WEEK 7

Day 51
Finally, moving day. Finished the new flower tent so I could move things around and get these beauties into the new veg tent. I still need to redo the irrigation system to accommodate the 1 gal starter pots but a temporary “hose nozzle” will do just fine for now. For the first time I was able to really saturate the medium to flush out salt buildup and adjust ph. A couple of the plants … looks like pheno 4 … show some signs of Ca deficiency in older leaves leaves so I added some extra CalMg to the nutes in case it was an ongoing coco Ca issue. All new growth above the affected leaves look lush and healthy.
Day 54
They seem to really like the 4200K CMH spectrum. Even with the second topping, they've added 2+ inches this week. Now that I'm reclaiming the runoff to the reservoir, I'm adjusting for ppm and ph daily. Not much of a problem … about 200ppm and .3ph gain and decreasing daily. I don't have any data on the PHC's feeding habits so I'll just let them tell me what they want.
@BudKingsGrow, SOG isn't in my back of tricks ....SCROG for sure with these but I like big honkin' plants ... not lots if little ones :) Flower room is 5x9 so even if they're all female keepers they'll still have lots of room to grow
Superb GD You've got started here! I am curious about your Grow Light previously mentioned? Maybe add a pic to GD when you get a chance. Keep up the good work, Cheers!
@BudKingsGrow, I’m using a pair of 5000k Quantum boards @ 270W in a 2x4 tent. I get 400 umols at 24”. For actual veg past seeding stage they’ll be under a 4200K Sun System CMH 315 in a 4x4
Bummer about the male to female ratio. I had a similar experience recently. 4 out 5 males!
It happens. I guess you can go back into veg and grow them larger, like one should but honestly ,who wants to stretch out a run by a month! best wishes for the rest of your grow.
