Okay, popped some seeds and time to get a grow going. Used BioBizz Coco, made some cuts to the bottom of the solo cups and planted the seeds into the mix. Watering with plain water for now, Ph'd to 5.8.
Week two, some light colors on some of the seedlings, nothing to worry about just keeping my eye on those babies. Waiting for the roots to establish, then moving into bigger fabric pots.
Started to feed the plants 100ml of water each, low EC of 0.5 with 0.2 base worked on the babies to get some proper green leaf growing. At the start of the run, I just gave random amounts of water from sprayer, that worked way worse than same amount every 2-3 days.
This week I transplanted Exotic Witches & Vanilla Tarts into 3gal fabric pots, rest of the seedlings still in solo cups. Expecting some explosive growth, since I had really nice healthy root mass on the plants I transplanted. Topped the fabric pots at day 23
Noticed some light color on the plants in fabric pots, added Calmag Agent to the feed. Plants in solo cups are almost ready for transplant, just waiting on couple Jilly bean runts to catch up!
Day 31 moved the solo cup seedlings into fabric pots! And also as expected, those seedlings that I transplanted just a while ago just exploded in growth while waiting for the rest.
Day 34 Topped the later set of plants in now in fabric pots!
Day 35 Assembled my flowering tent with a friend, one Exotic Witch & one Vanilla Tart in the 2x4 still until those show sex. Also some neglect on those two, will correct if ladies ;)
Easy does it. Day 41 chopped some males, got 1 Jilly bean, 2 Exotic Witches, 3 Vanilla Tarts, 3 Purple Punch, 3 Phantom Og left.
Day 43 waiting for saucers and my drippers to arrive, hand watering these plants starts to feel like a lot of work!
Day 47 Did some tying down to the plants, good bit of LST helps to keep the height down and nodes popping!
Day 49 Saucers and drippers have arrived, now I need to find some time to assemble the waterlines and test the drippers if those work out for me!
Day 52, built two dripper systems with a friend, one plant gets 3L of water in 3 minutes, thru 3 drippers. Super easy math, 1 dripper, 1L = 1 minute. Anyways, started this week with a low ec flush, since I saw some tips burning thruout the tent. Going to buy a couple more fans to fit inside the tent, then scrog net over the plants and into flower we go. Not yet using the drippers with a timer, manually checking when to water, since half of the tent has just moved into bigger pots. Good shit nevertheless!
26.7 Flipped to flowering last night, also gave a Optic foliar Switch foliar to the whole tent.
29.7 Still waiting for the first signs of flowering, maybe in couple days. Would be nice If I could start counting at the start of next month. Gave plants Fumics, Cal-mag at 1.2ml/L, Recharge and Mammoth P. Looking a lot better. Also going to flip the lights on time to on during day, now humidity is somewhere at 65%...
My 25L once a week mix looks like this:
3tsp Recharge
4ml Mammoth P
1/2tsp Raw Full up (Fulvics)
1.2ml CalMag Agent
1.8 Plants have started to stretch a bit, shouldn't be a problem with the trellis installed. Plants are watered every 2-3days, I usually do feed - half feed / recharge - feed. Seems to be working well.
2.8 I reduced the light to plant distance, noticed too long internodal growth.. Now I got lights at 70cm away, while plants are pretty much 60cm tall. Might need a second trellis on the way too.
5.8 | Bumped the EC to 1.2, due light color
7.8 | I noticed pretty light color on the canopy leaves still, decided to up my EC even more with A+B.
Day 9, some stretch noted when I opened up the tent. Expecting one more week of stretch, then it should start to slow down. Also seems like bending some tops every two days works when trying to keep the canopy level at same height, will have to see if I need the second trellis or not. Second Optic Switch foliar done.
Day 12, managed to burn the tips of the plants with my nutrient mixes / light is too close. Went with 1.3 EC mix for now, 1.5ml of Calmg + 1ml of Canna A+B in 1L of water. Going to defoliate heavy this weekend with a buddy.
Day 16, plants were defoliated hard yesterday and some hairs burned during last night. Im sure the plants will be just fine after the shock, first try going full pale mode with plants :P
Day 20, raised the EC to 1.4, plants have recovered nicely from the massive defoliation, still some nice gaps inbetween, pretty satisfied with how it turned out. One good tip for future rounds would be to lollipop the plants better in veg.
23.8 I burned some budsets leaves with my latest nute mix so going half strenght next time I water. Placed some sticky traps on top of the pots, since I saw some gnats flying around still. H.miles and S.feltiae should do the trick in the rootzone. Buds are developing nicely all across the canopy, if this kind of growth keeps coming im gonna have some spear nugs soon! Extremely happy of how the grow has gone so far, dripper setup hasnt given me much headache so its just 50L of water carrying every two-four days, easy to deal. Defoliation also went really well, there isnt many gaps left in the canopy and all the lowers get some nice LED shine also!
F31 All good in the hood, weekend holiday went better than expected. Plants have grown a bit since I last opened the tent so I decided to pop in with some close ups. Smell is amazing when you open up the zippers, so many tones of candy I almost cant take it. 👽
@GreenHouseLab,Variety for days! Seems like I need 3+ strains to be completely happy with my growing :p Next round is gonna be even more epic, stay tuned my man!
@FoTwenny, Yes, 1000w total. Next grow I will have opportunity for even more light inside the tent. Going to be diffrent strains but other than that pretty similar setup.
