Yea, once the solar panels and timers get here I will switch immediately to flower no matter how the plants are.Hopefully you solved it - newer leaves look okay to me. Most people will tell you that problem should be solved before flip, though I've been known not to follow that advice%.
Yeah this country gets hit annually, last year around September, Pinar Del Río got hit by Cat-3 hurricane and there was no electricity for 17 days, so imagine what a major cat4 or 5 would do. We already got hit this year by a Cat 1, been lucky so far. But it's better to be safe than sorry. Especially after all the effort that has already been put into growing these two plants. So I'm at the point where there's no backing down, if I fail I will try and try again, until I succeed and I will get everything I need to be able to reach that finish line.
I'm pretty sure I would do that too..
Sulfur and u will be good and don't worry for the light missing hours , she's ok a least not happening in late flowers cicle.
Saludos parcero que vola pana mioHi everyone, this will be second attempt to growing in Cuba, last time one of my dogs ate the plant at around 45 days old, but this time I have a little ghetto setup. I'm going to be growing inside one of the sections of the closet in my room, it's a 30" x 30" and it's about 6 feet in height. I put in a Vipar Spectra V1000 (2023) with the new diodes, I will wrap it later down the road with panda film, and I'll put in all the bells in whistles little by little. This is the "grow room" for now...View attachment 2003718
I germinatd 2 Black Domina they are feminized photoperiods. They both sprouted from the soil today, the soil I'm using has been flushed for the last two months with rain water only and LAB.
The soil is just natural soil found around wooded green areas here in the island, it has about a 30% mix of rice hulls, and 10% mix of broken down styrofoam bits with some small bits of wood chips.
These are both the plants now....
DAY #1

I'm super excited to see this grow progress... Some details about the lighting setup. It's currently at 75%, 26 inches up, it's whats recommended by the manufacturer for the seedling stage.
I went directly and planted into bigger containers this time, I don't want to have to transplant until it's well into the vegetative stage and the roots have fully developed because the soil is not perfect and it's still clunky, so I want it to grow without interrupting it or stressing it out.
For nutes I will be using the General Hydroponic Flora Series 3 bottle kits sold on Amazon, I'll be using my own home made CalMag, I'll also be using Hydrolyzed Fish food for the plants.
Hope everything goes well this time, I will be keeping the door locked so that my dogs don't eat it this time
Saludos bro, por lo de parcero diría que eres colombiano
Bro if nit is sulfur is the light intensity cuse that happens to me, maybe to strong ir maybe not enough and she asked for
I was thinking of what I would do in the rolling blackout situation like the ones we'll be experiencing here before long.
Yea I opted to just leave the light on 24 hours since the rolling black outs started and everyday there's a blackout so, I'm just worried that at some point the blackouts will trump over the 10-12 hour total during the day.I was thinking of what I would do in the rolling blackout situation like the ones we'll be experiencing here before long.
I really like my ladies to have a night, but you could put them on a 21/3 schedule and the blackouts probably wouldn't push them into flower. If you're expecting blackouts every day, you could just leave the light on.
This weekend in my veg shed I was checking my light timer and noticed I left it in bypass the last time I messed with it. That was weeks ago.. . They're sleeping at night again....
They're getting really bushy! I can't wait to see how they look in flower.
You could just leave flashlight on in case shit.
One day won't matter. You need several days to start triggering the plant normally, though sometimes they can probably trigger faster.
Due to the power outs, I wouldn't be able to guarantee the steady 12/12 cycle needed for flowering, I'm hoping the solar panels kit I bought gets here soon and I can start flowering with that kit for a power back up...
