2nd grow for me and first "GrowDiary".
2 - 27 Gal. Hempy totes with 100% perlite.
Well water at 550 ppm. and ph of 7.3.
Air stones at the bottom.
Light at 33% with gradual 1 hr. sunrise and sunset.
Trying to ride the VPD wave with temps 70-78.
Happy Friday folks.
All are chugging along except that one. Going to have to treat it differently until it gets right.
Increased light to 43%.
Watered 3 times week.
Plan on topping them soon and rooting the cuttings.
That's about it.
Happy Friday growers! A dreadful week. Started out with my ph rising in my nute reservoir, causing a phosphorus deficiency. I flush the totes with lighter nutes and 5.5 ph to level it out and end up over watering them. I got rid of the drip system and will be hand watering again. They are recovering now since I've left them alone for the past few days, letting them dry. I topped plant 2 and placed the cutting to root in my tent. Not planning on doing much else until full recovery That's about it folks. You can sure love these ladies to death.
Happy Friday again folks. They seem to be doing well after last weeks over watering mishap. Still haven't needed to water in 10 days, but will need to soon. Starting to do some LST. That's about it. Let it grow!
Happy Friday everybody.
Defoliated a bit early on and took more clones.
Switched the light over to 12/12 today and cranked it up to 50%.
Hope they don't stretch too much in the next couple weeks, I'll be out of room.
Cruising right along. Planted the rooted clones for next grow in my tent. Sprayed a couple ingredients just to prevent future pest and spore problems. Ready to see some bud. Have a happy Friday.
Happy Friday folks. The runt plant turned out to be a male, so I pulled it. Odd coming from a feminized pack l, but oh well. After today I will change to a flowering nutrient scheme.
Have a great weekend.
Happy Friday folks.
Started noticing magnesium deficiency, so I started using CaliMagic and foliar fed some magnesium sulphate. Also noticed just a few male flowers on one plant, so I plucked them off. Really liking number 3 the most so far, so I will dedicate a clone of it as a mother plant.
It is giving me a hard time to upload photos here. In my week 11, there are photos of my deficiency.
Temps 75-80
Using well water at 500 ppm and 7.3 ph.
GH gro-micro hardwater-bloom @
5-10-15ml./gal. at 5.7 ph.
Plan on watering til run off today, as I never tested/had any run off
Looks like since you haven't had any run off you've got some salt build up causing problems. Next time you water do so until runoff and try a photo of 6-6.5
Happy Friday folks! Still figuring things out, focusing on the third pheno. I believe either my 550 ppm well water has locked out nutes with its calcium, or I am not feeding enough on the bloom side. They aren't dead yet!
Getting exciting with less than 2 weeks from chop. Decreasing nutes and just babying them. I see a few seed pods from plant #1 releasing pollen from some undetected sacs, maybe due to a light leak. Buds look amazing and the smell is undescribable, Peppery Berry aroma or something like that.
Next grow I will use a scrog net for support perhaps. Clones are already begging to be put into flower.
Here is my calculation of grams per watt.
Gram/watt with 300 grams of dried flower.
7 weeks 100 watts at 18 hours a day
100w ÷ 1000 = 0.1 kwh x 18 = 1.8 x 49 = 88kwh
4 weeks 160 watts at 12 hours a day
160 ÷ 1000 = .16kwh x 12 = 12.16 x 28 = 53kwh
4 weeks 240 watts at 12 hours a day
240 ÷ 1000 = .24khw x 12 = 2.88 x 28 = 80kwh
2 weeks 320 watts at 12 hours a day
320 ÷ 1000 = .32 x 12 = 3.84 x 14 = 53kwh
88 + 53 + 80 + 53 = 274 total kwh
300 grams dried flower ÷ 274 total kwh = ~1.1g/watt
Purple Tahoe seemed to grow somewhat like a sativa but smokes like an indica. Pungent smells and flavors. I had a salt build up near the end that I couldn't shake, I just babied them til' the chop. Didn't bother with a wet weight, but the buds should be dry in a day or two. I'll be back to update.
I will be growing hempy only from this day on.
Hence my name change. I don't think it can get any easier as to my circumstances being in a closet and a small tent. The closet has some light leaks, so we produced some nanners on a couple buds. Going to change roles of the tent/closet since the tent is sealed like mad.
This grow turned out way better than I thought. I have taken to advice on the environment, nutrients/water and lights, which are the most important variables, and everything turned out killer. Time to flip the clones I've taken soon....so that's about all.
