What Do I See?A New Set Of Leaves.The Next Week Should Be Very Interesting.Peace and Hair Grease :eyesmoke:
Yeah new set...........too little too late??/IDK..........Thanks dawg/gonna need your input

Lovely seedlings man :) love the lush green growth.

Peace to all and happy growing.
I can't smoke lovely........ha........thanks canna

Starting to become comfortable in their environment by the looks of it....great growth in a day! :D
great growth/maybe...........still at least a week behind IMO............will see/thanks for your input

Yeah, they are definitely taking off now. That is crazy coco - I'm use to it drying up quite a bit faster than soil.
It's a cocco mix(50 cocco/30 soil/20 perlite)....not the brightest idea, but my amendments seemed viable at the time........gonna boost the bitches this week with extra candles!!!ha

Happy to see things starting to pick up finally. Keep it up!
thanks brother puff.......will try my best with this panel.........wish i had an apache led right now;-)

Well if i have less than two weeks till flip(maybe/lol @nirvana) I need to push it this week and make up for my crappy tinkering with the grow/took too long to iron out the kinks........Doubling the co2 is just a last resort to make up for my mistakes, and i'm waiting for the ph issues to arise(it's coming) with the heat stress...........YES this week will be interesting indeed............happy growing

Sleeping with the girls:
Hey PSUAGRO I got my CO2 meter yesterday from china, and I'm totally green on CO2 and it's standing beside me and is measuring 496 ppm - the window is open.
When I played with it yesterday by blowing on it with my breath it climbed to 1200+ and the audio alarm was turned on and was loud, I vented the air around the unit
and it dropped to normal. I grow in my bedroom closet, so I had wondered about my impact on the plants during my sleep and breathing in the same room.

I vent to bad last night and got woken in the middle of the night by the CO2 alarm, and it was reading 1240ppm
I pressed reset and opened the door a little more and vent to bed.

Now one could wonder how many % of the CO2 in the cannabis plant is coming from my out-breathing.
And maybe I should get a O2 meter to see if the girls are holding there end of the bargain on the O2 delivery. :-)

With those nirvana genetics you might actually get away with an extra week or two for corrections before they start to flower, If they start to flower. heh.

Not sure where you're at but it is going to get interesting tomorrow and Thursday. looks like temps will be up around 95-100 for a few days. Ugh.
Good luck!

Yep i'm in the Northeast............97 tomorrow/98 thursday...........not good/ I'm interested in how the girls will cope with it though:bigjoint:



DAY 19 .....................#1002.jpg003.jpg.....................................#2004.jpg005.jpg...........Alright watered the girls and checked the ph...........my aerated tap(as of 6/19) is at 6.9 and the medium ph is at 6.5-6.6(it has lowered either by the TRF's degrading and/or by bacteria starting to colonize).......acceptable/maybe:P.............running two 4hr burns a day(before work/ and at bedtime).........light at 15inches (growth phase 23watt) 20/4 light schedule till the end(hopefully)...........

001.jpg006.jpg...........Next watering i'm gonna add some liquefied fish emulsion (@ 1/30th of the recommendation) to boost bacteria production and add some organic matter...............happy growing:)

Yup, tomorrow's gonna be a bitch. Got two punch bowls of water chilling as we speak. I'm going to try not to use my monster air conditioner tomorrow, but if the tent hits 88-90 by midday I'm going to have to swap it for the one I've got in the window and opening that window is a pain in the ass. And what fish emulsion are you using? Every one I've seen at the hydro store and HD, all say, (in the fine print of course), that they're not organic. I can't understand that. Unless the fish guts they use to make the shit are so full of heavy metals that they can't consider it organic :(.

Oh and I also wanted to say that you must have the patience of a saint because I would of thrown one of those plants against a wall by now to try to intimidate the other one into growing :fire:. Good Luck tomorrow!

ha........funny shit franjan............it will definitely be over 90degrees in the room for a couple days/ the building is well insulated so it may not be deadly...maybe:fire:..........About the fish emulsion, TBH I always assumed that it was organic/ gotta check, it's definitely HD's alaska 5-1-1 fert, used it for years at my old work to great success..........wow! your right.....001.jpg002.jpg.......and yes it's due to the metal content(fine print:)).....good call franjan...........and my patience is wearing thin........but I'm gonna see it through.........thanks

Edit: might have to go with flower thrive(in storage) to boost my bacteria instead.......ugh it's a long ride......will see:)

DAY 20................#1003.jpg004.jpg.........................................#2006.jpg007.jpg................All the shit is the same, will use a touch of the fish emulsion at next watering( i eat allot of fish/ have no problem smoking it either ha:bigjoint:).........always try to go straight organic if I can, but it's not worth the trip for me to get an alternative at this point...........oh well..............

It's already 81 degrees in my house and it's not even 11am! I'm gonna see how long I can make it without turning the A/C on. (yeah, right, lol.)

Your girls really have taken off these past few days. Hopefully they'll make it through the next 3 days unscathed. Good luck!

Still looking good. better than good when you consider how they were doing on day 6 or so (go look at page 10 lol)

Since you found that sweet spot you've been at a consistent 15 inches @ 23 watts, correct? No tinkering since?

Yeah their doing better........sweet spot maybe/ not sure.............Yeah no tinkering other than doubling up co2/co and lowering the light schedule from 24/0 to 20/4......the panel has stayed at the exact height, it's not technically 15 inches from the canopy probably less as they are growing into it(until i see bleaching/stunting then ill raise it)........thanks bro:)
