Growing With Mr.Sparkle : 2023

I’d say stick with regular silver mylar and or good reflective white options, blue mylar would have no benefit and regardless it’s just base silver with a blue coating on it so your just being selective in what you reflect in that case.

Home sick today and have barely moved off the couch which is rarity, didn’t grab a pic for yesterday but got one for today.

Yesterday doing some lower leaf and larf clean up it progress to me culling a lot of the plants, whether just some not growing how id like them, current smell on some being bad, and all the f2 ogreberries having manageable lower nodal pollen sacs.

So plants that remain are the Purple Wookie and Centripetal Force (mimosa x mac1) both being photoperiods on the right side, and the two best growing ogreberrys on the left, plan is to just flip the whole chamber to flower this week sometime.

Also got some auto seeds started last night a couple crosses from @chronix , will be starting some other random autos probably next week or something, jsut working a cabinet at a time.

Back at work today, even though i dont want to be here mind you thats kinda normal lol.

Weird one scratched my eye sunday night, and likely picked up some sinus thing either from my nephews or at the public pool we went to on Saturday, and seeing how close and connected ones sinus’s and eyes are, got inflamed possibly infected plus the sinus thing which caused my body to throw a fever liking being so close to the brain so just my body trying to knock it back in a hurry.

Needless to say not fun.

Plant wise plants were more drooping this morning like @Rabeats2093 noticed, watering cycle was a bit too heavy for these plants and their recycled media, so adjusted the watering duration and will be pushing their next watering event out a day or two so they can dry a bit.

I just switched mediums and light…
It’s like a whole new learning curve for me …
…also trying to reveg clones in some solo cups…
How long can they last till they r root bound .do they need bigger pots ?

That’s almost like everyday for me haha …I tell my alarm clock " alright stfu its to early " on the daily haha

I’m finally realizing the younger plants deff like to dry out fully before getting watered …certain amount of water according to size…clear cups r pretty neat to watch if you can keep the alagee at bay

root bound is inevitable with my size growing by the end i have root pucks, with my two sizes of pots i use i can typically see a difference between them come week 2 - 2.5, typically as soon as that tap root hits bottom and has time to search around a bit it slows up, smaller the pot faster it happens, but if i don’t limit rootspace then im fighting the other battle in the plants becoming too big for the space.

Day 0F/0

Upper chamber over the last bit was stressed out looking heat/light/water related so i lower the light levels and lowered the watering amount and changed my fans heat setpoint a couple degrees, the plants came back after doing so, last night i realize i just had my light on 24/7 which would of been that way at least for 2-3days or more… so no idea, anyways flipped them to flower starting this morning.

Also have 8 autos just above ground this morning too.

Day 4F/4

The top cab is having some issues with the time released fertilizer, runoff goes high ec and looks like its having some deficiencies, the autos in here ive just given up on cause now they are stunted, and kinda ll comes back to the mix their in being an issue, on the other hand the Purple Wookie is just carrying on, half considering up potting it to a bin or something and maybe just let it have free reign in the chamber and then going back to a generic feed watering.

As for the young ones, finally got around to shining up the lids which keeps the res cooler at at this stage increases the light efficiency by 10% with reflectance. Still need to decide on some seeds to start but just half recovering from my sinus infection now.

Day 7F/7

Decided to throw some feed at the top cab with the time released fertilizer just not quite cutting it obviously, took a look at the roots yesterday and the autos are doing the best in that department just think cause they have been running drier with this water log prone recycled stuff, saying that reapply contemplating up potting the purple wookie “back right” to a small bin or something and letting her go and ditching the autos, might as well favour whats running the best is my thought.

The new autos are moving along with the one runt “likely tap root issue” now starting to grow past its issues, been just hand watering with feed water with some run off every couple days. Also have some seeds to plant today a couple of which i helped yesterday cracking shells which i didn’t expect much from but they had tails this morning.

Also doing some light swaps went back to the f90’s in the lower chamber and gonna pull the MH TS1000 out as well it works well just wanna run my f90’s.
