Hello! Here be Quick Sherbet in her 1st week of Bloom, or around day 9, anyway... Hope you're well, Merry holidays! and here's the Deets:
Good:
-Look at this thing, lol! She's huge and showing all her new bud sites😃. Seeing the potential behind her and she's kind of intimidating. Planning a move soon to give her more room to branch out and gather her precious light👌.
-Prays all day, big fans, long stalks, strong laterals... She's an all round good lady to have around and much different then I'm used too.
-Terps starting up. Very light but a hint of berries already... Sweeeet.😐
The 'Meh':
-Ran out of height real quick. Can only really fit in one spot right now and it's a pain to get to the girls in the back, unless I do a massive change. Instead! I will wait until the new lamp comes in and split them 2 and 2👍.
-Over-did it a tad with her, I think... She had some more marginal leaf curl, but mid way up and only on newer growth, what? So, not light, heat or water? No idea what's going on, other then maybe they're taking the brunt of the higher ec feeds. With her specifically, I plan on running a new water-feed-water-feed schedule. Just see what happens😺
Notes of the Week:
-QS and MS have been put under the SF 2000 that has a dimmer. They still have a lot of buffer space at this time, but with this weeks progress I see where they're heading and just planning ahead. Glookies and Gelato OG are now under the non Dimmable 2000 since they're much more stout girls.
-Feeding is still going quite well with all of them and they seem to be dialed in. Not really taking any chances at the moment and just following the schedule. Picked up a little burn with the smaller girls but I backed off a tad and it grew out quickly. Non issue and really happy with Future Harvest right now. Starting to show.
-The amount they've started to eat since the switch was literally overnight and they're taking about 25% more fluid over a 24hr period. I got caught once this week with a little under watering on QS and promptly pissed her off with a little too much to make up for it, hahaha. Gotta watch this for sure as I'm certain it'll only increase from here on out.
-I'm not making any changes to my current medium for awhile, I think. Really happy with BlueSky and just going to normalize with it for a few grows. Took my punches with microbials and organic soil this round, so I'm comfortable using it from here on out and won't be messing around for awhile. Tis best for everyone involved.
-The new 660 W Futur Vet FM8 has come in! but all of these pictures are retroactive and will remain listed as SF until I make the switch or the grow is over. I will be moving at least two of the girls over to see how they do in Bloom under the new system anyways. It won't be a super accurate test (Three weeks into Bloom under SF) but it'll give me an idea and I can see test my limits before next grow👍. Gotta say though, it's frigging sweet😍. When I catch up to Week 2's update I'll post some some of many specs available on it.
Hey all that's her! It's the the 24th today and I don't know what you're up to for Christmas/Holidays/Whatever, I just hope you have a good time folks, no matter what you do👍. Enjoy the bud, buddies and family. Take care and I'll see you all soon with Week 2, Bloom. **Catching up a bit, go me👍**
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.
