Hello all and welcome to Week 4 of Bloom w/ Granddaddy Bruce. The Deets: The Good: -GDPB is a very healthy and seemingly very healthy girl. She had a great week and is starting to pack on a little weight on all sections. Also getting nice and shiny as she's shedding trichs at a high rate now. -Zero signs or symptoms of previous issues I had been facing w/ her/them in previous weeks. Kinda just cruising along right now without much intervention except for feeding and a defo here and there. -Feeding schedule seems to be to her liking and she is in a perpetual state of praying to the light😊. The Bad: -Three week streak. No Bad😀 The 'Meh': -Still waiting to see the Bruce Banner in her... Had a friend over and she agreed, this girl seems a little behind her counterparts. Not as thick or budding up as quickly😕. I still don't know what she is even supposed to look like or what the end game yield/quality will be. Maybe she's right on track and this is normal, idk. Regardless, she's happy and healthy and that's all I can really ask for. -Sparse fan leaves also seem to be an issue w/ her. Again, everything there is healthy and vigorous, but has so much less sugar leaves then the others. She is more reminiscent of a sativa right now then Dutchy, the actual 80/20% Sativa dom. Just.... weird pheno's man. It is interesting to say the least, haha😄 Notes of the Week: -Won't be including anymore 'current height' photo's as all the girls have tapped out and the stretch is officially over. Several inches left for bud growth, just in case👍. -Things are a little easier to move now after I pulled both GDPB and PSK inwards a bit. The squat beasts in the back are still a pain but I can move the two tallest girls w/ ease now, giving me access to the girls out of reach. Soon I'll suck them further inwards with a 2" wide, non-static cloth band, about 1/3 the way up. It's a really easy application and has worked really well in the past two grows. To adjust, just sliding it up and down will open up or close the canopy. -For consistency sake, Flora-liscous has been cut and I've turned to Green Planet's "Liquid Weight". Zero issues thus far. Hoping to see good results with this one. -Going back to Emerald Harvest's potassium silicate to help shore the girls up as they pack on more weight. I know it's harmless stuff, but I did cut it for a bit when things weren't going too well. Didn't want to push my luck, but I think it's more then okay to go back to now. -In all further entries the Nutrient portion will be the full dose used over a period of 3 days, not all in one go. Since I'm on daily feedings now, I don't really know how to record that, so this is the best I can come up with. **Happy news. I officially have the funds to purchase a second quantum board and complete my 4x4 lighting footprint!😃 Haven't purchased anything yet, and pretty certain I'll be using a second SF-2000 (or two SF-1000's), but I am looking around for equivalents and any new, fair priced, high quality lamps that may be a better fit. Hoping to make the decision, purchase the lamp and put it into operation by Week 6 of Bloom. Fingers crossed I can finish up and ripen all four of these girls under a new quantum in place! Excited!** Thanks for stopping by folks! Hope you all had a decent week and I hope you all have some more good days to come. Stay safe and take care all you happy growers and HAPPY CANADA DAY to my Canadian fellows😃. Go get lit and watch some fire works! hahaha 😄😅 I'll try and do the same. Cheers and see you all next week. *Any quantum board suggestions, or whether you'd prefer two lamps over one? Please leave em below with a link! Thanks!*

Check out the DYI lights @FoTwenny made... (first diary week I think she describes the setup) 👍

@FoTwenny, well it's a cracking DIY job .. when I have a bigger space I'll be writing for help 😁 - thank you ..

@JinksyGrows, I am also considering buying a small Electric Hoist to raise and lower the units too and use "yo-yo hangers" on each corner to keep from the units from spinning. Might sound excessive, but having the ability to quickly and easily raise and lower the lights would be well worth the investment. I have been eyeing one with 110lb capacity and it only weighs a little over 12lbs. Anyhow, if you have questions or if I can help in anyway, please let me know. Happy growing!

Oveerwatering Issues=?. I feel you- To me the watering Regime is the hardest one to learn in indoor growing. It took me a good number of grows. I ended in watering daily, and smaller amounts. and Always to look for the plant before i water^^. If you have tiny plants, use tiny buckets to water them. ( a small glass )etc. You may take longer, but you cant overdo it. Or take a small plasticbottle and do some markings onto the bottle. so you see how much you want to give to one plant. and can Control how much they already got.

@Mrs_Larimar, got that right. I have no issues watering of established plants but seedlings in final pots are a bitch.

@Mrs_Larimar, This is exactly what I've started to do as of yesterday, haha. I can't be trusted with the 100mL syringe, so I'm back to bottle feeds. Going waaay better, haha. Thanks👍. I'll stop drowning them😅

Man how did we experience the exact same thing at the same time!? Reading the comments I’m so glad to hear they’re bouncing back!! I just had 5 nodes when I overwatered and had 0 growth for 7 days and lost the 3 lower nodes on all my girls. Since reporting in fabric pots they’ve bounced back and are growing as good as ever! Can’t wait to see how yours bounce back man, good luck!!

@ButtersStotch, Funny eh? Haha. Well, not a that funny, but crap does happen. And we're in the same boat, but it a good way this time🙂. I moved mine to 3 gallon fabrics too and they're moving surprisingly really well now. Woot! Congrats on the recovery man. Onwards 😀👍

=====You Asked====== *Any quantum board suggestions, or whether you'd prefer two lamps over one? Please leave em below with a link! Thanks!* ==================== Alibaba is like the Chinese Version Of Amazon https://www.alibaba.com/ they have some of the best prices on lights - you can get lights of better quality at much less than you would pay locally I was going to buy a spider farmer for my 4x4 but went instead with this light and can not be any happier. Geeklight Cree MB-480-V4-PLUS W/ 3500K 660NM UV IR https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/480-watt-led-grow-light-monster_62107049571.html?spm=a2700.12243863.0.0.57943e5fus1IaD 🙌🙌👏Please Check Out My Newest Diary's🙌🙌👏

@MrJones, I did ask😀 and thank you for the response👍. I've been on alibaba before, but you're correct. I should hop over there and check specs and options before buying a name! Cheers Jones, I'm on the hunt👌

@Mrs_Larimar, That's a good point. I was looking at last week's pictures and trich development and she is moving very quick. The purple and fade only started 4 days ago too and that's going really fast. May have to cut down sooner, but I'll let her tell me😉. Just keeping a real close eye on them now.

Good to know about the benefit of ticking analog as nice programable digital. Come to think of it, these household timers, are usually design for fence light or even night light. They are not rated for the wattage for grow room at all.
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrows
@Med_in_Tropic, You've got it, 100%. Residential timers being used for commercial lighting. Danger😮. With LED, the wattage is nice and constant without a spike👍. Thanks for reading man!

Out of curiosity, what was your starting soil?
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrows
@Huggomadd,No doubt man. I learned a big lesson from this, and maybe it was necessary (?). I was taking people's word at face value, but they could have literally know nothing in the first place. I test everything now, lol! And only buy mediums that the seller has proof of using and/or testing before use👍. Live and learn! But this one hurt. Oof.

@JinksyGrows, The standard should be that garden centers/shops stand behind their products because they've tried them out previously themselves. Like tried and true. Hard to say; "Yeah this product works great and gives you a huge/great harvest. You should pay the $ and try it." When they truly haven't got a clue about the product.
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrows
@Ga4rd2en0er, Non name brand, locally sourced soil, sold at a gardening greenhouse, not a hydro shop. I've had words with the greenhouse already... Haha. Not happy, and told them to pull the product, less they have another 40 of me coming to crap on them. I asked if they ever test their substrates before selling them, too. They said no... So, won't ever trust them again. Edit 1: The soil was sold to me as 5.5pH seeding soil, btw. Higher N to PK volume. Should be standard stuff... Not sure how or where it got turned sour. Edit 2: And things are looking good, right now. I will not be kiboshing the project 👍. Lost time, but they're moving very well, now, in their new home

Well that is a beautifully growing plant - stunning leaves and very healthy looking. Nice job mate 👌 A few more weeks and it will be hard for you to find your way inside that space :)

@HazeyBobby, I sure hope so🙂. Did a bunch of LST on 3 of 4 today and really starting to see exponential, daily growth. Slow and steady wins the race, but fast vegging plants is a beauty sight👌☺️
