Glad it worked out for you
Leaves are getting bigger, height is still keeping low thankfully, they are under a 75W equivalent flouro. I like using flouros for seedlings, you dont have to worry about the heat if they get to close. The front 2 are performing the best atm it seems, and look like they have more of the Big Bang in them than the Big Nosed Kate from the broader leaf shape, which is what I was hoping for, the BNK was more of a sativa day smoke.
Temps have been a steady 77F with RH at 55% this week. Might drop the temps a couple of degrees now they are getting bigger.
Thanks for the invite
I’ll be lurking in the background
2 weeks from hatching now and they seem to be going strong. Not much height gain but they are on the 4th and starting 5th node leaves now. I might use 3 instead of 2 plants, to fill the scrog net quicker when it goes on.
Need to get that light made up asap lol.
Pulled a light apart yesterday and made a quick wooden frame to mount the 10 strips on.
All mounted up on the ceiling of the seedling cab, and had a general wire tidy up. Just going to run it on the lowest setting on the dimmer for the moment, hopefully having the 150W driver in the cab as well, will cut down on the heater use during lights on. 33 inches of clearance from the top of the pot to the light. So hoping there will be enough height to avoid any light burn, I can usually get to 18 inches canopy height below the lights before I get problems, so I have about 15 inches to play with on plant height. If I keep the scrog net at 6 inches above the pot I have 9 inches for the plant to stretch and bud. I think its going to be close lol.
Well today I got my licence renewed for medical growing. It was an interesting conversation, reading between the lines.
I think he wanted to lower my plant count, but I told him I use 500 miligrams of CBD infused into oil, and about the same for THC a day. Plus half a gram of dry bud in the vape a night, before bed time, to knock me out.
I said, I tend to grow 20 plants at a time a couple of times a year to keep the electric costs down. He seemed more happy about it then, but I think health Canada is pushing for lower numbers where they can reduce them.
Me to Health Canada about this topic:
Yeah I agree with your sentiments, but I had to be polite, as the service is free lol.
Yeah, I went with the lowest one they had through the place I got mine which is 25 plants. There are some with ridiculous plant counts out there so not surprised they have been cracking down. Hopefully it doesn’t get too bad. Congrats on the renewal Got to do mine in a couple months.
Cheers man,
He kept asking if my condition was getting better, and if any surgery was planned in the future to help with the pain. I told him not if I can help it lol, the scarey surgery is my last resort when all else fails.
The thing is if I wanted to make money I would not be doing it with weed, it would be selling the opiates that my family doc keeps asking me if I want, that I can get on my health insurance, instead of paying for everything to grow weed.
Then just grow my 4 rec plants in a perpetual harvest of 1 plant every 2 to 3 weeks, that I am allowed, without all the bullshit that goes with a medical license.
Well checked the plants after a busy weekend with my daughter who came back from BC Thursday night and flew out to Cuba yesterday lunchtime, so jealous getting away from the freezing ass cold lol.
They are growing fast, I tried to move one and its roots were through the party cup and into the big pot, so I have transplanted them yesterday afternoon, they are a bit droopy as they all had roots into the big pot that got torn off, even with trying to get them out gently
I am using the 3 smaller ones as they seem to be growing at the same speed, the larger one is going to be a light strength tester, remaining 3 or 4 inches above the others for a light burn early warning system
They all got fimmed today, and the bending will follow soon to get the lower side branches out asap.
Cheers for looking.
That’s one way to test ppfd
Plants are now bent got some side branch action since I fimmed them but didn’t do a good job so topped them today. They are staked down now.
Temps have been a stead 75F and RH has been up and down between 50% and 60% they are doing good atm but look like they may be getting hungry since the re plant, should bounce back once they settle in more.
Plants doing well, the lower leaves that were looking pale after transplanting have got some color back in them, apart from the first 2 leaves. Having to add some wet perlite in breathable cloth bags to up the humidity. It dropped a couple of days ago to just 13% back up to 27% atm. I dont want to over water them just to get the humidity back up in the 50’s. See how it works might get a small fog machine as I can use it for my mushrooms as well. Found some netting I use for sweet pea trellis, the squares are only an inch wide so we will see if that’s good enough to grow through. Lights are now maxed out on full power.
]Raised the light tester plant to where I hope they will stop growing, before they reach this point.
I like the hanging solo cup looks like your plant training is going well.
Still working on your character, I’m sure your aware it can be difficult to be artistic without focus.
Yep I don’t even bother trying if I am not in the mood to do it. It makes it hard when you have a paying customer who wants it done quickly lol.
Looks good so far man cheers.
Turned the light down again today to 60% the test plant was dying that close, I turned up the temps in an effort to stop the exhaust fan from running constantly and lowering the humidity on Friday. Yesterday they were all suffering the plants in the big pot have some nutrient burn from more water uptake due to the low humidity and the soil may be hot as well. The tester plant I have now up potted I may just flower her out as well. In the brown bag is some mushroom spore jars developing.
Saturday they looked like this.
Today the tester is looking better and the 3 in the big pot are no longer tacoing up as much.
So I will keep them at about 75F now and just keep topping up the water in the pot with the kitchen roll as a wick in front of the heater. Humidity was back up to 50% today but its raining outside so that will help.
Cheers.
Looking good dude. I love my solo cup bud. I like to throw random beans just to pheno hunt through em. I “found” a seed, planted it, and it turned out great. Has like a Tropical fruity taste.
Watcha got in there? That a 5gal pot?. Good work bud. Keep em watered and you should have some sweet dope. Be safe main. I’ll be back…
Hi man, good to see you back, they are a x of big bang and big nosed kate. The pot is a 10 gal with the sides folded down so probably about 6 gal.
Woooow. The BNK and Doc Holiday was smoking. I couldn’t believe how frosty those Cindy crosses get. I believe some molded on him when he was running that cross.
I don’t like tweaky grass, but everything is a poly hybrid so what’s a sativa plant originally and may genetically lean that way they but have heavy indica effects. I like your style shade dawg. You grow in trash bags. That just blew me away. Be safe bud.
