No kidding, this will be tough 😥 since I'm running into major problems, like nutrients shortage for at least the first week if not two (I've at my disposal just Biobizz Root Juice. I'll need all the suggestions I can get here. Trying SoG for the first time, with Air Pots 5L, I'm able to put just six of them in my 60x60x140cm tent.
Also I can't check or change water ph so I'm sticking, for now, with natural water from bottles (no big deal, is cheap enough).
With some help from the community I hope to at least conclude the harvest if not a good one.
For germination I'm using a simple CFL light, after that I'll switch immediatly to a 300w COB CREE Led light with full spectrum.
I'll use Biobizz Light mix soil, and if I can't find more I will be able to add only Root Juice for at least one week, if not more.
Wish me luck (and help me, please!),
D5: I've notice the leaf of a couple o seedlings present sign of too much light so I've rise the UFO to 46cm/18inches.
This SoG setup could work? I've choose 5L Air-Pots and I can place 6 of them inside the 60x60x140 tent, still not sure about applying defoliation but I'm guessing that will be necessary. First time SoG, I've always grown pairs of photoperiodic plants in the same tent.
I've put my 6 seedlings under a 300W COB CREE UFO light, atm is a 30cm distance from them, I do hope is not too close. I've only a 140cm height and more would be problematic to manage in the long period.
Hi!
If the led pulls 300W from the wall then I think its too close for the seedlings cos they dont need that strong light. You can raise the light to maybe 70cm distance and if the seedlings start to stretch too much you can lower the light. When they are little bit bigger the distance can be something like 40-50cm and even closer in flowering. If the leds are too close you might burn the plants with heat or excessive lights.
Hey buddy what do you mean by WPM? I see something wise on the leaves, take a close look if it is a silvery shimmer, then you have trips. But can be deceived because it is always difficult to see on pictures :-). Please times check :-) Otherwise your plant looks very good 🙏🏻🌱😎
I've bugs, probably thrips. I'll not be able to obtain organic pesticide (neem oil based) before one week! Is the 7th day from germination, the white bastards are developing and spreading ultrafast. Would be safe to use a chemical pesticide made for roses at this stage?
Salut le jardinier , ca a marché pour les araigner rouge donc ca devrais pour les thrips , tu prend un coton mouillé et tu nettoie bien sous tes feuilles pour tous les enlevés , tu peux utiliser de l'eau et du savon aussi. vue que ta plante est encore petite ça devrais aller
Data from this week are more reliable. I had to do LST on two of them, trying to keep a flat canopy. It didn't work, the two are still far more taller.
Alsi I'keep all 8 of them! 5 in 5L pots, 2 in 1.2L pots and one bonsai style.
Now they enjoy the light of a Mars Hydro TS 1000.
On D24 the overwatering lasts just a couple of hours after watered them, it did not persist.
Now I can add solution temp, PPM and PH!
Even if should not be done on autos, I had to apply supercropping to a beast that grew to 95cm, way over the light. Insane, this strain should reach 60cm tops but I presume competition boosted their stretch. I'll have to defoliate too, too many hidden buds sites.
Also I found some Biobizz nutrients on sale and giving them the full set.
The one who took supercropping responded wonderfully, much better then expected and developing with a ton of bud sites.
Some frost is now visible, I've raise nutrients even if I can't understand how the PPM double for such a low increase of ml/l (following Biobizz nut schedule plus more top max).
Did some very light defoliation at the start of the week to improve airflow which is still a concern.
Definitely some micronutrient deficiency. I checked your journal and noticed that you are using organic nutrients. One of the great ways to overcome this is using seaweed. Try any pure extract and it should help getting those rust off and shall also get your plants alot more green.
Upgraded to a 80x80x160cm tent, finally enjoying some space. What bugs me is that relative humidity skyrocketed (but the same did the local humidity so not sure is related to the new space) to over 60% sometimes.
Raised tge nutrients to the max due to some deficiency that now stopped. It looks like I should have raised them sooner.
Is also been a colder week and the temp is almost ideal.
I see some signs of nute burns, last feed with this high PPM but could be also time to flush? The bonsai is much closer to harvest, too bad I've no tools suited for check thricomes, is hard to say which is milky and I don't want to miss the window. Still at least a week though.
When to flush/harvest? Using biobizz organic nutes so flush is mostly to save more. No tools to check thricomes :( with a flash photo I can see them a bit.
Get yourself a jewelers loop preferably x60 from Amazon you will b able to see the thricomes, I use a Carson microscope x60-x120 (steady hand required x120)
Now I'm flushing and will do probably for another week or so, I've now a 45x magnifier which helps a lot. My problem now is that I see no amber on the bonsai, but she completely ripened a few days agi. Maybe is because quick one has a low thc?
Time to harvest... amber tricomes is the thc breaking down. If you're worried about low thc, amber tricomes will only make it worse. All cloudy is the right stuff. Too much amber gives a lethargic effect. Even on a sativa
She survived everything I did to her, including emergency HST and other problems, it did amazing and is for sure a great starting strain. Maybe today there are other choices higher on THC with about the same flowering time but the Quick One is really resistent. Light high perfect for daytime.
Wow it did soooo much better than I thought, 172g on five 5L pot, two 1.2 and one bonsai.
5L = 40, 27, 24, 29, 33
1.2 = 7, 6
Bonsai = 6
As you can see the pot difference between 1.2 and bonsai was not enough to affect yeld. Now I know that!
Harvested on different days and finished on the very last day of week 10. I did some mistake, like too early flushing, and drying some of them too much fast without noticying it. I've tried bot wet and dry trim, i prefer wet since is easier to do it with the leaves still sticking out.
After some curing you got what it promises, with a low thc is a perfect daytime light high, i mostly notice the citrus tone of it. Great strain very resistent, good for new growers and for weird experiments which could kill other strains.
Great strain, I'll go on something stronger next ride.
@CRiSPrGrow, helped me a lot by the way. Is annoying to not own a good magnifier, I can't really make it out if is a bug. Sadly I do see a silvery shimmer as another member here suggested and could be thrips nymphs :-/
Hey I have had thrips in the past and I don't think you do; four reasons why.
First they leave a shine on the spots they touch unlike your photo, if you google image search "thrips signs" the fist image is from grow weed easy and you can see that it looks almost like a liquid was spilled on the leaves and left a white residue. It is a small difference, but I got more insight.
Second I've had the first set of serrated leaves come out like this and I think it's more related to early growth issues or genetics, but the important point is that the next node's leaves did not have anything like that. If you look at the structure of the leaf in your photo it is irregular which is pointing to an individual plant issue and not a bug issue (I think you'll be okay). Seriously, look there are 1/2 the veins on the top half (relative to photo) as the bottom, that's weird and would not be the result of bugs. So there is for sure something going on with the growth not following the genetic road map...
Third, plants that close together will share an infestation. This is true of almost all plants in artificial environments as they have no predators
Lastly it seems like you're using new stuff and have a new tent, if that is the case how many opportunities would there really be to have an infestation; there will be some, but not a lot.
I would isolate the individual if you are worried about it, but I think you'll be alright. However, if you see this again on another plant and on the second set of leaves, then you might have an issue.
@Complicate, Thank you! I think you're probably right, I'll have my pesticide tomorrow (which is a shame I didn't have already) but so far I don't see sign of it worsening, but I do have spotted tiiiiiiiny, yellow shimmering insects on some leaves. Despite this the damage do not seems to spread, if I do have thrips it could be that they've been slow down by a longer dry phase? My seedlings were a bit underwater today.
