New Moon Over Guawi: A High Brix Journey

[dajerm119]

Thanks buddy

Honestly this is the first time I have attempted the Far-Red Thing so I'm still experimenting.
Not even sure if its a good idea to use from the start like I just did, could be a reason the GDP
has jumped a Grade and also could be why the Guawi is struggling ?

Anyway your going to be using LED light and I believe they can be hung in any direction so
maybe just hung from tent roof but pointed towards the plants from the back of tent, basicaly
tilting your Z Axis CNC Machining thing
If you did position it this way you need to leave room for fan venting ?

Yes sir, it has vents all the way around the sides and on top. But I could keep it off the wall somehow.

Thanks Gazoo!

If you hang it down the back and only hook to the top corner posts they usually hang at a
nice natural angle but if not another separate hanger attached to a bottom post can set the angle

Am I the only one scared to put electronics near magnets? Is that not a thing anymore. I just keep thinking about the old TV's that would mess up if you put a magnet on them.

Glad you built the plant spinner before I could ask you what the hell you were talking about

Nope not the only one, I wondered about the magnet field and electronic thing myself, I know it can/will mess
up distort a Monitor video signal but not sure how it would effect simple led power Seems to be working fine
for now

Yup the Spinner was hard to explain so figured the pictures would help

 

[Gazoo]

Since I was also curious about the effect of a Magnetic field on LED Output

Here is a interesting study on the effects
Does not look to effect it

Led Magnetic Study Conclusion

Another
Abstract
The experimental results on the performance of the Metal/Resistor/Semiconductor (MRS) photodiode in the strong magnetic field of 4.4 T, and the possible impact of the quench of the magnet at 4.5 T on sensor's operation are reported. In addition, the experimental results on the performance of the extruded scintillator and WLS fiber, and various LEDs in the magnetic fields of 1.8 and 2.3 T, respectively, are detailed. The measurement method used is being described. The results of the work agree with the expectations that the LED, MRS and scintillator are not exhibiting sensitivity to the magnetic field presence. This result is essential for the design of the future electron–positron linear collider detector.

I have it ...... you are going the wrong way with the plant spinner. Get that centrifuge spinning good and the resin will all run to the buds on the end.... LOL

LUNAR GARDENING
BY
The WAXING and WANING Moon Phase



​

Ute York, in her book “Living by the Moon” says:


“The old-time gardeners say, “With the waxing of the moon, the earth exhales. ” When the sap in the plants rise, the force first goes into the growth above ground. Thus, you should do all activities with plants that bear fruit above ground during a waxing moon. With the waning of the moon, the earth inhales. Then, the sap primarily goes down toward the roots. Thus, the waning moon is a good time for pruning, multiplying, fertilizing, watering, harvesting, and controlling parasites and weeds”

EDIT: You know I can read the above two ways ?

Is it saying ITS DIFFERENT for FRUIT BEARING PLANTS
and all activities with fruit bearing plants SHOULD be during a WAXING MOON ?

EDIT EDIT:
OK Looks like I had it right the first time

"The first phase, from the new moon through the first quarter moon, is considered a particularly fertile and moist time and is an ideal time to plant new seeds or take cuttings from existing cannabis plants. During the second phase when the moon is waxing, from the first quarter moon to the full moon, plants experience increased growth.

When the moon cycles from full through the last quarter, the third phase, moisture levels reach their peak. It’s not recommended to plant anything during this time. From the last quarter through the new moon, the fourth and final phase, the moon is waning and growth energy is pulled down into the roots of the plants. During this time, general maintenance is recommended. Also, it’s a good idea to check the soil and perhaps water plants, as moisture levels drop as the moon begins to wane."

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
Planting information
moon-based planting calendars suggest sowing seeds for crops that yield an above ground harvest when the moon is increasing (going from new moon to full moon). Root crops, on the other hand, are best planted during the waning moon (going from full moon to new moon).

Them old time gardeners lives depended on them plants in the garden. I would bet there is some truth to it.

DUNKING the GUWAI
MOON PHASE
WANING GIBBOUS

TODAY JULY 31
@ Lights On
​

TODAY - Tuesday, July 31, 2018

The Moon today is in a Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with a illumination of 50%. The average Moon rise for this phase is between 9am and Midnight depending on the age of the phase. The moon rises later and later each night setting after sunrise in the morning. During this phase the Moon can also be seen in the early morning daylight hours on the western horizon.

Since I just finished the DUNK on the GUAWI and I wanted to get this info
logged before I forget

SQUARE ROOT MAKER POT
1 gal Root Maker
DRY WEIGHT Filled with Pro-Mix = 23.7 oz

MAX LIQUID WEIGHT that can be Added = 46.2 oz
or Approx 5 3/4 cups (46.2 div by 8 = 5.775 cups)

LET POT DRY TO 33.5 oz (approx 1.25 cups) H20 left in pot and did not notice any wilt

Main point being I can let the pots DRY to 1.25 cups left in pot with NO Issue.
I am glad I did this since I would have dunked the guawi like 5 or 6 days ago.
The Hardest thing I have done in the last week has been to HOLD OFF on the DUNK.

EDIT: I Now Have the BASE LINE to calculate the exact amount of TP and TEA I just
put into the pot but sleepy so will post it tomorrow

END SEEDLING STAGE

VEG DAY 1
1st DUNK for GUAWI

Day 18 from Germination Dunk
15 DAYS from POP
1 GAL Pot weight 33.5 oz
(approx 1.25 cups H2O left in pot)


DUNK DRENCH AMOUNTS
12 CUPS H20 with 0.5 Ounce TP + 0.25 ml Tea
​

10:00 PM Lights On, Prepare GUAWI for 1st DUNK

Weigh Guawi = 33.5 oz BEFORE Dunk ( Minus Dry weight 23.7) Leaves 9.8 oz liquid still in pot

TP DUNK DRENCH @ 0.5 Ounce TP and 0.25 Ml Tea ( HEAVY 1ST FEEDING )

............HEAVY FEEDING -- NOT A RECOMMENDED FEEDING AMOUNT -- HEAVY FEEDING
HEAVY Dunk ONLY being USED FOR 1ST Dunk. i will explain my reasoning here. Since its been stated
many times, Its very Hard to OVER DOSE the plants with this product, and WHEN i have seen
Plants struggling at the start THE FIX Nearly every-time is RESCUE or SUPER DRENCH. i decided
LAST GROW to help out the soil by doing it before its needed (cant hurt remember) I want to
MAKE SURE when VEG Starts everything needed is available. OK back to My Process

ACTUAL AMOUNTS
With Run-off calculations

EXACT AMOUNTS ADDED​

Some Math to calculate TOTAL Product added

Started with pot weighing @ 33.5 ounces ( 9.8 oz of that was is added LIQUID weight still in pot)

I used exactly 12 cups of H2O to DUNK Into and was left with 6.75 LIQUID Cups left over. This
means I added 5.25 cups of product, just a tad over 44% (44% of 12 cups = 5.28)

SO
44% of 0.5 Ounces of TP was Added to Pot

MATH
29.5735296 ML in an Ounce DIVIDED by 2 = 14.786764 x 44% =
6.5061761 ML TP Per Gal of soil added to pot

Using the same Math
I used 2.5 ml in the 12 cups of Drench so
2.5 ml added to 12 cups H2O x 44% =
1.1 ml Added to 1 gal pot
(A lot more than my plan to use 0.2 ml per gal this run)


BTW Last run I was going with 1.5 mil per gal of soil during the entire grow (much easier to calculate)
This run I may pick it up to 2.0 ml per gal of soil. Anyway back on track, looks like I added 3x normal does
of my plan as the HEAVY 1ST DUNK

DAY 1 VEG Pictures later tonight

13th - Dropped seeds at 11:30 am
.........Used 1 gal Sq & Rd Starter Pots, 1st run w 1" straight promix on top.
.........Dunked Pots in STRAIGHT CLEAR H20 used Revers Osmosis water.
.........Placed each seed approx 1/2 inch deep with pointed end up,
.........this position will insure the seed does not waist energy re-orientating itself
.........I forgot to use "ROOTS" powder when planting

15th - GDP Broke ground with HUSK still completely around top
.........she just grew up straight with hat on all day (not counting this as starting)
.........Calling POP date from the 16th since that's when I took the husk off

START DATE

16th - GUAWI Broke ground No hat just green lobes
.........since the Guawi was now up I removed the Husk on the GDP
.........WITHIN a 1/2 hr she open with Green Lobes. Just a little damage
.........to one small lobed leaf end. Did not look to miss a beat so
.........thinking I pulled it off in time.

19th - July 1st Quarter Moon - Reference Date -

23rd - DAY 7 from POP or 1 Week Seedling - Reference Date -
......... Added 1-2 Ounce Clear H2O top water Dribble to both
......... to help keep roots growing in all areas of pot top and bottom.

24th- DAY 8 from POP
......... Added 1.5 Ounce Dribble to both plants
......... Did this since I was going to DUNK and decided NOT TO
........Rather than throw all the UN-used DUNK water that I had added TEA too,
........I went ahead and did another top dribble.

26th- DAY 10 from POP
......... GUAWI got another top dribble since I was
......... trying to stretch the dry cycle to match up with the GDP
......... Added 1.0 Ounce Dribble to GUAWI ONLY
......... ALSO did a plant rotation, Moved GDP to the right side now

27th- DAY 11 from POP - July FULL MOON Reference Date -
........Added 1.0 Ounce Dribble to GDP ONLY

28th- DAY 12 from POP
......... Lowered GUAWI from 12" below to 14" below the MH

29th- DAY 13 from POP
......... Lowered GDP to same level as GUAWI @ 14" below the MH

30th- DAY 14 from POP -
........FIMMED GDP ONLY
......... Lowered BOTH GDP & GUAWI to 16" below the MH

31st- DAY 15 from POP
......... GUAWI got 1st DUNK using a HEAVY FIRST dunk amount
......... Added 0.5 Ounce TP + 2.5 ml TEA to 12 cups H20
......... Result after Calculations
........REALLY ADDED 6.5061761 ml TP & 1.1 ml TEA

END OF SEEDLING STAGE
Next up-date, VEG STAGE, will Continue from here.

Thanks,
Exactly my hopes, This is my extra note book in case I drop it in the water bucket
Sometimes I wonder if its TOO MUCH INFO

Awesome update!

Thanks buddy I try to make it easy on the eyes but not sure how it looks on a DUMB ASS / SMART PHONE

I see a future JOTM here Gazoo! Great info brother!

 

[Gazoo]

Thanks Van, I hope its not to much as mentioned earlier I use this as my NOTE BOOK
so I tend to add the information as I research and learn. Sometimes I feel Its over the top
but know if I dont add all the details I wont remember them later

Thanks again
