day 57: a new week started, week 5 of flowering - so i started out again with changing the nutrient solution completely and adding the AN additives.. Yesterday evening after the lights went off, i did a very light defoliation again - just some of the bigger fan-leaves and some that were blocking light, so the light could penetrate the canopy and get to the lower bud-sites. might have been a total of around 15 leaves, if even..
the humidity has gone up, to around 65%, so i added a camping de-humidifier, but not sure how much that will help in the relatively small box. for the time being i opened up the box a bit, which then drops it down to the low 50's again. There's no strong smell yet, so I don't mind having it a slight bit open, but will have a look whether the camping dehumidifier will be sufficient, or i add some silica-gel-packs or such.. the defoliating should have helped a bit with the airflow as well.
day 62: added some close-ups. she'll still take a few weeks, but i like what i see so far :)
day 63: last day of the week again, where i only top up with PH'd RO water with the GHE base-nutrients & calmag.. this i do daily, by the way. tomorrow she'll get a full water-exchange with the AN additives again.
@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!
