Today’s feed was at EC 1.4 PH6 mainly as one OT x Blues showed some clawing on the tops , all others seem ok so far . HLG Diablo is definitely an improvement over the SCOPEX strips I had before even though the V2 did a good job for that time .
It also occurred to me all light readings are not done with a planted room , it would be good to see on top and bellow readings . This would help show whose lights penetrate better than others etc .
evening arthur little cheeky question do you take cuts of ya plants?
only im having a rite arse ache trying to get any OT or blues in seed form
have seeds i could trade for cuts if ya interested
Funny you should ask as I’ve just potted the cuts up . I take them start of week two of flower. As for sharing it’s difficult as not legal here. I assume you in the uk ? I also only have six or so left that I intend to keep a male from and might try making some more but I’ve not done that yet lol. There is someone working Smile and Celia irc elsewhere and should be about next year or so.
no problem mate i fully get it on the difficulty just a cheeky shot in the dark
very very interested in the smile and celia used to have a beautiful smile mum way back (lost to the borg )
yeah i am uk worse luck
sorry ill stop the drivel and get back to watching the show
Day 36 feeds at EC 1.4 PH6 OT x B4 seems a bit sensitive to nutrients. @Claude the Strawberry AK47 glad I took cuts she smells lovely and looks quite productive for a small height plant .
hello mate quick ? do you use RO water or filtered what is the EC of your water to start with?
just tryin to get my head round my tap water it goes all over the place and starts at about an EC of 450 (city water full of shit)
If it’s from tap it’s around EC .5 max sometimes I use aquarium water as I have a huge aquarium. I did use r/o years ago but it’s quite wasteful imho. I’m also city water the big smoke so it varies a bit
cheers man yeah sorry i meant ppm 450 but my EC is already 1.6 its bonkers used to live in the country totally kettle of fish what it all this shit in water
Another weeks passed and all seems well apart from OT x Blues they needed much less feed than the others . The strawberry Ak47 is short squat and colas glad I kept a cut. The Ganesh spirit is also doing well. Feeds been at EC 1.4 ph6 for a while now . Lights still at 330w and doing a great job
Day 58 The Ganesh Spirit and the Strawberry Ak47 have been hung , then de stalked waiting to final trim if I cba . Lost a bit to rot the weather in uk last few weeks has been extremely testing humidity wise . The four OT x Blues are doing ok shame I had over fed , forgot some plants are very light feeders . I’m sure when I run them again all will be ok
Since I stopped testing for the scopex lot for various reasons of electrical safety I then decided to buy the HLG Diablo350r the difference in quality of material compared to yet another cheap Chinese oem light .
Just a shame I fucked up the feed levels even so I think the Diablo boards are more suited to me over strips yields still ok .
64 days have passed three of the Oldtimes X Blues could do with another week or so. That’s not happening as the humid weather wise has been high , lost a few buds from Strawberry Ak47 and Ganesh to the rot nout to do but chop early. I’ve not seen any on the OT x B plants but all the ingredients are there .
The HLG Diablo350r seems to have done a great job of I’d got the feeds correct it prob would have produced better.
Few pics of flowers from the OT x B
Some of you may Know or have heard of Oldtimer1 aka OT1 he could do with positive thoughts at the moment. He had quite a bad stroke and is in hospital recovering etc.
OT x B2
Good stuff man. What’s the closest you got your light to the canopy in flower? 19-20” seems to be the recipe in my case, but tolerance can vary across strain. I’m pleased with the 350R as well.
Around six to eight inches at the closest flowers as can be seen in last diary update pre chop. The circulation fans are six inch for comparison. They are a good light imho.
afternoon mate holy shit that is some sad news about OT1 massive positive thoughts go out to him and all his family
the guy is a real legend
dont go on 420 anymore hadnt heard
man i hope he is gonna be ok
