Grow diary featuring my irrational obsession with Hawaiian strains

[TerriR]

I’m upgrading my flower tent to a 5’ x 5’ to increase yield. Maybe with the bigger tent I can start using my air pots again. My husband gave me the nickname “upgrade” since I am always upgrading

me too! but I always use the stuff even when I get something new...just fine tuning for excellence, I say!

Rainbow Kush repotted into 3 gallon Maxx Yield (air pot), using Botanicare CocoGro...my first grow in coco, vegging under the Perfect Sun 500.

Another Hawaiian seedling - Nanilava

 

[TerriR]

Nanilava is growing...maybe time to move it to the 3 gal pot

 

[TerriR]

The Hawaiian seedlings are doing great in coco. Rainbow Kush and Nanilava...just letting them take their time vegging.

 

[TerriR]

These are my pakalolo...both a few weeks old, both growing in coco, same Masterblend nutrients with cal/mag, watered daily, 36” from veg light, side by side in small tent.

Q: Does the one in front (Rainbow Kush) appear to be tacoing? The Nanilava in the back is loving life, but RK is slowing it’s growth and not looking as fabulous.

Ideas...

Look at the leaves of one in front? low humidity? heat? too much nutes? I added a humidifier to the tent today...

My first thought was pH fluctuation, although the rolled edges are usually indicated of a heat issue

Thanks...I put a humidifier in the tent now it is 36%, raised the light as far as it will go so it is about 40” above now and temp has lowered 5 deg to 77. I actually think it looks better now. If it isn’t hugely better by tomorrow, I will move it under the cool, awesome QB

 

[TerriR]

Moved it to the QB tent...

Loving how this Nanilava is growing! Puts on a new set of leaves pretty much daily. Hope it’s female!

This Nanilava in coco under lights...this could make me switch teams ...sorry Outdoor friends.

Indoor is good for sativas since they take so long to finish flowering.

yes, good point! a little hint of the tropics when the cold wind is blowing...can’t wait!

 

[TerriR]

Nanilava has 6 nodes...thinking I will wait for a couple more then top it...that way I can use the top as a clone. Think that would work?

Yes you can top it and clone the top.

 

[MooseFarts]

Looking great! yeah the top as a clone should work! Just hope its a female :D

Edit: @Rootbound was quicker on the draw

 

[TerriR]

of course it’s male...it’s too vigorous and healthy to be anything else (my luck)

Pretty plant! Looks happy :)

I need a white paper on efficiently getting the pH of water correct. it takes me 1/2 hour to do 1 gallon...I lose interest way before that! I have a blue lab pen and some pH up/down. what’s your best tips?

 

[TerriR]

Rainbow Kush recovered from whatever happened. Lives in the QB tent now.

Are you PH'ing plain water or a nutrient mix?
