This week consists of July 2, 2022 thru July 8, 2022 - Seeds were planted on May 27th, 2022 and they all sprouted on May 31st, 2022 (~4 days) Beginning of flower so I changed the light to use the HPS bulb. Maintaining temp and humidity during flower with lower temperatures and a higher VPD has been a bit challenging because of the outside temperature but it went ok. I will start to lower the AC unit temperature during dark period to get a larger difference but it makes it hard to keep the CO2 levels high with the AC unit on more often. The plants are using up a lot more water now so I have increased the feeding/water frequency to at least every other day. LIGHTS: I'm running the lights on an 18-6 schedule. I have the dark time scheduled from 11am to 5pm since the lights increase temperature and during that time the outside temperature is at its highest so it seems to be easier to maintain proper temperature ranges with the light off during that period. Swapped out the metal halide bulb to the high pressure sodium on July 6th since the plants have been in flower. WATER: July 3rd: ~750 - 1000 ml of 6.1 PH and 880 PPM. 15 ml/gal of Big Bloom 10 ml/gal of Grow Big 5 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 5 ml/gal of Cal-Mag July 6th: ~1000 ml of 6.1 PH and 1120 PPM. 20 ml/gal of Big Bloom 15 ml/gal of Grow Big 10 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 5 ml/gal of Cal-Mag July 7th: ~1000 ml of 6.1 PH - oxygenated water TEMP/HUMIDITY: A max of 84.8F and a min of 71.4F with an average of 79.7. VPD was pretty consistently in a tighter range with the average being around 1.41. Whole week numbers> Temp - 79.7F avg - 71.4F min - 84.8F max Humidity - 59.4% avg - 32.0% min - 81% max VPD - 1.41 avg - 0.53 min - 2.55 max CO2: Floating ball is between .5 and 1. This lets a more gradual amount of CO2 to enter the tent and I now get a more stable level of CO2 that fluctuates between around 1000 ppm and 1300 ppm. The regulator is still plugged into the same outlet as the lights so it turns off on the same light/dark schedule. PAR: PPFD between 300-1100. I got a legitimate par meter and now have a much better idea of how much light is being received on each plant. The tops of some plants are getting the 700-1100 range and some side leaves are getting in the 400-500 range. The new bulb gives off a lot of light and the plants have grown much closer to the bulb so some tips are getting a high PAR so they should make excellent use of the increased CO2. ISSUES: The plants are getting a lot bigger and taking more water per week. I removed some of the plants and moved them into a different tent to allow for enough room for them all to bush out and finish stretching. TECHNIQUES: I implemented a very small amount of LST throughout the week and removed only a few inner leaves(defoliation) to increase the light to some of the inner branches.

馃搯 Semana 8 Las plantas entran en la fase final de maduraci贸n, centrando toda su energ铆a en el engorde y compactaci贸n de los cogollos. Los c谩lices se hinchan, la resina aumenta y los aromas se vuelven m谩s intensos y profundos. Empiezan a verse m谩s pistilos oxidados, aunque a煤n quedan algunos blancos, se帽al de que siguen trabajando en este cierre progresivo. La absorci贸n se ralentiza ligeramente y la planta comienza a mostrar el inicio del final del ciclo. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 馃挭!

4 Purple Push Pops PPP (grew 2023 outside)2 Black Cherry Gelato BCG (love to smoke it, first time growing) Clones- from my clone guy 1000w LED, 4G Autopots,, coco/perlite 65/35, GH 3-part+ flourolicious, calimagic, SI, chelated iron, and humic acid , RO water, AC pro Controller and T8, 5x5 GG Tent with extension Garage grow SoCal This week I was out of town and let my grow grow. The autopots did their thing at about .6g a day. I did battle multiple hot days in the garage. We鈥檙e running just under 1000ppm with no issues. I ran out of bloom and used some powdered kool bloom and it worked well. Thinking of switching to jacks RO but it鈥檚 working so good now I don鈥檛 want to switch. This weeks accomplishments: install two more autopots - for the gelatos. I put the gelatos in fabric autopots, one 5g xl and one 15g xxl. Scrogging the gelatos to flatten the canpoy Long term issues Cooling and VPD targets during heat waves Preventing pest and mold issues - my humidity crept up high when I was gone and I saw a few powder leaves which were promptly removed upon my return. I had to take my fianc茅 to a swanky resort for a few days. I hope you all are having as much fun as I am. Best of luck gromies. Check out my black cherry gelato grow. Soon I鈥檒l be posting my outdoor light dep grow - side by side with my indoor grow- same clone batch. This should be a great comparison of indoor versus outdoor grows side by side 馃憤

Die Vollbl眉te beginnt! An Tag 17 nach der Zeitumstellung habe ich die Pflanze gelollipopt. Die unteren 30-40% der Pflanze wurden komplett kahl geschnitten und alle Bl盲tter die die Luftzirkulation behindern, wurden ebenso entfernt. Die Pflanze sieht gesund und stark aus, die Struktur ist offen und erlaubt eine gute Lichtdurchflutung. :)

Ho sistemato LST giornalmente perch茅 continuano a crearsi nuove ramificazioni e gemme ovunque. Sto irrigando con 0.5L di acqua ogni giorno, ma credo dovr貌 passare a 1lt perch茅 l鈥檃ssorbe subito. Giorno 35 - l鈥檃picale si 茅 spezzato al 50% ho provveduto subito a mettergli del nastro di carta intorno e fargli un sostegno sotto per reggerlo nella sua posizione. Immagino che ora se dovesse sopravvivere avr脿 un blocco di qualche giorno. *Giorno 35 h.20.30 dopo solamente 6 ore l鈥檃picale ha iniziato ad alzarsi da solo staccandosi dal sostegno, assurdo!

Week 2 for the solo Afghani went smooth. Looked a little slow to develop her first proper set of leaves, but the root development should help speed up her progression. Still feeding off the slow release 444 and is now regularly drinking about 2oz of water every other day. I also spritz the bottom of the outer cup to keep moisture levels high for stretching roots. She's about 36" from the light. Hoping to get a little stretch to make training easier. Added a couple new pics to get the week caught up. Stay tuned, week 3 starts training.

Day 4 - light LST training. This window is very small to Train correctly and not lost any main stems..the knuckle tends to solidify quite quickly and begins to swell if feed properly...making bending by the knuckle risky

Hello. There are 2 rental houses behind our property and I've been concerned in past years about being ripped off. So I thought a baby monitor would give me more of a secure feeling being able to monitor the greenhouse while eating meals and to have it on while I sleep. It has infrared red light for night vision but I don't know how that will affect the plants in the dark if I put right in the grow tent. The plant are growing great and getting heavy already and we still have 5 weeks to go. I found a large bud vertical yesterday when I walked in. So I had to spent a couple of hours tying up the bigger buds. I got 1/2 the table and I will do the other 1/2 today or tomorrow. I sprayed the soil with Spinosad again to get the spores into the soil so they can come in contact any insect larva and latch on and grow. I'm still waiting for the nematodes to arrive. I imagine the Bug Lady is very busy this time of year so it might be a few more weeks before I see them. I haven't seen any powdery mildew in the garden this year so far. These plants are supposed to be mold resistant anyway. We had a hot spell a few weeks ago and a temperature of over 40* C will kill the spores. But it's always good to keep these type of things in the back of your mind so you can be prepared when it happens. Till next week. Chuck.

The buds are fating up. I removed some leaves which blocked the light for the lower buds. Hope she will be ready soon because I am afraid of mold developing.

Aug 10: small but fast this Chemdawg is going to be ready pretty soon. I鈥檒l resist the urge to harvest for a couple more weeks. Using the UV lights for a few hours at mid-day. Early in using it, but I think it helps. Aug 11: another perfect cannabis weather day with all day sun and five hours of UV lights. Ideally I鈥檇 have another set of four lights so to get full coverage I鈥檓 rotating the plant 90 degrees every 1.5 h or so for five hours total coverage. With the uniform manifold this isn鈥檛 a problem as the overall light coverage is quite even. Anyway, she鈥檚 getting some good strong light so some trichome production should kick in here soon. Looks good.

Ende 6. Bl眉tewoche Die Buds schwellen immer mehr. Dieser Durchgang ist nicht mein sch枚nster ( besonders die Special Kush) aber ich denke das ich trotzdem eine sch枚ne hochwertige Ernte haben werde und verzichte jetzt auch auf gro脽es entgegensteuern mit irgendwelchen N盲hrstoffen. Ich denke wenn ich jetzt einfach so weiter fahre wie zuvor bring ich beide easy ans Ziel. :)
