Cutting grow let’s go!

[Bdubs]

Bumped KC Wolf up to 1250ppm, nearly forgot.

 

[Bdubs]

Keeping an eye on trichomes.

 

[Bdubs]

Harvested and complete.

 

[Bdubs]

And let’s get moving on the KC grow. Doing the dirty cleanup of an ignored veg plant. trim and lst for spacing will be my next week or two of work in the room.

 

[Bdubs]

4 days of dry

Long ways to go.

 

[Bdubs]

17th week veg

 

[Bdubs]

Bloom nutrients administered as she was getting tired of veg nutes. She is pushing me to flip her sooner than later. But, she liked the early bloom nutes.

24/0 veg the entire time. Since transplant 18/6. Then, 16/8. Tonight 14/10. Wed. 12/12. When Intensity increased mid day, I follow by extending night.

Bloom nutrients given early can signal her flowering is coming, along with the light intensity and longer nights.

Flower initiated Monday.
I was already on the 14/10 light cycle.

Waiting for day 21 to defoliate and finish cleaning up.

Focusing tucking and environment for the next 3 weeks.
At the end of week 2, mid grow nutrient switch.

 

[Bdubs]

Moving along nicely.
I am being patient, she will reward me.

I am tripping out hard these plants grew from just two branches via mainlining..wow that is impressive. Nice grow man. Kudos.

Thank you sir.

She is my 3rd run to push flower thus far in my growing adventures.

She is thick

The past week+ work: (Temps mostly)
After a cold snap, radiator heater set up in the lung room.

Reservoir was sitting on the concrete hitting the low of 60 for a couple days. I slid thick insulation board under it last water change. Temps staying 65-70 the past week. Outside temps 55 high 35 low with a couple 20 degree low days. (Yeah those 20 degree nights got me started worrying when water temps hit 60 and I tapped 65 room temps before kicking on some heat for her, it took a couple days to get room and water temps to stabilize in acceptable ranges).

First winter grow in my room, fun learning experience. Still working environment stability. Some days I get 4-5 degree swings and others 8 degree. Room temps have not dropped below 65. One day since flower hit 77.8, 75.9 is the typical high during the day. On the swings where 4-5 degrees difference, I get 68-70 degree nights. The swings down to 65 nights are happening when room temps are 72-73 day temps.

So far not many adjustments on the fly needed. I adjust the lung room temps to offset the rooms natural temp swings. Which is currently 74 during the day, 68 at night. I have not had to tweak it so it’s a routine every morning and night. I am switching temps like clockwork at lights on/off. (Why didn’t I buy a programmable heater ).

The swings are gradual as well and extend the whole day/night with minimal plummets. Even during lights off/on. I get a 2-3 degree drop/increase then a slow fall/rise.

Things I need to do:
She is getting so heavy and leaning. I tether supported her but that won’t be enough. I need to make a brace.

For your next go round and to save some major veg time... instead of chopping down to 1 node to start.... leave 2 nodes....I just started mainlining this way and I'm not seeing any differences between starting with 1 or 2 nodes... less toppings to start with 2

Here is some.visuals of mine... im week 4 of flower today

Yes sir. I noticed I topped at the wrong spot because I was going for a NugBuckets mainline. I let time rush me on it. I was harvesting, setting up for the next run and transplanting her into a hydro veg setup all at the same timeframe. That was the big oops, patience.

I started her germination waaaay to early and this whole girl is an unexpected monster. I never wanted her to get this big. She went through most of the last runs veg plus all of flower. I had to keep topping and cutting leafs to slower her down to stretch until the entire next run was done. I only had a 2x2 tent to work with. Every 3-4 days I was cutting her.

I'm doing a 32 head mainline myself right now too
