Howdy all. Here's another installment of Quick Sherbet in her 4th week (roughly). The Deets:
The Good:
-She did really well this week and has some serious tropical vibes going on. She's so quick I have to keep up with her and even the SF's aren't keeping her down. With some weird LST I'm trying to keep things under control right now, but she's totally fine this week.
-Great exponential growth and more foliar surface area. A new plant everyday👍
-Easiest 3 week's I've had in grow so far. It's cruise control with the new mediums and additives I have been using. Two things...that's it, and the results are amazing.
The 'Meh':
-Lot's of Meh to come, unfortunately, but nothing bad happened this week👍
Notes of the Week:
-There are some unfortunate happenings that I will go over in Week 5, but they are not happy😒. Trying to focus on the solution right now and see what I can do. If things don't go well, I'm really tempted to flip and just see what happens....
-Commissioning second SF 2000 soon, but can see there will be a heat issue with both running and them being in a smaller room now. Trying to find simple solutions to get the balance I'm looking for.
-Turning to BlueSky organics complete line now and going full organic*maybe(?)* Big change but willing to learn.
-Due to some lack of N in all girls that the soil medium couldn't keep up with, I added a small Cal/Mag dose and 2-0-0 to help color return. She worked and started to make her way back in a day.
That's it, that's all! For the sake of full transparency, I'll continue these journals even if the girls continue to get worse. They may not finish pretty but I'm going to work my ass off to get them to the end. If you see things in the photos in future that are worrisome? Yes, I know, and I see it too😕. A good conversation with @Mrs_Larmiar has yielded a plan at the very least and I'm going to work my hardest to give these ladies a chance. Thanks btw Larimar! Always a help🙏
you are always welcome... and its necessary to show mistakes,, and in besat cast the solutioms... growing is like life... sunny days and some days with blizzard and troubles
But thats the way we learn....
and there is enough to learn loool
@JinksyGrows,yes you can..........hydrofarm is $168 and its good enough.........considering that you just bought osram leds..........your electric bill will return your investment
@grzesiekkuzniak, LOL! Yep! I would love one but can't afford one. Hoping in the near future, as I keep testing systems, I can get my hands on an actual PAR meter and stop screwing around with ballpark conversions😅. For now I'm hoping to find someone local that I could just borrow one from here and there, lol. Soon!
Watering is really the hardest Part to do it right ....... for me it is like that........
Your Girls really love your Handling, thats easy to see
Kep it up... be a proud canadian and always pop some Seeds
@Mrs_Larimar, Besides seedlings I feel I'm getting better at watering! Now just gotta stop stunting the babies, hahaha. Happy to be Canadian and will keep poppin' and spreading the good word🙏.
@Mrs_Larimar, She's NUTS! She will be moved to her own unit now😂. No matter how many bends I put in and light I put on her, she's just growing out of control!! It's awesome to see and I can also see I will have to up my EC to provide... I'm legit excited😀
@TheUk420Show, Thanks man 💪. Really happy to have this beast. And thankfully no, this isn't the lamp from the contest. Happy to say that system is loooong gone now, hahaha😅👍.
Cheers and Merry Christmas 🎄🙏
@JinksyGrows, I'm doing supercrop on my plants when they stretch like this and they always stretch like this. but supercropped branches keep elevating :))
@HighRoller909, Holy crap man, too real with this one girl😬. She's under her own special lamp now in a tent by herself 😅😅. Gotta do what we gotta do. That or super crop. Hahaha.
@Polaskis, Put em' up! Both the Exotics love their lights man. Persistent prayers. Only now have they stopped a bit due to bud mass pushing them down, but that doesn't stop them from trying😀😅
@SuggaShane, No doubt man😅. Got nothing against the SF series, I really do love them, but this here is some crazy ass tech and is mostly sold/used in commercial LP's😂. Really gotta watch her intensity, especially with UVA. This lamp is actually for a 5x5 too, so there's definitely wasted potential. Probably could have done with the FM6, 480W, but this one allows me to expand without buying more systems👍. I talk to much today... Thanks man! Cheers, lol!
@Mrs_Larimar, Hahaha, you're totally right. Maybe take out the Mehs for a bit too. Nothing bad going on at all😉. I'll take the compliment !!🤣🤣🤣. You know me too well, I think, hahaha.
@SommerVirelli, Thanks man! Literally came in yesterday and I'm running the initial tests before hanging. Holy crap balls it's blinding😅😅😅. Can't wait to grow bigger now man. This lamp will be in a 4x4 but does fully cover 5x5 for veg and bloom😅. I have a dimmer, no worries, hahaha.
