Brazilian Ganja Indoor Cultivation - Space's Living No-Till Diary #2

The plants are very well, giving a little praise. Tent one looks beautiful! With a nice green, they all are actually, but from the photos they look better.

The quantum board on tent 1 uses 6500K chips only, so it’s a bluer light, it looks better in the pictures, while tent 2 and tent 3 is a mix of 3000K and 3500K.So they look a little yellower than in real life

Hello guys ! :cowboy_hat_face:
I have just taken some clones from the girls, I intend to change the photoperiod on Sunday and clean the lower branches, remove the descennessary leaves that are covering branches and tops.

I didn’t take many clones, maybe on Sunday during the cleaning I’ll take some more. Some plants were a little small so there are some small clones, but hopefully they root too.

I use 6500ppm indolebutyric acid as a root growth stimulator, I like to mix it with a little water until it turns into a paste, I feel it sticks and they absorb better than using only the powder. I don’t know :rofl:

Always before cloning I clean all the table, the cloning cabin and all the stuff too, I think it’s the most important part of growing and it’s usually overlooked. Anyway, in a few days I hope to have some good results to show.

As lighting I just use this normal 40W 6500K house lamp, it always works well.

Good Saturday guys!
Today I did a defoliation here on the girls, I took about 20 more clones, the same way.

Below are some photos from today’s adventure:





I also decided to take some clones of my favorite male as I’m thinking about keeping him, it might be good for the future. The male clones (which also have a lot of balls) I left in a separate place.

In fact, he’s already shedding some pollen, even before 12/12, I think because he’s too old. So I’m already taking some precautions when going from one growroom to another. Tomorrow is the big day, I will change the photoperiod, I was going to change it today, but as I took a lot of leaves and branches I decided to give the girls a day of rest.


They should be stretching a lot soon. I’ve been wondering a lot about using the 11/13 photoperiod. What are your thoughts on it?

Electricity bill savings, shorter flowering period and maybe less harvest, better read the whole thread:

Seems you’ve got everything under control, nice looking plants … beer3|nullxnull

What are the natural daylight hours presently in Brasil, 11 hours?

I don’t have anything more factual than the topic on light cycles, but 11/13 seems like a natural choice.

So I’m 22° south latitude and 43° west longitude
I’m not very experienced with this sort of thing, but as far as I know here we always have less than 13 hours of day light and always above 10:45 hours a day.

January (summer): 12:15 hours
February (summer): 12 hours
March (summer): 12:15 hours
April (Autumn): 11:30 hours
May (Autumn): 11 hours
June (Autumn): 10:30 hours
July (Winter): 10:45 hours
August (Winter): 11:15 hours
September (Spring): 12 hours
October (Spring): 12 hours
November (Spring): 12:30 hours
December (summer): 12:15 hours

Very busy day here

Just build mine DIY Male Isolation Chamber. It is a little tight there :rofl:
It is a little messy right now, but I’m working on it.I just wanted to finish as soon as possible to avoid pollen in my entire house.




There’s a passive air intake with a AC Carbon filter on this 56L Box and a active air outake with a very big carbon filter

My main male is too big for this little cabin, possibly I’ll have to cut him well so he doesn’t get too tight. . I’m not so sorry I have to cut it a lot, as the females I intend to use to cross are still in the cloning stage (the clones I took), so until they root and grow enough to be ready to receive pollen, the male will have plenty of time to recover.

The light still goes well, I want to do a possible PPFD test, to compare the amount of light the plastic keeps from passing, but I believe it’s passing enough

My next males will also use a smaller pot, currently they are 1.2L but I think I should use something similar to 300 or 400mL in the next one, to prevent them from growing so much.

At the time of mating I intended to put the females in there too, but it seems like it got a little tight, or I’ll have to use very small plants.

My pots didn’t help me much either, I need more square pots.

Anyway, I’ll think about what to do in the meantime.

What fertilizer you use?

I dont use any fertilizer.
All the macro and micro nutrients are on the Soil. I just use probiotcs and let the things work out alone. I use IMO, EM-1, Biosinphony, FAA, LAB’s and some others bacterias.and fungi. When this cycle is done I usualy top dress the soil with rock dust, neem meal and others amendments. Also organic aerated teas.

But no fertilizer.
