Critical Purple hit a big piece of perlite I missed and pushed the root all the way out. Almost lost it.
Seed hull needed help being removed but now it's fully recovered.
All look healthy.
No extra nutes but the kangaroots at the 7th of Jan and the 9th of Jan. Germinated in Happy frog and mother earth coco +perlite 50/50 mix.
Roots went crazy in 2 days, I wanted to leave them in in the cups for another week.
Both white widows and the amnesia are the strongest rooted with Dark Devil right behind them.
My have to make some adjustments with the GG #4 and Critical purple here in a week or 2.
Critical purple has a weak stem due to the germination issue but it is rooting like crazy too.
Stems were all placed 3 inches under soil during transplant, that should help.
Soil mix 50%happy frog 25% ocean forest 25% mother earth coco+perlite, 5lbs Nature's living soil supper soil concentrate 4 lbs bone meal.
Will add topsoil dressing or organic mixes as needed through veg.
Week was good recovery for me and the plants. Word of advice, keep the Mrs. Out of the watering process.
I dropped the light's to 20 inches and cranked them up a little. She seen the top was dry and flooded the plants.
Had to totally keep the room venting and crank the heat up to 85F. Tent was at 75% without the humidifier on.
It's now dropped down to 60% by the time the pots dry out it will be ready for its next feed.
Had one white widow get a little yellow, not sure if it was the shock from transplant or trying to find Noahs arch. It's bounced back.
CO2 tank should be in in a couple days. No more using ventless heater YEA!
YOU ALL BE SAFE OUT THERE! This case of Corona has no limes and no one wants it at the party. Be safe brothers and sisters.
Great week, was trying to decide whether to let it all just go because there autos or defoliate and train or top and train.
So defoliate and some lst and a little chiropractic care.
Girls are about to go through puberty, little hairs starting to pop up.
I'll hit them with some nuts mid week with some carbs and phosphates after that huge soil feed settles down. Quite a bit of nutes for soil that already has supper soil concentrate mixed in.
I also mix all my nutes in the first gallon and spread 600ml over each plant. It's right at 1400 ppm with RO water that's PH to 6.5. The rest of the watter added is RO until pot is saturated and draining.
The first two waterings were 600ml a piece and centered around the stock. 3rdwater they got flooded. 4th after dry out flooded with Nutes.
Kicked the lights up to 45000lum. Raised them up a little to get a little more stretch.
All 5 strains have their own journal book so I can see what works and what doesn't.
Good luck with your grows Sisters and Brothers
Hit with a good dose of nutes up to 1400 ppm. A little high for what's already in the soil.
Got a little tip burn on the amnesia, GG 4, dark devil.
Let dry out a little and then flooded RO water with 2 Tsp per gallon sledge hammer just until watter was flowing out the pots.
Soil pH is 6.9 and 900 ppm on run off. All looks good on bounce back.
Letting dry out a little in the start of week 7.
Week 6 was a little hectic. Little to much nutrients and did a light flush. Looks like there recovering. Everything is starting to flower.
Between Dr visits and out of town work, I'm surprised I haven't killed them all.
Looking like a couple were stunted due to soil and nutrient mix. Others look like they liked it. But lessons learned when trying to grow 5 different strains.
Trimmed a bit out of them going into flower.
Will update week 7 which is complete. For some reason this didn't post last week.
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.
As seeing some deficiency pop up after flush. Also some stress from light. Added dome Cal mag, Alaska fish fertilizer and it started cleaning up.
Added another king Brite 240 raised the lights and set them at 45000 lux evenly accross the tent. Everything looks like it's doing better.
Defoliated a massive amount on most of the plants which you'll see in week 9.
After I did it the 2 smallest plants started taking off. Dropped off c02 till the recovered. Only getting co2 @1100 ppm for 6 hours, 2 hours after they wake up to start. Still around 600ppm when lights go out and then down to 380 during dark.
All looks good, little potassium def. on dark devil. Will be looking at trichromes this week on dark devil. All plants are going to finish at different times.
All going as good as can be. Might be flushing Dark Devil this week. They were all showing signs of being hungry and need of water.
Was late posting week 9. Go check out some of the dark photos in week 9.
Couple of the plants are needing to be flushed due to pH of soil. Will see if tricromes are finishing up on dark devil and let it finish up.
Gg4 and seeds man white widow were late bloomers probably looking 1st week of April to finish.
If you abuse your girls it will show in the end results. Even though I abused them I got more than expected. It was great to learn how to recover them, what they liked, what they didn't like. Can't wait to grow it again. Tough as hell to make it through the abuse I gave it. Smell when growing smells so good, I'm willing to grow it in the house and make the entire house smell like lavender.
Took a little break with the grow. Had an unexpected death in the family.
This was a fun and stressful grow. Next grow I'm not going to use the tent and there will be a bluemat water system.
Well son, we're done! Getting stuff ready for next grow. Got some9 year old seeds that were original genetics.
They were a once cross of Blue cheese and Star Dawg. The original breeder called it Cheese Gawd. I'll be running it at least 3-4 times to stabilize it and pick the best males and females.
