doobers grow tent, seedlings clones and flowers

[doober]

thanks! I'm going to up my light output after this grow and run another massive clone and see how it does dialed in but I'm hoping to get a good harvest

 

[doober]

Probably chopping this weekend

 

[doober]

Chopped dried and trimmed I got 473 grams dry off that thing while it’s still a little green it’s still super lemony and skunky and a little gassy I can’t wait to see how it smokes in 6-8 weeks curing so far it’s the smoothest smoker I’ve grown, the trim tray hash lump was super flavorful

Nice 1 fella congratulations and really enjoy your harvest.

Great work @doober The buds look amazing bro
Looks like the plant grew out of that deficiency and settled into flower very nicely!!

it sure did it bounced back and really impressed me this one is going to def be a keeper for the next year or so

It’s been a little bit since I posted, after this grow I ran some stuff from Barney’s farm and a super boof clone I was gifted, the super boof cultivar is absolutely insane but the Pineapple Express pheno I got was right up there with it
Super boof

PE

I did upgrade from ~400 watts to ~730.

I’m running more super boof, cheetah piss and pineapple express right now under the new light, my cheetah piss clone has been really really fussy and is lagging behind really bad so I may pull it so it isn’t a pest or PM magnet.

Still dialing it in, I’m running 1.2-1.3 ec and the light is about 20-22 inches off the net at 50%

 

[doober]

I hit them with some recharge today and will give them one more veg feeding and send them into bloom and let the stretch fill it in a bit more. I’m also going to really thin them out and clean up underneath net today and again at day 18-21 probably I’m also slowly ramping up light intensity too and ec, what do y’all think so far

 

[doober]

Got them flipped to flower yesterday, got them with a haircut and some tucking this morning. The cheetah piss isn’t bouncing back like I really hoped but the plants are eating big and ready to run. I hope I can get my net filled during stretch without over crowding.

Before and after

It’s not the perfect fill I was hoping for but hopefully it’ll still be packed with buds and stacked deep and chunky

 

[doober]

Plants are throwing down, they’re a few days post flip and loving life. I’m pretty impressed with the new evo8 light I didn’t think I’d be able to run it at 100% but I’m at 90% now with no heat or stress issues and my leaf temps are 76-78. I’m just gonna tuck every morning, defoliate when it needs it and keep them fed and watch the show.

What do y’all think

 

[Galgrows]

I think you have done well dialing in the light. The plants and the training looks great to me. Are you gonna flip them soon?

Thanks I’ve been having a lot of fun with it! I flipped to 12/12 on 7-19 so everything should really take off soon. I’m hoping to fill the net out with the stretch but there’s probably gonna be a few bare spots

 

[doober]

Filling in and stretching nice. Little bump up in EC and in the next few days I’ll bump the light to 100% if they can handle it

 

[doober]

O tried to bump my light up to 100% and had to back off after a few hours I had some tips trying to taco up on me, everything seems good, the Pineapple Express in the front left is asking for more nitrogen I think, I won’t run her again I don’t think. it smokes good and yields good but isn’t up there with the cheetah and super boof.

 

[Galgrows]

I've read up on the super boof and saw some vids on it. Yes that's a powerful new light you may never use 100% unless it's like 40" above them tops LOL

80-90% is plenty but i couldnt help but try and to run 100% lol

Roughly 2.5 weeks into flower, I did the last hard defoliation yesterday, feeding like 2.0-2.3 ec every other day

 

[doober]

ive googled this a lot and I keep finding threads here on the farm with a lot of info about promix, I've been using it for right at a year with no problems, then I got into my current grow and upgraded my light and this is the first time things have gotten off track.

firstly the plants look good to me, one of my plants is naturally a bit lighter in color, but I really wanted to tighten up my grow so I started watching my runoff EC and pH trying to find a balance of feeding that wouldn't cause salt build up.

I'm going in at 2.2-2.3 EC, every 48 hours. I was checking runoff and my EC was spiking to 5.0-6.0ec but no tip burn and the plants looked fine.
it bothered me and I didn't want salt build up to crash pH and lock shit out so I flushed and got it in check, feed again and check and its spiking like crazy. I figured it was the dry backs causing it to jump so while I pieced an irrigation setup together I started giving them 3 smaller drinks, 2.2-2.3 EC, 0.8 gallons every 4 hours at 7am-11am-3pm and I was still really high on the runoff EC,. I made 10 gallons of 2.2 EC solution and split it even across all 3 plants and got down to 2.8ish runoff EC. the next day I fed 2.2 EC 3 times at 0.8 gallons with the last daily watering hitting good runoff. I checked the runoff on the second day after the reset and I'm over 6 EC again? I completely eliminated dry backs, still get run off, keep the media moist so salts don't accumulate as easy but after 48 hours of regular fertigations I'm way back up but my plants are trucking, and buds are bulking, maybe the tiniest bit of tip burn but that's all. run off pH is like 5.5-5.6, input pH is 6.2. should I feed/feed/water? should I not even worry?

a buddy of mine runs Athena nutes at 3.0 and his run off hits 8.0 and he's just fine and doesn't reset until his EC meter says ovr for over 10.0ec could I just be chasing ghosts? I've ran these same clones at 2.4 EC every second day with no issues but I wasn't checking Ron off really either. I cant tell if I'm doing something wrong or obsessing over numbers that don't mean anything. I've eliminated dry backs, I get ample runoff yet 2.2 going in keeps equaling 5.5-6.0 EC coming out. should I stop fussing with it and keep feeding? tone my EC down and keep frequent feedings? keep feeding 2.2-2.3 EC every other morning? what gives? I’m running GH 3 part with calimagic

I love your grows i just think you could dial back the light somemore. Everything is clean below the canopy can you blow a fan under them?

Thanks I’m only pushing around 650w I’m using Photone with a home made diffuser and reading like 850-950 at the canopy or there about. I have it pretty clean under there with a clip on fan under the trellis and two up top I’m just struggling to understand why my run off ec stays so high even with daily runoff but I also don’t know if it even matters this is my first year of serious growing so I get tripped up still
