So I’m show some progression photos. I haven’t done a journal yet so be nice lol
Here’s the basics
What strain 3 Gorilla Glue and 2 Northern Lights
Seed bank ILGM
Method: Organic soil, FF Happy Frog
Vessels: 3 gallon bags
PH of Water, Solution, runoff: using 6.3ph water, declorinated
PPM/TDS or EC of nutrient solution if applicable. Haven’t checked runoff yet. Will start adding nutes when ppm drops under 800
Indoor 5x5 tent
Light system : spider farmer sf4000
Temps; ave 72°f
Humidity; varies… low 40 high 70% controlled with humidifier
Ventilation system; Yes 6" with inline fans 390cu ft/min
Co2; No
*plan to use Jack’s 3,2,1 once ppm was under 1000, but it’s only been in happy frog 2 weeks. Solo cup was half HF half Promix
Have used Jack’s bloom 1st 2 grows but going to try monopotasium phosphate 0 52 35 this time. Idk… I might chicken out
Really good luck so far. Started 5 seeds by soaking 12 hrs. Then went to exposed paper towel on a saucer with bottled spring water. All 5 popped within 48hrs
Planted in solo cups HF/Promix 50/50 under 2 2’ t5 bulbs 8/29
Transplanted to 3 gallon bags at 2 weeks 1 day
9/13 and put in tent at 25% intensity
You will absolutely need mpk come your first 3 weeks of flower
I use Jacks 222 and 1.2/ g per gal Mpk for the first 3 weeks after flip then back to jacks 321
Off to a good start
Good luck and happy growing
Still doing ok. The northern lights, middle back and right front, are stretching a little more than the gorilla glue. But not horrible yet. I have the lights at 30" and intensity at 70%. 30" is high but last grow i burnt them at “26 because they can grow so fast. When I check tomorrow, clearance will be 28”
Going to start selectively removing some sun leaves to expose inner branches
Haven’t added nutes yet, only 6.5ph declorinated tap water
Here it’s 31 days and time for a mild defoliation.
I took about 1/3 of the largest shade leaves that had finished growing. I left a couple larger ones at the top… I debated with myself. I really wanted to take them, but they are still growing.
They’re probably a week or so away from transition to flowering. I’ll probably do a more aggressive trim at about 6 weeks and the final trim at 8 weeks. At least that’s the plan.
I tried to get decent before and after photos but they’re not real great. Some it’s hard to tell i did much and others just look different from different photo angles
I did all 5 but these 3 show what I did the best and you get the idea
Not a big deal, but it opens up some spots and let’s a little light in hopefully with as little stress as possible at this point
Still around 50-60% rh and have the intensity of the sf4000 at 70%. Will raise to 80% next feeding or two depending on ppm (still no nutes at this point but soon)
Once transition to flowering is complete ill drop intensity to 40% and introduce mkp to the mix and increase to 100% gradually. Only 100% last 2 weeks or so. Idk… that’s the plan
Day 34 It looks like the stretch has started. See all the new branches popping out since removing some shade leaves. Starting nutes next watering ppm under 800. Im thinking one feeding will jack’s 3 2 1 Then go 2 2 2 1.2 for a few waterings. Idk… this is where I’ve had some problems in the past. I reduced intensity to 75% today and still have 32" space. Not for long though
@dbrn32@Nicky Hi guys, can you peak in on this time to time? I’d love your input if you see anything. Maybe it’s in the wrong spot since it’s not just a journal but hoping for advise if needed. I kinda wished I would have topped them (FIM) but it’s too late now I think. I did top a gorilla last grow. It was a weird plant. Very leafy buds compared to the ones I didn’t top.
good node spacing
