ITS A BOY 😢 GAME OVER… TILL THE NEXT ONE!

a year ago

🚨 ****she is in ICU right now!! I think I had all sorts of problems come all at once…. My ppm was too high (thought this one could handle it), VPD was way too high, RH was too low (according to the VPD chart), temps during lights off was too low (switched to 24/0 lighting to stabilize temps) I’m going to give this 2 more weeks to recover. If she looks worse than today I’ll stop this diary. Next up will be a GDP Auto. I had great success w that strain!😎

a year ago

934 PPM 5.69 PH 71*F WATER TEMPERATURE Did my last major defoliation until she starts flowering. Realized my VPD was too high. Lowered it by upping the humidity and slightly lowering my ambient temps to around 70-75*F with humidity around 60%. I’ll give her a bout 7-10 days to recover. Waiting until day 80 before I switch the lighting to a 12/12. Just in case she doesn’t express her auto flower genes.

PPFD: 590 PH: 5.60 Humidity: 53.4% (weekly average) PPM: 1000 DLI: 41.9 Avg. Temp: 74.6*F/23.6*C I’ve been trying to figure out what was going on with her over the last week or so. Finally did another res change and saw the issue… I dropped my hygrometer in my res (don’t know when). This caused all my problems 🤦🏿‍♂️ and probably a reason I haven’t started flowering yet.. Hopefully all my issues are gone. We’ll see in the next coming days 🤞🏿

Since I now know this baby is going to take a longer time until harvest. Unlike most autos. I have started “playing” with her to try and achieve a 1lb harvest. I have topped a couple shoots. Main goal before flowering is to achieve a 3’ width. Right now I’m at 18”. Ppm was lowered to 946 as I was still seeing a little nute burn. She’s going through a lot right now so the next week I’m going to leave her be. I’ll check values every other day (ec/ppm/ph/humidity/temps)

Still coming along. Nothing new.

Ph:5.62 PPM: 1010 Had to do a 1/2 res change. Ppm was too high. Causing some leaf burn. Emptied 1/2 res (4L) and replaced with a lighter nutrient solution to bring ppm back to 1000 Did some heavy ish defoliation. Middle of canopy is open now. Will do one more slight defoliation a week after flowering I think.

PPFD: 670(top highest) 600 (lower area) PH: 5.64 Humidity: 54.7% (weekly average) PPM: 1290 DLI: 49.6 Avg. Temp: 73.6F/23.1C Look like I have a small nutrient deficiency with Nitrogen. Refilled 3/4 th gallon of (mixed) nutrient solution to main res. Used more GrowBig solution (10ml) to address nitrogen deficiency. Also added a 1/4tsp of MYCO+ to better aid Nitrogen as well. **Yes. I know the PPM is a bit high. I’m going to let it drink 🤷🏿‍♂️ will of course monitor for any nutrient burn. ***Will refill next top up with 1/4 strength nutrients unless flowering starts. 🤞🏿

a year ago

Light upgraded today! Ppfd 660-690 Dealing with what looks to be a Nitrogen deficiency… adjusting nutrients. Will check all numbers tomorrow or day after. Monitoring temps/humidity tonight.

Topped up water today. Used 1/3 strength nutrients (fox farm trio + cal mag plus) PH:5.50 (topped up water) PH: 5.56 (main water) after using ph down. Was at 5.87 before ph drops. PPM: 1100 New light on its way in a couple days! ☀️

Did more lst and some light defoliation. Why not 🤷🏿‍♂️

PPFD: 581 PH: 5.77 Humidity: 56.5% (weekly average) PPM: 1100 DLI: 41.4 Avg. Temp: 72.7F/22.5C Just realized this auto takes 130days till harvest. This auto will be a monster soon! Changed out air pump to a bigger output. Also upgrading lights to MedicGrow Fold 8 soon😎

Same news. Waiting game. ⏰

a year ago

Still waiting for flowering.

a year ago

Ppm 1100: Ph: 5.66 Thought she would have started flowering by now. Still trying to stabilize the ph after res change. Looking good so far. No signs of nute burn. 😎

a year ago

LST’d the main branch to bring more light to the middle and still attempting to even canopy.

a year ago

Ppm 1100: Ph: 5.56 Water Res. Change today. Added new mix of nutes. (7ml/g Big Bloom: 5ml/g Grow Big Hydro: 5ml/g Tiger Bloom: 3ml/g CalMag: 3/4 tsp Myco+) Used LST clip to bend main branch to expose more light to bottom bud sites. Trying to even the canopy. This strain has tight spacing between the nodes, making LST a bit difficult. Also cut a bigger fan leaf to allow more light through. ***just realized I put too much TigerBloom. I should’ve went half strength. Oh well. I’ll continue to check her daily for signs of nute burn.*** Red LST Clips= Main stem Clear LST Clips= Fan leaves White LST Clips = Side branches

😎 I believe I should start to see the sex soon. Will take closer pics soon.

2nd pic is from the backside. Should be starting pre-flowering very soon!

PPFD: 538 PH: 5.65 Humidity: 57.9% (weekly average) PPM: 800 DLI: 37.4 Avg. Temp: 74.7F/23.7C Maintaining maximum light coverage. Moving big fan leaves to expose more light down/around the canopy. Aka… LST

a year ago

More growth! More LST!

a year ago

Doing lst on some branches. Still moving bigger fan leaves to get more light below. Accidentally broke off fan leaf… oops 😅

a year ago

Continuing LST on fam leaves. Checking all measurements tomorrow.

DLI:35.4 PPFD: 488 Ph: 5.52 PPM: 797 Was an unusual warm day today. Tent temperature reached about 80*F. Just bought dehydrator to control humidity better. 😎

a year ago

Short bushy auto. Doing lst on fan leafs. (Using lst clips to move fan leaves to provide better lighting)

a year ago

Bringing humidity down a bit more (52-58%) starting tonight. Keep eye out for nute burn.

a year ago

Nothing to report today. Was supposed to check ph/ppm levels today, will check tomorrow. Ppfd was around 488

a year ago

Bushing nicely. Will check ph/ppm/ppfd tomorrow.

a year ago

See more node areas. Looking nice. No nutrient burn so far. 🤞🏿

a year ago

😎 first 5 finger blades. Working on dialing in the humidity to 50-55%

In veg. Growth should increase exponentially soon. Lowered light to read around 440 ppfd. Light is around 17-18” now from 22”

Moving to veg cycle. 5.86ph. 730ppm

Veg soon!

Couple more days till veg! Might fim. Lst next week I think. 5.68ph
