Flower Room Update (week 6 & 8)
I decided to push table 1 a week or two further to see the diff. The results on table 1 are not wat i was looking for so i fig make the best of it and test out diff color trichs and diff harvest methods. Table 2 is lookin much more promising dispite the pest issues.
The flower stretch on table 1 had really long internodes and most my tops are not even connecting buds. so most table 1 harvest will be popcorn nugs. the color seems to be gettin darker on the nugs and sum good trich frost. i havent had a chance to get my microscope out again and see where the trichs are at since ive been home from vegas. last week they were mostly milky white maybe sum clear. a good amount of pistils hairs are turning brown and having been for the past 4 weeks.
Im running my 100can carbon filter 24/7 (last round i didnt even have to use it...)
-that shows u how much aroma diff this crop has.
Now i see why shop setups use 5x150can carbon filters lol.
Anyways heres last weeks cap of feeding;
Table 1;
PH @ 5.9
PPM @ 1350
Table 2;
PH @ 6.0
PPM @ 1250
Rez temp @ 80*
C02 PPM @ 1500
Room Temp @ 79* 55% RH
Pest prevention;
Ladybugs & Predator mites
Feedback; doesn't seem to affect advancing spidermite infestation. Id only use these for prevention not control.
GoGnats in my rez;
Feedback; seems to help control adult population of gnats and havent had any issues, althought adult gnats are still present in room.
New pest solution;
Forbid foliar spray 1.25ml/gal
-mist (not direct spray) over canopy during lights out to allow stomata soak up the solution and will process throughout the plant and kill any eggs/larvae/adult mites and hopefully the gnats.
Thanks to Greencoast for the
Forbid and other members online for the pest control suggestions. ill let u know the feedback from the
Forbid product.
I had to take a break on hookin up the 1HP chiller since i left town and didnt wanna run sumthing new without knowing it is safe without me needing to be there.
I have lots of tasks this week;
-Finish hookin up the chiller and get my rez temos down to 63* :)
-Take cuttings from last Mothers before i toss em
-Transplant my OG x Bubba & Master Bubba cuttings into 4" rockwool cubes. they will be vegged out on the 4'x4' veg table and transplanted into 3gall pots filled with hydroton and RW crutons. This is my new flower medium choice for the next round. Im hopin to see a big diff between mediums and using the chiller to lower water temps.
Also got my partner ready to roll with his shop setup rockin 2x16site UC DWC setup. Hope he gets his ass on here with a journal already... i know ure watchin bro... haha
Anyways for those who are tired of readin my rambles here is this weeks update. Pls feel free to discuss harvest tips, methods, options, theories, etc.
