Week of 07/10 - 07/17
This is Ivone! Brazilian grower here :)
Got a *clone* from a friend. First week my little baby was developing the roots directly on the Rockwool Cube. I've used a dome to increase humidity during this period.
Ivone is getting more beautiful every day! I did some defoliation this week!
It was too hot this week - I kept the door open during the day.
I bought new lights for Ivone! Got a Samsung lm301h 120w + IR + UV.
Last week before switching to 12/12!
Ivone looks health, checking PPM/PH everyday. I started with 1350 PPM but current optimum value was 1220 PPM. I've noticed water PPM started to increase, which means that Ivone was drinking more water than consuming nutrients.
At the beginning of next week I will perform another major defoliation before switching to 12/12.
Also, the best acquisition I made was definitely my new lights (Samsung samsung lm301h 120w + IR + UV) - Ivone looks bigger and grow temp is lower now because of the COB Quantum light (my new light hardly generates heat!)
Lights are now on 12/12 schedule
I did a major defoliation on the same day I switched the light schedule.
I also reduced PPM this week to avoid nutrient burn/stress since I turned on IR and UV.
Ivone is starting showing the first pistils!
I did another defoliation, removing some lower branches/leaves and top leaves to open some space for the lower buds. Let's gooooo!
I bought some extra nutrients, start adding them slowly - rapid start only for now.
I did another defoliation, a soft one this time...Ivone is growing too fast! I noticed this strain is branching a lot to the sides, so I constantly removed branches.
Aso, I've noticed some weird colors in some leaves, and a small nutrient burn due to the extra nutrients I added. PPM/PH has been monitored everyday, always checking if the plant is drinking more water than nutrients or not.
Ivone is getting bigger and bigger! This time I've added extra nutrients: CALiMAGic, Diamond Nectar, FloraBlend (decided to use this week only) and Floralicious Plus. On my spreadsheet I calculated 70% for base nutrients and 30% for extra nutrients (% relative to the Flora Series Expert Recirculating chart from GHE).
Some nutrient burn this week, I reduced the PPM during the week. It was also super super hot this week, and my grow turned off for some hours during the afternoon one day..
A lot of white hairs sticking out from the buds! Plant has completely stopped growing now.
I'm reducing the PPM a little this week.
It will be a long flowering phase, this strain is ready with 12~14 weeks of flowering. New lights are fucking amazing!
Buds are getting fatter every day! Ivone looks amazing guys!
Removed some super smalls lower buds, I took too long to remove them. This week was cold here, good for Ivone :)
Guys, now my diary is finally up to date with my grow!
This week Ivone was super healthy, I'm really seeing difference when using UV during the flowering stage. I'll keep you guys updated from now until the harvest! ~2/3 more weeks to go!
Take care guys! 💚
