Alright, here it is Sunday, finally got around to spending a bit more time in my garden. I rearranged a few more things fed a few of the girls.
Did a very light defol on Mercedes, mostly lower stuff, getting rid of suckers and fan leaves that could lead to some issues later on. I've had some thoughts on my next Bonsai grow. I'm thinking I'll throw Janine into the big container when Jane is finished. I was looking at Ferals perpetual grow, that is a long journal... In any case here's the updates on the new fans and the lights I've moved around. Turns out that leaf I had questions about was really nothing to huge, no need to worry about the whole plant because 1 leaf dies. All just standard stuff in the our world of growing our own.
I decided to move the 300 watt LED back into the flower tent, the veg box I have just isn't tall enough for LED plus seedlings and clones; it was burning them up. The fan I picked up for the veg box is green, it's definitely moving the air around.
My fans placements in the flower tent are more aggressive now. I mean I've had WPM in my last two grows and I'm tired of that shit. I'm gonna be more vigilant about defol and keeping the canopy thin but effective. I added the big black fan yesterday it blows straight across the top of Jane. I moved one down low to keep the air moving below the canopy and the other is up a bit higher to move the air directly under the lights.
I also moved my carbon filter to allow for all three of my lights to be spaced out but effectively. I'm up to 1500 watts of LED power, not sure what it is at the wall, but its bright as hell and with all the blurple light; I've gotta wear shades. I've got an old pair of Oakley Romeo's with polarized lenses that do a real nice job for being in close.
Mercedes is only 12 days into flower now and she's already showing off and giving a glimpse of what she'll do for me. I'm starting to get an idea of how tall I can let these ladies get before I push them. I'm gonna find out what this strain can do!
And now the moment you've all been waiting for it's Jane nugs, small by comparison to many but I'm still Finding My Way (Rush song).
I'm trying out the idea of back-building, I'm not sure if I did it right. From what I've heard you just clip the very top of a bud at week 3 or 4 and then watch for the extra mass and stacking. Here's 3 pics of the buds in question. So far I'm not seeing it, unfortunately I can't invite you all over for a bowl and inspection of my grow...
And just a few more of Jane's tops, I still need to count them, man she's got a lot!
Sorry for the repeats, they're all from today, but it's hard to keep track from those little ass thumbnails. Yes I have glasses, no my prescription is not that strong...
