Week 8 Veg
A 6 day week; This girl was given a good leaf strip at the beginning of the week to help with light penetration when going into flower. But a few days later you would never have known she was stripped! She was then given another good defoliation and minor lollipop on Day 55, this was the morning she was thrown into flower (Day 0). I'll be taking a couple of clones from her and giving her a higher lollipop within a few days time.
I start feeding Mammoth P the week before flower as they're more of a phosphorus specific microbe. From then, it is added to their feed once a week at 0.6ml/4ltr (0.15ml/ltr).
Extremely healthy growth and a thick, strong structure on this girl. Her leaves smell very pungent so hopefully her flowers are strong in smell/flavour too.
She was given the above veg nutrients throughout the week apart from on Day 55 (Day 0 Flower), when she was given her first "transition" feeding. This will be explained in next week's update; the first week of Flower.
Thanks for following and happy growing! πΊ
@LordPekers, do you mean my nutrients? All nutes get mixed into one and then feed to the girls. All measurements are listed above for you too mate βοΈπΊ
@Teamdirtbag2, yes I think if I was to get another ceramic it would have to be the DE 630w. But for now I'm going to upgrade to a standard 600w HPS as there's still a lot going on, with the new 600w Ceramic HPS etc. I'll wait until they're cheaper are more readily available haha πΊ
@TheFoxFarmer, that's kind of what I thought. The double is supposed to be equivalent to a 600 hps. I think it's the 615 or something like that. But seems expensive. I haven't found anyone using it.
@Teamdirtbag2, I understand what you mean and in all honesty I don't believe either way is wrong (as long as explained). I wouldn't run only one plant under the one light, otherwise she'd be 4x the size she is/was. This is why i think this is the best way for me to work out the average for the full enviroment. My Apologies, I have no problem being asked anything, I just can't stand sarcastic questions.
In regards to the 315w CMH vs 250w HPS I still haven't came to a conclusion in all honesty. The CMH is slightly cooler than the HPS but it's harder work to get the same weight. There's a lot more defoliation involved to get it to penetrate enough. The full spectrum of the CMH gives the girls more stunning winter colours too throughout flush, but that's about it. I expected more from the 315 but I'm keeping it in until I get a 600w HPS πΊ
@biggreens420, cookies isn't the best yeilder but when given a proper run this girl scout crack can definitely produce some πͺπ my first run with her wasn't at her full potential but my second girl which is in flower atm has been topped a lot more than any other plant I've grown in there! π we'll see! Lol πΊ
Awesome harvest as usual and I really need to get one of them bins or make one like you did the frost on them buds is wicked gonna have to give it a try wicked job that's how I calculate my grows also lol
@biggreens420, cheers Big G βοΈ check out Skunk Sifters on IG mate, I think I'll just start trimming directly ontop of those as soon as they're available π I like to stand up so a big screen will make it a lot easier. Nice one, it's the only way to get proper figures if running other plants lol πβοΈπΊ
