**Update - Potted Plants**
Ok, back again with the update on our potted plants. We are motoring right along now, the plants are happy in their new homes after getting their feeding and transplant, right on track for flowering. A few were a little down looking afterwards so I held off til today with the update, but everything looks great today. Lets get on with some info on what happened around here.
Today I turned the Spectrum X light panel up again to 60% from 50. Been giving them a little more every couple of days so that when we get into flower we can really hit them. The light panel has really been performing and these plants are loving it. Once the weekend hits I will likely drop the time down by a couple of hours each day from 18 hours light until we reach 12 hours. This is more so to not shock the plants too much, many people do this an hour a day. Undecided on when to turn on the flower spectrum and when to use the UV/IR addition bars. Should I wait until the stretch is done to flip on the red flowering spectrum, or turn it on when I start dialing back the daylight hours? Any ideas when would be best to use the UV/IR bars? Both light wavelengths run off 1 button, so both come on at the same time.
So the transplants went well into the 5 gallon containers which is their final home for flowering. I got the promix hp and sunshine #4 mixed up into my tote that I use, got my new containers ready and some scoops and got down to business. I should note that I also spray down the medium a little with some plain RO water while mixing it together to make it slightly damp, a little moisture for when the plants go in and it helps hold up my inverted sand castle when I transplant.
Once they were all done, I got some feed mixed up for them. Again, 1ml per gallon of CaliMagic first, gets me at about 120ppm. Then we add 5ml per liter of nutrients to the mix. I can't seem to find the paper I where I wrote down what it came out to after nutrients lol. I want to say it was around 5.39ph and 624, I could be wrong
Each pot got 2 liters of mix each for now, it made them fairly heavy and I don't want to over do it right after transplanting, next feed before flower flip will be nice and full. I made up a pop bottle feeder to make life just a little easier where the plants are short. I was able to evenly distribute the feed mix throughout the entire pot.
Skunk #1 - Day 56
These plants are still impressing me, they didn't even flinch when they were transplanted and fed. They have really stiffened up now they they are mature, should hold up some colas nicely. Any deficiencies what we thought were happening on these have stopped. The light green markings on the edge of 1 plant have not gotten any worse and the lowest leaves I believe I just splashed with nute mix. All are a nice healthy green with the slightest of N toxicity just starting to appear, likely from the 1% N in the calimagic adding to the nutes.
Sundae Banana Cookies - Day 48
The lanky ladies have really shaped up over the last week it seems so I'm happy about that. For a quick run they might just impress me yet. Same as the skunks, any deficiencies seem to have let up and all leaves are a nice healthy green. I haven't seen any signs of pistils on these yet and nodes are still coming out side by side, regardless of maturity they will be flipped at the same time of course.
That's all we got again for today I believe. Lots going on and getting ready for the flower flip. Lots going on in my head too with having this new tent... Makes me really want to start something else over there since there's extra possibilities with the propagation area in the tent now compared to my shelf, I can start and grow things again while flowering. hmmm decisions... for another day haha. You'll know when something else happens I'm sure. Take care all and keep it green out there! Thanks for stopping by, your continued support keeps me going
