Twentyeight.threefive's Grow Journal - 2nd grow

Day 36 - 11/5/2020

The girls have perked back up after their haircuts. Feed an extra 0.5 g of Epsom Salts with 4 g of Mega Crop. The feed water gets 2 ml/gal of CAliMAGic before I add any other nutrients. 1.5 EC at 5.7 pH today. I forgot/didn't have time to mix 5 gallons so they got 0.25 each. Oops. I'll try to remember to remedy that for tonight.

How are you liking the megacrop? I'm looking to switch over to that!

Mega Crop is a cheap quality nutrient line. I found the one part to be easy to use in the past. Only issue I've had is when mixing before is flakes or bits of precipitate floating in the solution. I just mixed up 5 gallons last night, hoping I don't have black bits on the bottom of the pail again!

Edit: Checked the nutrient solution I mixed up and it was dark but didn't have bits floating in it like last time I mixed up 5 gallons. I probably did something incorrectly last time who knows lol.

Day 37 - 11/6/2020

Cruising along. Noticed the signs definitely on Big Bud that she's going into flower. Nothing wrong with short stocky girls .
Got some nice roots at the bottom of the pots and some nice trunks.

Guessing my huge possible drying area might be perfect after all.

 

[twentyeight.threefive]

Chillin with my home girls. Lights got dropped to about 18"-20". I'm interested to see if they show any additional stress from it. They all got a good feed of 2 ml/gal CAliMAGic, 3.5 g/gal Mega Crop, 1.5 g Epsom salts. 5 gallons mixed up to 1.5 EC and 5.8 pH.

Day 38 - 11/7/2020

Noticed some curled tips on Big Bud. A previous thread suggested its plant hormones from preflower. It's most definitely going into flower; I'll keep an eye on it. I also super cropped two tops on her, they just don't want to stay down.



Excited to be taking pictures with my new phone, the camera is a big upgrade.

By some small miracle I was able to assemble and slid the foam mats under the tent. It couldn't be a tighter fit up against the ceiling now, the tent just BARELY slides around. Still have electrical to set up, but very excited to get this tent running. I step inside the tent and I'm still amazed with how much height I have to work with now! I anxiously await the delivery of my Timber Fatty VS!

Day 39 - 11/8/2020

Cruising along. Lots of new growth pumping out. The extra magnesium in the epsom salt seem to be helping. Think I'm going to start with a little Bud Explosion for the start of their flowering.

Little more defoliation. Get some light into those bud sites.

 

[twentyeight.threefive]

Plants are pushing into flower. The bud sites are growing extremely fast and the newer more yellow growth shows that. While watering them today I noticed how much more I could have spread them out via LST if I had the room in here.

Current growing plans have changed. Possibly anticipating the arrival of a new dog in approximately four months so the current two runs of autos will be the last run before a break. Plan is to start the Bodhi Cosmic Serpent pheno hunt in August with the new tent and light after the break.

The two new autos aren't looking great. I seem to have an extremely hard time with seedlings. I can only guess they are overwatered. They have roots to the bottoms of the starter pots and were being fed small amounts twice daily. Back to once a day even though the roots are white and healthy at the bottom. They are being feed the stock mix up of nutrients (calmag, MC, epsom) diluted down to 0.5 EC at 5.8 pH. The blurple is running 24/0 on them and should be plenty far away from them.

PICTURE DAY! Well I had fun with them when I got home tonight. I find the whole growing process therapeutic. My work and care creates something amazing. I'm in my infantile stages of learning but it's been a blast!

Day 41 - 11/10/2020

I knew it would happen. One of these times I'd forget to start the new post of the day with the day # and date. 155 days of daily posts on the grows and it happened yesterday. hahah

Girls are healthy and happy. The little autos are getting bigger and the first set of leaves look like shit. New growth seems to be coming in fine so far with no signs of issues. Hope they stay that way.

Day 42 - 11/11/2020

Tent is feeling pretty full, except Diesel-Matic is a runt. Added some Great White to the nutrient feed today, why not. When I added it to the nutrient solution it formed a black sediment after a few minutes when I went back to start filling up the first watering container. I guess I found what was causing that earlier when I was still on the Jack's. Feed at 1.4 EC @ 5.8 pH.

Day 43 - 11/12/2020

Some White Thunder from a previous harvest. Love grabbing a jar and not having to worry about supply. This one smells like Fruity Pebbles in the jar and gains a slight spice scent out of the jar by itself. Delicious.



I had thought about lowering the light a little, but decided against it. The lights are closest to Big Bud at 18", the others are shorter so slightly farther. They are happy now, why mess with it.

Day 44 - 11/13/2020

I still have no idea what I plan to do with the two new small autos I started. They were pretty jacked up when smaller and all the leaf damage is still evident. They seem to be starting to recover though. Solid roots down to the bottom of the containers for a little bit now.

Day 45 - 11/14/2020

Big Bud is definitely ahead of the others in flower. Trailed by Dr. Feelgood, BCN Critical XXL, and Diesel-Matic.

No idea how this fellow got in here...

Also transplanted the two newer Lemon and Northern Lights autos. Roots! They got Great White added to the transplant holes and the roots directly.

Day 47 - 11/16/2020

The joys of growing 4 different strains in a small tent. I had no choice but to start super cropping the Big Bud. The tops were quickly outpacing the rest of the canopy. I wouldn't be surprised to come home today and see them all standing straight up again, that plant is a beast.

The tent already had a very strong smell even through out most of veg. The potency of the smell is just getting stronger. I love it though.

Day 48 - 11/17/2020

They get knocked down, but they get up again. The super cropped branches of Big Bud have already popped up in 24 hrs. I didn't get a chance to water any plants or check on them last night. They were definitely thirsty today! The lightness of the pots and the reduced amount of runoff confirmed that.
