GG #4 IBL from Mycotek indoor organic soil grow

[Buzzy12]

I started germination of thes seeds on April 19th.

4 Days later 4/23

Day 1 in soil 4/23

Day 7 in soil 4/30

Day 15 in soil 5/8, Day 1 of Veg

These plants are in a 3×2 AC Infinity tent under a HLG 175V2 with a GrowBuds Oscillating fan. Lights are on an 18/6 cycle, PPFD was at 200-300 for the first week, 300-400 second week, and I just lowered the light to increase PPFD to 400-500. Temps are 75-80°F and RH 50-60%. They're currently in 0.5 gal plastic containers filled with Sunshine Advanced Growers Mix #4 and I use Advanced Nutrients organic nutrients as well as Azos and Mikrobs for my Veg plants.

Your plants look good so far. I love watching seedlings grow. Are you planning to grow all 14 of them in the 3x2 tent?

Thank you, they are off to great start, excellent genetics I'm working with on this run. I think the seed starter mix from Coast of Maine is the better medium to start in than the Sunshine #4 Grower's Mix. I've been experimenting with a lot of different things over the past year or so.

The plan is to transplant these plants into 3 gal Rain Science bags probably this weekend and they will eventually be put into 6 gal bags for the Octopot system I like a lot, but still have yet to purchase. I'm currently in the process of seeing what I can DIY for the autowatering system. Once they're transplanted into the 3 gal bags they'll get moved downstairs into my 10×10 AC Infinity tent.

We're just getting to the end of Week 2 of the Veg Cycle and the plants are good and healthy, very impressed with these genetics so far. I transplanted all 14 plants into 3 gal Rain Science bags and moved them downstairs into my 10×10 AC Infinity tent. They're under two HLG 350Rs with my Mother plants right now. PPFD is around 400-500. I sprinkled Mykos on the roots during transplant. Used a 50/50 mix of Stonington Blend to Sunshine Mix #4. I'l water them later on today. When I transplant I typically do not water until the day after. There's plenty of moisture in the fresh soil and it gives the roots an incentive to reach for more water.

We'll be at the end of week 4 of Veg tomorrow. I did defoliate and lollipop these plants earlier in the week.

The plants are being fed with every watering as needed.

Day 37 of Veg, fed the plants today. I'm having a difficult time finding Grandma Enggy's F-1 and I'm using it for the flower plants right now, but I'm about to run out. That's why I added in the WOW 5-2 Wonder blend to the microbe cocktail once a week. Added two more fans to the room as well.

I hope my shit gets like this.

 

[Buzzy12]

Yesterday was Day 42 of Veg, they're needing water every other day at this point. Fed them nutes on Saturday and the microbe cocktail tonight. Might do another defoliation and lollipop tomorrow.

 

[Buzzy12]

Day 49 of Veg was yesterday, we did a defoliation after watering last night.

Pictures from Day 56, that was this past Sunday

I moved another HLG 350R in there for better coverage, running them at less power now.

Day 63 of Veg was this past Sunday, 7/9

 

[Buzzy12]

Day 70 of Veg, hopefully be able to transplant these plants soon. They've been in those 3 gal bags for a long time.

What are your climate conditions here?

What are your climate conditions here?

The environment has been between 88-92°F most days lately. I'm not running any AC unit in the Veg tent because I don't think it's worth it. Most strains will be able to handle the higher temps in Veg. Just think summer time. RH I'm keeping between 60-65% with a dehumidifier. I got three fans in a 50 sq ft space. Running three HLG 350Rs over them and the mother plants I have in that tent right now. The lights are as dim as they can be and about 18" away from the top of the canopy. PPFD is only 300-400, lights are on 18/6 off.

Took this pic yesterday, Day 71 of Veg. The plants are still in their 3 gal bags.

Finally was able to get a lot of work done with these plants over this weekend. All of the plants have been transplanted up. Installed four new lights, HLG 750 Diablo with the UVA XL Supplement lights. Set up a trellis on the plants that are in the Octopots bags. A decent amount of training is still needed for these plants. Hoping to flip the lights to 12/12 after this week. Running the lights at 40% and they're about 20-30" away from the top of the canopies, they're getting about 500-600 PPFD.

 

[Buzzy12]

Flipping the lights tonight, day 1 of flower will be tomorrow. Did a minor defoliation. Much less than I have been doing in the last few grows. I only took off the big fan leaves and left everything else. We'll see how it works out.

PPFD is 600-700 for now. The lights are running at 50%. Temps are 85-88° during the day and 78-80° overnight with the lights off. Rh is 60-65%. The dehumidifier pumps a lot of heat when it's running full strength. I'm currently looking into a solution to this problem over the summer months to lower flower temps.

Fed the plants flower nutes for the first time today.
