Grow Timeline (24 updates)
I've had these lights on level 4, i should have checked ppfd rather than guessing. I have bumped to level 8, ppfd reading now is 190 at top canopy. Hopefully that stops the stretch. I will need to bury these bitches when i transplant in 20 days.
Moved plants into my small veg tent while my 3x3 tent is finishing. Plants are under a vs-1000, at 14 inches @ 50% (250 pofd). Im unable to control environment in this tent, the humidityis a bit lower than i would like it. Temps 76-80 and rh is 48-52%. I need these girls to hang on until i harvest the lilac diesel rbx2 in my 3x3 tent in 2-3 weeks..
For as bad as these ladies stretched, they have recovered nicely,top internode spacing has tightenedup. I will tranplant into 1 gallon fabric pots in the next few days, im waiting on more roots to take hold.
I have 10 more days until harvest, then 10 day to hang in my 3x3, i needed to get these out of starter pots. I usually go stright into a 7 gallon, but im pressed for room in this tiny tent. Transplanted into gia green living soil.
They seem to have bounced back fairly quick. My humidity is way to low, i have no control over environment until i havest my bigger tent. Temps 72-78, rh 50-55. No major signs of stress or deficiencies at this point. Ppfd 250 (for recovery) i will bump up too 300 in the next few days
1.5ml sticky bandit with 1.5 liters of water. Plants are looking good, tight nodes. Will move into 3x3 and transplant into 7 gallon, top and start quadlining as soon has last harvest is done drying.
Mixed in 1 cup down to earth gypsum and 6 qaurts perlite to 64 liters of gia green living soil, with 2 gallons water to premoisten soil for transplant.Each plant was heavily powered with great white and moved into 7gallon fabric grow bag... Plants have had aggressive growth. I will wait a few days for the plants to settle in before topping and training
Plants rebounded from transplant have are aggressively growing. Tight nodes, they are exploding with growth. Solid gentics here, very uniformed,first time running beans from this breeder. I will quadline these plants in the next day or 2. Plants were watered with recharge. Increased ppfd. DLI 34.5
Ended up keeping 3 nodes on each plant rather than 2. This is my first time training like this. I curious to see what results are better. I usually pull 10-12 ounces from my setup with my traditional practices. A growmie of mine said i should be pushing out closer to 1 lb if i quadline
Most of mine are 3 nodes, it can get pretty tight if you let the center grow up. Watch the inner temp which can cause them to herm.
Ive been hard on these girls the last 10 days with topping and heavy training. Ive been keeping them a bit thirsty also, i went with a full gallon this watering. Both plants took full gallon with zero runoff. Hands off these for the next week to help them reset.
Have you used any mammoth P ever J?
Each plant got 1 gallon water plus 0.8ml sticky bandit.. broke 2 big main lead tops off during training on right plant. Both plants have had explosive growth in the last 2 weeks, they have exellent node growth and spacing. I will top dress next water session and flip in about 10 days
Each plant was topdressed with 1/2 cup 2-8-4, 1/4 cup 4-4-4, with 2 cups worm casting, 1tbsp gypsum, 1tbsp fish bone meal.
Are this girl all organic?
Yes, no synthetic ferts, i feed the soil, not the plants. its what works for me
I'm assuming it's cheaper to?
Increased ppfd to 750.Canopy filling in even. The nutrients from the top dress 10+ days ago are becoming available to the plants, the left plants color has improved. These plants are on cruise control right now. Plants got 1 gallon water with recharge july 15th.
Nice grow!
I dont trust the meters and dobt trust the specs of the lights either i go by get low wattage light like 60 i keep em close like 6 inches max maybe even 4 its the heat that makes em burn so close low wattage will make it better if u look at my new ones u will see
