The Midnight Farm Grow Journal: Welcome to the Harem

[OldMedUser]

It's hard resisting free gear You can always just throw a new journal up with their criteria to make them happy. Not much to copy since it's a pretty new journal. Looks like your room is coming together real well, congrats and good luck on your grow.

What that does say about a company's ethics when you can show plants under any light but call it theirs.

Wonder if they would be cool with a nice blurple or HPS orange:

 

[OldMedUser]

they better accept that as my entry I had to kill any sense of morals I had to make that post

What else would you do for free stuff eh?

Lol you don't even want to know what I'd do for nutes.

Speaking of which. Looks like I'll be Flexin' on these Hoes.


Fittings for trellis arrived. Went for the 1 1/4" for the extra girth. The girls like the girth. In hind site I'd have gone with 1" but availability is low at the moment and I figured the extra rigidity hurt no one.

Local. It was 620 for both.

 

[MidnightSun72]

Amnesia clones doing good.


Tray of pink Kush 25 plants to tray. I put all similar cultivars together.

so here's some shit

this mother fucker here killed a mom. At first I was like awww cute



next morning the plant that fucker was sleeping by has fur all the at the base of it and made nitrogen burn. Needless to say that tents now zipped right up all the time lol



Here's some test seedlings with their clone I cut whenI was topping them all.



Also did some mad defoliation my thumbs/ thumbnails are super sore. Lol


withfresh cut


And This why my girls have been finicky stupid fucks. Ph in some pots is way low. Made a slurry of the soil on some girls showing magnesium deficiency. And then I checked the meter back in PH 7.0 solution to confirm it wasn't fucked and it read 7.0.




La Kush Cake clones up nicely. I already had some water clones one from earlier that's gonna flower in the room. And I kept the original seedling back for a mom. The clone has already grown large enough to flower with these other girls. She roots easily in water or these rapid rooters. Btw first time just using honey no cloning liquid. Worked great. So I am pretty hopeful she'll be a goodie.


planted the amneesia in soil. No wilt. They are doing good.

 

[MidnightSun72]

This sexy bitch just came in the mail


Fully defoliated. Ready to start flowering. Will try to figure out trellis ASAP. Lol

 

[MidnightSun72]

Lol so figured out my frames. Will get some trellis netting and mount.

on thing that sucks about this height is that it hits the fans. Might raise the lights a bit and love the fans up too. Lol.

 

[MidnightSun72]

Hydrofarm HGN30S Flexible String Trellis Netting, 5' x 30', 3.5" Mesh https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01NBU1VCM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_RAYKBSZ9J6D4YDWQ4FS7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Ordered trellis netting it's the 3.5" openings. Hope I don't regret the small opening. But I wanted to be able to guide each top a little more accurately. Than 6".

 

[MidnightSun72]

Did a final check for light leaks. And switched timing to 12/12. Will get the frames up tonight (their day)

Trellis net doesn't get here until Saturday. Hope they don't stretch too much before then.

 

[MidnightSun72]

Defoliated the moms and the girls I've kept back for clones and future potential moms are. The potential moms were kept back either for being quick to root, quick to stretch or reach flowering height etc. Out of these I'll keep one or two that make nice bud.

Zookies x RockStar #5
Zookies x CHEM Dawg #3
Zookies x Roswell #1
LA Kush Cake
Platinum Kush Breath # 1
Platinum Kush Breath # 2
Amnesia


Anything else that turns out better than expected
I'll clone from flowering plant to save it.



Trellis got here will put in tonight. Ran out of time this morning before lights went out.


Made up all the frames but decided I better move the lights and fans up



Lights raised up 12" and fans raised 14"


Now the fans clear the trellis no problem and I can push the carts around without worry.

 

[MidnightSun72]

Got a layer oftrellis in.




went and helped a friend out and got some clones in return.

4x 3ft tall clones are ThugPug Ghost Breathe
2 smaller ones are God Bud

As soon as Ghost breath and god bud pass quarantine they hit the flower room. Definitely tall enough. lol.

then in cubes I got:
- 2 Blueberry muffins
- 2 Divine Gelato
- 2 baby Yoda

 

[MidnightSun72]

Soooo got some new toys. Lol. Just waiting on cloning collars and some sprayers.


Veg Room got the next round of girls all in cups. Had to give them some nutes. Released a round of predators in the veg and flower room on Monday.




Mean while in the flower room the girls are just starting to show some pistils at the nodes. Added a second layer of trellis on two of the carts as the girls were getting tall

Added a second layers of trellis as well in the back on the pink Kush cuz they reaching. And also on the sweet skittlez because those girls are usually garbage and fall over after they make buds.

All this trellis netting I'll be a YouTube grower in no time.




this table is Sandstorm by Cannabiogen entirely. These girls are pretty happy but a couple are showing light/heat stress. Dunno why they've seen much worse. I got the lights turnt to 75% strength. And we are 5 -6 days from flip now.



Pink Kush. These girls were getting all cal mag bitchy looking. Upped my feed been giving 1400ish ppm of the PGRs I mean FloraFlex nutes and all the new growth is looking tasty.

 

[MidnightSun72]

Here's the sand storm tacoing. Even though environment seems to be dope. And most girls going nuts with growth. Then she has sisters right beside her with no issues. Never really seen this issue with this plant before. And I had them closer to the light in the 4x8. Anyway will see if she rides it out or what.




Many of the girls are showing some pistils now. But the GDP she's ahead of everyone in this aspect.

 

[MidnightSun72]

Just a little visual update day 10ish I guess??s






all the girls showing their fine pistils. Still on the look out for the one zookies tray as those are just regular seeds. But so far I haven't seen any males so I think it's good. Will probably defoliate in a week and kill off any branches that are too crowd/don't think will yield.

Sensi star


Sand storm

[MidnightSun72]

Swapped out the CO2 tank


Girls just keep stretching



leaf curl on the sand storm was not heat or light. It was nute burn. Flushed the pot out and the new growth seems right again.



Bud



Pink Kush just keep stretching

 

[MidnightSun72]

So this is my watering setup. Really simple. But really helped me cut down my time ba the watering can. Lol.



gAve the pulse pro a permanent home took some measurements.



at AVG canopy height.



At the top of the grey frames which is 2ft below the lights.


zookies cross


LA Kush cake. Got good hopes for this girl.

Damn those are crazy ppfd numbers with those lights that high

looking good

The multi fixture arrangement really helps the PPFD. I am pretty happy with the light output from the fixture. I will def be adding some 660nm to round the spectrum out a bit though. Also if I were to do it again I'd maybe go with 3000K.

thank you for the compliment.
