Potheads grow journal

Update

Flowers are starting to really fill in with pistle runs on some over 8 inches long.
This little one has the silver haze look going on for sure.

Leveling worked well and the ones tied up are also tied down. This will hopefully stop vertical and perhaps let some catch up.

The old fimm is turning into a lump of pistles. It has a small cola on top but about 6 inches of the stem is horizontal cause that’s all I could do to bend it down. I have it at 65k lux in a hot spot below the canopy tops. The only reason I am letting it grow is that the position is the hot spot center of the right side light and I was using that to torch a nice group of fans for energy. In late flower I had a group of fans 12 inches below canopy at 55k for 2 weeks. Saving solar panels will be a major focus for me as it works in the garden it just made sense to me.
No pics but if the timing works out it may show up in the bud of the month club under the wtf is this catagory

Update.

Went back to 2.8. 2.1 liters per plant. I like the 2 day water cycle and it is working.

Today is a great day. Tops tied down and moved stuff around back and forth and I have every bud sites but 2 at 56k min and 65k max. Other 2 flowers are at 45k and they lack large fans for energy but they look to provide a nugget.

Lights at 100%
Duct at 7 fans at 6
6.25 pH

White Widow ILGM seeds foop nutes.


Much love to all the folks here and at rollitup.org who got me here

Doesn’t look like the scrog will get much use. Still stretching or just nug fattening now?

All stems pretty fixed and the ones I need down are tied.
scrog being used to pull and tug stems for light. tiny thin wire. The bowl in the middle is the light hot spot. even though flowers are 6 inches below tops they are still at 55-65k

This evening I tried a different transition strategy from day to night. Before at 6pm the scripted automation shut the light off and turned the heat level to 68. This time I had the heat level changed to 68 at 5: 30 so the only support for heat was the light. Here is the results at 6pm

Without heater box the temp lowered but the VDP remains stable.
When the heater box kicked back in at 68 the RH WAS 5% LOWER than last night.

last few nights it took 3 hours to get down to 47% rh

Larger plant continues the fade but the smaller plant is showing what looks to be a cal-mag deficiency.
Anybody wants to chime in please so. I have cal-mag both foliar and pour but watering not needed till tomorrow. Plants have both slowed down.


Low temp landing engaged. 75 day 67 night. 50% day 45% night.

All of our nightmare scenarios….

Stabilized with one light door propped open light fan running
73 degrees and 61.2 % RH via Bluetooth growee sensor
All manual control. I actually have no idea what the light defaults to. Not even going to check as I can not do a thing about it

With the tent closed up it peaked at 71% RH.
Almost went to Kroger just before lights out. That would have been bad

Edit
Ya know I’m following a guy with a plant in flower in a cardboard box and a fan.
I better got this.

Last time I lost power for 30 hours but I got a vehicle up close and plugged in an AC inverter. Ran the whole grow.
This is just a 150 watt tap on an escape on a 100 foot cord.

Pots not dry still heavy.

Cal def has not moved past the 2 stems already affected.

Plants look good minimal leaf pull today I let them go till they start to necrotize.

Did move ugly fimm to perimeter still at 48k and better on the horizontal pistle farm that’s growing on it. Moved stuff behind fimm stem to in front. 2 nice buds going from 38 to 52 hope it likes it.


The fimm stem is the big flower on the right. If you look at its buddy to the left you can see the stem is filling in lower. The Fimm stem turns horizontal for 6 inches and is spawning a mess
