***** Week 8 January 2 to 8, 2021 - Days 50 to 56 from germination *****
She continued her stretch in week 7 at the start, Sativa traits, but the impact of the impact of the timer that malfunctioned and caused the added lights to come on and shoot up temps at the same time has had a huge impact. It happened at the worst possible time to slow her down in growth. All three autos have suffered from this. The pots ran dry, temps up to 98, light intensity went sky high and they suffered for a little over 12 hours like that!! So they have lost leaves and growth in the buds๐ Everything was full stream ahead but came to a haunt and has lasted through this week as well. Lowered lights, dropped off to mainly just water and kelp/vitamin B, and incased all the fan speeds. Not much you can do, a few days later after being pissed about everything you realize you just have to accept the past and move forward๐
Again, this week backed off almost everything and she was only given nutrients once. She doesnโt have a lot of leaves on those long branches so when she loses a few they are impactful.
Little more daily detail.........
Jan 2/21, Day 50
- pots are dry and time for moisture again.
- backing off ppmโs more. Seeing some darker leaves lower down.
- backing off and let her use some of the nutes she already has in her.
- 2.5L water with Enzymes @ 1ml = 15ppm and 5.7pH
- droopy in the morning........see how they look in a couple of hours.
- closed the door to the room last night and temps in the tent were 97 degrees this morning.......they will bounce back but it definitely impacted them last night.
- temps shot up closer to 98 range, pots were dry so no moisture for them, they were already starting to battle toxicity, and then a light on a timer kicked that shouldn't and the girls were under too much light for 12 hours!!!! Yesterday, they looked worse and worse and as the day progressed.
- Temps dropped in the tent to 72 degrees, humidity dropped to 52%, lights turned down to just one 135W in the 3 x 3.........just let them play out the day like that.
Jan 3/21, Day 51
- well F!!!!!!! What happened the night of Jan1/Jan2 was not good. F.....F.....F....
- pots still had a little weight to them this morning. Not normal for the last week......they should have been almost bone dry this morning!
- Have two of the lights on dim today. Temps at 77 degrees and humidity at 57%.......trying to keep them cool and dark.
- watered each girl with 2L plain water only. PPM was 15 and pH was 5.4..........lowered the pH a bit.
- So F.......not much you can do damn it. Lots of plain water for next couple of days and keep them darker.......
Jan 4/20, Day 52
- So getting over it and stop being pissed off, the girls were put in to dark spots and rotated the pots to reduce the light and stop the hurt๐
- Cooled them off 68 degrees for yesterday and the evening. Humidity was dropped to 50% and give some plain water.
- She is pulling out of it. She has lost at least 12 leaves to the stress and the toxicities took over those leaves and dried them out.
- All you can do is accept it now and work on keeping the rest of her happy and out of harms way and she is coming.
- looking better today in the sense that the leaf tip curl is backing off and they are straightening out.
- It is the very tops of her colas that are the most impacted......those that were closest to the lights.
- water day to help keep them getting some moisture and keep them not looking for moisture.
- 2L plain water with VeloKelp and Rezin @ 1ml = 85ppm and 5.7pH
- they have not had a base nutrient feed this week.......just Terpinator, CalMag, Kelp, Microbes, Enzyems, and Rezin........unfortunate but have lost three days now to this light/heat issue....F...!
Jan 5/21, Day 53
- dec 29, a week ago, was the last full strength feed and they have been stressed so I am giving a full feed but at weaker dosage.
- 3L feed with full Remo line @ 1ml each.
- 725ppm and 5.8pH given to her.
Jan 6/21, Day 54
- 2L plain water with Epsom Salts @ 1 gram/Gal, Rezin @ 1.5ml, Enzymes @ 1ml
- 400ppm and 5.9pH
- magnesium deficiencies showing more since the light stress so working with just Epsom salts.
Jan 7/21, Day 55
- 2L feeding with Micro and Bloom and Natures Candy @ 1ml, Astro and MagNifiCal @ 0.5ml, Rezin at 1ml.
- 650ppm and 5.8pH
- adjusted down some of the nutrients that had more nitrogen in them. Trying to keep as much nitrogen out of her as possible this week.
Jan 8/21, Day 56
- 2L watering with plain water - 5.9pH
- let them be today as not much to do at this point.
Hi @@ALTINPIPO, they are 12L. I am going to give some 5 gal try once my bags are done. Like air pots, I do miss being able to dump a bunch of water in the top though. You have to take your time with hand watering.
Cheers and have an event free week๐๐ช
Thank you for this massively detailed diary. May I ask a question about your lights? I have been following along and find that you are adjusting the lights each week to find the sweet spot. When you are trying to dial in your lights, what are you looking for to let you know that you are close to perfect? Is it a combination of lowing the wattage and lowering/raising? What is your secret light adjustment sauce? I read in the week 5 that you are looking for the leaves to droop a bit if the light is too intense/close. Thanks so much!
Brilliant mate I am Just about to order for first time off fast buds this gives me the boost a need think I will change from the coco to the nutrients you are using this will be my second time doin it keep it up mate
