Going to post a few grow questions about DLI. I’m confused about calculating with inter canopy lighting. Cultivator series blended. Dropped tasty terps to conserve for flowering.

Today, day 23 was the last repotting. Girls went from 11.6L to a 20L pot. Now there in the right place, serious things can begin ! I planned to top the girls on wednesday or thursday. It will depends on hos they will recover. Actually, it's my first time with smartpots. If smartpots have a lot of advantages, repotting is not one of them ! I made a mistake : the plants were 60% dry, and abviously, it was not a good idea ! It should be clearly moist. Nextime I think I will water the girls 1 hour before repotting. I hope it will be ok and they will recover from this tough moment.... Will see in a few days 😰😨 Anyway, I have generously watered them right after repotting with no nutrient. Juste clear water with the right Ph. As they are in some brand new light-mix medium, I thought they have enough nutrient for a at least 2 or 3 days. D-25 : Everything is ok. Girls seems to have recover very well :) Anyway, I'll wait at least one more day before topping. D-26 : Topping the girls. Hope everything is going to ok... Also feeding the girls right after the top. During the topping process, the plants were reduced from 25cm to 12cm.

Welcome to my Purple Haze Autoflower diary sponsored by MSNL, Spider-Farmer, Mars-Hydro & Xpert Nutrients. Days 1-14 Really happy with how she's moving. Good solid growth. Her DLI is 40. Having a lux meter has improved my grows so much. Knowing your DLI and where the hottest/coldest parts off your plants (ppfd wise) is just really the next step in adding that thing to your grow(s) that sets your next crop from your last. As I'm a long way from where I want to be. My next crop will focus on 2-3 plants. Doing 35 really is its too much work. Timing and moving plants around as there all at different stages. Like autos in pre fower will only take about 35-40dli before showing stress (drooping for ages after lights out or near the end of lights on) but, really you only see it about 20m after lights out. So its kinda of a ritual for me to check my girls after I put them to bed. Also doing 3-4 swaps and plant moves in and out of my dark room, or moving from the 70cm2 into my 1m2 (having a same spectrum of very close is a must if you're going to reg change lights/tents. As for this strain. She's really happy. Bit of wind burn you can see my 360degree ball fan is to powerful on its lowest setting. I'm thinking of putting something to break the wind on her. I did remove the 1st true leafs/nodes much later than I did with my 2 Fastbuds (that stalled for a wk) but they're back strong. And no early flip. Really only thing I can think of is the DLI and not stressing them day in day out with lights out has improved all my plants. (Lux meter id suggest any grower who wants to push their limits) Maintenance 1st True leafs/nodes removed to help energy move to the next more important sets. Very little to no feed. I'm keeping her going with Fish force and Royal mix soil. This week I'll be adding Xpert Nutrients. MAJOR DISCOUNT & FREE SHIPPING TO EU FROM XPERT NUTRIENTS 15% DISCOUNT (CODE:GGST) Thanks to my many sponsors and friends. I thank you all. Its been a great platform to give me lots of opportunities to work with many great people in the industry. And to you, my viewers, I truly appreciate you. Without yous. Id have none of this. So drop a like. As id like to return the favour and drop by your pages and s what I can learn. Thank you all very much.

Welcome to another season of Grow N' Smoke! This is my 9th grow but my second diary. Luckily I came upon some seeds that I had been desperate to try, Cookies Gelato from Royal Queen Seeds. Shout out to James and RQS, they deliver to the USA now! I got my seeds sooner than I thought and was able to start my grow last Sunday 2/19/23. It's now Saturday 2/25/23 and we are off to good start. A 100% Germination! How awesome! I'm really excited about this grow and I am very hopeful of the results. I hope that you enjoy this journey with me and that we can help each other along the way.

Servus zusammen 🏽 Im Vergleich zum Rest im Zelt ist alles beim Alten... Sie hängt ein paar Tage hinterher... Was aber nichts ausmacht... Sie macht sich gut und zeigt eben etwas langsamer in welche Richtung sie will😁 Ich bin zufrieden und weiterhin gespannt

On 7th day of flowering we removed lower little branches and made some lollipopping on the plants. Also we made some defoliation on gelatos cause they were very bushy but almost removed only biggest fan leaf. As plants were bigger enough we started adding granural mineral NPK 12-18-23 1 g/L and CalMag Xtra by advanced nutrients 1mL/L to the solution.

I love this lady. She's too big to move and get any decent shots but trust me she is a queen Huge regal structure as a kush should be. Flowers are just a mass of sugar and pistil. smells are sweet and citrus in the room atm.. love it. feeds are at 1.8ec no more big fruota left but i hope to get some more asap and re introduce it. makea for some great dense buds. uvb is running twice a day for an hour pwr seaaion. x bars are running at 50% giving an avwrage ppfd of 1005umols. happy days.. thanks for passing by. grow well

Saudações. Menina está bem seus botões estão ficar bonitos. Bem dei a ela um bom tacho de comida, 😂 primeras semanas de flor gosto de dar de comer, até semana 5/6. Dai para frente vou reduzido frequência de nutrientes e sua confirmação. Bem estou satisfeito por não ter cortado minha menina, bem ela não mostrou mais sinais de macho, agora só resta esperar para ver se cortei bolas a tempo. Bem mas por aspeto de menina, não deve ter sementes, se tiver será um número muito reduzido. Saudações até breve

She is coming along nicely. She had good growth this week. The root has made its way into the reservoir now. So she will begin to start drinking more water/nutes real soon. I did turn off my flower light setting and now it is only running the veg lighting. So you can tell in the pics that’s it’s very blue compared to last week and the purple/pink colour. I noticed when I made that change the leaves doubled in size in just a day. I probably should have made that change a while ago.

📆 Semana 8 El cultivo entra en plena fase de engorde, con una absorción eficiente y el coco estable. La planta dirige toda su energía a ganar densidad y peso en las flores. Los cogollos siguen compactando y la resina aumenta, cubriendo cada vez más la superficie. El cultivo se mantiene sano, con buen color y aromas más intensos. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Day 36 to 42 I haven't been able to strap down Stardawg #2 (bottom left) much because I cracked the stem slightly. It's healing fine and not a major concern but I'd rather hang on a bit. # Day 36 - Fed 410ppm full strength to FR1 - Fed 360 ppm half bloom(1:2 bloom:veg) to rest until they are flowering more. # Day 38 - Fed 710 ppm full strength to FR1 (I am going to start boosting higher now, I should have been at this strength at week 3-4 - 360ppm half bloom to the rest # day 40 - 810 ppm to FR 1 - 610 ppm to rest 5:1 veg to bloom. See nutrients ratios above # Day 41 - Plants were looking dry and I was nervous about how many nutes I fed them so I fed them water PhD to 5.8. - FR1 FLUSHED with 5.8. I chickened out 🐔

My first grow ever, I use sanny's bio kit. https://www.sanniesshop.com/bio-sannie-bacto.html?sl=en First week just a little bit of water every day. Now in the second week they are a bit more thirsty! But enough water for 2 day's.

The journey of a legend begins: Acapulco Gold. Carefully selected seeds, allowed to hydrate in water for 12 hours, then transferred between two sheets of absorbent paper in a propagator heated to 25°C. After 48 hours, the first roots break the shell: a sign that life has won once again. At the time of the transplant, a light and draining Light Mix bed awaits you, enriched with Cellmax Rootbooster, Extreme Garden and Dynamyco: a welcome designed to immediately stimulate a strong, vital and mycorized radical structure. A simple but fundamental start: here the foundations are laid for healthy and productive plants

All I can say is that this thing is a beast. She likely only has a week or two left so I did one last small top dress with dry amendments as well as some ewc and super soil to top it off. Cant wait to watch this girl really fatten up. She’s already having trouble holding up the colas. 😎🍿🍻🌱

This is my first hydro grow and first time with clones. I have a few semi successful outdoor grows under my belt but the weather (hot AF) and caterpillar apocalypse (lost a beast of a plant and the tops of most others) last year are forcing me inside. Reservoir is an hdx 27 gallon tote with 15 gallons of actual water capacity about 1/4” under net pots. Attached to 1/4 hp active aqua chiller (overkill but got a deal and am in so cal; last years consistent 100+ temps ravaged my outdoor grow and can even make indoor temp regulation difficult) with two 5” and one 4” air stones in main res and one 4” in a 5 gallon top off res (not part of the system until/if I need it) attached to two 15L/minute active aqua air pumps. I wanted to have a bit of a barrier between the ambient temps inside the tent (rest of the room is a/c controlled) and the actual reservoir so I built a base to set the tent sans bottom putting the top of the res at the floor of the tent. This also raises the reservoir off the ground and hoping it will save some back aches once scrog comes into play. This also frees up 16” of vertical space inside tent and although I intend to scrog it should help as a buffer with temps and I won’t have to worry about light distance since plants are at floor level. To keep as much unnecessary heat out of the 4x2 tent the spider farmer light ballast was removed and relocated to outside the tent which I’m glad because during testing the ballast and light are each producing 120 degrees. Half of that is outside the tent allowing the temps inside the tent to stay about around when room temp is about 78 (a/c off but weather is fluctuating) with a small fan at base level and a 6” clip on fan for higher up. Reservoir will be 66-68 at all times thanks to the chiller. For ph management I am going to be using a torus hydro perfect ph (35 gallon). I’m hoping their claims aren’t just hype because they say it removes H+ and OH- ions to allow the ph to maintain 5.8 - 6.2 ph (without any additional buffers). This small fluctuation allows all nutrients to be taken in while a stagnant ph will prevent certain nutrient uptake hence a more complete usage. These are claims among others they made, let’s see if the science is legit. Unfortunately this being my first hydro grow I have no standard to base this off, but if I don’t have to worry about my ph that’s one less worry. Nutrients will be GH flora trio and cal-mag plus hydroguard. Not sure about additional additives, want to keep it pretty basic but suggestions for this nute/strain combo would be appreciated. I was intending on growing wedding cake or venom og but cake was sold out and venom didn’t look great so I ended up coming home with two gelato clones from universal nurseries. I’ve always liked this strain but wanted the cake because I’ve read it’s highly resilient. What I was not expecting was that these would be rooted in neoprene. I’m new to hydro and aside from the research and reading throughout my grows I usually overlooked neoprene. I guess it could be better than the rock wool as it shouldn’t leach and mess with ph? They are surrounded by hydroton and will be hand watered until roots make it to water. Update day 6: I went against my better judgment and initially painted my lid for light leakage. Ended up dumping my entire reservoir two days in because it was full of paint chips (even though it was formulated for plastic it still chipped off in high volume). Used a drill pump from HD, worked well as the intake is a 1/4” pvc tube I could suck up the paint chips and the water, but DO NOT USE to transfer anything but waste water as the output contained grease from the pump! Got a new lid and will just be using panda film for light blockage. Added a small humidifier because rh was in the 30-40 range, now temps and rh are consistently 70 degrees and about 65%. Nutes are 1/4 strength except calimag due likely to stoned math... Plants don’t seem to be minding so I’m not trying to sweat it much. Slight upward drift in ppm and ec as water is taken in or evaporates and ph is slowly swinging in the range torus hydro said it would so that is a success as I have not used any buffers. They claim it is more effective when it can directly interact with a root mass so it seems promising. New growth sprouting all over but no roots have made it out of the net pots. I went with 6” hoping roots will branch laterally exposing move root mass to the air gap once developed. Started noticing slight yellowing of leaves day 4 and some drooping (due to low rh as they perked up after adding humidifier) so I went from 50ml top feed daily to 100ml, also turned light down to 15% and everyone is happy.

Das Wasser zum gießen ist immer wie folgt zusammengesetzt: 9 l Regenwasser +1 l Leitungswasser. Dann Düngemenge Hesi wie oben beschrieben dazugeben und im Anschluss den PH Wert anpassen auf 5,7-5,9. Am Anfang der Woche die Pflanzen hart entlaubt 😁. Sie haben es zusammen mit dem Superscropping gut weggesteckt. Beim Superscropping habe ich 2 zukünftige Blüten kaputt gemacht.... Fuck🙁, aber wird schon wieder....Innerhalb von 3 Tagen ordentlich gewachsen + viele neue Blätter produziert. Die letzten 5 Tage war die aktive Zuluft an. Da die Außentemperatur stark gefallen ist, ist die Zuluft seit gestern wieder aus. Die RLF liegt kontant zwischen 43 und 48 %. Eine der Ladies ist im Vergleich bis jetzt kleiner, diese wird nun höher aufgestellt. Ein leichter Geruch macht sich breit.... ich hoffe die Damen wachsen noch ca. 20-25 cm.

Tessa her first flower week after light change a week ago is being a lot. She had a great stretch a lot of new flower starts und she become a lot fungus gnats. That‘s why I place more yellow tabs. Hopefully it help‘s? And in my few, Tessa her Green is more Dark and powerful. Hope you enjoy the grow with Tessa and give her a Follow for the Channel to support her 👀😉🤗.
