First Time Grow

List of my kit used: 120 x120x200 tent, 600watt LED light CANNA Coco Professional Plus, Nutrients CANNA COCO Cannaboost 1L Accelerator Liquid Barney’s Farm: Amnesia Lemon Feminized Seeds ThermoPro TP50 Room Thermometer Digital Indoor Hygrometer Monitor Temperature and Humidity Meter konjac pH Meter Digital Water Quality Tester, pH TDS EC and Temperature 4 in 1 GOLRISEN Net Plant Support Elastic for 4 * 4 Ft Squares are 5”x5” so stringed it to reduce size of squares to 2 1/2 “ x 2 1/2” Smart STL-SMRT-CO2I CO2 Bag Meaco MeacoDry Dehumidifier ABC Range 10LS These don't appear in the options list This is my first ever grow so i am expecting lots of mistakes :) 2 seeds planted 10mm deep in hydrated disc placed on south facing window ledge. Stood in open Tupperware container. 10mm depth of water in bottom of container. watered top and 10mm in bottom. 3 days later both seeds sprouted. Transplanted plants into large 50ltr pots watered using php 6.0 no nutrients. until I test the PPM in the soil. Room temp 80F Humidity 64% PPM (hanna) coco pro plus 56ppm = hardly any nutrients. Mixed 10 litres of 5.8 ph water with 19ml of canna cocoA and 19ml canna coco B total PPM now 580

WEEK TWO Changed lights from 24/7 to 18/6 Room temp 74F humidity 71% feed 100ml per plant. Left vents open during lights on period to reduce humidity. Room temp 74F humidity 55% . Plants starting to visibly increase.   Upped watering amount to 400ml per plant. Lights off vents closed no fans on.: lowest temp 69F highest humidity 76% Lights on vents open, no extraction fan, inside circulation fan on: lowest temp 74F average 76F humidity 55%

WEEK THREE Upped watering amount to 500ml per plant. Every 24-36 hours. Lights off vents open fans on.: lowest temp 76F highest humidity 85% . Out side room temp 72F Humidity 56%. Lights on vents open fan on. Temp 80.5F Humidity 62%. Looks like I will be needing a de-humidifier,   Noticed Leaves of one have a claw affect, this could be too much wind or too much nitrogen, moved fan from direct blowing on plant, if it continues I will water with no nutrients for a day or two. Placed mini de-humidifier in tent during lights off. out side room temp 72F Humidity 62%. After 6 hours off, inside tent temp 77F Humidity 65%. Having de-humidifier on during lights off reduced humidity by approx 20%. The claw effect seems to have rectified itself after moving fan from direct blowing on plant.

Have been watering with feed every other day, every third feed is just water only, to prevent nutrient build up in soil. Avg Temp 74F avg Humidity 61% 5th 5 finger leaf duo starting to appear, should be topping by end of week.

WEEK Five Still keeping to the same water feed regime. Today they were topped and trimmed. Had them on just water for 2 days and then back to 600ml of feed each per day. Avge temp 74F avge Humidity 60% Started them on full spectrum- grow and bloom switches both on, still on a 18/6 light cycle. I expect to vegging for another week or so. Both plants have heads coming through the net, another day or 2 and should be tucking and weaving. The plant on the left seems to have gone into slow-mo since the topping.

WEEK SIX Been watering 1ltr per plant. Removed the large fan leaves. coco is taking while to dry out and noticed, faint green mould/algae on top of coco. I can only assume i have over watered, so will dry it out a little over the next couple of days. It seems the green mold is a beneficial mold while in the soil but not if gets on plant, so i scraped it all off, it offends me :) Started tucking the main arms coming up. One on left still appears to be slightly weaker than the one on the right. I was wrong about been over watered, it was the total opposite. Due to my reading the measurements wrong i have been feeding them 1/10 of the nutrients i should have ie: 2.2ml instead of 22ml. So fed them 3 litres each with correct amount of nutrients and they have both perked up. Hopefully they will speed up in growth now. They seem to be loving the correct feed, i reckon i have lost approx 1-2 weeks vegging because of this mistake 🙁 I will need to de-foliate them tomorrow, though i may leave the weaker one for another day.

WEEK Seven No water for the last day, going to switch them to 12/12 cycle tonight. Humidity still remains a problem, so will have to invest in a better de-humidifier, every guide says don’t buy the cheap small ones, they don’t do the job, so i now agree 🙂 4 days since light cycle changed, fed a total of 3.5 ltr each during this time using increased nutrients and canna boost as per the canna grow guide looks like they are still transitioning from veg to bloom, this will probably last for at least another week. I need to do some more defoliating, always difficult choosing which to take off.

WEEK Eight- Week 2 of 12/12 Been feeding 2.5 litres 2 days on 1 day off. Removed everything below the net that is not getting much light and wont get above the net. I keep removing leaves that block heads that have made it through the net, or will make it.

WEEK Nine- Week 3 of 12/12 Keeping the same feeding routine, more heads are been exposed to the light. Starting to stretch faster and the first signs pistils appearing. I have marked where buds will be. Invested in a better de-humidifier a few days ago, see list at top of week one. Avge temp 74F avge Humidity 45%

Do i need to defoliate?

2 1/2 litres of feed per plant every 48 hours Avge temp 80F avge Humidity 51% Added a 900w LED Did some light cropping.

2 1/2 litres of feed per plant every 48 hours Avge temp 80F avge Humidity 44% removed 600w LED left just the 900w too much light with both. The plants with both lights on went into overdrive, uptaking more water and expelling less, causing a big drop in humidity 35 and less, removing 600w light humidity went back to mid 40's. Useful to know if you have high humidity extra light can help reduce it, or so i'm thinking. Did some more light cropping.

3 litres of feed per plant every 48 hours Avge temp 84F avge Humidity 44% Just the 900w too much light with both. Finished the pk fed them just water for 2 days now back on the canna feed and boost Did some more light cropping.

Made a few mistakes with this one, mainly too much light, resulting in foxtailing and small buds. But a great smoke :)
