I started germination July 1st, all three sprouted July 4th (2015). I built my room. The details are:
Strain - Double Berry (Mainly Indica) Feminized x3
Grow Room - 6.5' Deep, 4'8" H (this is the max the plant can go after accounting for light and pot), 6' W
Lighting - 600w MH for Veg, 600w HPS for flower (with cheap reflector wing), Styrofoam for reflection. Cycle has been 20/4. Begins at 6 pm and ends at 2 pm.
Air circulation - 1 4" inline exhaust w/ carbon filter (apparently 220 cfm), oscillating 16" fan, evaporative air cooler/ionizer, 1 6" wall fan
Growing medium - Hydro store starter soil (plants are still in it in the pics), Fox Farms Ocean Forest once transplanted. Pots are 6" diamtere, 6" height, but they have a 1" spacer at the bottom.
Nutrients - Rx Green Part A and Part B for veg and bloom (using the correct ones when applicable), CaliMagic, Silica Blast, Rx Green Microbial mutual beneficial root grow
Water - Distilled water from grocery store or from purifying it myself.
CO2 supply - been using what the people in the house naturally exhale, but purchasing some fungal boxes tomorrow and may make some sugar/yeast water myself (stinks like dirty socks, but that is preferable to the pleasant, tho noticeable, MJ odor).
Environment - been very difficult to control. My RH has been just under 60% throughout, but my temps are hanging around 90°F. I purchased the evaporative cooler today. I am removing the digital ballast tomorrow (hopefully the temp goes down to 80°F ish.
I have watered when needed (5 times since sprout). I added the first nutes 4 days ago. Here is what was added:
1.5 ml part A
1.5 ml part B
1 scoop of root magic (All in a gallon)
I use 19 fl oz per plant
I added more yesterday:
2.5 ml part A
2.5 ml part B
1.5 scoop root magic
1 ml silica blast
1 ml calimagic
19 fl oz per plant
2 of the girls are looking great (at least i think so). However, the other one "split". Instead of the stem continuing straight up, a branch and leaf formed instead and the main grew diagnolly. It almost looks like it "topped" itself. I have searched, but nothing really answered my question to my satisfaction. I read about a mutation, but the pics i saw just werent the same.
So my question (s) are:
What is going on with the odd ball?
Are my plants ACTUALLY healthy?
Am I missing something from my nute list?
Any other advice that I may have forgot or havent learned?
I have read over a hundred posts, 17 books, and I do have a degree is Chemistry and Biological Engineering (Bachelors and Masters respectively). Human Biology though. My knowledge of plant anatomy and biology is limited to bio 101, 102, micro bio, and organic chem. I am fortunate enough that I am also able to take sampels to view under my microscope which is why I realized i needed to do something about my CO2 (stomata were WIDE open). They are choking for air. I wont bother with CO2 during dark times (plants have no need of co2 during the calvin cycle, of course).
Thanks is advance to everyone who takes the time to educate me.
