My First Growth Journal

@greencoat
Is this a teaching moment for you and a learning moment for me?
Damned if both source water without and with adding the rock phosphate was the same EC reading. Hmm

This is what I used with % and soluble info on box…

What brand are you using?

@LoCoRock I haven’t read that one yet.
Heard about it from my brother in law and would like to read it at some point

Great update! Looking good :+1::v::bear:

Thanks @MattyBear

Here is a video that after watching will give you the confidence to go and grow all organic…

You can do iiiiit! Lol

All I hear is organic growing…do they make steroids for pot??

Yep they do!
Its all the non organic nutrients being used…those would be the steroids comparable to humans taking Roids.

Hello all!
Still having rust fungus issues although minimal I am removing affected leaves when spotted and I’ve ordered a biological solution that will be here Friday so hopefully will be the ticket to keeping it at bay for the next 60 days.



Anyone have any experience using this product and if so an6 feedback on it would be appreciated.
Keeping the temps at 78 day 72 night and RH 43%-36%

Saved some room by hanging my fan upside down

Here are updated pics of my seedlings and clones. Decided to put the 2 Waikiki Queens that has very little rooting while in clone bucket into soil figuring they couldn’t last much longer in bucket. One should make it the other is a crap shoot.
The other 2 well rooted clones are looking great as well as the 4 seedlings.
Watered them today with DTE enhanced root growth mycorrhizae solution.

Thanks for tuning in!

Hey @Skydiver how is the fan working upside down. LOL I honestly entertained the thought but didn’t go through with it thinking I was just stoned and it wouldn’t work! I have the exact same fan and am super curious. It doesn’t oscillate that way now… correct? Just twist the base hopefully with no damage or eat if falling…

Lol works great
It still oscillates just fine. The base bottom hits the tent wall but the skinny fan body is free to rotate.
Seem to be solid using the screw eyelets I had lying around from another project and some string to make the connection to hang it

GR8. another goddamn project. If I put as much time into fixing my house up as I do gardening my wife would let me build a new addition…

A new grow room addition yea baby…

New pics from tonight
In order are WWX, Pineapple Express and Waikiki Queen

Looks the the WWX isn’t all that happy in certain areas of the growth not plant wide but in “Mitacle Grow” spots maybe? Live and learn…

Question…as this is my first grow so my first flowering too are the fan leaves ends being burnt and some turning a lighter green normal for being at day 24 since the flip to 12/12?
Not sure if that is normal this early into flower or not.

Any feedback is appreciated

Thanks

I think they look good man. Nothing I see to stress over that jumps out at me :v::bear:

Thanks @MattyBear
What device do you use to view and or take close up pics of your buds and trichomes?

I don’t think my mag light app on phone will be able to get enough detail near end of flower to decide when to harvest. This is what I used on the 3 pics above showing the buds…doesn’t seem to give enough detail.

Thanks again

I use a jewelers loupe and hold my phone camera up to it and take pictures that way. Take a lot because they tend to come out blurry

Well the biological funcicide PreStop didn’t arrive today to treat rust fungus so hopefully will arrive tomorrow. I had also ordered some Serenade which also treats for that too which is supposed to get here tomorrow too.

I just started a test in the room my tent is in in order to raise my C02 ppm as since flowering began my tent ppm has dropped from the 600-750 range down to 450-550 range as I guess they are utilizing more than in veg. I have hung a Exhale bag in tent last week and it’s starting to have a lot of mycelium growth but as of now not producing enough to keep up with demand. This bag was already premixed. Yesterday I decided to also open the Exhale 365 bag and mixed it up and hung it as well. This will not really start producing c02 for another 4-6 weeks according to bag info.
I have a Mr. Buddy propane heater that I brought into the room and set up near the passive air intake and set on low to both up the temps a bit in the tent as since turning off my T5 side lights in tent the remaining lights aren’t keeping temps where I want them during the day of around 76-80. Also this propane heater is rated for use unvented and I wanted to see how much C02 would be added. Well after maybe 1 hour they are up in the 1350 to 1500 ppm range and temps have at lease come up to 76 as well. This increase in C02 ppm should allow me to provide more light that the HLG 600H 54b can provide as up to now the Ppm was too low for increasing light PPFD. Not sure how this will work for things and I won’t be running the buddy heater all the time. Was able to turn the 8” fan to lowest setting as the extra heat from the T5 fixtures no longer add to temps.

Will update my test info as I go on the C02 addition using the propane heater.

Thanks for tuning in

They look gr8… how long did you veg for just curious…

Thanks @LoCoRock
I’m not sure how everyone counts veg or flower as I’ve seen where they don’t add up the seedling stage or the “transition stage to flower from veg but I just calculate 2 stages. Seed with tail in soil as first and sprouted seeds went into soil November 28th and I flipped lights to 12/12 on January 28th so I guess that would be about 61 days in veg. I could be figuring wrong and not sure why divide the stages more than 2 of them.

Update on the buddy propane heater / C02 generator.lol…temps 78f and C02 is ranging between 1350 and 1500 ppm…NICE! :yin_yang::high_brightness::100::call_me_hand::+1::partying_face:

I used to have a jewelers loop for work some years back but my X had used it for something and it is now nowhere to be found. That will work for me to be able to tell if the trichomes are ready as I don’t need to photograph that just be able to tell myself but I was also looking at the add ons they have for phone camera.

Hmm

Once you have the photos on your phone , you can zoom in to see where the trichomes are at
