3rd Grow - Master Kush & Candyland Peyote - First Time With Photoperiods! LED Soil

[Cplchris]

We are in semi northern Ontario.
Mines are the only thing around here.
This was our first full summer.
Cold and not very sunny.
Lights in the greenhouse helped that.
Now it's winter though and rh in the house is low.
Wood stove etc.
But I'm going to be in a new facility with climate control, soon hopefully.
It'll be nice to not have to fight for a good environment for the girls.
20's though that's a tough one.
Hope it all works well.
Take care my friend.

A fellow Canadian I see! I’m in northern Alberta myself. I only grow indoors as the outdoor growing season is very short here. We get frost until the end of may and snow in October is a guarantee… sometimes September.

Yeah environment is always a tough one but sounds like you will have a good place to grow indoors soon. Will it be a large space?

Take care Bill

Have you not seen the pics?
It's a 100 sq ft purpose built grow facility. With 10' ceilings.
Completely sponsored by @VIVOSUN and @Herbies Seeds.
I'll post a couple pics.

It's triple insulated with a double roof and 2 layers of tyvek.
Radiant floor heating and 10' ceilings.
That will prevent another house fire.
That fire was 6 days before the house sold, cost me $30.000.00 in the sale of the house.
Was a disaster.
But now I'm golden.
There is a 5x5 with a VS6450 and a 4x4 10' tall it'll have a VS 4000.
I'll probably split that into 2 rooms, top and bottom.
For Mothers.
Then a nice work area and room for cloning.
Should be completed within the next few days.
The VIVOHUT.

Wow Bill. That looks great. Will be a nice addition and no more worrying about fires. Can’t wait to see the ladies in there. I will be watching your first grow in there for sure! Enjoy your day my friend

Hey @Bill284 , what will you be using to automate the humidity in that new space?

Have a good night

@VIVOSUN Grow hub controls everything from your phone.
Also @VIVOSUN heater, humidifier and dehumidifier.
Great equipment.
I'll explain it when I hook it all up.
Good night my friend.

Well, we are at about 35 days since sprouting. The ladies are growing quite vigorously. I toned down the nutes a bit and only go with half the recommended dose which seems to please them. Here are a couple of pics.

2 of my autos did not survive but the headband is sowing well. I germinated another purple Kush so hopefully this one will do better. Thanks for watching!

 

[Cplchris]

Hey all. Well about day 44 here. The ladies are progressing nicely. I decided not to use LST in the end. I attempted it on the smallest plant you see in the pics below. It did not like to be touched at all. I took the ties off within 10 hours of putting them on. It was the same size as the plant on the right until I did that… which stunted it for sure. Maybe this strain is just sensitive. I have been pruning and opening things up to the light as much as possible. They are loving the light and the nutes. I have been feeding every 2 days. The pots are completely dry by then.

The purple Kush auto is at 5 days now and the headband auto is at 12 days. They are in my gorilla shorty under a 100 watt mars hydro and a 100 watt spider farmer running 20/4.

Have a great night!

Hey all. A short update on the grow. The 2 candyland peyote and 1 master Kush are growing well and appear to be happy. It’s about day 53 since sprouting. Steadily increasing the nutes. They are very bushy strains and require regular pruning. They are growing wider then tall as you can see. Will need to flip to 12/12 fairly soon.

The little ones are also growing quite well. The headband (day 22) got some light burn so I took off some fan leaves and raised the lights 6 inches. This is why it looks a bit sick….still recovering. The little purple Kush (day 15) appears to be healthy and doing well.

 

[Cplchris]

The rest as I could only add 10 photos.

That's healthy happy garden.
Girls are growing like crazy, you must have them dialed in.
Big girls look ready for flower.
Hope you have a great day.
Take soon.

That will be awesome.
Those are huge ladies.
They will be amazing in flower, can't wait.
Poor Howie is soaking.
He loves the snow.
Just wants to play in it.
But his fur is magnetic.
We are warming up now.
Take care.

2 days since I flipped to 12/12 now. The lights just came back on and they look so happy so I couldn’t resist a pic. Have a great day everyone.

Happy 2023 everyone

An update on my grow. The photo periods are doing really well. I flipped to 12/12 6 days ago. They are really stretching and growing. They also have the white hairs coming from most bud sites. They each take over 4 litres every 2 days when feeding. The big one I give almost 6 litres.

The autos are another story. The purple Kush is doing great with no issues but the headband has been a little Diva since sprouting. The lower fan leaves continuously get yellowish and the whole plant droops all the time. I don’t over water or under water. I’m doing everything the same with all plants so I’m kinda baffled. There is discolouration in some of the leaves as well. Darker green with lighter green spots. I use growing nutes and I add calmag as well. Water is phd to 6. Lights are at about 29 inches. Any ideas as to the problem?

Hope you are all doing well this new year. Thanks for your time.

 

[Azimuth]

Those lighter spots looks like a deficiency. Are you feeding according to some schedule from the manufacturer?

I’m feeding as per the manufacturer schedule and adding some calmag with it. Could it be too much nutes? Maybe she’s sensitive to them. Or maybe she needs more than usual and I’m not feeding enough?

It looks like a deficiency to me as well though.

IMO. your watering a little too often.
Leaves are thick and fluffy in a couple pics.
You might be drowning the roots just slightly.
I'd give another day before watering. 3 instead of 2.
Put calmag in the water first according to the chart.
Then nutrients micro, grow, bloom. In that order.
If you adjusting the ph do it last and set it to 6.3.
Only if you are already setting it.

Thank you Bill. I was doing the ph first but will do it last now. I will wait an extra day or two between watering and see what happens. Thank you. Your knowledge is greatly appreciated.
