Greetings From Northern Ontario: Getting Ready For First Grow

[Tommboy1973]

I figured since I haven't accidentally killed my kids or dog and named them all it would be a good sign. All named with an A for first grow. Will needs some good names for B.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Day 29. Moderate water at 6.6. Temp 24 50 percent humidity. I have noticed some brown creeping into a few leaves on 2 plants. The plant that is the smallest has it the worst. She should be the same size as the other larger plants, but she accidentally got severely topped.

 

[metcalfr]

Day 30. Temp 22.6C 60 percent. No water. Lifted plants from the floor 2 ft. Light at 120 watts 16 inches above tallest plant. One fan going through the pots and one for the tops.

 

[metcalfr]

Day 31. Temp 23.4 50 percent humidity. No h20. Day 32 t 23 60 humidity. Day 33 1L h20 approx 750ml each. Increased light to 70 percent, so approx 140 watts. Even Agnes is doing well. Lots of sites on Athena. Continuing LST.

 

[metcalfr]

Day 34 24C 60 %. No water. Day 35 24C 56%. No water. Continue LST. Moved pots around a bit to try to get plant to stretch in different directions for the light. Humidifier back on. I feel that the growth is starting to increase quickly. Going through water faster. Already pretty dry, but will wait one more day for water.

 

[metcalfr]

Day 36. T 24.3C 70 %. Water ph down to 6.3 with ascorbic acid. Humidifier shut off. Approx 1.2 to 1.5 L water per plant. Very light runoff. Might have only come from sides of the pots. Light defoliation. Plants were starting to droop so they got the water. Still have some brown in some larger leaves.

 

[metcalfr]

Day 37 24C 65 %. No water, but already look dry after one day. Day 38 24C 62%. I think the brown spots are calcium deficiency. Added 7ml cal mg to 5L water. Ph 6.7. Each plant took 1.5L and no runoff. Continue LST. Light defoliation. I think Athena is in preflower. She is the biggest plant, followed possibly by Aurora, which is 10 days younger, but got myco. I believe her stem is thickest.

 

[metcalfr]

Day 39 24C 70 % no water. Day 40 24C 65%. Water ph to 6.4. Approx 1.25 L each plant. Lights raised up to 18 inches above tallest plant and increased to 85% approx 175 watts. Light defoliation. Agnes is the only plant not yet in flower. She is the one that lost nearly 3/4 of the plant due to an LST accident.

 

[metcalfr]

Onto day 41. 24C 70% ph 6.4 1L water per plant. Will feed in a few more days. During LST Agnes took a shit kicking again and her stem split. Trying to fix the boo boo with an aloe plant that I have. I opened up a piece and put the pulp on the split. Curious to see what happens.

 

[metcalfr]

Day 42 23.5c 80%. Humidifier at 50%.. day 43 24.3c 70% ph 6.6 1.5L each with top dress of 444 1/8c each. Agnes got extra. 3/4 c worm castings 14 c 284.

 

[metcalfr]

Day 44 25c 70% ph 6.6. 1.5L each. Dehumidifier put in tent to 55%. Outer heater shut off. Day 45 24c 55% ph 6.5. 1.5L each.

 

[metcalfr]

Day 46 23.5c 55%. Day 47 25c 55% ph 6.4. 2L each. Defoliate. Day 48 happy 420. 23.5c 45%. Started making flowering tea. Will probably water later today. Agnes still has not flowered.

 

[metcalfr]

Day 49 23C 50% 2L tea each. Day 50 22.3C 61% no water. Day 51 22C 50% ph 6.4 1.5L each. Day 52 25C 55% no water. Day 53 22.5C 49% ph 6.5 1.5L each. LST. Agnes starting to flower. Several fan leaves are brown and crispy, especially on the tips.

 

[metcalfr]

Looks like I have some catching up to do. Day 54 24C 55%. No water. Day 55 26C 45% ph 6.4. 1.5L h20 with 10 drops calmag. Day 56 23C 55% ph 6.5. 1.5L h20. Orange brown in middle of some leaves. Old fan leaves have crispy brown on ends. New growth veins dark green with light yellow/green. Mg deficiency. Day 57 22c 50% ph 6.4 1.5L each added 2T epsom salt per gallon. Day 58 23.2C 48% 1T epsom per gallon as foliar spray and defoliate. Day 59 26C 43% ph 6.3. Last feed for 3 plants. Top dressing 2 8 4 quarter cup and 3/4c worm castings.

 

[metcalfr]

Wow. I'm a little behind. Day 74 I think. I am still Journaling. Room pretty much the same. 24C approx with 40 to 45 percent humidity. Water ph 6.4 to 6.6. 2.5 L of water each day. 3 of them I am flushing. The last one I figure has another month. That would be Agnes. The one that was the runt and that I accidently topped. I just fed her again. Quarter cup of 2 8 4 and a tablespoon of epsom salt and it looks like she is mg deficient. Bought a bigger tent. Using the old one for upcoming dry and them seedlings.

 

[metcalfr]

It is incredible to see the changes in the plants in only a couple of weeks.

 

[metcalfr]

Day 88 from seed. Increased watering to approx 3L per plant. Ph 6.5 to 6.6 temps 25C with one spike to 30C. Humidity 40 to 45 percent with one day dropping to 35 percent. Started flushing 3 plants last week. The last plant ( my biggest that I accidentally topped is about two times the size of my other plants) is Agnes. I fed her 4 tablespoons of 2 8 4 and 3/4 cup of worm castings last week. Still waiting for the amber to show. Any and all comments or thoughts are more than welcome. Thanks for getting me this far everyone.

I have a few blueberry kush and a white widow feminized photoperiods. Going to take a two month break and then do it all over again. What a blast.
