Mikedin’s grow journal 2, let’s go!

[Mikedin]

Hah true that and yeah that was a fly show for blazin no doubt. I give them props for holdin it together that many seasons.

Lol yeah it’s my first time watching it we watch on nights I’m off,

Just got the cover crop planted! My Hindu Kush #1 plant is getting huge quick lol, might need to start LST on her early she’s already pushing on her 6th node these plants are really growing with tight node spacing, not too close but right where I want. What a difference a good light makes.

 

[Mikedin]

Yeah she was ready for it gotta get her started early she’s only about 12 days old lol

 

[Mikedin]

Well I can say she responded well to the LST was already turned upright on her main and lower sites have all turned up. Time to start leaf tucking

Amazing how fast they respond. 1 night of rest and RAWRR

Up to 3 with LST started now lol, I’m a bit impatient but when I see lower branching trying to reach up I can’t resist lol, just dropped a cookies Kush photo seed into water it’ll hit the dirt tomorrow morning, it’ll be my clone maker

Hah I hear that to a fault. I have a bit of a problem staring at my ladies as they sway and not being able to deal if see a fan leaf that casts a shadow on a bud site. Nope, gotta go
So the cookies kush photo is it a fem or reg? Will you keep it as a mother if fem or take clones? If I have clones that would need to reveg, is it crazy/stupid to try to run 1 with some regular photos I'm sprouting?

 

[PerfecTrader]

Whelp 4 out of 6 of my clones have tons of roots, some out of the top
So I guess that answers that. I will plant them in solos tomorrow. Growing clones that have to reveg along with regs breaking the surface in days. What could go wrong

Fem cookies Kush seeds. Cinderella 99 clones from a 2 week flowering female so they’ll have to reveg, and my tent is full of autos lol

THAT one, is going to be special and I can't wait to

Made some progress this morning, never said it would be pretty just that it’ll work lol

Mother tent has been rebuilt lol just gotta hang up a kingLED1500w
Including a before picture as well, gald I don’t let my wife throw out anything haha found a use for the heat registers we replaced through the house haha

Little tweaking left to do then she’ll be ready

I’m tempted to tie the exhaust into the house’s cold air return haha

Holy DIY ftw and that whole tent is just for the 1 mother plant?

 

[Mikedin]

Holy DIY ftw and that whole tent is just for the 1 mother plant?

Most likely 3 mothers, my brother in law gave me some cuts of his Cinderella 99, so that’ll be a mother, as well as some other strain that he got a cut of from his buddy, he just knows it was some sort of Congo biased strain he’s been keeping it going for about 9 years I guess, so Ill start a mother out of it as well since I have the room I’ll probably start veg in that tent as well for photos and move them to the big tent as room opens up

I’ll be able to try out the bud from that Congo strain at the end of the outdoor season when my bro in laws plant finishes up, till then I’ll get it started if I like it I’ll keep it if not I’ll toss it

 

[Mikedin]

2 smaller (average sized) plants, plus the over the top Hindu Kush lol she’s got chutes coming up everywhere looking for that light haha


Got a bit more tweaking in the new tent gotta get the PPFD where I want it for clones and seedlings right now it’s 100 PPFD at the floor so I gotta come up with a stand, had to use my adjustable hanger from the light for the new lights in the other tent so it’ll take a bit more work in this tent till I get it right

Oh and noticed my top of my pots where all puffed up, (the soil) went over and touched it and boom soil flat fell and about 1,000 seedlings came up in each out from my cover crop haha, soil was so airy and light the seedlings pushed it right up haha

 

[Mikedin]

So currently pots are sitting directly in the saucers (on top or raised stands) I don’t plan to water to runoff, gotta keep those microbes in the soil where they belong lol. I’ve watered twice so far about 1/4 -1/3 gallon each time and I’ve bottom fed them both times to draw the roots down to look for water is my theory just ordered 8x 9” raised grates I’ll put under the pots in the drip treysx that way I can make sure I just barely reach runoff but don’t go overboard, last grow was a pain moving the plants out to water every day so avoiding runoff (unless I’m forced to flush) will be my goal I just wanna make sure they get air under the pots

$13 for 4 of them wasn't bad!

 

[Mikedin]

Also got a few of the clones moved over to the new tent to try it out lowered the light and picked pump the solos onto some flipped small planters to get about 150 PPFD to the tops of the plants

Cookies kush cup is in there too with the dome on it just waiting for it to sprout

Controller is reading 79f and 66%RH and they are on a 24/0 light schedule

 

[Aqua Man]

Careful with that ppfd blurple is not the same as full spectrum

 

[Mikedin]

*sigh’s as I drag my stoner ass out of bed to double check red/blue spectrum on photone app*

Andddd…. @Aqua Man is right again I was at 330 PPFD in red/blue lol. Took the stands out from under the cups and now we’re at a sweltering ~200ish~ Red/blue PPFD and about 98 full spectrum lol

I’m getting used to that new mars hydro lol, I used to always remember to check the blurple PPFD lol

 

[Mikedin]

Good evening folks! Long day at work just got home haha, little video update on the girls
