Grow Timeline (60 updates)
Topped again, and added 1/3rd dose of strive nutrients. Pics are last night then this morning.
You like strive?
I must say, I am enjoying the topping experience so far. 3-5 days, and I'm topping to 16 mains and maybe minor defoliation.
The plant looks a little crowded, but I think I will top for the last time today. Worse case scenario is I remove a few shoots and take it down to 28-30 tops. Last grow I had 2 plants and 32 tops. With the new D12 dehumidifier from vivosun, I am not as worried about humidity spikes.
I am done topping, now shaping over the next 1-2 weeks, switch to vertical growth, then flip. With any luck I will flip around 50 days of veg. I increased my nutrients to 2/3rds dose at 2700 ppm in 1 gallon. Let's see how she handles that. I am going to have to increase the water in 1 or 2 cycles.
Nutes last night at 2/3rds one more time. 2300 ppm at 6.15 ph. This can be an art form for sure. She is still very healthy, now red flags so far, at all. I really an dig
ging this Strive 2 part system. Next week I will increase to full strength. And do that for 3 rounds, with water in between. Please if anyone has anything they see that I do not feel free to let me know.
From final top through 2 weeks of veg, I flushed at the end of video to break up the salts. She brighten up and growing very fast. I removed the clips this morning and will be applying my first pre-flower scrog net. Flipping when she spreads a little.
Plant is 17" tall, mostly trimmed, and I looking to flip when she is 20-22". Fed again today at full strength, 3000 ppm at 6.2ph. 5 liters total, mild runoff. Not concerned about the runoff numbers because she looks healthy. This is where is starts to get interesting. My manifold is looking crazy
12 day time lapse, watered yesterday morning, 5 liters of dechlorinated tap water at 6.2ph.
10 weeks, I was just asking around how many weeks for a larger plant. How big do you think she'll get?
I have topped this one a bunch. I am hoping she makes it to 46-48 inches. Probably more like 40-44 though. This many toppings takes a lot of time.
Yah, I mainlined the hydro and am growing up all the inner stems. I want it to fill my 3x3 just for shits and giggles. She's week 10 and no more and a foot cubed. I'm thinking the next 2-3;weeks I'll let her grow up then let her back out again before flipping.
My current feeding cadence is water, feed, water, feed, water. I am giving her full strength strive @ 3000 ppm, ph at 6.4. She is currently 28" at 11 days into flower. I will be removing about 10% of the inside fan leaves in the next couple days. My light is at 68% and I am stepping it up a little bit more in 3-4 days.
I got to sample the pieces from the day 21 defoliation, and I think this one is my best so far. Raised the watering to 2 gallons. Spread out the plant one last time, slowly reducing the rh to as low as I can get by week 7 of flower. Timelapse is from day 14 to day 28 of flower.
Those short time lapse videos are so satisfying aren't they. Really makes you know they alive.
I have the entire grow timelapsed, this is my first grow with a weed cam. I think the 1 hr interval is best.
I've been looking at the AC Infinity camera myself. Add it to the bucket list
Yeah, I saw that camera, it looks super nice. I probably would try the AC infinity if I was getting another camera.
I got nedt cameras but they don't do time lapse. I can make sure my cannabis is still cannabising when I want.
Everything is looking good, my runoff ppm is lowering nicely. Buds are swelling.
I was feeding her super hot, her soil was buffered pretty high. It's down to 2100ppm, still high, but that's down from about 3k. She was handling it, slight tip burn. But lots of trichomes.
Thank you, I like to go with the theory, I can always do better. I am currently trying to achieve my 2 plant numbers with the one. Possible but not likely
Still waiting, lowering the light intensity and nutrients a little at a time. This seems like the longest part of the grow. I am still seeing bulking day to day.
Night view. Almost to the end, checking trichomes in about 5-6 days.
Nothing like getting flashed in the eyes while your 😴 😂
I think she is fine, night pictures do not hurt them, it's like less than 5 seconds with a flash that's well less than 100ppfd. Most buds advertising pictures are in the dark.
She will, I do the same thing. Was thing about doing it to my wife. 😂 Night pic 📸
When did you top it
Day 20-21
Thanks
