Hey guys and girls I hope everyone is doing ok and getting through this absolute nightmare of an existence we have all been stuck in these last few years.
Apologies in advanced for any grammar and spelling mistakes I am not the most academic person and have dyslexia so this sort of thing is a little tricky for me, this is also my first attempt at a journal.
I am 42 and live in the South East of the UK, I started to get in to growing when my wife was diagnosed with MS (Multiple sclerosis) and have since been finding my way with help from this amazing place and people. My wife benefits immensely from using Cannabis I also get great relief for my anxiety and depression that manifested over the years bringing up my amazing Son who unfortunately has a very rare chromosome condition called STXBP1 and low functioning autism / dyspraxia / hyper mobility/ ADHD. If only I could use this amazing plant for him and not just the CBD Paste we are allowed to use legally here in this backwards country I call home, anyway thats a totally different subject all together, Don't get me started........
This will be my 12th or so grow but my first with this light setup, I was using a 400w Sun Master HPS before and now using a Telos Pro 10 Mesh LED
Breakdown of everything
Strain - Forbidden Fruits (My first time growing this strain but from what I have seen it is a very nice indica with an incredible array of terpenes and looks very pretty) these are feminised seeds.
Genetics - Cherry Pie / Tangie
Flowering Time - 7 / 9 weeks
Indica / Sativa - 70% Indica 30% Sativa
They were started off in small pots then transplanted over to the Superoots Air Pots ( I think they are 5L but cant remember, every time I poor the water in to check it pours out, stupid holes)
Medium - Soil BioBizz All Mix
Nutrients are all the Biobizz Range and I am sticking to there amounts every other water, So one with Nutrients and one with just plane water, both at 6.2 PH
Biobizz products used - Grow - Bloom - Heaven - Top Max - ActiVera - Microbes
Light is a Telos Pro 10 Mesh, running 24/7 this was set to 200 PPF and I have slowly increased it to 420 as the plants have grown, it will eventually be set to 750 for flower in the coming weeks. the hight I have them set seems to be ok according to Telos’s information and guide. I tend to do LST and pull them down as they grow so hopefully I can keep the perfect distance through out. Telos recommends the following, Seedlings = 120CM from top of plants, Vegetative = 100CM and Flower = 80CM
I have two fans Running one is to move the water on the sponge ( don’t worry it gets a good clean every two days so no mould hopefully ) this is an attempt at brighting the RH up to a respectable level it has worked a little but I am still struggling to get and keep it above 50%, even tho I have the intake and exhaust set very low I am still struggling, the other fan is just indirectly moving the air and leaves off the plants the temps in the tent are between 22 / 25 and Rh 40 / 45 / 50.
So far they have only had one water in the current pots and that was with nutrients with a PPM of 800 and PH off 6.2 unfortunately they have been a little upset since the transplant but they seem to be perking up ok.
I will try and do updates at the minimum of once a week but will endeavor to do it more often if life allows me too. I hope you guys can offer support as and when I need it and that you find this grow interesting, it will be fun trying out this new light and strain with you all.
Below are some Photos, thanks for reading and If you have any question or if i have missed anything off please ask.
