My 2nd Grow: 4x4 tent in garage, 7 seeds of Skunk

[Zspy1985]

Temps/RH under control:


After some LSTing on my middle Skunk 2 it seems shes taking to it very well! One of the lowest colas has now caught up with the main cola.


Some tucking.

Just realized after reading my own journal....2 of the 3 Heavyweight strains are Fast and Vast and the 3rd is a 2 Fast 2 Vast version that has been breed with Northern Lights.

Wonder which one she is...LOL

Day 39 from seed 1/12/15 Leaf Tucking and tie downs

Not sure which one is the 2Fast2Vast but all 3 are looking amazing with so many bud sites!! Depending on how they turn out I might end up getting more of the strain.

Also did some more usual daily leaf tucking and ended up fixing the backwards pull on the Skunk 2. Shes now being pulled away from the light and allowing other colas to peak. Pictures will be taken and posted when I get home....had to take the wifes car to charge.

Also as a side note I realized that Skunk 3 is not budding yet! Pistils here and there but no bud sites from what I see yet...soon I hope!

Day 40 from seed 1/14/15 Nute tests, bends and tucks.....oh my

Hoping to have bud by mid February by looking at the expected time frames...without factoring in the cold that slowed things down.

Disregard the heater on the phone book. I have it on a tiny metal ladder now, it has a auto off if knocked over in any way.

RH Low: %40
High:%55
Current:%45

Temps Low: 68*
High: 81*
Current:77*



Ana....think this bend helped?

Temps...lower middle, right side and top middle cola





Nute burn tests watering:

Fast&Vast 3 : 1 gal. tap blew off chlorine
1 tsp. Tiger Bloom
.5 tsp. Grow Big
.5 tsp Big Bloom

Ana & Fast&Vast : 2 gal. tap blew off chlorine
3 tsp. Tiger Bloom
1 tsp. Grow Big
1 tsp. Big Bloom

Fast and Vasts are getting put through the tests in this super soil WITH nutes for an auto...next week flushing on the water. I feel like I'm in store for some nute problems maybe and some salt build up.

Going to get some molasses this week to feed after a flush maybe?

P.S.

Skunk 3 is starting to get some flowers goin!!! Woot for late bloomers LOL

P.P.S.

Added an extra tug on another cola stem with Ana on her backside that was getting near the walls and put into light.

 

[Zspy1985]

Came home tucked throughout room. Shaping up nice.

 

[richcougo]

Looking good starting to get some nice flowers now

 

[Zspy1985]

Yeah I was thinking I was going to get less then an ounce of dry per plant! They are really packing it on after the last feeding.

They will continue this growth I hope into the next couple weeks then I'll be into harvest time!

Next watering I want to add some molasses or flavorings to help plump up my buds then some light flush at the end. I'll let the pots dry out a bit before harvest and hope the trichomes are starting to cloud up.

I want to get a microscope lol

Ebay for $20 u can get a digital one that hooks into a computer or laptop and gives u live feed video of your Trich up close and personal I have one it works perfect

My man!! Good idea! I'm looking to add a live video feed next grow as well. Would be kinda cool to pop in online and see if temps are alright.

Checkin out that microscope right now.

 

[Zspy1985]

Looked at some of them and theres a few different kinds. How good is the photo at 2 mp? 1000x vs 500x? Which one did you get?

Day 42 from seed 1/16/15 11:00 pm MORE BUDS! ....BEND OVER GIRLS! Water time!

NSFW incoming ....oh lord for days!



Would also like to state that Fast & Vast 1 & 3 on stems have some buds that have some brown hairs....single brownish hairs. Not white like everything else.

Watered the following with 1 tsp. Tiger Bloom, Grow Big and Big Bloom:

Fast & Vast 1 = 1 gallon nute water
Fast & Vast 2 = 1 gallon nute water
Skunk 1 = 1 gallon nute water

 

[Zspy1985]

I have been reading a bit on LST and autos and feel like it will help with my yields. I'm wondering if me tugging things down will mess with the plant being able to support all the bud on a stem? Can anyone chime in on how these autos might take to it?

 

[Zspy1985]

Driving me nuts on what to expect for my yields .....AHHHHH!!!!

 

[Zspy1985]

Just peeked in ....some tiny tipping of yellow on the ones I watered. But growth goes on and they doing well. Seen my Fast #2 from the bend had turned up to the light lol....crazy

also more brown hairs happening on the main stem of Fast #3....

 

[richcougo]

Wouldn't stress the brown hairs and I got the lower zoom scope I think it was like 200to 800 zoom

 

[Zspy1985]

Thanks to this page I was able to turn a web cam I wasn't using into a microscope. http://m.instructables.com/id/HOW-TO-TURN-ANY-WEBCAM-INTO-A-HIGH-POWER-MICROSCOP/

 

[Zspy1985]

Testing the home made microscope. Will do the job I belive



Looks a ton better while viewing from my laptop. Might have to just buy one that allows me to focus a bit better.

 

[Zspy1985]

While doing my usual peek n tucks in the wee hours of the night before bed ...pulled a fan leaf off the mid section of Fast #3. She will be alright I'm sure .....they are growing so much it might help get light down on her.

More brown hairs along stems, even on Ana I'm seeing them now. Not sure if I have time but I might go 3 tsp of Tiger bloom next round with some molasses (if I am able to find some) on my feedings.

Noticed a burned leaf on Skunk 3 but I'm assume thats from last feeding and her starting to flowering.
