July 4th: 92 days from seed. 21 days since the flip to 12/12.
Removed the fan leaves that were either blocking lower growth tips, or laying on top of each other. Less concerned about increasing yield than I am about preventing mold or white powdery mildew. The RH gets down to 50% during the day at 27 C, and spikes up to 65% overnight at 21 C. It's been extremely humid outside over the past few weeks and so I'm hoping that the defoliation helps to keep the RH in check. If not I'lll add another dehumidifier to the equation.
I also tried to open up the inner canopy on the 2 largest plants by attaching the few remaining free standing mains to the support rings. The plants look happy and healthy and I hope they'll respond well to their haircuts. With any luck I'll be able to stay pretty hands off the rest of the way and simply focus on feeding and environment.
Once my rez is empty I'm going to hand water them with Recharge & Tidal Vision High Tide (https://www.amazon.ca/Tidal-Vision-High-Tide-32oz/dp/B06XBQ1W7W). After that I'll be adjusting my nutrient recipe for a higher ratio of P/K.
Until next week, stay frosty!
The leaves (pictured with weird wrinkles and crispy edges) are showing some form of stress. Theory is that they were dehydrated from the overly salty medium, but I'd love to hear from a more experienced coco grower about if and how I should intervene to alleviate the stress.
From my experience that leaf edge curling upwards means wrong VPD (temp/humidity ratio)
So you have too high temps or too low humidity for this setup and changing either one should correct this.
Can be also some other stress but usually its the vpd
Inflow EC=1333 w/ PH=5.8 vs Runoff EC=658 w/ PH=6.0. Insufficient nutes due to light intensity? Perhaps my PH meter is inaccurate? Light is 42 inches from canopy or ~600 PPFD. RH 65%, Temp 80 F.
As you can see, one of my plants is a few inches taller than the others. They've all been topped 3 times for 8 mains, but I'm wondering whether I should top the big plant 1 more time in an effort to achieve a more uniform canopy height before flipping to 12-12.
What you can do to slow those tops down is to cut off the leaves just below the new growing tips, the one's that are already spread.. take one for minimal slowing or both for more.. it won't really shock the plant so much as slow it down a bit. Or you could just lst them out and tie them down or even just supercrop them by almost snapping them so they sag down they will heal back and be a bit more spread out! Cheers Happy growing!
I've been feeding 3 times/day at an EC = 1300 and PH = 6.2. Runoff this morning was ~700 on average. The plants appear to be happy but I'm worried that I'm underfeeding them and its slowing down growth. Should I increase EC? Should I start feeding more often?
The plants look happy, so if you make changes, make them slowly. Your run-off EC being that much lower than your inflow is kind of weird. A walk up of EC by maybe 50 or 100 points every few days shouldn't be too harmful - but be ready to back down at the first sign of leaf edges crisping.
The difference between them from week 8 to 9 is just marvelous!
I’ve read a lot of conflicting opinions these last few days regarding defoliation/plucking/pruning. Today is day 21 of 12/12 and my only goal is to prevent white powdery mildew. How many leaves would you take off?
RH overnight spikes into the high 70’s if the dehumidifier is off
Привет, бро! 👋 Я бы снял с нижнего этажа все большие развитые листья, со второго этажа я снял бы половину от имеющихся развитых листьев, этаж верхний с соцветиями я бы не рекомендовал дефолиировать! В общем я представил около 30-50 больших веерных листьев, но совсем оставлять лысой - не стоит! 👌 От души! 😇 Удачи! 👍
Yes sir.. sure looks like it.. Banana protrusions are unpredictable, and it can appear even in the most ideal settings. Sadly, it could also start fertilizing females. A few nanners would not cause much damage. However, if there are plenty, consider an early harvest to cut losses and prevent the flowers from forming seeds. You could try plucking the one's you see but you also run the risk of spreading it more. If it's just one plant I'd suggest removing it from the others if possible.. 👊
@BloodSweatBeers, glad you found it helpful. I’m going to post some lessons learned when I do the final update. Hope they will help other new growers avoid some of the mistakes that I made this run.
@BloodSweatBeers, big time. 5 months of care and attention only to wind up with 2 of the 5 plants go hermie on the home stretch. Learning experience though. Won't be messing around with anything but proven top shelf genetics from now on.
@grzesiekkuzniak, thank you sir. Have been finding a few seeds here and there from the 2 nanners I found last week. So I've decided to start the flush as soon as the solution I currently have in the reservoir has been depleted. l'll be harvesting a bit earlier than I had hoped but better than letting the problem spread. Cheers.
@BloodSweatBeers, I feed 5 times every day at the nutrient ratios and EC levels noted. If you want to learn about the science behind high frequency fertigation this is a great resource: https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/principles-fertigation-feed-water-cannabis-coco/
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Keep doing what you are doing and ask the growing ganja gods to protect your women until the growth is over.
