2 TENTS AND ELEVEN PLANTS AUTOS

I can understand the deletion. What I can not understand is the use of the words fucking forum.
Peace

Weird!? Never seen that before

Final few weeks to finish. Some look good some not so much.

Did you pull most of those fan leaves off or did they yellow and dry up?

 

[JIMKSI64]

All but 2 faded earlier than I expected. 2 I then overshot nitrogen.
Meh. Next time I use an actually feed chart......

Altho' your plants look really good.
Mine on the other hand.... LOL But yes, I'm gonna stick with a chart next time. Outdoor is so much easier 'cause the sun and the rain help to minimize many 'mistakes'.

Update pics.
Plants continue to stack and get lumpy.

Here are some early and late pictures of certain plants.

One of the drowned plants moved to the slow tent. Was not progressing and I was worried it would spread plague.

Now it has a main cola the size of a pop can and 5 3 gram flowers around it.
All lumpy and shit. Almost threw it out.

.

These 2 plants were moved to the sick room after the Rudy was identified and the squat plant took off. Broad based nutrition deficit halted with fish shit and my best shoestring catch this run.

Turning up the secondary runs early can mess up node spacing. Sometimes these do not fill in.

And sometimes they do. This plant screws with the harvest date as it is 2-3 weeks behind but wow the last week has been stellar.

Example of a high nitrogen load plant. It had faded tips hard and I overshot the add and it slowed.
And then took off when the plant caught up for this nsfw cola pic.

Lights at 40k most tops.
75 degrees 50% RH
68 degrees 45% night.
Almost all plants are at the 3nd week veg water rate but still stacking hard.

Update. Learning channel post.

Ok a bit late on this observation but in my defense I never had mass fan leaves on a plant before into mid flower. Most had fallen off.
When defoling or shwazzing or cleaning up flowers by removing I will be scheduling this around the plants water requirements.
A process like this can stall a plant. If you do this right after watering the plant the 2 day pause in growth will slow transperation of the plant to the point where the plant may not clear the water load on schedule. This can create wet feet and pH issues.
I will be doing defol when the plant is close but not ready for water. This will help control the pot moisture as slowing transperation on a full pot creates problems.
NOTE.
This will be strain specific and may never cause a problem for some growers.

Looks like close to the last week. A few plants are really chunking up hard. End of run is in site.

Closing in 81 days above ground

Update
The finishing.
We have 3 sets of plants today.
First set is Rudy and the plant that decided to dry off. It was one of the damaged plants that I thought I had caught with fish shit from the fade but it stopped pushing pistles and dried off in the pot
These 2 are in 31x31 set up at ambient ( 65 ) and 60% RH duct pull on 1.
This next group is closing in. Good pistle development ( all but one ) but not yet stacking at all.

This next group is stacking hard. I am watering these plants to give me a 4 day cycle and not going aggressive on the dryback.

Hats off to the Trainwreck post for the light modification. The last 2 weeks I have been shortening the DLI by dropping from 74 to 61% power on the lights. This 25% reduction is for the last 3 hours of the day and the plants have responded even better than last time with swollen bracts and much harder dense tops than any of my last runs .
Did drop down to 48% day and 44% night.
Apple fritter Auto 84 days above ground.

Update
Woke up to alarm for humidity and vdp in tent
Found Vivosun fan had failed but in a most idiotic way
It will not turn off. Not with app not with trigger points and NOT WITH OFF BUTTON. This is the transfer fan in the wall that transfers the cold air from the wet room. Looks like a register.
Had to unplug the damn thing and prop the door open a bit.

The difference in the end stack is so much better than the foop nutes. I got several bud tops that spit out those swollen bracts but this grow they are running all the way down the stem run.

They are about as tight as a brand new hacky sac. The whole run down

 

[JIMKSI64]

Update
This is a trace of a single day. You can see during lights on the vdp remains very close to 1.4 the entire time.
Right around 9pm the lights were switched from 72 to 60 %. This also brought the temp down but less than 1.5 degrees. After lights out the transition was controlled down to 68 degrees and landing at 1.2 vdp.
6am it all starts again.
Also on my stupid fan. I pulled the wires on one of the 2 PC type fans in the register assembly and shoved it back in.
Having an open door with no IPM was giving me anxiety........

Doh helps if I post screenshot

Update.
Frosting up and the balance of the tent is starting to swell.

 

[JIMKSI64]

3 plants are at my personal harvest level.
3 other plants are stacking nice.
The 1 with basically no sugars has pushed some out of the pistles but I am not sure if it has enough energy to stack.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Update.
2 plants in drying tent mived to plastic bag and moved to freezer. These are the Rudy and the plant that died in the pot at pistles but never finished up.

Replaced with 2 very lumpy very icy pot plants that finished well. Very basic wet trim.

5 plants remaining in 4x4
