Fo' Twenny Back with another update on our GelatO.G from Seedsman.
She is looking really awesome. She keeps stacking on the calyxes and getting frosty! Overall, super healthy with leaves "praying" to the canna-gods!
Now, on with the deets!
LIGHTING:
Increased lighting at dimmer last week with good results. Was about 70k LUX on average @ Canopy.
Turning it up a bit more this week.
8 Outer Boards @ 665.5w
6 Inner Boards @ 601w
LUX APP MAXES OUT READING 78750 LUX @ Canopy. Lets hope its not too much!
RHIZOSPHERE:
If you didn't tune into the last update, I had just flushed pots due to high PPM runoff. pH of runoff was at 6.3. PPM and pH are tested using 2 separate calibrated BlueLab meters.
All Water/Fertilizer is shared by 3.25 plants (.25 because autoflower gets less than a quarter the volume of the larger plants)

PH to 6.0
1 tsp/gal of Southern AG Garden Friendly Fungicide - Bacillus bacteria known as Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens (OMRI Organic Bacterial Innocclant/compare to Hydroguard)

@BudXs, Thank you sir! I was trying to manage my best so she wouldn't outgrow her space in the veg tent AND wanted to be sure she and the other vegging photoperiods didn't overshadow the budding autoflower in the tent.
@Ferenc, I am great, thank you! I hope all is well with you! I still have a whole new week worth of photos and information to document in these diaries, just hoping to get caught up!!!
Another beautiful work of art here. Damn woman....... with everything you have going on plus the garden how do you get any sleep 😉
You're just a badass I guess. 👊👍😀
@Treighfunky, Thanks for saying that! I have just learned to function well on very little sleep. It's fun for me, though. I enjoy the challenge. I think, in the future, I think max would start is maybe 10-12 different strains. Would be way easier to log than the 24 I have going now.
@FoTwenny, thank you. I'm glad I found this community right off the bat as I was starting. I had smoked for years but never attempted to grow until recently.
@GrowGirl419, I am still learning too! I am not sure the learning ever ends. Biggest tips are to stay clean and organized and don't make guesses. If you're not sure about something, research or ask. Everyone here has been super helpful and I learn a lot from the community here. Glad to have you and good luck to ya!
@FoTwenny, oh absolutely! You have an amazing skill that shines through in your garden and diaries. I'll be following you to learn a bit. I'm a newbie and am absorbing everything I can.
Good morning. Beautiful plants. My name is Billy, I help run the grow off program over at Seedsman and was wondering would you be interested in a grow off for 420?
You do nice work. I’m trying to get serious about growing (and breeding) autoflowers for next year’s outdoor season, and I’ll be studying your grows I think. 😎
