DK's Pub & Grow

[Dkmg01]

OK so ordered this one... Is it fine?

 

[Dkmg01]

Seems that P#6 is full into flower...

We had a nice day of rain yesterday. We really needed it as it is so dry...
So it was the girls' first shower and I was nervous that the wind would knock em over.

My goodness she is tall... Would some pruning help to even her out? I don't want to. Do unnecessary damage but she does have 6 stalks bigger than the rest and reaching to the sky.

I am starting to consider to flower them earlier.

No real reason I can see to prune ... unless you've got height restrictions.

If that's the case, you can always super-crop those few stragglers that are popping up over the rest. Just give tge stem a gentle pinch (level w/canopy), then gently bend the branch down flat to the canopy.

Works great..... in a pinch.

Nice one haha!

It's not so much restrictions just don't want a too tall plant cause it will double in size when I flower

If it's still vegging, you could always top & do a little LST on the lowers to open her up & force horizontal growth.

My apologies... I thought you had flipped already. I try to avoid cutting on my plants about 20 days after flip.

I try to adhere to a "hands off" policy once they start budding. LoL

It's only the small one that's flowering yeah.

Hmm OK I was thinking of pruning or super cropping so they all even

 

[InTheShed]

No reason to supercrop outside except to increase the number of budsites, as the sun doesn't care about an even canopy. And if you try flipping that indoors now I hope you're in a barn. That looks like it's going to stretch through most roofs!

Is that its final pot? If so, you might be watering every day in flower .

Mr shed!! Great to see you again. OK then maybe I should prune before flipping cause I have to agree with you there! I'm already watering everyday bu I remember that in flower they drink loads more... Thanks hmm I'm now unsure what to do

 

[Dkmg01]

I can also repot to a bigger 7 gallon pot I have available.

Hehehe, won't that give the beanstalk room to expand? I see that you took a look at my journal today. You see what I am doing there. I do want to maximize bud sites and keep the plants low so that they do not become conspicuous. I find this string good because it usually snaps if the plant is being pulled too much, and the bows are adjustable ties. I can move the clips to redirect the branches as more potential bud sites appear. How about you try it with one and see what happens. You see my Chronic Ryder... you were interested a week ago when the training began. This plant is loving breathing as you can see. Happy days. Any rain your side yet?

HI yes we had a whole day yesterday with rain was so lovely. We expecting again next week a few days.


Quick question to everyone I'm unsure if I should change the nutes for the auto flower P#6 to bloom nutes
She seems to have done her stretching.


@InTheShed
I did some super cropping. I see you did say so this morning but I unfortunately bent them just before reading your message. Shit! Oh well she looks a helluva lot better now. I'm going to push as hard as possible to finish this damn box so that it can be used. I will leave the auto outside and try and flower the "beanstalk" sativa... Thanks for the name @CarmenRay.

 

[Backlipslide]

If she’s in flower, I would absolutely give her some flowering nutes!!

You got it sir! I will mix up a separate batch for her!

Could ways pull them down onto the metal frame so they flatten out some and you will get more secondary branching catch up with the top. And more sun. They look great dk

 

[Lerugged]

Didn't read the end lol

 

[Dkmg01]

Didn't read the end lol

Thank you sir! Loving the fact the grew so much so quick. I definitely want to try it indoors and see the difference. For now it's outside. I have a nice difference between just topping and lst. I'm enjoying the LST as it's actively fun to train everyday!

(In my best David Attenborough impression)

DK's box... Once a few boards and scattered items of a store... Now... A remarkable collected unit... She is getting ready for the long winter months... It's is now.. More than ever her duty to build her winter coat and prepare herself for a busy set of cold months...

Purple haze...

It has been a full two months since she was born and yet.... She has shown full maturity and and is now ready to find a mate and prepare for the next generation... This is easy to identify as she has finally shedded her last coat and gained her white warm fur wrapped around her roots ready for comfort as she offers her flowers. It is a wonderful 7 gallon...

This year she is unlucky the males have not stayed in the region they once dominated.




This process is usually easy and not so messy. I was not prepared for her holding the bottom so much and be the exact size in diameter. She got stuck and yeah... Oh well I know she will bounce back from all the stress. For now I'm just measuring and asking if the space is sufficient. I do plan on adding a net and Bend all the tops under them to make more of a canopy. OK well this is by all means only if you guys agree haha. After about 2
1 week I'll start playing around. I need the box breathing first then light leak free cause the door is still letting light through.


Anyways I choose to put her in here cause I can put her on the timer cause I know I will forget about the times or get busy...

Anyways as always like my old thread says. I'm always open to advice!
Anyways

 

[Dkmg01]

OK so I haven't really done a major update. More like a series of random things...

Lux meter one my phone under each light says...

1. Grow light 9w - 2450 lux about 10cm away each
2. White light 6500k - 8600 lux 10cm away.

So is this good is this bad. I think j need to go back to my old journal as I feel I still need to learn so much more before I have a dedicated new grow journal.

I'm dialing in now and it's so hard I don't know why but I can get lower than 26.5°c at night. During the day that will definitely be over 27°c so that's too much...

Please do ignore the wiring. I have a few extenders on the way soon. I will split the fans and lights too...

At the moment I need to make light proof vent boxes... So that's not too hard I guess as my current blocks a fair amount but not nearly all of it... Any ideas please through them at me...

Who owes t love a lil purple lights...

Ok these are definitely not enough at all. Maybe for the previous box yes but now now... Shit...
So there is thet light I did order though its 300w... Is that enough for 2 maybe 3 plants at the absolute max... But let's just say 1m Deep x 1.2m Wide x 1.9m High...

P#6 Is flowering alright... She is starting to smell! Time to mix that batch we spoke about... Lil does of cal mag and flower mix 1.3.17. So this worked well last time so I think on the late auto it will do well!

I will not be re-potting her as from the last repot ting I can see she definitely has enough space and I hear that it's bad to repot an auto.

OK so I can now see the dominance taking over. The younger oneshave really shot up. Even my grandmother said it shot up so quick.

No smell really.

As I'm typing this and Temps are 26.1°c. I need about 24 or so degrees.

Here is some great info on lux for the different stages of growth for indoor lighting:

How to Use a Lux Meter to Increase Cannabis Yields - RQS Blog

Among pH testers, loupes, and refractometers, lux meters are a useful tool cannabis growers can harness to ensure optimal plant productivity and health.

And if nothing else, I would put a long strip of tinfoil along the length of each of the light tubes. 50% of your light is going up!

 

[Backlipslide]

Nice job with the box brother! I concur with shed, build yourself some sort of a light shield, directing the light where you want it!
