Jimski grow journal #2 Back to my roots

[Jimski]

This morning took pictures of nodes and stems. Node stacking starting and verified both females.
White widow pheno lists as faster flowering 8-10 weeks. Stretch is nuts and I believe I went a week to long in veg. Chaos in the tent and plants are hard to move in and out of tent for training and I cannot lean over a plant for very long. One more week and I am going to throw a trellis over it and see how that goes. Water device and interface issue with biological control unit fixed for easy watering.

Update
End of week 5 flower. Foop nutes at highest concentrations for week 4, 5 and 6.
7 days ago I had a watering issue where I had developed a pattern of watering every 2 days. During the boost phase water consumption went down and I did not notice it until I had about a liter in each plant. 3 days later the smaller plant developed a calcium deficiency.




Treated with cal-mag plus at 4ml per gallon rate.

Manipulation of current grow has tops at 65-50k for all flower sites with the exception of a couple of smaller buds that look to provide a nice little nug at only 38k lux




You can see it down low follow the sensor solo cup down the side of the plant
At this point 2-3 weeks out is is autopilot mode. Moving flowers up and down and picking out fading leafs. Environment is dialed and vdp is a straight line for days at a time.

Latest pic last night. I do not open tent anymore for pictures only If I am cleaning up or feeding I will take a pic with tent open.

Finally have a couple stacking resin glands. Both are in 60k lux

Looking good! Love the structure on these

 

[Jimski]

The guy I gave my 3rd plant too made it into a mother. Going to spawn clones for an outdoor maybe?

 

[Jimski]

Watered today 6.4 pH cal-mag at 5ml per gallon foop nutes at max for the rest of this week and then pull back.
Pulled some up and pushed some down and over. One main bud is at my max of 65 lux and balance between 60-52 lux. My 5 now mini buttons are at 38k
Stacking of resins continues. Based on water need of humidifier even at 50 day and 44 night it is using water leaving me to believe that negative growth has basically stopped at this point and it's all flowers now.

Did add a covering of recharge after watering. About an inch to keep top evaporation down.

 

[Jimski]

Can actually see swelling by the day.

Numbers day

Numbers night

 

[Jimski]

All buds now stacking and chunking up. 3 have swelled up to over 3 inches wide. Nice tree shaped white widows.

 

[Jimski]

Light and health check nails painted. 6 large buds at 65k all day no bleaching no curling. Just chunking up like mad

9 days in on calcium def and no other stems on plant are affected. The leafs have never stopped rusting up. I have not seen this leaf fade on a plant in flower and I am wondering if I should pull the leaves that are starting towards necrosis. If it was a tomato plant leaf it would be fine but these are exiting the middle of the bud and soon it will be in the bud.

 

[Jimski]

3rd night in a row the top reaching buds broke the chains of bondage ( loose wire ) and reached for the top. light check at 6:30 both at 70k lux yikes. Pulled down both from 2 directions and did back lights off to 90%.
also put right side light lean towards back of tent throwing more light at front of tent. everything still between 65-53 but my buttons got another little light boost to 47k lux
pots heavy will check before lights out.

Update
Cal-mag finally having an effect. Smaller spots and no edge damage and no yellowing.
Watered to damp bottom of fabric pots for both. No runoff after 15 minutes. Foop nutes at week 6 and cal-mag plus at 5ml per gallon
All plants stayed in place. 65 for a few tips 55 for most buttons at 40 ish.
Small plant looks good on flowers just the leaves exiting look rough.

And fyi the starter kit quart size foop gets 2 plants to the end of week 6. $49 bucks. Get the gallon kit $99. The gallon kit only need a quart of of the sugar mix gunna have that left over.
Had a couple of growers stated this was a nutes burn. After reviewing lots of website the only users that posted this situation also had root bound plants in smaller fabric pots. The first sign was eruption of roots through the top of the media.. the small plant started this about 14 days ago.
Still think it was missing a dry cycle for my plants when I did not check weight.

3pm peek

Still chunkin up. everything looks good.

 

[Jimski]

Morning check no new damage from calmag issue. Pruned a few yellow fades. Big pot lighter then little pot and both are markedly lower in water use. Going to back down as I want to stay in the 2-3 day cycle but the plant wants what the plant wants.

Will water and feed later today. Week 7 nutes drop by 10% this week and will adjust cal-mag down to maintenance levels
Tops at 65k balance between 60-50k lux buttons at 40k



Chunky girls.

Just a closeup.

Overnight transition fixed went from 50% day to 45% night in 30 minutes.

Large plant ready smaller plant not ready. Will do larger plant at 5:30 today and check smaller plant tomorrow.
All flowers behaving just pulled 3 yellows off.
No signs of cal-mag issue but some flower leafs look pretty bad but everything discolored will be trimmed off anyways.
Based on some comments about trimmers getting clogged up with sticky I got a 3 pack in the way. Not going to get a bowl trimmer until I at least try hand.
As I typed that I got a big shot of regret LOL.

Am check smaller plant is dry but heavy. I have not been able to remove the plants for the last 4 weeks and I felt around the fabric pots and the smaller plant has a severe air pruning issue. Dozen roots through the side of the pot. Larger plant has not done a single air prune
To late to up pot. Have to water based on weight with a plant that feels 3 times as heavy as the bigger plant.
This plant went hydrophobic 2 times during this run. Both we fixed with a slight dressing. Too new to growing to pick a reason.
Tops 65-48lux vdp 1.5 straight line for all day. Night vdp around 1.2


Perhaps the perlite was not mixed well and the larger plant got most of it?
In any event going to baby this little one and hope it makes it to the finish line.
Screwing with the humidity this week effected weekly numbers.


That is one fugly data trace for RH

What program/controller is this?

This is a screenshot from Vivosun. It gathers your date for the week and shows you how you stack up. It is called the garden glimpse. Temp was fine humidity was a mess because of a whole house setting I had forgot about
