Nick Hardy & Co Graduation: Coco Co2 High EC: Grown in Thailand: Perpetual

More than 24 hours and they were all but one praying earlier. But looked rubbish and a little worried about some flying yellow and black beetle thing I saw flying so watered and sprayed with neam. Maybe damage on a couple of leaves but checked everything for mites and stuff and nada.

Any way they aren’t praying now but their colours seem to be converging. Some went paler but darkened up last hour or two since watering with the extra N Mag. I think though its another week to flip.

Tomorrow I’m adding an input fan in the door to the room. Air flow isn’t good enough. Then the environment will perfect. Rh won’t be a problem from now on. Really properly watered them and the trays got proper runoff on, plus the drainage leaks a little. A blessing in disguise. Pumps the Rh to 75% - the dehumidifier is off so in flower that’s an easy fix . Switch it on…

Other than that sketching designs for a little box grow. Think I have one idea I’m incorporating into the giant SIP for sure. Have some whacky SWICK - SIP ideas. They’ve been putting the pile foundations down for a new house about 10m/30ft away all day.

 Your new house by chance?

 

[NickHardy]

Nah. Like many round here some 30 something Russian guy.

Perlite pillars or more like chimneys

Just like here

A couple of days? Less, more, doesn’t matter. My read seems to have been right. They’re all, ok there’s two just waking up but they are going up too, ip and praying now. The greens a becoming deeper where needed and they are all bulking up. Tomorrow we’ll arrange them by height and do the irrigation service. I think flip next weekend. They’re powering up and the environment is perfect. Added a fresh air fan. Up high for some dryer air and increasing pressure for the room. The dehumidifier not troubled yet. I could pipe it into the dry room really easily. Its designed for 1000 sq/ft so way more than is needed. Kist needs a ceiling extractor fan, 4” duct and Y splitter. All in $50 installed. I know because I bought a ceiling duct fan by mistake today and had to return it - came with free install too.

The black backing diffuses the air down and mostly blocks light escape. I think the only reason it doesn’t is the black plastic isn’t thick enough to block all the light. Probably just coat it with aluminium foil tbh.

These were the problem three. The dark Strawberry middle back is full on perky now. The CBD Warlock just slow getting there as she’s pretty damn big already. Lovely promise there. Then the strawberry in the middle just a little slower but they have 5 hours more of lights today I reckon before they go out they’ll be having a party. Some averagely taken photos below. I’ll cover off strains next week. Its really only Strawberry and Indy, oh Tropicana Poison - the rest I can CTRL C and V from Solo journal mostly.

If I water tonight it will be a little lower than 5.8. Checked my BlueLab Ph pen and its been 0.1 high for at least a week. A 5.6 next girls, I do like tinkering the Ph, get those minors a little extra attention from time to time.

I can hardly wait until they're no longer motley!

Now with 90% less motley!

Rearranged them by height mostly, tried to keep the shorties all under one light, all looking OK now. There’s still the really ugly one, ai’ve hidden her at the back but she’s also the tallest. One little ‘un has some weird very pale, almost matt coloured leaves. Meh. The others all get a passing grade. Flip -7 Days I reckon.

I cannot find the ugly one they all look nice to me. When they get smoked do you label the bag as ugly one. I think not.

Very true Keith! She looks like none of the other plants of that strain, Seriotica. I think I’ll grab a clone off her just in case!

FTFY

I just watered and in 70% the time it takes for 60L I watered 120L

That’s ok. Coco/Hydro. Just wasted some nutes. The reason is new Netafim collars plus all the irrigation pipe cut to the same length. They’ll water in half the time and all run off at close to the same moment so I’ll get that 60L back and more over the coming weeks. Plus now I add a cleaning agent with every feed to prevent the salt build ups that block the collars. Good-o!

The shorties are growing but lacking green so the N-Mag went in again. I’m close to switching them to the Bloom mix anyway. There’s two more feeds left in the tank I reckon. When its gone its Bloom. Then flip. You can see the neatly wound up irrigation excess at the back. Really pleased with the whole room now.

Its been months and months. So many iterations. But reckon that’s it done. Just maintenance now.

Ooh yeah I over did something. Presumably the N and also they are out of gas since 11am. Diluted the remains of the nute tank by filling it back to 200L and then Ph’ing back to 5.8. Dropped the EC about in half obvs. Gave them 110L of this to push out as much of the previous as possible.

Think in an hour may put the remains of the tank through. Hopefully I’ve arrested the burn. The annoying plant if its not dead already is going downstairs. Have a beautiful Kali Mist to replace her. She’ll test the light height

 

[NickHardy]

These are good to flip any day now. All in spankingly good health. So glad I flushed the nutes down last night. The yellow tipping stopped totally overnight. They got the same weak ass stuff again this evening. That reflects about 14 plants, 2/3s the grow.

Midget corner. Middle left is lovely plant but maybe better a mother when she’s recovered. They’re all getting there but want more from them before flipping.

Miss Droopy from a few days ago is just beautiful. Colour in the photo doesn't do her justice.

That grow room looks fantastic with those healthy plants!

 

[KeithLemon]

Simply beautiful brother Nick.

 

[InTheShed]

That's going to look like a whole different place once & Co gets in there for the pre-flip trim!

 

[NickHardy]

Hahaha - yep you know the lady likes her blades!

Looking forward to see the structure on the Seriotica's (Indy's). I bought a pack myself for next run whenever that may be. Always fun to have first generation seeds in storage. Cheers bud!

I’ve seen (and grown) a lot of Seri
