howmany Watt is it on each side?
80-100w on the right, less on the left atm, removed my watt meter and just sharpied approx switch location vs wattage on the back wall
Day 46/14/7
Tiring week so far work wise with being on call and having to work a couple night apart from my normal days, plus the kiddo doing awesome though tiring regardless, plus crummy weather which typically is an energy sap to a degree.
Plants wise things are also moving along, the older plants the Dark Spark in the back right “pretty obvious” i don’t think has much left in it as far as more growth goes, likely will just start to foxtail over the next week if it gets a second burst. Front right is still a crappy plant but ill run it out and just press some of the buds from it. As for the other two they are doing well.
Smaller plants yup they growing, and have some seedling hopefully popping up in a couple days.
Day 49/17/0
Right hand plants and bulking out the back purple one is gonna be first done.
Left hand plants keeping the two on the left with the back being tossed, one a male and another exhibiting some detrimental growth traits, front youngens are some of Reiko’s 4 out of 5 popped up with the remaining possibly just burred too deep.
Day 53/21/4
Finally got the middle ages ones hooked up on autowaters, little ones 4 out of 5 made it and we will see which ones are males, and the old one most are finishing out with them consuming their leaves even though they have plenty feed wise which im not saying didnt start when they went on the higher EC and dry side for a day or two so i may switch out the next res with a low feed but on par calcium fill for the plants that remain at that point and just run them out.
And i should get some more seeds started.
Day 56/24/7
Right side, far right two plants are done and ill chop them at some point today or tomorrow, the other two on that side still need a little time. As for the mid age plants they are stretching and the young ones are getting bigger, also should get some more seeds going in the next day or two.
Some things i need to consider once i chop the older plants and take a look at their roots is whether i should go back to straight coco as the perlite does allow them to dry out quicker but same time roots dont touch the areas where the perlite is, or stick with it but maybe either upsize the pot volume and or plant count per chamber as im looking to go back to having the plants fight when training techniques and or forced growth stumbles will be used to keep them in check.
Day 58/26/9
Chopped the two and moved the older ones over, got the little ones on water’s and also have some seed i should plant today and tomorrow.
Day 61/29/12
The the remaining old ones are ready to be chopped, likely will do it on the weekend, mid age plants i flopped the tops and they are stretching or well slowing down stretch wise back right is gonna have some purple hues which is unexpected for how it was looking up until now.
Left side @ReikoX 's autos two have shown to be male and i put them at the back but they will get pulled this weekend as well, and have 4 out of the seedling just up today which we will see if we get a couple more before the weekend which some i dont expect but you never know.
chopped the front plant then got busy with the kiddo needing my attention so will have to chop the back plant tomorrow.
“I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you damn kids.”
Day 33/16/3
Missed the weekend update, so here’s monday, chopped some plants, was able to bag “grove” the previous ones, removed the two males, up-potted the other two, lollipoped the older plants to a degree, and just have all the youngens on the one res with a bunch more seeds dunked last night.
Thats the quick condensed info update, just managing day by day at the moment, with work and being on call, kiddo doing her 4 month sleep regression as physiologically shes developing her own melatonin supply and has restless nights due to that and how quickly shes developing mentally, and being supportive of the ladys side of the family due to her grandma who’s 90+ and getting pneumonia putting her in the hospital so if and when that inevitable thing happens, just managing that too.
So plants chugging along still i call it a win.
I love your grow setup! It’s so clean and well thought out.
thank you, and has been mostly thought out but thats just from how many setups ive built.
Day 36/19/6
The old ones are flowering well at the moment front plant isn’t something i would normally keep just structure wise but no reason to turf the plant as nothing to fill that spot so it will run out, reikos autos are starting their stretch after the repot, and little ones doing little one things, plus buried a bunch of sprouted seeds in straight coco as you can see.
Also @saxo thanks for the coffee
Day 38/21/8/0
Older plants doing well back one smelling nice and going dark, came upon one of the nozzles missing the front pot this morning so had some water to clean up from under the reservoirs, other autos are packing on some size atm.
As for the little ones seedling seem happy in the straight coco, and with me looking at the roots in the coco/perlite plants they definitely look significantly under developed in the mix root wise, so this will be interesting to see with the freshies.
Day 42/25/12/4
Moving along, My aprea PH meter went bad, was fine then started reading high even after cleaning and such, reset it and now is a good 1.3ph too high and cant calibrate due to its internal software saying its out of range, so giving it a KCL soak, but mine had almost dried up plus my 7.0 calibration solution is done and i have no more vs what i have in my calibration vial, so we will see may be buying a new meter and or probe and the rest for it.
Had mixed up a bloom water fill to feed the older one but then meter read high when normally its within range to feed without adjustment so adjusted it low then was like wtf this doesnt make sense and referenced it seeing the meter was out, the tried to adjust using pH drops as back up reference but plants are getting a rough PH feed water for the older ones, here i out i know they are usually in range so im not gonna pH adjust or look till anew meter or mines working again.
Run off res was on the blooming plants was 6.0ec but lowers were yellowing on the one plant with some spotting so i knew something was up just was low priority.
Also couple males showed and removed some week plants, gonna go to two plants on the far left but ill get to that.
Day 45/28/15/7
Right hand plants bulking up likely they wont be running to long past 8 weeks they just seem like they will be quicker finishers this go.
Reiko’s autos have been doing there stretch thing was considering fertilizer restriction to stunt them but they kinda looked like they had slowed down now and are going into flower mode.
Little ones on the left repotted to two pots plus kept the one male for now on the side likely i wont do anything with it but wasn’t ready to cull it just yet and wanted to see more growth from it.
And the freshies doing well, three out of them may get plucked just cause of leaf issues, one being the sporadic cell growth leafs others just having issues at start.
always a pleasure to peek in
Day 51/34/21/13
Pictures today as i wont be around on the weekend.
Flowering plants i moved over to the left chamber the smaller plant is basically done so i’ll be harvesting it after the weekend, the other still needs some time.
The mid plants i grouped into the same chamber that has the temp/humidity fan sensor, right hand side has been moved onto bloom feed while the left side still is on veg feed.
As for the little ones they are becoming not so little and i fired up the upper chamber to accommodate them, also took a look this morning and 5 out of the 10 are females the rest are undetermined, goal is ill reduce to 8 and possibly up pot them and split them up in between the cabinets once those flowering plants are chopped.
