RQS Critical x2: Photos In Veg 90 Days, Just Flipped

[Rexer]

Sweet garden Bud, love those trichs at such an early age...she's gonna be something awesome to see finished!

 

[dick23rk]

Thank you buddy
Appreciated as always
Yey on the MANTIS mate. It’s real nice. Dick1 almost looks as lush as your girls.
Might just get some more in for a little pick me up tonic for the rest of them
Depending on wether Mike gets back with something that is.
I’ll call the future Mantis ladies Mike, if we can get a bit of deal on
Peace to ya

Not sure if you'll get a deal being in the UK. Mostly due to the fact that the product is sold to a distributor (company you bought it from) and they would have to put a sale on or give you a deal. But you never know lol.

What I do know is that it's working great for you and I'm glad you're happy with it. The simplicity really helps with time in the garden when you use it for every plant.

Hey there mate , that little fella is the old dog Alfie, 9 yr old Cav, poor bugger paraliesed on the left side of his face now. He can’t blink so we’re constantly following him with eye drops.. he doesn’t seem to give a s**t still happy as can be
Hope the moves goin smooth for y’all matey. if I could, I’d treat you to my canna rhubarb crumble with a bit of hot custard.
I’m afraid alls I can do is wish you well while I scoff up

 

[Bud Love]

Hey people
Hope your lovin it(Life, that is)
Got a ton to catch up on, but not today
The Rh has been mental in the tent.. up to 90% 2 nights ago.
The girls and ladies where due a feed yesterday, but I’ve had to wait on a dehumidifier arriving. Thankfully it turned up early eve .
The big girls are looking thirsty but everything gonna have to wait til the Moro when I can get it all set up.
Only one with issues is diesel 3 still.. couple of tent pics till then too.
All the young’ns look ace

Hi all
Hope the worlds treating you well?

ive had 2 critical photos in veg for the entire cycle of a few autos.
ive recently flipped em’ and would like to start a grow diary if I may?

RQSeeds.. 2xCritical
3mx1.2x2 orca lined loft tent
Platinum 1200 fs led/ 2x 1200mm street light.
12/12
Coir/a few clay pebbles
38ltr air pots

day temp. 24/28 c
eve temp. 11/14 c
Humid. 43%+

Canna bio flores. 2ml/ ltr
Magne-cal. 1.5 / ltr
Canna boost 1ml/ ltr
Ph. 5.7
Ec. 1.6
6ltr feed every other day.

I have kept a written diary of dates re potted etc
Both girls looking good as far as I can tell, but, they’re bigger than anything I’ve grown so far.
And alls ive grown so far are autos.
Had a couple of issues with yellowing leaves on my creatively named ‘Critical 1’ lady. So I added an extra call mag only watering, ph’d to 6.1 and things appear to be picking up.
Unfortunately I’m unable to get either of the ladies to any natural light. pics are best I can do sorry.

I’m waiting on a co2 supplement to be delivered in the next day or 2.
I’ve read that adding co2in the first couple of weeks of flowering is the optimum time. Any truth to this?
Critical 1 furthest away.


As always any help or advise really appreciated
Peace an love
Bud

Well.. peeps , hope your all singin an dancin today.? An havin a good’n

This little lady isn’t that’s for sure..shes even got the fungus gnats hanging themselves off her..

as you can see.. I haven’t caught hold of and stopped in it’s tracks..anything here...
I gave her a flush recently and maybe cocked up a bit on the after care.
Another theory is that she didnt need a flush and was just crying for more nutes.
Ok.. regarding the flush, it wasn’t a full flush, I ran 5 gal of phd water through and then gave a lighter feed for a day or 2.
This flush has highlighted another problem for me in the tent as well.. which is %Rh.. the tent would house 6 happy plants in 7gal pots , leaving enough room for me to admire and tend them without burning my head repeatedly However. I’m a greedy little boy and I’ve got 9 in there.
Whilst the 6 young’ns were not taking on much water we were at 50% Rh or there about.. since the flush. And now that the veggie girls are a little more demanding , the %rh is now averaging 80%, even into the 90’s..
That’s high for the veg never mind the buds.
With that kind of explained, I tried to combat the Rh issue by giving no water until I got a de humidifier in there.
unfortunately, I don’t think that was the after care diesel 3 required. The equipment took longer to get here than expected, and I think the drying of the medium went on too long and helped accelerate what ever was going on.
Theory 1.. she needed a flush and I cocked up on the after care trying to fix another prob?
Theory 2.. she didn’t
This girl has straight from the get go, been in a hurry compared to the other 2.
she’d be standing a foot taller than the others if she wasn’t bent over a bit. Also 2 wk behind.
So could it be that I just didn’t keep up with her needs ? As her metabolism( or whatever plants have) was just burning up more nuts at a faster rate, she had the same treatment as the others she just started showing deficiencies.
I really appreciate the time and effort peeps, sometimes you’ve just got to make a call and hope for the best..
Alls not lost for this girl prob increased her time in flower and lessened my yield, but,we shall see.
Here’s a shot of Diesel 1 for comparison.

Hope it’s a good weekend for y’all.
peace an buds ya ya

This is what I’ve done to help keep the Rh down( I think)
Raised all the cloth pots off the floor of the drip tray by about 100mm using an old dismantled dog cage.. got it sitting on some Ansio de humid cartons, plus .. G.a.s rvk fan with a 100mm diffuser attached blowing around the bottom of pots.Plus the addition of the ProBreeze De humidifier.

I read your writeup before I looked at the pictures. Based on what you were saying I expected to see something really bad. Not the case at all! You don't look like you're in terrible shape to me. Just a little maintenance. The buds look great. Except that one plant it looks fine. Your RH was obviously way too high, and this should be an excellent fix I would think. The humidity being that high *might* have something to do with those yellowing leaves maybe? Anyway, I don't have much to add to help I don't think except I can tell you how I fixed my fungus gnat problem on my first grow. I basically did three things: 1. Let all the pots dry to the bone. 2. Sprinkled a pretty heavy (1/8") layer of cinnamon on top of all the soil in all my pots. They hate cinnamon. It will keep the live ones from laying more eggs and it will make the emerging ones coming out of the soil very unhappy. 3. I put one of those sticky fly catcher carboard tube things horizontally across the top of the pot on each plant, so the emerging gnats would fly up and immediately hit the fly catcher thingie, and I also spread several around the tent walls. I probably had ten in there. After about five days I had zero fungus gnats and they didn't come back. Just my experience for what it's worth. Good luck. You will figure it out.

Hope your havin a good weekend
Yeah , on the drying out of them and yeah on the the sticky pads.. but cinnamon.. sitting atop a very blowy plant pot.
Thank you for taking the time I appreciate your help muchly.
but this time, I’m with the gnats on cinnamon,, it’s one of the only spices that I dislike intensely.. I wouldn’t be able go back in the tent afterwards.
I have seen you post about cinnamon before, but I thought you were fuc*ing about, think you where in a chat about riding goats and playing scrapple? At the time?
peace to ya

Lmao. I hear ya man, cinnamon is like some other spices where you either like it or hate it, totally get that. For the record, I didn't make the cinnamon thing up, I found it online after much research into how to get rid of fungus gnats. A lot of people use it successfully and it can't hurt your plants. It's just the tent will smell like cinnamon for a few weeks. But it's not really dust sitting on the soil as you just apply it right after you water so you put it onto moist soil. It sort of binds enough to the soil that I had a ton of fans and it never blew around. Just saying. But if you hate cinnamon, case closed. Just sharing man. Peace.
