout if you're in Alberta. I love to talk shop with other growers, especially in person👍😀. That would be cool!
And please don't apologize, hahaha. I don't demand a response or nothing. You have a life to live! My comments can certainly wait.
I did check out the radical bags and I hope you do get them next go. They look like what I'm looking for, but a velcro side might be even better!
You take care too, please. Stay safe and happy you're getting a couple weeks off to travel Canadiana🙂. Cheers!!
Thanks @JinksyGrows, sorry I missed the comment😣
Yeah....I ended up spending some of my growing budget unexpectedly this run so the Radical Bags will have to wait for run after the next. Paying for shipping from the US is frustrating so going to wait and make the order worth it when I do........thinking just the 3gal and 5gal for myself.
I was thinking of you on the weekend......on holidays right now for two weeks and was playing with driving down the highway. Nothing planned this summer for holidays so we my find ourselves in your neck of the woods. Chance to smoke a fat one together, well two fat ones today😀, possibly if you are around!!!!! I will direct message you if we go and see if we can make it work, I would know a few days before hand😁
Have a great week and hope you are seeing some sunshine!
Looking good man.. I can’t comment to much as I have never done an indoor grow before.
You’re pictures look good and it sounds you’re enjoying all of this ....
The love of the grow !!
Cheers!
So moussed with my GSC by Fastbuds , 2 of the seeds didn’t even germinate. The third is growing slow and week. I’ll never by a Fastbuds product ever again.
