================================================================================= CRIB NOTES - I'M USING A LIGHT CYCLE OF 6 ON 2 OFF THIS SHOULD KEEP THE LADIES FROM STRETCHING AND GROW VERY COMPACT. Many growers advocate the use of an 18/6 light schedule (18 hours on, 6 hours off) while plants are in Veg. However, this may not be the most beneficial light schedule. Switching to a series of 6/2 (6 hours on, 2 hours off) light patterns may increase plant growth while also potentially creating a more stable controlled environment. While this new schedule may sound risky, it actually comes with a number of benefits. Cannabis is a “short-day plant,” meaning that it will only flower when exposed to long periods of darkness and short periods of light. For cannabis to flower, there must be at least 12 hours of continuous darkness. This allows for the use of a series of shorter light schedules while the plant is in Veg – as long as the plant receives less than 12 hours of continuous darkness, it will stay in Veg. BENEFITS OF A 6/2 LIGHT SCHEDULE There is a lot of research that suggests that cannabis plants can only process a certain amount of light per day. After that level has been reached, the plant can no longer absorb more light, and any additional light is essentially wasted. By breaking the light cycle into multiple 6 hour periods, the plant is able to rest and process the light it has received. When the lights come back on 2 hours later, the plant will be ready to process additional light, allowing you to get the most plant growth out of every minute your lights are on. At a biological level, cannabis’s inability to grow more once it has received a certain amount of light can be attributed to the way the plant processes carbon dioxide (CO2). A majority of the mass accumulated in cannabis is associated with the amount of CO2 found inside plant cells. While under light, cannabis tries to prevent CO2 from leaving its cells by cutting off transpiration. However, this prevents new CO2 from entering into the cell, blocking new growth. When the lights are turned off, and no photosynthesis is occurring, the plant is able to absorb new CO2 into its cells. Additionally, when plants are exposed to 18 straight hours of intense light, they become stressed. Signs of stress – droopy or curled leaves – will usually appear towards the end of the light cycle. While some stress can be beneficial to plant growth, too much stress can cause harm to your plants and prevent them from reaching maximum growth potential. Giving plants 6 hours of intense light at a time not only puts less stress on the plants, it also spread out the load on your cooling system over a longer period of time. The cooling system works the hardest when lights are on. By turning off the lights for 2 hours at a time throughout the day, your cooling system will get a break between light cycles, allowing the room to be cooled to desired temperatures before the lights come back on. With a properly sized cooling system, this benefit will be minimized as the system will be designed to handle the heat load throughout the entire light cycle. While there are many approaches to Veg light cycles for cannabis, a 6/2 schedule allows for maximum plant growth. A 6/2 schedule allows plants to process more intense light, prevents plants from becoming stressed and puts less stress on your cooling system. It’s a win all around. Give your plants a break every 2 hours and you’ll be amazed at the results. ================================================================================= Day 1 October 1st - 2018 - The 3 Seeds are in germination at the present. The seeds were soaked in reverse osmosis water for 16 Hr. then transferred to a paper towel. DAY 2 October 2nd - 2018 - 2 out of the 3 seeds have germinated. the first 2 will be put into hydrofarm soilless seed starters using Revers Osmosis water and placed under 3 grolux flor 45 watt. Day 2 October 2nd - 2018 1:00 Pm. All 3 seeds planted into hydrofarm soilless seed starters using Revers Osmosis water and placed under 3 grolux flor 45 watt Day 3 October 3rd - 2018 - 9:00 Am. 2 ladies have popped out there little heads. Day 4 October 4th - 2018- 9:30 Am Seedlings are doing fine. All 3 seeds have germinated. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 ROW being installed. 2:30 Pm ROW installed. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 Seedlings are getting first set of single serrated leaves. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 The tent is setup and running R.O.W. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 Washed all Hydroton Clay Pellets in ROW. NO DETERGENTS. Rinse and Rinse again. Using R.O.W. so the medium has a practically no Ph. Day 6 October 6th - 2018 - Transferred the best 2 seedlings to tent under Veg. 1000 Watt L.E.D. Each bucket contains 19 liters of R.O.W. no nutrients added. This will continue for the next 2-3 weeks depending on growth. Day 6 October 6th - 2018 Seedlings put under Light Cycle of 6 On 2 Off Ect. Day 7 October 7th - 2018 - Seedlings looking good. Seems everything is fine on 6 on 2 off light cycle. Day 7 October 7th - 2018 - The 3rd seed germinated is looking very healthy. Transplanted it from the hydro seed starter to a 1 gallon planter with soil. Placed this in between the 2 main plants in the D.W.C. & used R.O.W.

Welcome to GhostGrow Chapter One by PoshGrow! 🌳 Week #11July 5th - July 12th As I expected Alaskan #4 fully done, so I'll harvest it today. Harvested at july 6th, week 11 day 1 and 72 days from seed to harvest. One of 7 plants in tent, 5 Alaskans, 1 Blueberry and 1 Lemon. Planted in 5 gallon pot. Height before harvest: 72cm. Trimmed all leafs, left only suggar ones, cutted down and hanged in dark dry-closet for slow-dry method. Maintaining 60% humidity and good air circulation. Then going for cure. After all 5 Alaskans done, I'll write a summary about this grow. ———– July 6th. So 4 girls left in a tent: Alaskan #1, #2, #3 & #5. Alaskan #1 & #5 will be ready in week or so I think. Alaskan #3 in about two weeks. And Alaskan #2... Well, hard to say really 😂 Seems its going to be long run lol, dont even know what to do with it... Cant hold it here forever, I need to empty this space for new run, but in the other hand, you cant just throw it away, thats just aint right... Weel, we gonna see in a few upcoming weeks.

Missing a big portion of info but basically this one is going well, veged under TS1000 at half power (75w) then swapped to a 100w with red, ir and uv spectrums. Topped 3 times to create four colas that branch into each corner of the 60cm² (2ft²) trellis net.

Did some defolation. It's no fun at all with just one shoulder. Took me like 3 hours for 2 plants. But good things allways need time. Iam so exited seeing these girls becoming so big. Will try the NPK soon. Lights are on 100% now?

another week on full dose. 3-4 weeks remaining.

1-9 Watered 3x, starting flush. 1-11 Day 67 from seed Day 43 of flower Boosted Scc and cal/mag Small shot ppm 550 ph 6.2 1-12 Started 3x flush. Ppm brought down to about 200. 1-14 Feed Scc ppm 550. Same as last feed. Leaves showing fading. .

Finally back to it!

Because of the light stress she has been getting a few higher leaves have suffered, I may remove a few to get a bit more light penetration to some lower foliage. I have been real happy with this one all grow. Back soon. Take it easy.

Critical Cure is filling out nicely. Picked most of the inchworms off and have some BT showing up on Monday. She got a ring of Coast of Maine 5-2-4 around her base. I'll have to put up the tomato roof in the next couple weeks!

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.

Hello thanks for stopping by. These beautiful ladies from weedseedsexpress are just so easy to grow, they have amazing leafsets and the branch spacing for me is perfect. Lots of space for light and air to get through. Get them in for your summer grows because if the smell is anything to go by i can not wait. I took some leaf off yesterday from the lowest nodes and my hands were sticky with a sweet smelling candy smell.. Just so inviting..😻 i dont really know what i was thinking with how i shaped them. I started out with the thoughts to mainline for 8 colas but then i remembered my triple cheese grow and i can not do another 12+weeks of veg... So i have just shaped them how my eye wanted them. Smoked a big joint then sat and just let it happen.lol so i dont know how it will effect yeild but then i am not growing for max yeild i am growing because i like it and theres the bonus of some great weed..😇 For me i love the tall shape i expect i will have to tie them to the roof to stop breaking (i hope) Feeding is still once a week with some N and otherwise just 6.4 H20 and beneficials when needed.Will be adding some Bloom possibly this week when i see some flowers but at a low EC. I dont know how strong the Ecothrive charge i used at potting is?!? i dont want to stress them with an over feed so will start very very light and build up as they ask for it. Thanks for looking. Grow well and stay safe..👍

So this is the week I found out all about PPFD, PAR and LUX, basically all the basic info one needs to understand how lighting works. So I brought down the 300W LED I have down to 18cm from the plants since that's the spot where I get 1000 PPFD. Since I don't have a quantum meter to measure this directly, I instead measured the LUX output of the LED light with a free app on my phone and then converted the LUX to PPFD using an online converter. Also bought real nutes, more specifically the GHE Flora Duo 500ml tri-pack. As a result I also switched up the feeding schedule, so now I'm feeding them every three days, and doing water only every three feeds. A bit late in the process, but hey, first grow! 😅 Finally, the first amber thricomes are showing, yay! 😍

I mean just WOW!!

They are looking strong and healthy with decent branching before LST. I expect them to be some nice little bushes. I am thoroughly impressed at the rate of growth and maturing on these. I really hope they don't finish in 7 weeks. They are already clearly into their stretch and beginning to make bud sites on day 26.

Semana del 2 al 8 de septiembre 2024, fotos del día jueves 5 de septiembre. Riego el dia lunes por la noche, se rego con Floralicius Plus e Hidrol-pez.

they look amazing, i cannot believe its my first attempt but here we go

Helloing 👋🏻friends and visitors. Clone #1 is hanging in there, it has been raining since Friday night with torrential downpours at times, when it stops raining i go shake her a bit to remove the rain drops and the wind gusts 💨 do the rest 😅 Her pistils are turning brown, which means if i take it from the mother plant she should be good in 2 weeks or less weather permits. Hope she makes it, i love her dark green tone with the purplish color on the leave edges such a beauty 😍 Alright that's all for this week. Thanks for stopping by! Likes and comments are always appreciated. Keep on growin!! Keep on tokin!! 😙💨💨💨💨

Staying busy, East coast is in a heat wave, causing humidity to be little higher than normal peaking up to 64 when lights go out but sitting around 58 most the time & average VPD of 1.30kpa
