my first growing test:
The plants have a start for the 5th weeks for life. I built a simple grow room what's 110cm x 110cm x 200cm and I use mixed soil for my plants.
I gave too much water and nutrients for them in the last week that's why they have another two days without water. I use Ion-exchanged water with Kristalon Gold nutrients and sometimes supplementary nutrients what's on the pictures.
The bigger plants are 25cm height and the smaller plants are 22cm.
Flowering now. I had a little problem in the last week with Ion-exchanged water because the plants haven't the right Ca amount with that water. I needed to add more Ca for them that's why I use mineral water now. Because they are flowering, I add more K with a little P.
Kristalon Gold is a high quality nutrient mix but I want to give more K and P for my plants for the good flowering. N-P-K rates are 18-6-19+23 SO3+ME. ( It's contain cool amount of B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn).
I use a Co2 bag because I can't to solve the co2 amount in a different way at this moment and it's a good solution for me. The co2 760PPM in my custom grow room.
I use simple GreensIndoor lamps with full spectrum what's power consumption 520 real watts totally from now on. I used for 170W in the first 3 weeks and 250W in the 4th-5th weeks. I'm waiting for a new full spectrum lamp with IR and UV leds what's plus real 100W because I want to give IR for their better flowers. GreensIndoor is going just 660nm and I think it will be better if they will get IR lights also. This lamp will come in this week. I can't wait it. The real led power will be real 620W in my small room. The plants like these lights.
I wanted to use 600-1000W HID or Natrium lamp in first time but I don't wanted to waste my time with the hot air in my small grow room and I had not more energy to build a good cooler system that's why I choice the LED. Maybe the LUX/Lumen/umol are less as the HID or Natrium but these lamps are not hot and the Lumens/Lux/umol rates are perfect to me.
I'm happy because the bigger plants are 34cm height and the smaller plants are 30cm. It is a good growth in a week.
I'm happy now because my plants are growing on fastly and the flowers are healthy.
I needed to buy an air dehumidifier because I was in a fight with the damp in my small grow room.
The co2 bag is working perfectly and the lamps are very good lights also. They get 80-90000LUX and lumen in full spectrum in 1,1m2 all in all.
I'm waiting for the magic and I'm careful with my plants. I want good weed in the end.
The plants are 46-49cm heights now.
They were growing fastly in this week again. The flowers are bigger and better.
I need to add more water them because they are thirsty. The nutrients dose same as the last week.
Co2 bag is working good and the lamps also. The co2 bag make too much water now that's why I made two little hole at the bottom of the bag because it can to dry. I hope it will not produce too much co2 now but it was too wet into.
I hope the next week will be good again.
The plants heights between 57-65cm now.
I'm happy now again. It was good week because they had zero problem and they have a very strong smell now. Finally I see that what will be in the end and I'm calm because I can to smoke it soon. I can't wait.
I need to give them more water but I added less K in this week because I don't want to add too much from this nutrition. All of good in this moment and I have a little job with them before I smoke them.
I think three plants will be finish earlier for two week in turn they are from same pocket like the others. Two plants started to flowering more than one weeks later. It's not a problem for me, just I don't understand why.
They had Ca deficiency again, it is visible on some leaf on two plants. I add 7ml FitoHorm Ca per liter of water against this problem what's solve it.
The old Co2 bag is empty now and I made up for it. I use a new Co2 bag.
I'm watering with PH7.0 water what's mineralwater with PH 6.5 originally. I add the nutritients that's why the water will be PH 7.0. The Soil is PH 6.0 originally and they live in a PH 6.5 soil because watering.
The lamps works goodly but my all lamps are simple greensindoor lamps. 5x35W panels with 660nm deep red and 3000K warm white leds and 2x80W plant lamps with deep red 660nm plus 5000K cold white and 3000K warm white leds plus a 45W plant lamp with warm white, deep red, blue, IR and UV leds and 1x25W "purple" plant lamp what's not visible on the pictures.
I have two week before I cut out them. Big heads with good smell.
I'm not add more nutritients for them, I use clean water in the next two weeks because I don't want a bad taste when I will smoke these heads.
