Redemption Journal - Two Buckets - Two Lights - One Cab

Taped it up just because it split the outer skin a bit. The soil plants were looking terrible so we dropped em outside with the hopes they don't mysteriously die...

She looks pretty bad but we will see if she gets on and loses those leaves

Somehow forgot to take a picture of the Sour Banana Sherbet. Next time I'll be sure to get one. ''Tis all for now, here's what's left in great white cab

Still gotta hit it with the vacuum quick. Peace
 
This NL is a beast all of a sudden. She needs a nice defoliation but she needs to be flipped too. She filled out the cab already width wise and now she needs to get taller lol the stretch will do that for us. Will flush with plain water overnight with an extended dark period and we will start flowering nutes tomorrow.

Do you all think its better to give the plants a dark period before flipping to flower? I am about to flip tomorrow and with this being the first ever grow I don't have any idea the best way to transition. Any comments or advice will be welcome.

From our understanding the transition happens when the dark period lasts twelve hours. There will be hormones building up that when they accumulate over the twelve hour period it knows to start making flowers. We are going to try out a little trick of giving her a nice dose of dark to see if she flips any faster. That in combination with bud blood and we will hopefully see pistils in less than ten days. At least in theory, it should.
 
Bet it was a good bedtime med! .

It absolutely was lol the first time we tried it I woke up at some sick hour of the morning still on the couch watching tv. Lost track of time even though we journaled the grow. This time around we will get the timing down better and hopefully do a longer flush to draw some of that chlorophyll out. We wanna see some proper autumn colors!
 
Thats my problem is trying to get temps and rh right for drying. Sweet Sue mentioned putting your bud in a jar witha screen top and out it in a fridge. Cool temps and low RH

What temp do they recommend for drying and curing? I haven't even gotten that far in my research!
 
The trick is to let it dry as long as possible, a week would be a reasonable time to dry before jarring. So cool temps and moderate ph. I think fridges are like around 40f and low 30's for rh. Low 70's or high 60's would be ideal for most of us.
 
The rh was very low in our house and usually is. We just got a whole room humidifier and rh is much better. We didn't mind it because we were flowering but it sucks drying in less that 30% humidity it dried way too fast.

We blended up a nice batch of transitioning blend nutes got some very light sensi bloom a and b, a little bud blood and voodoo as well as hydroguard. Just put her into darkness lights will come on 10am and off at 10 pm and we will be on our way! The roots look fantastic, lol

That aero setup cranks out the roots awesome though you probably gotta coil em up around the bottom lol. This is the first one at this stage in a five gal our other two harvests were in 3.5 gallon buckets. It's good enough for veg but by the time flower comes around we can't fit all that much water in the Rez and it's empty in two days. As long as they are drinking they are doing their "yob" lol
 
Yep i top off the buckets daily, the biggest issue is supplying enough oxygen. Thats why the ac is coming saturday, cool them down and get more oxygen in the water.

So if this was your first grow, would you simply switch to 12/12 or would you do a day or two of dark and then switch?
