Week 6 - June 14th 2020
What an awesome week!! I think all the girls have now fully settled in, and are thriving!! I haven’t measured everyone yet, but I think some may have doubled in size this week, I’d say everyone at least doubled their growth from last week. I didn’t give any nutrients this week, after last weeks burn I wanted to flush the soil and give everyone a chance to bounce back. After this weeks vigorous growth, I think I will get back onto the nutrients cycle next weekend.
1) Cherry Pie 19” (+4”) - Seed
2) Cherry Pie 19” (+4”) - Seed
3) Peyote Gorilla 15.5” (+4”) - Seed
4) Grapefruit 11.5” (+3.5”) - Clone
5) Frisian Duck 12” (2.5”) - Clone
6) Sundae Punch 15” (+3”) - Clone. *** fully recovered ***
7) Dr. Grinspoon 12” ( +5”) - Seed
8) Grand Daddy Purp 8” (+3”) - Seed
9) Skywalker 8” (+2”) - Seed
10) Kali Mist 16” (+2”) - clone
11) Double Grape Auto 5” (+1”) - seed
Ok so I must be smoking to much of the good stuff.... Growth this week was still excellent. Specifically for Dr. grinspoon, and the 2 Cherry Pie. But unfortunately nobody doubled in size (the doc came close) and most only matched there growth from last week. Temperatures have been good this week, I have been able to stay under 100F most days, but on other days when I does creep up I still think I have enough air circulation that they are getting plenty of CO2. I am going to look into a CO2 bag system for the remainder of the summer, as temps are only going to get worse.
As for the Greenhouse, I am continuing to make solid improvements. This week I got the weather station hooked up, the eaves trough was installed, however I have decided to move the water system outside to allow for a work bench/Station, so I need to add a section and reinstall the down spout. I also got all of my guild plants planted, between them and the industrial fan adding circulation I am seeing very few bugs, flys, insects of any kind really...
This week I still need to sort out the hip vent, extend the eaves trough, and work on some electrical. (Going to run the vent and the fan vent off of a thermostat, with an override switch, also putting the industrial fan on a switch and prepping some electrical for the water pump for my automated watering system (Still in the design stages *in my head*) hoping to get some assistance from a plumber friend of mine.
Will update on Wednesday with a mid week progress report. Hopefully with a Greenhouse video!
@@Rocknrolla420, well I sure hope so, temps are dropping here in Ontario, I’m doing my best to keep the frost off of her. Think she will either come down this week or next.
Glad I stumbled across this grow. What a great project and well documented. This is one of the most fun diaries I’ve read. Can’t wait to see how things continue. Best of luck on the rest of this grow and thank you to your farmhand for adding that extra splash of color to an already colorful diary 😀
@Crpehdm,
With the vent in it, it looks pretty decsent for a selfmade greenhouse.
Im planning to break downs they old, low and tight greenhouse and build 1 with a wooden frame. The ventilator inspired me!! Ill take that idea with me.
Does take in or out? I geuss in.
Good growing and have fun
🍀🍀🍀🙌
@Organic_LarF, Thank you, it’s taken me a bit longer than I wanted, but I’m going the extra mile to make sure it’s done properly so that it will last, with minimal maintenance.
@bingothatsawinner, No not just yet, I figure I have another 2 - 3 weeks of veg left. Not sure if my hand pruners are going to be able to get through the stocks at harvest time! Might have to saw them down!!!
@Crpehdm, oh that’s awesome! Should definitely talk more then, I’m less than a 10 minutes drive to notl! Would love to get some expertise and meet you and your farmhand l😜
