You’re right on what you say, you should fluctuate pH so the plants are able to assimilate different nutes, here’s the range for all:
Gave 'em 2.5 EC 6.4 pH this morning. Soil pH was a bit higher than I need, so I guess 6.4 pH should do the work. Going to handle like 6.6-6.8 after all
Left one still sleeping. Come on wakie wakie! Don’t you wanna start flowering, silly? It’s not flowering, its slowering!!!
Right one already on track. and already look like a week 1 plant
I don’t know. It seems that they have too way different flowering cycles, should I count days for them separately? I think left one would need another week to actually begin forming buds
I never count days and trust info from seed banks, they always give you less flowering period: when they’re done, they’re done .
Harvesting separately will give you less stress, not a bad thing at all, they’re looking great …
I pour 2.2-2.5 EC / 6.6 pH every morning, and I get like 0.3-0.4 EC from the run-off when I do watering. Does that mean that the plant eat up almost the whole thing?
Previously, I have been feeding like 1 day feeding next day watering. But as I can see, it’s almost empty on the second day, so I’m afraid it can slow down until I feed it once again. That makes me feed it two times on the second day, so it dont fall too much.
Should I increase the EC level, or maybe just feed it every single time, but with lower ECs?
The left plant seems woken up, I can see it started lengthen the pistils, but very slowly. Right one already got small tight buds, and perfectly continue flowering
In general, all seems good as for now
Flowering third week (15 days)
Right goes pretty fast I think it is very short flowering!!
no more comments for today. it just goes. and it goes well, can’t notice any major problems
also. the scrog. should I pull it up?
when should I enable uv and ir switches on my light? i thought its somewhere in the mid flowering or so?
That’s right, they do like what you’ve giving them, I see some brown tips, check if they look burnt and slow down a bit if so. You can switch on those extra lights …
I got a new upgrade, got me two fans to mix up the air inside the tent, by kindly advice from @MissinBissin !
I feel it got way better inside now
Overall is good, i’m trying to keep everything at 6.7 pH, the left plant eats less then the right one, and thats fair enough, judging by the flowering phase of the each one. I started slowly reducing amount nitrgogen applied to the right one
There is some purple leaves, i gotta watch after that, not sure why is that, it happens on some leaves on both plants, might be an afteraffect after turning up ir / uv on my lights.
Congrats on moving all that Heat out of the way!
Ok guys I think I can imagine the outcome product already, i think it will be shit.
at least will have some to smoke until the next harvest anyway. but i need best.
I don’t really like the right one, the buds seems light and i can’t really see a lot of thc. I guess it will be something a mid range buds.
I like how left one began though. getting frosty even in the beggining, i think this pheno has some potential. But I fucked it up once again with an overfeeding, got burnt pistils all over the top buds (already fixed it). Well, we will see
I’m going to start a new grow just right after and try once again
Right one looks like is finishing, i think 2 weeks and we’ll see when they are going to be finally ready
Looks real nice man. Sucks your thinking it will be shit. I hope not.
A little nute burn shouldn’t hurt too bad.
IMHO if you’re not satisfied with the yield even after all your attention to detail I’d suggest looking at some more watts.
nah, i think i’m at the limits in the current tent. its 120cmx60cmx180cm, which is about 0.7m2. i think 350w is like a bit higher than optimal, and stronger light would be harder to fit without proper vents, and stuff, and I actually don’t think there is a need for that. i think 350w led is just perfect here. its just the grow has to be more efficient. I’ve heard people making 2gr/w under the led
and actually i don’t really care about the yield, rather than an actual bud quality. i need straight gas, because i’m tired of smoking bum weed which i can’t even put in a joint (thats what you usually get here from the dealers)
i have quite tolerance as i’m constant smoker, and regular weed just don’t hit me. 90% weed out here is like that. sometimes i can even see the exact mistakes of the grow of particular bud when i get it in my hands lol
i’ve been in other places and smoked high grade weed. there is a quite difference. i really would like to repeat it. i just. seen pics with buds full of foken crystals. uknowwhat i mean?
and yeah, i actually like overreacting, i know it will be good. for sure better than anything here, but its i just like to be ready for worst case, hoping for a best. so if it will actually be good, then it creates some sort of contrast, when you already believed its the worse
Ahh that makes sense. I was wondering why you have been so meticulous. That’s cool. I’m hanging around to see the
don’t worry about the purple leaves, it usually just means the plants are ripening. many indicas get some purple color as the leaves fade when the plant puts all its energy into bud growth.
If the purple is a reaction to your lighting, that’s also ok because it’s not stress or leaf burn.
The right plant, I think is already finishing and I think I missed the ripening stage, I wanted to feed it with GHE Ripen, but in the mess I forgot to buy it, it will only come to me today. I was trying to feed grow / bloom solutions last week with a way lesser micro (nitrogen) dosage.
The plant reacted to it pretty quickly and turnt into yellow, but for now only big fan leaves, i can see that bud small leaves are still dark green.
The trichomes on the buds is finally fruiting, the buds started weight much more, some lower stems even fall under its weight. The color of the trichomes is getting amber, so I think I should start flushing process.
I am going to feed it like last time, and then i’ll keep giving it a tap water for a week or two, and then hopefully cut it.
What about left one, I feel like it is in the late bloom phase, that means I will be able to play around with GHE Ripen on this one. This crop looks way more potent than a right one, at least I can see that by the dense of the upcoming buds and amount of trichome on it. I like this strain.
