Meakanu’s 2nd Grow

[Meakanu]

Figure id get this started sense their under way.
All that cuts I took to clone made it, all 30 plus lol! I ended up giving some away and culled some also. Kept at least one from each plant I have in flower, Legacy OG, Alpine OG, Lilikoi and Cheasel. One from each of the three pheno’s of the Legacy OG also. Popped a few regular beans of Truffula tree and Mad Hatter also.
I’m only going to Keep 5 lucky Lady’s from this lot to go into flower. Will make the final cut after I see how the ones in flower turn out and after sexing the Truffula tree and Mad Hatter seedlings.
Got a 2ft by 4ft grow tent set up in my shop. It’s pretty exposed to the out doors their so I got to keep a close eye out for bugs. But was my only option of where to put it. Also don’t have any control over the tempiture and humidity, lucky live Hawaii though haha.
The light I’m using is a 4ft fixture with T8 LED 5000 daylight bulbs.
Got everything in a CoCo perlite mix.

Sense my other plants won’t be done for atleast 6-8 more weeks these will be in veg that whole time.
Guess that’s about it.

I loved Maui. I could live there in a heart beat....if it wasn't $10,000 a month lol.

I'd love to be able to just visit there if round trip tickets for two people plus lodgings and food didn't cost 3000 bucks or more from where I live.

Although if I could chose a place to live outright I think it'd be Hawaii. My grandfather spent time there during WW2 and was sold on it. He brought back hundreds of postcards, dozens of picture and travel books, and lots of slides. After looking through it all I've gotta say I'm sold too.

I have seen many beautiful places in my life. And Maui is in the top 5. It's cool that half the island is tropical climate (humid) and half is desert (dry).

@Meakanu you said you don't have a lot of control over temp/rh. What are your temp/rh? The plants look good.

I’m not sure, my only thermostat is in my flower room. But I know our lows have been about 70-72 and highs 80-85. Not sure on what the RH has been.
Idk if Im even going to get a thermostat for my veg tent, won’t be able to adjust temp or RH anyway. But I guess it would be good to have Incase I start seeing any issues to help figure out what’s going on.

It’s an Amazing place but ya right the cost of living is crazy! I have three kids and I spend around $60 a month on milk alone!

The ability of cheep electronics to accurately read humidity should not be ignored.
Every action you take can have an influence, so knowing if you are high or low allows you to be sloppy with the water or adjust the vents, depending on the influence you wish.

Maui is the best island for snorkeling.

 

[Meakanu]

Conducting a little experiment.
Both these clones were cut on the same day and both are in the same medium and from the same mother.
I’m going to feed one my normal store bought nutrients.
The other I’m going to feed my homemade mix.
If this works out then I’ll be able to save myself a lot of money atleast during da veg stage.
I made myself a little over two gallons of home made Fish Hydrolysate, process took about two months but maybe a hour of hands on work.
Anyway from the research I’ve done it seems that most Fish Hydrolysate’s have a NPK around 2:3:0 - 2:5:0 so I’ll have to supliment some Potassium into my fish mix. I’m going to do this with hard wood ash.
Both will get the same amounts of other additives like Cal-Mag and Silica.
Ok let’s see how this go’s!

 

[Meakanu]

Not much to report. Doing what plants do. I’ve started playing god with them already, doing some topping and pruning.
The side by side experiment plants are on the far left of photo. Right now they seem neck and neck, so far so good for my funky fish juice!

 

[Meakanu]

Over all the seedlings and clones are looking good. However I think I might be getting a defecancy of some kine. Looks a lot like magnesium defecancy but I’m seeing it more on the upper leaves and not as much on the lower leaves. I’ve also been feeding Cal-mag in my nut mix da whole time.
Any ideas?

 

[Enforcer]

I agree with magnesium deficiency. I would suggest a tablespoon per gallon of epsom salt with your next few feedings Some of your leaves look dark green, I would limit the cal-mag as it is a 2-0-0. The extra nitrogen will make your leaves that dark green color, and could eventually lead to N toxicity (the claw). The plants looks very strong, just needs a little dialing in.

Rajah! Right on, will do. thanks for taking the time to reply! Aprecate it bro

 

[Meakanu]

Verdict is out and my funky fish mix needs some work! I’m going to discontinue the experiment because the results are clear. But I’m not giving up on making my own veg nuts. I just need to tweak it a little and try again.

 

[Enforcer]

They look better. What did you end up doing?

Just started doing what you suggested. But the two plants in this picture weren’t showing any signs of mag dificency.

Ok cool. I didn't realize they were different plants. They look good. Please keep us updated on how your other plants are doing.

Update on 2nd grow!
Seem to have gotten the mag def under control! And everything’s looking good.
I got rid of three chiesal clones, two Legacy OG clones and the Alpine OG clone. My friend is going to grow them so I can get clones later if needed.
The Mad Hatter and Truffula tree seedlings are coming along. Need to sex them ASAP because I’m quickly running out of room in my little Veg tent. And I only plan on keeping one of each strain.
Two of the seedlings have started showing me somthing but I can’t ID it. I’ll atach a pic group of each and maybe one of you can?
That’s about it here, Aloha!

Nice! I’m actually excited to hear that lol.
What do you mean by raised up?

Like a small stem is holding it up
