Recovery ,recovery, recovery. Drowned them with nuts @1400 ppm. Hot for a hot soil mix. Soil mix was missing something different that 3 of the strains were needing.
I dropped the bomb on them, defoliated the hell out of them and lst . Dark Devil no lst.
Let the nutrients set 2 days and flushed with RO testing run off and ph. The plants that weren't showing to much signs of nutrient burn flushed with sledge hammer back to around 1200 ppm 6.5 ph. Plants with burn flushed back to 600 ppm wattered with dechlorinated tap at 7.0 ph.
Finally the seeds man white widow and the gg#4 started into flower.
The kera white widow
and the critcle purp are loving the environment and nutes.
May have to flush the Dark Devil a little more or full flush it. Still showing signs of nute burn.
Over all happy with the grow. I definitely know what each strain likes and what they dont.
I'm keeping a physical journal on each for future grows.
Lessons learned:
For a first indoor grow and a first auto grow, it would have been easier to select hybrids that were close in their sativa/indica ratio.
Sativas are sensitive temperamental little girls.
Get a dehumidifier so the room or tent can be contained with less co2 loss for summer.
Ventless blue flame wall heaters work great in the winter for heating the room and creating plenty of co2.
Running a test grow with 6 plants when your home only 40 hours then gone for 3 days is fun insanity.
@deFharo, Thank you,
Was kind of a pain how I did it. But lessons of education take a little pain. Next diary I'm going to try to pop some beans that are over 7 years old.
It's a strain that an old grower started and ended up having to stop growing on its 2nd cross. If they pop up, I'm going to try to run at least 4 runs of it.
They named it Cheese Gawd.
Heyo. For your Critical Purple grow, did you harvest in week 11? It looks like the strain goes anywhere from 9-12 weeks, and I'm trying to figure out my feeding schedule during flower. Right now, plan is to use fish bone meal in weeks 5 and 7, worm castings in 8, flush in weeks 9 and 10. Cheers, and the nugs you got looked awesome!
@@Cannabis_Chris,
Sorry for the late reply, week 10 from seed it was done. I did stunt it too much. Autos the tend to be lengthy with colas spread out, I tend to give them some intense light at the 2nd week of flower to slow down the stretch. Well they got forgot about for almost a week. But they were 1 big continued bud from base to top.
@MarsHydroLED,
Why doesn't Mars hydro secure the female diver plugs to the shroud? Everything i have ever bought with a jack plug was succured by a nut and the solder joints were not relied upon for structure.
2 grows with this light in a year and a failure each grow.
1st was the power supply cord wasn't making a good connection to the light and the light was going off intermittent.
Now less than a year old, the solder joint on one of the QB for the drive plug is loose so I have one full QB board out.
Don't get me wrong, I love the light it gives out when it works, but dropping my lights out in veg forcing everything to flower before your ready is hell on someone who people with medical cards relies on under grows the crop.
Thanks for all the comments, been having some health issues of my own. Took an ambulance ride and a little stay at the Hospital. No Covid.
I'll try to keep the diary updated.
Kicked the Hydro light to 50% and turned on the kingbrite 240. There offset 15 min morning and night.
Don't have a par meter but went from 15000lum to 22000 lum. Slowed down the stretch and they bushed out. They are all chasing the kingbrite any which way I turn them.
They like the spectrum.
