day 50: a new week is starting, so i instead of just filling the container with base-nutrients it was time for a change with the base nutrients plus AN additives again..
roots are looking good and healthy to me, just like the plant..
day 53: played around with my magnifying glass and the phone-camera yesterday and added one of the pictures.. the trichomes can be seen with the naked eye already and under a 15x glass they show up quite alright, but they don't come out well when using the phone to take pictures.. other than that: business as usual, so topping up the reservoir with about a liter of nutrient solution (without AN additives other than the calmag) every morning.. given the container only holds about 2 liter, this means that the AN additives are pretty much only in for about 2 to maybe 3 days and even then quite diluted.. today i did add about 2ml of Sensizym again as well, but all in all i keep it on the low side.. she looks healthy and the EC of the reservoir tells me, she should be perfectly fine with around 1.2 mS (she gets 1.4 mS with the weekly swap with AN nutrients, which pushes her a bit, and i can see this on the very tips of the leaves, but then for the rest of the week she is topped up to around 1.0 mS, which then drifts down to around 0.8 the next day when she's topped up again to about 1.0 and the cycle continues).. I know 1.2 to 1.3 mS would be ideal and keep her stable, but she's a Haze and i need to keep her size in check inside the box.. :)
day 56: last evening i noticed some "sacs" on the lower nodes that i had removed - on first sight i was scared that she had turned on me, but on closer inspection it's the calyxes that have swollen up a lot - much more than expected.. I'm looking forward to the coming weeks!
@ijustdontgiveaf, yea I love projects like that. Make you think and try to plan out the best way to get the best possible results from something you throw together and built yourself, its extremely satisfying. Yea I've got 3 different size tents( 4x4x7, 4x8x7 and a 10x10x8) that I run but only post the small tent on here that I test equipment in. I hate how limited you are with tents but the cost to set up is cheaper then a full room. Also there easier to keep on the down low lol
@Ginger_gnome, it's definitely a fun project, so i can only recommend it..
I already bought some seeds for smaller plants which should be about lowryder size ("+speed auto" from sweet seeds for example) so those will be next in line in there.. i'm a bit afraid that the total height of 70cm might still be too little for letting it grow without any lst, but i'll give it a try.. if it get's too big i can just move it into the bigger box.
I also ordered a 60x60x160cm tent and some quantum boards today, so i can get back to somewhat taller plants, without having to bring out the 100x100x180, which i don't really have space for at the moment.. the 160 height of the 2x2 should fit perfectly underneath a hanging cabinet in the garage, so that can be tucked away nicely.
@ijustdontgiveaf, thats sweet man. I've been contemplating building a small cabinet with some muffin fans built into it and putting a aerogarden in it. Could easily do a lowryder in it. After seeing your set up I think I'm going to pull the trigger on it and do the build for the summer.
Greetings from Russia! Your Plants look great! Keep developing in the same spirit! If you are interested in following the adventures of weed in Russia, subscribe to my diaries
@ijustdontgiveaf, Guerrilla cultivation is difficult to regularly update, the less you go to the plantation, the less it leaves traces and this allows the plants to provide some privacy
@RussianGrower, thanks! I've already seen some of your grows and they look great! I was impressed with your outdoor guerilla Zkittles grow.. (while not that regular updates, it still looked like a great harvest!) I was thinking of doing similar here too, but i haven't found a good place yet.
happy growing!
@RatmanJR, thanks.. hydro is quite easy to keep healthy in my opinion, because it's simple to correct any drift and quickly act on it.. it just means having to measure the PH and EC daily and understand what the plant tells you with the changes in the reservoir.
I'm having a bit more problems with my grows in soilless (Plagron), as one of the plants now shows some deficiencies because i believe i didn't get the cutover date from pre-fertilization to manual fertilizing correct (was a bit late)..
Your glueberry og looks nice as well!
