today, april 17th, is the day i thought about and decided to upload this grow diary. i am sorry for the last two weeks i had not taken any pictures.
on april 9th i started to add General hydroponic's Koolbloom formula at a rate of about 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. also, because it was a few dollars cheaper, i picked up Cal-Mag from Bloomcity and have started using that instead of the Calimagic. 5ml per gallon.
i started another batch of co2 mash, 10lbs sugar/5 lbs water, 15 grams DADY yeast, about five days ago.
i calibrated my ph meter but have not yet used it to test what my reservoir is, sorry.
at this point it is only drinking about a gallon a day.
i would probably get a bigger end yield off this plant however to try not to waste light i have tucked a couple of other autos on the side, which are definitely now growing into the cash crop and stealing some of her light....if electricity/money/time/tentspace were not any issue, i would not do this, just to see how much this plant could yield without light suckers on her sides.
@grower_not_shower, i used a bloomspect 600 watt, with both veg and bloom switched on over this one plant, it also got some light run off from two other bloomspects and a meizhi 600 non reflector. i "topped" it on march 8th after it was already pretty large. the tent held a very high humidity level through veg. i also used veg nutrients (maxi grow) which help to keep it from budding....the bloomspects give off a lot less red light past 640nm. the same strain plant i had under the meizhi, although it is still huge, it started to bud earlier, my assumption is due to the meizhis more far right spectrum of reds from 650nm-680
amazing crop brother. I'm at week 6 of vegging and planning on leaving it veg for 2 more weeks so flip at the beginning of week 8 but after seeing how big your crop got from week 6 to week 9 i might leave mine veg till week nine. do you ise RO water?
@Lou_Grows, this is an autoflower by the way. i do not use RO water, i use well water which only has a starting ppm of around 60. it is amazing though how much an extra week of veg can do under a lot of watts. i purposely tried my best to hold these in veg by keeping them in veg nutrients, as that is the only way to control an autoflowers cycle.
I keep coming back to look at this and your Dinafem. I'm just amazed at both. I think I'll be adopting some of your technique for plant number 2. Really amazing.
