1/25 HVAC system at grow room went haywire and the temps in the growing area were 94° when I arrived and plants sustained those temps for 24+ hours. Plant leaves were severely folding up around the edges. In the one days time since they were cooked, the leaves have started to go back to normal. Like an idiot listening to random forum advice, I did not feed these gals or treat the coco with anything other than ph'd water and thus I had developed some nasty purple stems and growth appears to be severely stunted. I have since began feeding and the purple stems are correcting and they are growing again. GSC has been fed and was planted in coco charged with mild nutes and calmag. Definitely know better for next grow. Also, going to back off a little on nutes for GG as she is showing mild signs of nute burn on her tips.
1/27 moved girls into their new home. 4x4x6.5' grow tent with 600w mh and will switch to hps when flowering starts. Theyre in an enclosed patio and air temps have been hitting high 40s at night. I have kinked the exhaust ducting to reduce flow, placed thermostat controlled heat mats, and monitoring temp. RHe has been exceptionally low today at 17% so I added a water tray and rh is climbing back up. If I can't sustain temps, I'll move back inside. Root zone temps are staying at 70° air temps 66°. Adjusted light to avg 43k to 51k lux per plant according to my light meter app.
1/27 fed everyone. Prepped and charged 5th pot, can't decide between Fast Buds WCOG or Dinafem Sour D.
1/28 added a temp controlled/thermostat outlet and plugged in the 6" inline can fan pro 420cfm and set temp to 74°. This thing is brilliant and is working flawlessly. Temps and RH are happy. I have a large oscillating fan blowing 24/7 inside for air movement. Upped nutes and fed to counter yellowing. Gave first dose of great white
1/29 popped a Dinafem auto sour diesel, if it sprouts, it will to far behind these plants. I will start it's own journal.
1/30 plants responding well to increased ppms. Yellowing is going away. Upped ppms from 550 to 700 for this feedingame
1/31 concerned about GG growth pattern. It has a very unusual and dense nodes, not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing as from what I've read on mutations, most reduce yield, however some can greatly enhance yields. Time will tell. 21 days in, gotta take her all the way home.
Thanks for the input. Working on lowering the RH, but it has been exceptionally humid here past couple weeks. Normally this room around 50%. Keep the comments coming. Much appreciated
They look fine , I'd lower the humidity to 60% if possible , 70% + and you run the risk of mould - and as the plants get bigger they really like it lower and lower , I take it to 40% but it might be hard to do with a small setup ,I grew the THC bomb a while back and it was a lovely smell/smoke a little small but nonetheless nice.. Gorilla glue however is the nuts ! Enjoy and happy growing !!!
you could try dry rods, usually used in gun cabinets, they can help lower humidity in a small room. I use a 5 column oil heater b/c budget and it fits. Looking really good 👍
I don't know how I missed the start of this diary and why it is only just showing up in the Dinafem section?. I'm glad to have found it and it looks like I have come in just at the right time. The blue cheese is showing some great growth and is now on the way to becoming a great plant. I would say you will have another 7-10 days of stretch then all focus will go into bud production.
I'll keep checking back in to see the progress and thank you for documenting this grow much appreciated.
@Ga4rd2en0er, our auto blue cheese can get quite tall one of our biggest autos for sure. As flowering on my started to show at day 35 I would say you are looking at about 84 days total do 12 weeks from seeds to weed
@DinafemSeeds, hey there, wondering if you have an idea on the average flowering time for the auto blue cheese. she didnt show flowers until 5 weeks and is a large plant at 44"
@MrFolgers88, I am probably no where near the level of experience to be handing out advice, but be prepared for heavy aroma. The blue cheese was the dominate fragrance over the gorilla, thc bomb, and Girl Scout and it is pungent.
Hi,I’ve just had a ww Automatic go whorly on me from 3-4th node up and doesn’t look like stopping??Did you have a good or bad experience ie extra yield/triple the headache?? Thanks in advance L ✌️
