LKABudMan's Orange Grove - 4 Mimosa x Orange Punch In RDWC - Sponsored By VIVOSUN

Holy Moly what a trim! They did the damn thing! That's dope that yall can get together family-style in the green room. That bonding time, like snapping green beans at the kitchen table with Grandma. The Good stuff.
On my first grow they each adopted a plant and took care of it through the end. They help water, prune, chop and harvest (oh, and smoke ;) ). They're probably the reason my grows look so good, because I have two other people looking in with different perspectives.
Wow that's clean, shouldn't have any rh issues now.
Glad to see you have help. :thumb:
Garden looks great.
Take care.

Stay safe

Thanks Bill. I hope you're right, but these girls grow so quickly you never know. Let's see how they look next week :rofl:

Watching other growers do everything by themselves keeps me from taking my help for granted. Luckily, they enjoy it as much as I do :)
 
Date: 8/31/22 - Day# 17 of Flower
Strain - Barney's Farm Mimosa x Orange Punch photo clones x 4
Grow space - VIVOSUN 48x48x80 tent in basement
Light height and reading - VIVOSUN VSF6450 645w LED @ 100% 14 Inches away - 60-70k LUX
Extraction - 6" extraction fan
3x 6" oscillating fans + Tower oscillating fan + 12" floor fan
Nutrients - Advanced Nutrients M+G+B, B-52, Big Bud, Bud Candy, Purpinator, Voodoo Juice, Pirhana, Hydroguard, z7
Medium - 8" Netpots with clay balls in RDWC system (5x13g buckets)
Water - Carbon-filtered well water (100ppm/8.0pH)

The basement dehumidifier is working well now and the tent VPD is on point. It's staying at 1.2-1.4 with no problem, with highs close to 80f and RH around 58% during the day. Between that and the new VSF6450, these ladies are really eating! They drank 5 gallons in one day again.

The PPMs spiked after their last feeding, so they're just getting water for now. I can see the pH starting to trend lower, which happens when they're flowering and consuming more Potassium & Magnesium (Cations). So I'm skipping the pH down in my well water, which adds carbonates to help buffer the res and keep the pH from falling. By doing this I usually don't need to add pH UP.

Other than that, I've just been watching these ladies flower. You can tell they're loving the new @VIVOSUN VSF6450. They're praying up to the light and getting quite a bit of frost on the leaves. The edges and corners are still what I would like them to be, but a lot better than they were a week ago. With the VPD in point and pushing the light and nutes, I'm getting excited to see what these ladies can do. I love the look of the flowers already, those pistils look huge!








There's still a few branches that won't make it to the canopy so we'll do a little more chopping soon. I don't want them to take energy that could go to the top buds. It's time to start growing and fattening some those buds!

Eye-popping growth BudMan!
And the way you just laid that horizontal fan across the buckets is a lazy man's move that I just have to cheer. :bravo:

Thanks for noticing that @Grand Daddy Black I was going to mount it somehow, but it worked out so well there. It's blowing right up through the canopy. I'll always take the easiest approach (lazy way) if I can!

Spectacular scenery
 
Thanks @GreenFingaz These were clones, vegged for 38 days (5w3d) and were were in transition for another 12 days. Flower started at day# 50. Next time I'll flip at 4 weeks.
Cool man I just wondered because of the thickness on them stalks lol pure trees

Yea that's hydro. They're thick and getting ready to hold some weight :) I also feed Silica (Stout MSA) through veg.

Stacking and Packing, WoW what a garden. :yahoo:
That canopy is perfect, tutorial? Hehe.
Hope everything is going well Amigo.
Take care.

Thanks @Bill284 and congrats on the GJOTM win, although I think most of the credit goes to Howie:rofl:
Have a great day.

So we finished chopping on these ladies last night. There were still a surprising amount of branches that weren't going to make it to the canopy. Even some of the 'main' branches were chopped if they were too short. We kept only the strongest and best buds. There's still a few buds that won't make the canopy, especially in the corners. I'm going to roll with what I have now, though. It's getting too hard to do anything in there without touching the buds.








I've just been adding water to the res lately, trying to keep it under 3 EC (1500ppm). These ladies are definitely drinking more, averaging over 3G/day, with an occasional 5G/day! As soon as they go below 3 EC (1500ppm), I'll add another batch of fresh nutes.

Coming into the end of week# 3 of flower and it's time to put these ladies on cruise control. I'm done chopping and messing with the canopy, it is what it is. Now I just need to make sure these ladies have enough nutes and the right VPD to take advantage of this awesome light!






Have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend everyone!
