So this is my first ever indoor grow. It has taken me some time but finally got a set up I can call mine.
Started this with a strain I've tried before. Zamnesia Seeds Gorilla Glue. Plus it's the best way to test my setup.
I left the seed in water for 24hrs. It was then placed in wet paper towel and a sealable bag for a further 24hrs. Quick check and placed in the soil.
I'm using Bio Bizz Light mix soil with a little extra perlite added for good
measure. A tiny sprinkle of Green House Feeding Bio Grow was added half way down pot. Not an amount worth mentioning. Just a little to too what was there. Hoping to only add bloom nutrients from now on.
My lights are on 24hrs @ 40% intensity at a height of approx 20in.
According to Lux Lifht app that's around 10000 Lux which I translated to par using the graph the Migro Light youtube channel made a video about. Works out about 90ųMols/m². She seems to be happy at the moment As it has started to grow I'll increase the intensity soon.
Wish me luck✌️
So far so good at the moment. Unsure of her progress as it's my first time using lights. Keeping humidity up is an issue, struggle to raise it above 60°. Using damp towels to help.
Gave her a little feed this week with some BioEnhancer and 5g of BioGrow. The light mix has some feed in it but I'm sure that will help it along. Not easy to record dry amendments on here. Something growdiaries.com should look at.
Sticking with the 24hr light cycle at the moment. Will be dropping that down to 20/4 or 18/6 by end of week. Haven't decided on the best course of action yet.
I would really appreciate any advice you may have for me.
***lowered the light an inch or so, and increased the intensity to 50% on day I noticed her leaves reaching for the light. She seems happy with it at the moment. Putting her in to a 18/6 light schedule from now on. Give her some rest at night***
Hey all, thank you for visiting my diary.
I have adopted a new process this time. I'm updating my diary several times in the week. I am also keeping an eye on my VPD value.
Progress so far:
15g of GHF BioGrow (@1g/Ltr of substrate)
I'm loving this light ( first light so nothing to compare too, lol ). The extra royal blue leds in this setup up have done what u thought they would do, keeping node space down. Third node is in the works and only an inch of height gained. She looks healthy and I only being watered de-ionised water. Couple of little brown spots on her but unsure yet what that will be. Could be nothing and don't want to jump in and fuck it up.
As you can see by the video, I invested in a humidifier. Really helps keep her in the optimum VPD. I think the brown spots are natural life cycle. The leaf curling I was worried about,I'm now putting down to phenotype. Have read that gorilla glue has a signature kink to leaves.
Day 20: She seems to be happy, a little concerned on the slow growth but also aware I'm watching it everyday so, kinda like watching paint dry.
Calibrated my £10 ph meter. Was a little out...🙈 Still using deionised water. Think I'll continue this trend for now.
Please let me know your thoughts. I update my diary almost daily.
Hey fellow growers,thank you for visiting my diary.
Been a good week. Seen some nice growth and pre-flowers coming through.
Keeping her in the mid range for VPD, ideal for her age. Topped her this week too she was on her forth node with the fifth coming through. Need her to fill the space a little so I get a decent yield.
Gave her another dose of feed today. 5g of the BioGrow and 20g of BioBloom. Wee sprinkle of BioEnhancer too.
I'm very happy with my setup so far. Even with the humidifier off it holds a decent climate for her. I'd like to incorporate some CO² but all applications are for larger grow areas.
Again, thank you for visiting and Happy New Year ✌️💚🎆
Hello fellow growers, thank you for visiting my diary.
Been another good week. I tried some LST this week and part of last week. Trying fill the space a it better. She stil seems to be doing well co soldering the mistake I made with the feed. I do find the product I use a little confusing, feeding at ⅓ of the recommended strength. Hopefully I've given her enough to last till the end. Got some PK booster if not. Unfortunately it's not a bio version so a little disappointed I can't have a fully organic grow.
Next time...
Again, thank you for visiting
Hey all, hope you're all well? Thank you for visiting my diary.
Been a good week. Had my first little scare with my VPD level getting too high. She seems happy now.
Hey fellow growers. Been a good week so far. Really starting to see some flower production now. Hopefully she will explode soon. Still only on week six.
My environment has been a lot more stable this week. May have over watered a little this week but she seems to be surviving.
Thank you for visiting my diary ✌️
Hi fellow growers, lots of progress this week. Flowers are starting to fill out. 10 weeks is recorded by Zamnesia so hopefully not long till harvest. Spread her wings a little to keep good airflow. May lose a little yield but at least she won't suffer from stagnant air.
Thank you for visiting my diary...✌️
Hello troops, she is really coming along now. Starting to get a stronger smell from the grow space. Fed her some more booster this week. Find it very hard to record these dry amendments accurately. However I believe I'm close. Trichomes are still mostly clear I think but my magnifying tool isn't the best for looking up close but it gives me a sort of idea where she is. I'm thinking another couple of weeks till she is ready.
Thank you for visiting my diary...✌️
Hey Cannafam, hope you're all well? She is coming along nicely. Think it will go over the 10 weeks time states by Zamnesia but I'm good with that. Really happy with her progress. Trichomes are still showing a little clear in place. Will start the flush next week as I'm sure she will be ready.
Thank you for visiting my diary...✌️
This is the second time I've grown this strain from Zamnesia. Outdoors first, and now my first indoor project. I can safely say I had a better experience growing her this time. She can take a lot of light. She recovers well when damaged. Comparing with last time her colours really showed through this time. Nice bud formation, slightly airy but not opposed to this. This is a great strain for a beginner.
Hey troops, well I've finally harvested the Gorilla Glue. She went the full 10 weeks. Deciding when to harvest seems to be the most difficult. All top bud sites are ready to go but some of the lower, less mature could have had a little longer. I either have mostly ripe or some that have went too far. Prefer the former.
So she is all dry, trimmed and placed in her bed for curing with a 62% Boveda pack. Didn't seem to get a lot from her as expected. However, as this was my first indoor grow I am happy with the results.
I did cut her down a little early. On close inspection of the lower buds, I found more clear than cloudy. Learning curve. Won't be so impatient next time.
Let me know what you think.
Thank you for following this diary. ✌️💚
@Inganjawetrust, appreciate you saying that mate. Happy to have better control of my environment, something I didn't have with my other diaries. Happy new year 👊
