Hi and welcome to my 2nd journal, in this journal I have added a few new things to the grow room by extending the air in with 8 inch ducting one side to the other with holes punched throughout in intervals and blocked at the end with cardboard to hopefully spread more air at the other side of the tent, a larger fan placed at the right hand side to blow across the canopy and another 600w HPS all my 3 lights are Sunmaster 600w dimmable ballasts, I have also set up small veg tent 1.2mx1.2m to hopefully have a turnaround every 10 weeks give or take.I also decided not to use the net this time just so I could rotate them.Some info for you on this next journey. I popped the seeds on the 6th of January they are wedding cake and gelato#41 from flavour chasers 100% germination using the soak in water for half a day or so and then damp paper towel between 2 plates for a few days, tap roots after a few days and then transplant the seeds with root facing downwards into small pots. As soon as it's head starts popping through the soil I pop them in a propagator (heated bottom) soil in the bottom and place pots inside and under a T5 light with 2 bulbs in trying to keep temps around 80-85f and then at 80%
Strain- wedding cake and Gelato#41
Veg around 4-5 month in on the 1st pics, seem to be stunting the plants early on not sure why
Indoor
Coco and pebbles
15l pots
3x600w dimmable HPS
These around 55-60 can't seem to get it any higher
Temps trying to keep it as close to 80f as I can but weather has been insane and temps got as high as the 90's some days
Ph- 5.8-6.2 and adjusting as and when if too high at run off
Feeding 2-3 times a week and also ph'd water some days
Canna Coco A+B 20ml/10l water
Rhizatonic 20ml
Cannazym 20ml
Calmag once a week at 20ml
I had topped them once and then lst to get them where they are today which is when I flipped them to flower, the photos below are the 2nd week of flower
Everything looking ok at this point some fast initial growth on some of the phenos,hoping to find a keeper of each and introduce some more flavours as I go along,hopefully keeping enough harvested until the next batch comes down, before these were flipped to flower cuttings were taken from the lower branches around 4 from each plant, so 40 in total and I'm hoping to run these a couple of crops and find at least one keeper pheno. Had another problem early doors with too much nutrient being backed up in the soil, so flushed them in a larger bucket with PH,d water and fed with a low feed when needed checking on a regular basis not to overfeed again.
The photos above are from week 3 also ran into some problems with my lights, found out I can not run all 3 lights any higher than on the 400w setting, i introduced a 3rd light in the middle at the start of this grow as not enough light was reaching the middle of the canopy.I have it plugged into a 2000w corded extension with a trip switch built in and if I keep 2 lights on 400w and knock one up to 600w 20 mins later and it's lights off as it keeps tripping the extension cord, so where staying at 400w across the canopy.
