Kuwl - Rollin' Along

[kuwl]

One day later and they look 100% better except for some slight burn
Maybe I over did the potassium.
Just waiting for the black out tarp to get here for the GH

I am thinking about putting one or two plants into 10 gal
cloth bags, that was my original plan for growing outside
Maybe idk yet

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Harden them before they go outside permanently.
I would not move them until you are ready to flip to flower.
That way the light change will be the flip switch and the plant will have less stress.
The first few days, they need about 4 hours of direct light and then some shade for the remainder of the day.
After a week or so, you can plant them in a sunnier spot in their final holes.

Yea, another thing I think is important is having the roots right when you set them out. I've got two plants that are huge but they were in 1 gallon containers, so I've moved them to 3 gallons, and letting the roots expand before I make my final move.

 

[kuwl]

Yes, I finished transferring to final pots today.
1 in a 10 gal the other 3 in 5 gal. (ffof)

The 10 gal in staying the cellar tent longer than the others.

Letting them acclimate in those 5 gal pots for at least a few days
maybe even a week. This week is a rainy cloudy one.
Kinda perfect for the transfer outside.

I am thinking about changing the light in the tent from florescent to
a ts1000 at 1/2 power to give them a taste of sun

The GH is being changed into a outside grow tent lol
I got 8x10 tarps for the front and back and using a
12x24 tarp to slide from back to front inside GH to cover the top and sides.
(used eyelet bolts to string nylon rope from one end to the other)
So I will have to open it up in the morning and close it at dusk
Like a tent but using sun as light source.

Next I have to cut a hole near bottom for 6" vent fan
I also will have 1 rotating fan and one blowing directly at the hatch
The tarp will have grommet vent holes at the hatch position to circulate
the air at night when it's closed up.
When it starts to stink I will attach my charcoal filter that should help some.

To me the plants look stressed already,
I want them as healthy as possible before they go out.
Should have some pic's tomorrow.

 

[kuwl]

I wanna wait till they dry out and them flush again.
maybe 1-2 gal ea of plain water.
I stuck a ts1000 at 1/2 power in there but only one plant looks almost ready
to go outside in a few more days. The others need time.

Went to ER today for my knee more x-rays more antibiotics
took 4 hrs so didn't get much done as far as the GH
I did get the last tarp I needed but thunder storms took away the rest of my time.

 

[kuwl]

Finished the remodel of the Green House.
3 are going outside tomorrow morning
Keeping the 10 gal in the cellar another week
but switching the TS1000 to full power and 12/12 for the flip.

Prob be 8am to 8pm or 9 to 9 not sure yet.
Keeping them in the shade during the day then into the tent at night.
Still sweltering hot with off the chart humy (2 inches of rain yesterday)
Not normal for this area but every once in awhile, it happens.

Fkn knee scared the shit outta me but gettin better.

My son-in-law was getting a wall built in front of his house in Bakersfield Cali (Otherwise known as South of Hell)
I brought the worker a coffee one morning and asked him "How's it goin"
He said "lil bit by lil bit" I used that mantra ever since.

I took 3 quick pic's

Tomatoe plants growing in bg

 

[kuwl]

They seem to be doing well

They all look female to me so far

 

[Frankster]

Difficult to say, I don't see anything one way or another. Back things up some so we can get a look at some of those leaves, they look concerning.

 

[kuwl]

OK here is some dif views
1st is Bruce Banner

The next 2 are Ghost Train Haze

And the other Ghost Train

Girl Scout Cookies

Yes something is wrong but can't put my finger on it.

 

[kuwl]

Maybe Cal-Mag??

 

[GNick55]

Maybe Cal-Mag??

did you recently transplant?

 

[kuwl]

did you recently transplant?

Yes about a week ago

 

[GNick55]

Yes about a week ago

ok, well better to just watch her for a few more days or even a week before reacting.
when it’s time to water make sure to water all the medium (gets wet).

Ya I am waiting for the pots to dry out completely
One 5 gal is ready to water any day, the others are a few more days away
Not sure if I should mix anything into the water tho maybe a touch of Cal-Mag
but with that burn I gotta be careful
"Give the plant what the plant wants" said the old sage.
Problem is idk what it wants this time lol

I use the General Hydroponics 3 part and I'd be using a light regular weekly 5ml/5ml/5ml + 5ml Silicate feed. it'll probably take 5 days to dry the 5 gallon pots around 80f ( mine do) meaning 9 - 10 days between feeding. and watering.as they get bigger I only go to 7.5ml/ 7.5ml/10 ml then 5ml Kool Bloom. I haven't kept up on your nute use but thats me if it helps...I found 3 gallon pots work the best for me indoors with 1 gallon of water/feed every 3-4 days although it does limit growth to a point.

 

[kuwl]

When I do feed them I will give them this:
Dyna-Grow Pro-Tekt (9-3-6) and Foliage Pro (0-0-3) (600ppm)
That's comes to about 1tsp. each of the above

I have not fed because I just transplanted into fresh ffof
I transplant every 2 weeks but this time I think I waited 3 weeks
on the 1st one from Solo to 1 gal. then another 2 weeks to 5 gal. with fresh ffof each time.
Feeding depends on when the pots get bone dry, inside it was 3-5 days.
Outside is another story so not sure how long between feeding yet.

When they start to flower I add some Dyna-Grow Bloom (3-12-6) by itself or I might add Foliage Pro (0-0-3) with it

Seems the drying out process is taking a bit longer because the humid conditions outside

I am waiting another 2 weeks before feeding unless they show some signs of a nuit deficiency.
Right now I think I am going to flush good with plane water till the leaves start to look better
Waiting for them to dry out so maybe another 4-5 days

I think I made a mistake awhile ago and gave them some left over nuites from
when I was feeding the Orphan which would answer the burn problem.

Right now they are looking ok except for lower leaves
Lots of new growth with tiny new leaves coming out all down the stem
Leaves at or near the top are a lighter green but look healthy as hell

 

[kuwl]

Flushed them good w/rain water, PMM reading a bit high at first 700-800
Got it down to 400 PPM they looking good today
New growth (leaves) all up and down stems
But they all look to be a month behind
Weirdest grow I ever had, they just don't look right to me
Not bushy enough and no side (4) cola branches
All dif strains too. Puzzles me.

here some pic's, They are 1 week into 12/12
I think I remember flowering starting about the 2nd week in.
