Growing from seed - just popped up,germinated in soil 1cm deep in a propagator with a
reptileseedlings heating mattress (from ebay item #292119124101) under the propagator to retain
25 degrees celcious,its winter here and day temps can be as low as 13 degrees.
Spraying gently 6 ph water once in two days into propagator an onto seedlings gently to maintain
70%-90% humidity levels.
in a few days will move to grow room with 2 X 250w MH + MarsHydro reflector 192 on full spectrum on
18 on and 6 off for veg.
Will update from grow room next week
moved to the grow room in 2 litre pots,2 units of 250w mh each for 18 hours on + mars 192 reflector that works at this stage only 6 of the 18 hours.
have 2 temperature monitors and one of them (ebay item #332472350186 works great) controls thermostatically a 400w oil radiator which engages at or below 19 celcious to keep cold out at lights off. (night outside temp can be 7-11 degrees)the 18 hours on are done during night to keep warm room and 6 hours off during day,that method has proven itself in the past for me with best results.
a few small vents in the room to keep airflow + larger intake vent
Installed YI Home Camera wifi connected that gives me a quick look from anywhere i'm at.
flowers begins to form.lower leaves are slowly dying and yellowing on other parts but it looks normal as energy is set to flowers and not to growing.streching is done.
Any ideas about more nitrogen? or just proceed with bloom ferts?
getting more ferts to them....
crystals build-up....
from now on,flowering only with 2 X 250w hps and removed the 400w led due to warmer climate outside
No watering this week - the pot is still heavy and somehow saturated.
So far that lady is building up herself very well.
I would like to share an idea-maybe the most important thing i learned from her this grow,coz every time you learn something new and important-
Previous weeks of her did not look promising as leaves were dropped and vegging was slow comparing to the other ladies here.
And then i decided to heat up and stop watering coz she did not intake from the pot that was keeping heavy...
I LEARNED THAT SOMETIMES,EVEN IF YOUR CANOPY TEMP IS PERFECT (25C) AND EVERYTHING LOOKS PERFECT,THE PLANT CAN STILL GET STUCK BECAUSE POT AREA
TEMP WAS LOWER AND PLANT COULD NOT EVAPORATE AND INTAKE WATER AND NUTES...SO...I MENTIONED AT PREVIOUS WEEKS-I WAS READY TO GIVE UP ON HER AND TAKE HER OUT BUT I RAISED TEMPS TO 28C AND SHE STARTED TO IMPROVE.that way the plant started to "sweat" and "work" to live and so evaporation,nutes and water intake and ofcourse development.
thats what i have learned .
always try to see whats wrong even if you think nothings wrong ...temps can be A BIT higher than what the book says...plants survive and know how to handle
lets c her now make it to harvest
thx all
indica domination is noticable - plant is not streching much and colas are big
yesterday smoked first from it.taste is not too good but effect is indica couch locking with a scent of lifting sativa-overall im satisfied
@midEastern, :) i would do the opposite, hps in winter/early spring, leds in spring /summer... Hps is too hot for my tent... I'll keep a look to see how they go under hps !
@Michka,if i had an app that transmits smells i would sent you the smell dude...
this strain is amazing....all the way it keeps compact but dense like a true indica.
just before started to flower 8 weeks ago i took clones off of all my strains (each has its diary ) and vegged them until now...
now my flower room is free again and i veg all 8 clones under my mars 400w true watt reflector full spectrum on for another week and then switch to 1212.
i am expecting 2 more units of BLOOMSPECT 300w to enrich the mars in 2 weeks.
Church is also there 2 ladies but havent started diaries for them.
I wanna see 'em all flower under 600w led this time...and compare led vs previous HPS
@midEastern, your leaves near the bottom are loosing color, from what I can see, and that's not much :) Generally the yellowing starts either from the bottom (nitrogen,potassium, magnesium) or from the top (usually with secondary nutrients like Zinc, manganese, sulfur...) so you either plucked those full yellow leaves or spilled something on top of those leaves so you have yellow in the middle but not on top and bottom, or I just can't see them from the photos
@bobo420,what defs do u c here please?
I have been struggling with her in the past 3 weeks or so as she looked tired and leaves dropping .i flushed her and she got better but i have 3 more other ladies there which r doing great ..so donno whats happening with her.
@@@@flowerboy,my moto is that canopy temperature is a much more important factor than light intensity and i keep my canopy at 25-27 degrees (c).
my plants look healthy and bushy and fill up nice,as they will get higher and also will be moved to 5gal container they will get closer to bulbs/panel so i expect more efficiency and growth to get better as time passes - all in trying to keep stable canopy temp...cheers dude
@bildo,my experience with ghs was always good..church is an indica dominant you will enjoy it.
make sure to let soil dry before each watering
and dont go below 24c when lights in
woooooow the curch.. great choice mate!!
ive smoked church few years ago and it had straight curch incense flavor..it was out of this world..
..
take good care of her and good luck.. i defined suggested to wait her to fully mature before switching to flower
cheers :)
