Rhetorrikz - LED Grow - Coco

[rhetorrikz]

12-20-15 : Here we go again ... lets see if we can pull this off.. temps around 82 lights on and anywhere around 95-105 lights off depending on the day . RH around 60-70% all 8 plants are in 2 gal coco hempys with 1-1.5" perlite res, the taller middle plants are about 3 weeks ahead of the smaller ones they were placed under the eshine led beside my other plants as they were finishing. I will do a current pic and update tonight as things have progressed a bit ;-)

Holly cr#p i was just looking over my first harvest numbers on page 4 and its gram for gram the same as the second harvest on page 8 wth. thats amazing lol

 

[rhetorrikz]

Ok feeds have been a constant 6.0ph 700ppm canna coco 20ml A, 20ml B, 20ml calmax to 10L tap water

Looking beautiful! Nice job on the DIY; and everything else!

What scope do you use for trichome checks? That last pic with it is pretty clear and those trichomes are the most milky I've ever seen!

 

[rhetorrikz]

thankyou versai, this is the scope, it clips to your phone over the camera eye

 

[rhetorrikz]

this is the plant over to the right, these plants in the center have been in flower the same amount of time.

i think there still 2 different pheno's. 1 gets right on with flowering and the other stretches more and flowering is slower to take off... could possibly be the heat to tho ?

 

[OttawaGreen]

Wow that one is a slow pheno!

 

[rhetorrikz]

Yep way to slow, she is now in the compost .
3 plants left and about 3 weeks left. Im looking forward to finishing these girls off and doing a better job pheno searching with the clones ... theres definatly a pheno that can handle the heat better

Funny.... usually the other way around.
I'm in... gotta deal with hellish heat too. I got your RH numbers beat... usually deep into the 90s during summer months.

 

[rhetorrikz]

Hey tead ! Ive been trying to keep as much air circulating as possible and im trying to keep the buds spaced apart with the tiewire, have you had trouble with mould or bud rot ?? Id hate to loose it now we're so close to the end.. ive started flushing , this time ph7 straight out of the tap i know we've talked about flushing and ph previously but this time im just being lazy .. lets see if they react differently ? im hoping for around 120g dry

 

[Tead]

I have no problems with mold or bud rot. I keep fans (yes, with an s) on them 24/7.
Some strains can be much more susceptible to mold or rot. I know that Durban Poison is known for heat/mold resistance.

 

[rhetorrikz]

Im happy, i mean harvest numbers are going to be down but looks like some good smoke.. after looking a bit closer im guessing there might be a bit more than i think

 

[Tead]

Ya know... I might have to pick up more LEDs just to get that cool purple coloring to my photos.
On the last shot... the trichs lined up on a fan leaf in almost perfect little rows. Sexy!

 

[rhetorrikz]

178g dry, turned out ok considering the heat.. well now we know what that does
Lets move on , clones are healthy after transplanting , they have about 60w each running 11hrs atm.

Feeding canna coco a 20ml , b 20ml , calmax 20ml / 10 litres 650ppm 5.9ph.
Temp is still up tho 85 lights on 100 lights off lets hope it cools down soon..
Ready for some lst

i can see some scars and swelling from super croping them a week or so back .. now preparing for stretch ..

 

[Tead]

I see a good bit of leaf margin (the saw tooth parts of the leaves) curling in the heat. I get a bit of spotting on the margin tips as well.
Kind of fun when the curled up margins get some sugar from the bud on them.... makes the leaf look extra thick and fuzzy.

hello

Congrats with harvest, looks deliscious and

8 days in now , took some clones today , been adding some pk13/14 in with the last 2 feeds also foliar sprayed some Amino-K to try out .. this is it

things are going ok i think the lst was good but i did stress them a bit by tidying up around their base , i removed all the tiny shoots that were not going to become strong limbs, temps seem to be slightly cooler maxed at 95 today

 

[rhetorrikz]

3/2

feed 20ml a, 20ml b,10ml pk13/14, 20ml cal max to 10l & ph6 750ppm. + a light spray of amino k

id like to cut nitrogen down a bit .. im not sure weather to cut down the base nutes or use a bit less cal max it has n @ 2.0.0 any tips here guys?

Ive spread the girls out a bit and moved my fav plant (front right) over the other side and cranked on the led so now theres just under 600 true led watts

 

[Stinky Snid]

Just breezed through your journal man, that's a nice space you've got going there. If this grow isn't over yet I'll be watching from here out.

Thanks mate welcome

I find at this point im always questioning myself about heat photosynthesis , transition to flower and the uptake of n.

Temps are around 85 lights on 95 lights off . I think excess heat effects photosynthesis not allowing the plants to use up all the nitrogen in there feed hense showing some clawing (plant over to the right) not 100% sure tho just my random thaughts , ive read that heat emphasis issues like n toxicity.. so i know i need alot of cal mag with the leds and coco but i think ill half the amount for a while and see if a deficiency starts to show?
About 16 days of 11/13 now and transition to flower just seems slow too me ? Could be an led thing ? And probably heat too.. How are others going with transition to flower under leds?
