Last week I thought that the 50cm distance between the light and the top of the canopy was ok. But this week, I get some signs of light burns on every plants and I decided to put it back to 60cm. This distance seems to work best for this grow. I think the Cashew Kush shows some slight signs of nitrogen deficiency so I added a bit of BioGrow (1ml/l) and hope it will help. For more info about the "Soil people", see week 9. As part of the "Tent-X Ultimate Grow Challenge" contest, I received a free Tent-X controller, a MBS-TH Humidity/temperature/light sensor and a LMA-14 light control adapter. I requested them on sunday and get them on thursday so it was super fast, thank you @TrolMaster_Europe ! 👌 ------------------------------- Controller + MBS-TH review ------------------------------- The Tent-X controller combined with the MBS-TH sensor provides information about temperature and humidity. The light detector of this sensor is used to trigger the day/night mode of the Tent-X controller but doesn't measure light intensity (you need another sensor for that). I've tried to connect the controller to the phone app and it seemed to work. I will not use this function because it requires to connect the controller to the internet with an Ethernet cable and I don't have an Ethernet plug in my grow room. I set-up a rudimentary fixation system to hang the controller and the sensor since I'm not growing in a tent, but it works haha. Now, I can make my measurement in the center of the canopy instead of making them just above the ground. ---------------------------------------- LMA-14 light control adapter review ---------------------------------------- This adapter allows you to control your light via a RJ45 cable. I'm not using it because my light and my fan are synchronized and my fan cannot be controled by a RJ45 cable. I don't want to have a timer for the fan and a controller for the light. I just use the timer for both. However, Trolmaster sells some plug sockets that can be controled by RJ45 cable so you can control everything with your Tent-X controller.

Que pasa familia, estamos otra vez actualizando la quinta semana de floración, y es que ya van cogiendo unos colores que ya van apeteciendo y todo, el aroma se noto esta semana la sala está llenándose de un aroma bastante dulzón. Quite ya el big bud y empecé aportar un poco de overdrive así se van acostumbrando, y tengo que añadirles algo de Pk que tendré por el cajón esta semana que viene sin fallo lo añado. El ph está siendo controlado y ahora mismo está regulado a 6.5 yo creo que es buen ph para que la planta absorba el Maximo de nutrientes, hasta aquí es todo nada nuevo sin problemas con este proyecto. Buenos humos 💨💨

Decided to try this freebie seed I got from an order. Breeder is Prism Seeds, from Canada I believe. I will be growing this single Feminized Alien Technology plant alongside 3 other Ayahuasca Purple from Barney’s Farm to fill my RDWC setup/tent. Hopefully they jives well together in the same RDWC system when they go to the flowering tent. For now they are in there 3x4 veg tent in 3gal single DWC buckets. I have a 1200w(180w actual) king plus LED about 2.5 feet above them. The humidity was very low so I added a humidifier to the tent and was able to get it up to 50%. But with the seedling being directly over a bubbling bucket of water as long as I keep the rock wool moist she will be fine. Seed went into a glass of water overnight and directly into rock wool cubes and placed back in the dry cup and covered the top for about 24hrs until she came up to the surface. Then I dropped her into a DWC bucket/clay pebbles and put her under a 18/6 light schedule to come up. The next day we could see stem but she was still in her seed breaking free. Second day she was up but I had to remove the seed and skin very carefully to help her out as she was stuck a bit. Couple hours later she was up and out! Just gonna keep the rock wool moist and water the clay pebbles around it for the roots to explore. That’s it for this week, cheers! 💨

Yooooo what is up guys! Welcome back - in to week ten and the zkittlez has been harvested. Cloudy trichs all over and about 10/15% amber so went with a chop today. Wet weight of 628g for the plant roughly. Including a bit of stalk weight, which I’m chuffed with. 🙌🏼 She’s on to dry now, so stay posted for post dry weights. I’ve taken off the majority of fan leaves but left all the sugar leaves for a dry trim and to help slow the drying process. The Runtz still has a few days or weeks left in her. Just waiting for those pistils to stop sprouting and some further clouding up of the trichs and then chop chopppp! Thanks for stopping by 🤟🏻

Had a small issue this week where temp dropped a bit, I was on vacation for a few days and a window got left open to the room the tent is in. The room got down to 62f with the lights on. lights off temp wasn't much cooler. I noticed some canoeing on leaves near the center of the room, I am hoping this was just caused by the temperature stress that happened by the sudden drop. I fixed the temp and issue and it should be back to normal. Trichome's look great under microscope. Getting tightly packed and very cloudy, very little amber color at this point. Cheese #1 Has swelled up quite a bit over the last 5 days, The buds on it are noticeably larger than the ones on Cheese #2 I have moved the led light to cast more on cheese #2 in hopes to get the buds on it to catch up to #1 Still dealing with small calcium deficiencies, I will do a light flush this week of 1/2 strength nutrients and Cal at 6.5 Mid Weekupdate: Flushed plants with 1/3rd nutrient dose and full strength cal mag. Adjusted ph. to 6.5 to allow for better uptake of calcium. The calcium issue isnt bad just some small spotting but I am trying to get ahead of it as there is supposed to be 4 weeks left on the strain. The buds have started to tighten and get more dense. Hairs are about 40% red, some are receding into the bud. Smells like citrus.

Week 4 My girl reaches her final size. I took the opportunity to put the scrog that will be more to support the buds weight. Despite the initial deformity of the leaves, the plant has a very healthy aspect and a very balanced coloring, so I believe that this adventure will not influence the flavor of the flowers. In few weeks... HARVEST TIME 😋 Day 22 Hard defoliation on fan leaves.

on day 21 of flower the 2 lady have got a new Haircut. Also some composttea on day 22 of flower. Light hits the plants with around 850 PPFD. Both plants look very similar (same leaf shape and structure), but one is about 15% larger than her sister. They both look healthy and vigorous.

Hi there, Here we go with the 4th week of veg. As soon as they woke up from the stress of the transplant, they were given another dose of training session . We topped them on the first day of the week. Not yet, but two days later we removed 4-4 large fan leaves each and it became clear how much the lower branches of Marshmallow OG didn’t develop in the shade. I already had the feeling that this variety was not genetically stable. These shots looked quite mutant. They seem to adapt more slowly to the hard plant trainings I use most of the time. On this day we also bent the branches with a tent hook to allow better light penetration to the lower parts.👨🏻‍🌾🌱 They show quite strong indica characteristics at this early stage of the vegetation which is also clearly visible in the shape of the leaves. It is possible that the planned 6-week veg won’t be enough, as they need much more time to regenerate than most varieties I’ve grown so far. Never mind, maybe even this way the possibility of a harvest before Easter can be maintained. After the hard training session they got only half dosage of nuts as they lost a lot of foliage. On the last day of the week watered them again with full dosage. 💦 All in all, they seem healthy but not very happy. I'm adjusting to them a bit and hopefully we'll be just fine for next week. Running the Ts3000 on 65% 42 cm above the canopy which means 450-480 ppfd. 💡🌞 Have a lovely weekend everyone!

7/21/17: They got their watering today. They drank as much as usual. It was MUCH easier feeding out of an 10 gallon container with a spigot. I kinda wish i got the 20 gallon one as that would mean only one mix, but the 10 is fine. I left everything sit after PHing to stabilize, and the runoff looked normal. Pix posted of potential calcium def on speed bud #2 and the kush. The kush looks somewhat different, but maybe I just caught it earlier. Used full Strength CalMagic with 1/2 nutes. I also PHed slightly higher in the 5.9 range to make sure the calcium was available. I didn't expect potential lockout at 5.7-5.8, but looking at the chart Calcium needs slightly higher PH so I hope this takes care of it. I tightened down the original LST in case watering the coco dislodged it, very little. I may start some leaf LST soon to provide the lower canopy more light. We shall see how they look at lights on and decide. Not sure how much further LST to do, because I believe we have our first sexing, as I noticed 2 fine hairs (i think) on NLxBB. Pic posted. Next feeding, any ladies showing their privates will get late stage veg feeding. I may even switch the runts to that feeding even if they haven't shown sex yet. I may even do full strength, as if anything, these plants are showing deficiencies with not even a trace of burn, and if I am going to get any volume out of the yield, I need to start pushing because they aren't that big right now. I have been told LST is not so good when the plants start to flower. I have also been told that autos will continue veg growth for about 2 weeks after sex before they actually start putting energy into flower, so if that is the case LST would still be appropriate during this late veg? Anyone with any experience on this matter? The smell is getting much stronger. During feeding this morning, i left all the tent doors open and went to preparing and other things. When I reentered the room, the smell was QUITE noticeable outside of the tent. I also got my new EC meter. it expresses EC in terms of like, 500, 1500, 2000, etc. It looks like PPM but it is not, it is a very detailed EC reading. So, in the previous example, it should be read as 0.5. 1.5.. and 2.0 EC. I had a TDS pen, but I got it free, unexpectedly, when I switched to a Pur water filter. I figured it as a novelty and they were just bragging. It ended up working reasonably well when I tested faucet vs distilled and nutes, so I have been using it, but since it was an unspecified PPM scale, it seemed wiser to be more accurate with no confusion EC. For the record, the TDS pen from Pur pretty much matched EXACTLY with my new fancy EC meter, which means the Pur water filter works as well as advertised and it took my 150-200 tap water to 0 every time. I certainly have been happy with it for my drinking water. 7/22/17 I am starting to think about more frequent feedings because man do they look perky today, after yesterday's feeding. I really want the advantage of massive root structure that wet/dry cycling provides, but these plants respond well to food. I continue to ponder. 7/23/17 : the good news, we are REALLY growing. I think I have the VPD managed. not under control, but managed. its going to cost me a fortune in AC bill, but I think I got it figured out 18 out of 24 hours of the day. the other 6 are completely out of my control and it is what it is. the bad news... the damage on the kush never did quite look like cal def (speed bud #2 DID look like cal def). i think i saw an aphid. aphid damage looks like what I saw. i crushed it instantly, then regretted crushing it before positively IDing it. either way, a trip to to the hardware store for a pressure sprayer cuz tonight before lights out, its a foliar spray of neem oil and sm-90, followed by a dusting of diatomaceous earth. gott a handle this before budding, and we already have at least 1 lady for sure showing her privates (NLxBB). So, far my 1st impressions for my 1st grow ever can be summed up by the phrase "I didn't know I would need to know how to juggle to get this job!" I'm actually having fun, but I am starting to get get cash fatigue throwing money at each new problem. Granted, I had the neem oil, diatomaceous earth, the DE duster, and the SM-90 already in reserve, but I had to go out AGAIN and grab a pressure sprayer and distilled water. it's not like its expensive, but it adds up. I know the payoff is coming. every time I open that tent and smell it, i can tell the payoff is coming. so much to learn, so many little obstacles to overcome. i am glad i enjoy it. i would hate to do this if i didnt actually enjoy it, like if it was a job. it fits neatly into a challange/recreation area, as far as growing. It's not too easy nor too hard. but it IS demanding. at what i make an hour, it is likely cheaper to buy it. but i truly am enjoying this. you can't buy that. this plant is teaching me a ton already. patience, being the major one i really am enjoying it. i wish i was better at it, but that will come with time... speaking of time, the time lapse is SICK the last 3 days. you are going to have to wait until the end of the week, but trust me, it is fascinating. i wish i could do that part better, more professional, but my focus is on the plant. the time lapse is just bonus and remember, it is VERY cheap to do time lapse. if you want to do it yourself, it will cost you $50 or so for the basics. you gotta do some computer work, but its not hard. i can help. it may be minor, but its something i can contribute. i am enthralled with the footage. i am SO glad i did that. plus i can monitor temps and humidity real time anywhere from my phone with proper port forwarding. since there has been 0% burn, i am VERY tempted to do a full early veg feeding (700pm) before i transition to 1/2 late veg feeding until flower. gonna sit on this, but i likely will push them just to see if they can be pushed, and if so, which strains... again, enjoyment =D a little more LST, main stem hopefully it will help with the bud cuz its gonna fuck with the time lapse 7/24/17 About a half hour before lights out I sprayed them with 1 part sm-90, 5 parts water, and 1 ml per gallon of need oil. This morning Speed Bub #1 had a brown mark on it. I am hoping these marks aren't pests at all, but light burns from draps of water. Only time will tell. I will spray them again tonight or tomorrow, but this time 10 minutes or so before lights out just in case. I have not dusted with diatomaceous earth yet, as I am not convinced I have an infestation yet. Does the brown spot in the new pics look like anything specific to anyone else? 7/26/17 Not much to report. They are growing steady. Still, most not sexed. I am starting to think the stall at the beginning wasn't stunting, but a root network taking hold. I am also starting to think this time limit of autoflowers lacks the urgency that some people speculate. For instance, the speed buds should have started flowering in the 3rd week. We are almost done with week 4 and they aren't even sexed yet, but growing fine, if not slightly small for this age. I suspect autoflowers DO have an internal timer, but that timer may not be as strict as some think; the timer may take into account environment and adjust itself. I don't know, but I haven't seen anyone using 7 gallon pots for autos, so this early stall and late sexing may be unique to this situation, and may support my theory that the week they apparently did not growing on the time lapse, that there were roots going nuts. That would spell out environmental factors, no? I was going to feed them today, but the bags are still so heavy and the tops arent even all dry yet, so I am going to wait a day and go into late veg feeding at lights up tomorrow. Not sure, but I think it's time, wet/dry cycle or not. I will of course, monitor them but they look beautiful. One mistake I made for sure that I won't make again is not fiilling the pots to the top. Not only did I create unnecessary shadows, but the leaves are now pushing and folding on the sides and I have to manually make sure they are straight and getting sufficient light. Practice makes perfect, I will do better next time. A few of the plants are getting some more spots. In my opinion, it is either damage from the neem treatment, or def because they are hungry. Still no evidence of bugs. I was looking for the plants to tell me they were hungry because they look so healthy and the bag is heavy, so I will take this as their message for sure and feed them at lights up tomorrow. Either way, the plants still look great and are growing like weeds. I did wait long to feed them, so this is expected. Later in the day tomorrow, when they perk after watering, we will do their portraits for the week and get this weeks time lapse uploaded. Yeah, I am pretty sure it's calcium. It's a bit worse than I thought, so will for sure get on lights on feeding. I either need to increase calcium in the feed, or feed them more often. I guess it's time to move to more aggressive feeding, at least that is what they seem to be telling me. Normal 1/2 strength feed given more often. 7/27/17 They were fed today, late veg nutes. Will provide details in week 5. I was going to take photos today, but spent almost 8 hours in the ER to be told that I was as healthy as a teeny bopper. That compliment is going to hurt a whole lot when that bill comes in. Of note, I have raised the LEDs 2 nights in a row and the smell is getting much thicker. Anyway, I am exhausted, and have to work tomorrow, so I will take their portraits a little late tomorrow and get the time lapse up before opening week 5.
