Kuwl - Rollin' Along

[kuwl]

A few pic's
I have no idea what this problem is
I thought I solved it but I may be wrong in my assessment
Low iron but fed it some Cal-Mag + iron an not helping

I let them dry out till they wilt and pots are feather lite, test meter also shows dry as a bone

Before Watering

2 hrs after watering

Their already looking better and they will but for the leaves.

Notice flowers starting on #3 :) (Right Front)

Per Gal
1/4 tsp Flower Fuel 1-34-32
2 tsp Cal-Mag
1 tsp Fish Fert
1 tsp Liquid Karma

PH - 6.2
PPM 750
Tent Temp 77° Hum 37-40%
Soil FFOF
Light MarsHydro FC4800
Tent 5x5x6.5

Run Off = PH 6.2

BTW bugs are gone but I will be on the lookout for them pesky critters
Ordered some Smite just incase.
Also took out straw an put Demascus dirt around the bottom of plant with perlite on top of that.

 

[kuwl]

Today they look better than ever, except for that leaf color on some.
I might not give it any more Flower Fuel
Maybe that is the problem but not sure why?
Or stop some of the other stuff I use.

They starting to get some Cola action going
I love it when they pray to the sun god :))

The two 6 in. fans are doing their job well.
I hooked up the filter as the smell is getting good, Oh Yea!

I am not so sure about the claim of early harvest on this
Afghan Kush lol It's almost the 5th week into flower and
although they are looking ok, I think they are on track for
the usual 8 to 10 week harvest timeline.

Oh the Strawberry banana (wk 3) is coming along nicely!

Lookin’ good @kuwl


the high P in that flower fuel may be too much for continuous application. But it has good sulfer which is great for smell and taste.

i just would go back to the grow if the plant needs greening up. Give the plant what it asks for.

Yep Thanx Sounds like that is what it is.
I was checking out some of the stuff I brought when I got a lil bit crazy online lol
I think I went overboard on some nuits like a kid in a amazon candy store.

Back to basics w/ maybe a lil twist now and then just to see.

 

[kuwl]

The Strawberry-Banana is 4 wks old now and is coming along nicely.
I usually wait till they are 6 wks old before putting them in the Flower room.
I was thinking this cellar room would make a great grow room as the exhaust
goes right out the chimney no filter needed for stinky flowers!
Right now the other grow room (second floor) is problematic as the intake and exhaust goes
out the window although I did stealth it up, it still worries me.
Using the cellar, I could grow summer and winter!
Pic's

I just fed yesterday @ 400PPM (Foliage Pro, Pro Grow, Silica, 1/2 dose each)

My cellar's oil room (not used in over 20 yrs.)
This is where I could build or buy a tent.
My veg tent is 24"x24"x60"
I am 6' and can stand with room to spare.

My exhaust duct (out the chimney it goes)

 

[kuwl]

Correction cellar tent is 36"x36"x64" a lil higher than I thought
I could fit a 36"x36"x72" tent in there or I could build a bigger one.
Furnace pipes are the problem.

Here are the latest pics from the flower tent
#1 #2 n #3 clockwise starting from back left
6 weeks in flower.
Fed them yesterday 1/2 dose 400PPM but the feeding before this one I got carried away and I see burnt tips

#1 Was the best looking of them but #3 is doing super now

#2 This one had spider mites I think I got them all funny the others did not have any signs of them darn bugs

#3 @ 4 weeks in FR a lil behind 1 n 2 but the best looking so far

My wife brought me a toy :))

Wow thats a nice new little box you got under the doll and next to the big glass thing. ;-)

I used to smoke cigars and started collecting the boxes they came in.
Some were quite well made I used to work with wood
so I appreciate the craft that goes into making some of them.
This one has a sliding lid is why I kept it.
And the ice bong thingy is for extra special smoke.

That really is a nice cigar box but i think you missed the sarcastic humor. ;-)

Hahahaha nooo I am just long winded and like my toys,

 

[kuwl]

I am in final weeks before harvest and was thinking of
simulating Fall with temp and nuites accordingly
I hope this will break a pretty bad streak I have going.
This is my most stressful time of growing.

Maybe bring temps down to low 70's and nuites down to
300-400 PPM using only Botanicare Pure Blend Grow and
Liquid Karma at half strength?
I guess I will google it to see if anyone else has done this sorta thing.

i always gradually bring down my nute strength as they finish.

 

[kuwl]

I did a few minor changes
Light higher, Humidity 40% (it was dropping, dry outside)
Temp now 72° (fan adjustment)

They look skimpy to me but might be the Strain
Seems the spider mites are gone for sure now.

#1 was my star player, she is frosty :)
All are Afghan Kush Early Harvest

#2 is lagging behind maybe a week (Spider Mites, the few I seen were on her nothing on the others )
Looks very much like #1 in appearance.

#3 A New Star is Born lol but she is beautiful.
I dunno why tho, I fed all 3 the same nuit mix, same strength, everything the same
except #3 was put outside, seed did not pop, after a rainy week
I seen it sprouted, good ol' Mother Nature.
That's why she is behind bout a week or 2.

She is beautiful but I have one more, Strawberry-Banana
still in veg for another week or 2 ( 4 weeks old ).
Soon as 1 & 2 are harvested

 

[kuwl]

#1 buds look almost ready maybe another week.
Being it is week 6 in flower and they are supposed to be early harvest
I gotta hope they bulk up but I have no info on how these strains supposed
to look at this stage or any stage for that matter lol
Got to go with the flow

can see thick white pistils even in the loupe. Not done growing. When pistils mostly recede and die back then time to check trichomes.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

This Strawberry-Banana is 18" high and 5 and a half weeks old
She is looking very good :) Almost ready for flower tent
Feeding her @ 350 PPM very light amount of Nuites

 

[kuwl]

Today I took the strawberry-banana to the 5x5 Flower tent with the MarsHydro FC4800 led light
It's getting nuts cause they all (4) have dif feeding schedule and Nuites
SB is 22" already she growing up fast

I think I screwed up on #1 an 2 Overfed em a bit
Live and learn but still look like they gonna give me some good smoke

But #3 is gangbuster, she stacking up super nice
She is 2 weeks behind
The Afghan Kush seems to be a bit touchy when it comes to niutes
Not sure why #3 didn't burn up like #1 n 2 did

The whole family :)

#3

Smaller side branch

These are pics of flowers on #1 n 2
Getting close, you know .....looking for the amber time lol

 

[kuwl]

Yesterday I flushed #1 n 2 (Afghan Kush Early Harvest)
I noticed they were not drinking and should have been dry after 4 or 5 days since fed.
So I flushed to check PPM in drain water
It was very high 1100 PPM 6.0 PH
So I flushed again with 300 PPM 6.2 PH only using Liquid Karma 1.75 ml
I re-checked the PPM and it dropped to 650 PH 6.2
Better but my back was killing me and felt satisfied with the lower PPM
I am thinking they will finish this week I hope lol

Because of the cold air outside which is where I pump in
fresh air to the tent I have to shut down intake when the light goes out
so temps in the tent don't drop to much ( outside temp is in the low 30's)
I spent the better part of the day trying to make adjustments in tent environment
I put a fan on all the time in front of the intake duct and left the exhaust fan on low
This should pull in some air and keep it fresh also ran a 4" duct from room heater vent to
give it a lil more warn air besides the oil heater set to kick on at 65°
I will be glad when I can get the cellar set up :)
