Re: Vapedogg223's Got a Brand New Bag! All Organic, High Brix, Nirvana Ice, 49 Plant
Hey everyone! My apologies for not being around for the last couple of days...I've been busy! My little demo project took the better part of the day on Sunday...half of which was clean-up...but, it's done now. Besides, that's the new grow room, not really anything to do with this grow!
The big news is that the the girls (maybe I'll have to start calling them little ladies now...
) have been flipped to 12/12! They were all between 8 and 9 inches high yesterday, so I decided to pull the trigger!
Because of the crazy weather around here lately, I also decided to use the opportunity to move my photoperiod to nights. That will really make it much easier to control my room's temps when the weather gets warmer. So, late last night/early this morning I changed my bulb over to HPS, and changed over my timers. So tonight, after approximately 19 hours of dark, the girls will be on a 12/12 schedule. I know a lot of people claim a 24 hour or so dark period when they flip helps the flowering hormones build up, and kick-starts flowering...but I only extended the hours of darkness to accommodate the change in my photo period.
I also switched my moms over to the Gas Lantern Routine...but thats also not part of this grow! If you're interested in GLR, Twelve12 has done some great research on this, and discussed it in his blog here:
The Gas Lantern Routine for Growing Cannabis If you are at all curious, I'd recommending giving it a read!
Here's what they looked like last night.
I apologize for the crappy pic...I forgot to take some pictures before I pulled my hood down, but I wanted to show what they looked like. I took this one with a tripod, and available light from the CFL I was working by. It's not great, but you can get an idea.
The new tea mix and Yucca extract arrived yesterday, so I started brewing up a batch last night as well. I was planning on one more application of EWC tea, but the new stuff arrived sooner than I had expected, so I figured why wait!
I'll post some pics of the brewing process as well as the little ladies under the HPS later tonight or tomorrow...now I guess I'll have to start tinkering with my white balance next!
