Started with a viparspectra 150 for the first few days, as i have heat problems with the viparspectra 300. I been using viparspectre 300 in the day time with the closet open, and the viparspectre 150 at night with the closet door closed (because of heat).
I have a spider farmer sf-1000, hopefully it will cause less heat.
Also need to do something for better air intake in the closet.
I also have a new humidifier on the way, as the cheap ones from amazon got bad quite fast running all the time.
I will also be able to control the new one from a raspberry pi, making the environment more stable
For other future improvements to the grow: Bought an 11 liter pot to transplant to when it arrives, as 5 liters might be too small.
Recieved sf-1000 light at day 5
I repottet the plant from 5 to 11 liters at day 8.
I tried to provide as little stress as possible, by cutting out the bottom of the 5 liter pot, placing it in the 11 liters and then filliung up with earth.
Once it were stable, i removed the rest of the 5 liter pot. Sadly i did not have enough coco, so about 30% of the mix is organic soil.
I also changed the light hours to accommodate heat.
Experienced underwatering on day 12, so i fed 1 liter of nutrient solution and then fed ph 6 water till it came out the bottom of the pot.
Upped watering from day 13 to one 0.33 ml nute feeding in the morning, and a 0.33 ml ph water in the evening
This week will focus on water.
It turns out to be more thirsty than I can keep up with, so I will hook up more pumps to the PI and do automatik watering.
On day 13 i checked run off PH, and saw it at 7.4.
I then flushed with ph 5.7 water till i saw a ph of 6.4 (about 3-4 liters) and then fed a liter of nutrient solution, and checked run off to be same EC as the solution.
Lets see how it goes :)
This week will be all about training the plant into shape before flowering.
I've been training over the last couple of days, it seems like the plant responds very well.
I am seeing pistols, i will keep my nutrient solution the same, and wait another week before ramping up the bloom.
Saw runoff at ph: 6.5 and EC: 1.9
As the plant seem to thrive i will not flush but i have a slightly lower ph feeding water this week.
Will keep the nutrients the same as last week.
Started out checking run off at 6.8 ph and 2.3 ec, so flushed with 5 liters of ph water, and gave nutrient solution. Run off ended up with 1.25 ec, and 6.2 ph.
I switched the solution to be bloom dominant, and added GH bloom to stimulate bud growth, as I like to help kick the plant into bud making mindset
The plant is now root bound, I see roots coming out of the top coco layer, and roots in the drip tray.
I have gradually changed the water from over the last week, starting with the stats last week and now I landed on the stats posted for this week.
The plant is now more or less at its maximum width, and it is happily producing buds.
Now I will just wait it out, continuing to removes leaves to expose budsites
Update: The plant is doing okay, but it does look like there are some nutrient issues (long thin leaves , bended tips)
I have read up on NPK a bit and have settled on going from a bloom dominant feed to a micro dominant feed.
I am now running the ratio suggested by royal queen seeds (https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/content/46-the-blooming-phase#tres) at 3,22-1,69
Everything is going well, I noticed the rear of the tent is alot higher than the front, so I rotated the plant and skewed the light.. It will be interesting to see if that has an effect on the lower bud sites
The plant was starving a bit, so I doubled the nutrients some time last week,after noticing yellow leaves at the bottom.
After that leaves has turned dark green in color, and the buds are fattening.
I will keep an eye out for crystals forming so I can start taking microscope pictures of the progression of those as well
I removed a lot of leaves as i saw some condensed water trapped between layers.
It seems to be going good, and i do not plan anything special, but hope to see some trichomes this week :)
I noticed the top leaves are turning more lime (see pictures of day 74).
I used the same nute ratio for weeks.
Should i do something, or is it simply the plant reaching the end of its life?
Приветствую, бро! 👋 У тебя пересвет на концах роста. Переизбыток света и тепла могут вызвать обесцвечивание. Подними лампу выше и направь обдув на крайние точки роста, чтоб поток воздуха остужал их. Очень высокая дневная температура 32 градуса, постарайся обеспечить приток свежего воздуха, комфортная температура для её стадии 23-28 градусов. Удачи, бро! 👌😇👍
How many weeks should i expect to keep this running before harvesting? package says 9 weeks, but it is not ready yet i think, my guess is around 10-14 days more? pictures are from today and yesterday
The advertised duration is for optimal conditions.
It generally takes about 2 weeks longer in my experience.
Your plant will need another 2-3 weeks, since there are still lots of white pistils and the buds will fatten up a lot in those last weeks.
Good luck with your grow :)
OMG бро! Она уже готова к урожаю! 😇👌
Производитель твоих семян вообще завил о 35 днях цветения, но ты ей дал больше, она уже глубоко показывает дефицит в листве. Это урожай 😇👌
Поздравляю! Удачи! 👍😇
