Grow Timeline (40 updates)
-All plants looking healthy. -Watered with root growth solution.
-Hope to see explosive root growth the next 5-7 days.
-Took off heat pad.
I can’t wait to up pot them! Shooting for December 5th-10th
All are pretty much the same size. one of the headband 99 is a wee bit smaller. excited to see the roots start going crazy so I can up pot them into their final homes & start giving them nutrients!
Only watered seedlings, 2gal pots need another 2 days dry back.
Turned up 260w LED to 50% as the 3 plants farther along are ready for more light.
Photone app:
DLI: 18//PPFD: 290
PPFD Meter app:
DLI: 24//PPFD: 380
Avg PPFD: 335
Avg DLI: 21
Fed the x3 older plants as they looked a bit hungry (light green, lightly yellowing lower leaves on the headband)
Just ordered a new humidifier with VPD controls, so the environment will be better dialed in 4 days
U having a cal mag issue in the middle that or root bound
To big of pot to plant not root bound probably cal mag
-Dialed the lights back from 50% to 25% as the three older plants were looking hungry & slightly yellowed.
-Removed humidifier for now (new VPD controlled model will be here in 3 days)
- Will keep light low for a few days to let plants recover from slight shock & uptake nutrients.
- will turn light back to 50% & kick off veg for real in 3-4 days.
- Planning on 3-5 weeks veg, until 5 plants have roughly 1/2 of the headspace left below the light.
Excited to see the yield of this new 260w light! Aiming for .8-1.4g per watt (200-350g)
Decided to turn the lights up today instead of waiting 2-3 more days. Plants look noticeably healthier after finally feeding them. Slightly yellowed leaves are returning to a healthier, darker shade of green. New humidifier here in 2-3 days
Plants looking good.
- Currently on 5 day water/dryback cycle, feeding veg nutes & CalMag
- 3 older plants starting to recover from topping, all node sites have visibly doubled & are reaching for light
- put in x2 scrog nets, will be training plants to fill first frame in the next 2-3 weeks then will trim back to main branches & flip once first screen is full & plants are all relatively the same height.
- next run I will start more seeds to cull back to 5 solid seedlings at the same age to avoid the 2.5 week lull I’ve had to let the new seedlings catch up.
- thinking that 200-300 grams is a realistic target for final harvest weight. Hoping for 1-1.4g per watt & appear to be on target w/ plant health
- Plants looking healthy
- new strains (sundae driver x purple punch, lemon tree x purple punch) are catching up to the older 3 plants.
- Gpa’s stash: 10in each
- headband 99: 9in
- purple crash: 6in
- lemon tree punch: 5in
- watered each plant w/ 1000ml of light veg mix (2tsp each Jacks, CalMag & 10ml mammoth in 2gal).
- 6.3 ph out of the faucet so no need to adjust
- taller plants are 3in from scrog net
- plants are adjusted to 4 day dryback
- 7-14 days until flipping i’d wager
- defol fan leaves for older 3
- topped younger 2
- light LST
- light watering
- VPD to 1.2
Flipping once I can fill scrog net
They look like they may be lacking in nitrogen. Make sure you have a complete healthy plant before flipping for the best outcome. Happy growing🤟🏿
- watered/fed
- plants look super happy. Roots & mycorrhiza coming out of bottoms of pots
- defoliated pre watering
- VPD/PPFD all in line
- debating flipping to flower tonight or waiting a few more days
- lemon tree punch is about 2-3in shorter
- lemon tree punch is about 3in shorter than the rest. Might have to put a spacer under for flower
- Scrog net filling up, will be flipppng to flower by 1/15
- everything responding to LST/HST & all plants are multi topped bush
- lightly training through net. Every plant is at the net besides Lemon Tree Punch (less than 2in away)
- put a 1in spacer underneath Lemon Tree Punch. Might raise it again if it doesn’t start to catch up
- going to veg for another week at most. Will be flipping once lemon tree punch is at the Scrog net
- defoliated every plant, lower node sites & fan leaves. Keeping 1-4 nodes per branch.
- aiming for a complete strip below the net before flipping
- only have 27in of vertical space above the first net
- will be adjusting 2nd net to around 15in above 2nd net
- hoppng the top colas will be between 15-6in below lights after stretch. Never grown any of these strains before
Got excited & switched to flower! Everything is either just past the net or at the net.
- did a defol/core trim yesterday
- trained into the net
- fed yesterday
Can’t wait to see these girls stretch & fatten up!
- net filling up nicely
- plants have visibly grown a few inches in the last few days
- going to let them go with no defo until week 3
- lemon tree punch is at net level now, will keep it on a 1.5in riser through flower
- 60ish more days until chop
- everything is filling out the net nicely
- should easily be at second net by day 21 defoliation
- everything looking healthy
- one of the Grandpas stash is showing the tiniest leaf tip burn so I think I’m nailing the nutes
- they’re still on a 4-5 day dryback period for now
- canopy is looking stellar. First week of flower going great
- raised up lemon tree punch even higher so canopy is even
- 4 day dryback still
- VPD raised to 1.3-1.4
- will start to change nutrients in the next several waterings to full bloom nutes
- decided to defo today to open up more bud sites to light.
- won’t be pruning lower/thin/larf branches until week 3 & will be doing another defoliation
- canopy looking full. Lemon tree punch looks like it’s going to stay the shortest, grandpas stash/purple crash similar stretch & headband 99 in the middle
- roughly 1.5 months left, should be chopping between march 15th-21st
💪
Stoked on the progress. Grandpa’s stash, Headband 99 & lemon tree punch all around the same in bud development, purple crash is a bit behind. Maybe a week
- looking great for day 21
- watered, fed, defo/core trim
- 5ish more weeks. Grandpas stash will probably be ready around 7ish weeks, headband/lemon tree around week 8, purple crash around week 9
- seems to be a bit uneven under light; measuring 50-70ppfd difference from left to right side @ same height. Could be the app I’m using as well
- next time will maybe wait to scrog until week 3 so I can do a core trim/defo out of the tent
- plants looking very healthy
- plants drinking a little quicker, 4-5 day dryback seems to be the max. Could handle 3 days
- buds looking for for day 25
- grandpas stash looks to be on track to finish first, followed by Headband & lemon tree, purple crash last
- grandpas stash looks about 1-2 weeks ahead of purple crash
- 40-45 more days at most!
- lemon tree punch got pretty light burnt over the last few days.
- took out riser & lowered lemon tree by 5in
- turns done light to 75%
- 20 days left in flower & I think the lemon tree is going to be made into hash as will the purple crash.
- grandpas stash & headband 99 looking good
- will be switching to smaller pots for the next run & shorter veg time
- I think after next run I’ll have this light & micro space fully figured out
- flushed all 5 plants with around 4-5 gal of water
- lowered light from 100% to 75%
- medium core trim/defo. Removed two upper colas that were at light level & bleaching/slight revel
- this grow is starting to get a little off the rails with the two purple punch phenos, but grandpas stash & headband 99 look fine. Going to cut feeding back & try to get across the finish line with no more problems
Pics?
Just updated
Plants started to get light burnt on all top colas. Decided to chop on day 50 & make room for the next run. I vegged this round for too long & they got too close to the lights. Hoping I can dial in this tiny grow space next round. Thinking 1-2 weeks veg instead of 5 & switching to 1gal pots over 2gal. Going to do a micro SOG next time instead of topping & scrogging
what size is the big pots that the lil 1s in
Just asking cuz that's a tight squeeze and I'm thinking if you can fit 4 in 2x2 this 2x4 I have should fit 2 more maybe even 3 😁
2gal pots; you can fit quite a few in a 2x4
yeah I got 1g 3g and 5g pots
