Mikedin’s grow journal 2, let’s go!

[Mikedin]

Speaking of the 4x8 the plants where just finishing drying from their peroxide/water foliar drench, SCREW PM I’m hitting them every 2 days 1 part 3% peroxide 3 parts water, full drench of all foliage, let dry for 25 minutes with tent open and ambient light and then lights turned on minimum for 20 minutes so I can see if they are fully dry then back to 70% lol

Past few days time lapse included

 

[Mikedin]

So there’s quite a size difference between the cookies Kush and the monstercrop clones as fast as height and width. So there’s only one correct solution in my eyes, a scrog net, the will get the back 4x4 section of the tent to herself net will be here today but I’ll get it in tomorrow, then I’ll be able to lower the lights down for the shorter plants to be happier lol

Also did a little supercrop testing on the cookies Kush, got a bit aggressive and snapped her last night but… she said screw that I’m the tallest node I’m goin for it

@CannaGranny this may be my one plant one scrog entry plant she’s about 2 weeks since flip she might finish in time lol

 

[Mikedin]

I’m impressed with the monstercrop clones they made some decent as hell main trunks they fattened up nicely I guess that’s what 4 months in veg does lol

Oh and I’ve stressed the hell out of these plants beyond supercrop more like torture I got extreme eight the “LST” and split at least 2 of them at the main trunk (over a month ago) and they recovered and bulked up even more

Nice man.
your creating sea monsters

Thank you I’ve culled plants for this run they got bigger then expected (my first photo run lol) I think I’m gunna plan for 3 plants in the 4x8 and 1 plant in the 4x4 in the other journal

 

[Mikedin]

Cookies Kush now had 4x4 of the 4x8 dedicated to herself in a scrog net. 2 weeks since flip , she’s covered in nodes that are exposed now, and she was topped about 4 rounds to start with haha she is still Really flexible other 3 plants are together in the other side of the tent, they are much smaller (except one she could probably scrog too lol

Kinda cool to have a 4x4 scrog tent plus another 4x4 scrog setup in this tent lol

Plus a new time lapse view, this should be much cooler to watch

 

[Mikedin]

Just Set a 24 hour time lapse 30 second interval to document the nodes repositioning should be cool

 

[Mikedin]

Didn’t like the time lapse 30 seconds bad interval haha but here’s how the 4x4 currently looks

All 4 had a healthy flush, and then some lower defol and some wires added for repositioning, the scrog net looks great, she really is taking up half the tent, well worth it, other 3 are quite squeezed in now lol

 

[Mikedin]

The cookies Kush is looking nice this morning, coming though the scrog net nicely now

Gunna go in and trim some more under the net anything not already through the net or really close now will be removed

 

[Mikedin]

Mmm all looking happy today, not quite ready for watering so I’ll hit them tomorrow morning, it’s early in flower so I hit them the past 2 days with some copper fungicide (saw a few spots of PM) they’ll get 2-3 days of the copper fungicide then I have some southern AG fungicide I’ll give them a weekly spray with

Tent is full that’s for sure, a little more full than I’d like lol, I’m glad I scrogged the cookies Kush she seems very happy


Added another fan in the tent lol I wanna change it up in the next run and possibly put 2x box fans angled up in the bottom corners and 2x hanging fans like I have them currently hanging from the ceiling in the opposite corners of the box fans but for now this will work lol

 

[Mikedin]

Little update today girls are looking happy as can be! Shared my new water bucket in the 4x4 journal but I’ll toss it in here since it’ll be used for both tents when it’s feed days lol

Works nice since so feed my 5 gallon buckets 2x small watering cans each every 2 days just enough to get about 5-10% runoff and they can go 2.5 days without drooping do I water once every other day, it equals to just under a gallon of water per plant every 2 days

 

[Mikedin]

Another happy day. Buckets still have some weight defenitly good until tomorrow, I’ll have to hit them when I wake up in the afternoon before work, it’ll still give them about 6 hours before lights out after watering but damn this whole tent really filled out. Not bad for 4 plants , especially with one taking up a whole side by itself lol

 

[Mikedin]

Just gave them another big hit,

 

[Mikedin]

Drying out, lights set to minimum, UV/IR bars are shut off as well when I do foliar until they are fully dry, also dehu gets set to full power
until everything is back to 35-40% RH

Like a jungle in this place after a full spray down lol 65-70%

 

[Mikedin]

Decided to lower the lights about 4” and bump up the power to 80% after they dried off

Gotta get some booster seats for the short chicks in there

 

[Mikedin]

They are all seeming happy today, watered this morning between sleeping for work tonight lol. Lowering the light 4” and bumping it up from 70% to 80% has flattened out the leaves on the tops of the plants and scrog.

Moved the camera up as well to get a higher perspective

 

[Mikedin]

Still up in the air for what will go where and in what medium etc, but this one will be a even bigger decision, the strains l, I have t decided what’s going. In what tent yet, but first strain has been secured,


No I’m not in surprise lol but I did buy them at a shop that positioned themselves on the Indian reservation, massive flower shop / dispensery, and a ton of seed strains from breeders (no cameras in the seed room) and also, no tax on anything lol, but strain one will be!!

@steamroller they did have ethos grape diamond so I may still be picking that up, not too bad price wise $60 for 5 seeds, these chem dog seeds where only $45

 

[steamroller]

I have read some say chem dog is finicky, or at least certain strains are.
Good luck with them man!

I’ve heard the same. Im kinda in the mindset I’ll put that in the 4x4 as I can dial just for her alone. Plus it’ll only be the one plant in there so I can do whatever she specifically needs environment wise, might put one outside as well depending on flowering time as im in the northeast,

Outside plan for the summer will be probably 2-3 autos scattered around the yard, possibly 2 runs of them if I can time planting inside right to move them out, and I believe I’ll be only running the 4x4 during the summer, I don’t have a lot of good sneaky spots in the yard but autos stay nice and small and finish quick so they’ll be good for my area, then I’ll fire up the 4x8 when it starts cooling off next winter, gotta get the basement carpeted this spring (tax returns lol we use them for home upgrades every year next year we will be adding hardwood to all the carpeted areas in the main floor) but then the flooring year, we’re putting in a whole house generac, bye bye winter power outage issues lol but that’s a few years out still lol

Picked up some rosin pens while I was there at the flower shop too lol, I don’t buy flower from shops though it honestly all looks 200 strains of like garbage, it’s all the same looking etc so I’ll buy some rosin pens or edibles but that’s about it lol

Got a grand daddy purp pen and a pink runtz

Still gotta decide about cookies Kush clones though I may grow one I may just give them out and put the strongest one out back and see what she can do lol

 

[Mikedin]

Upside is the chemdog finishes in the 1st week of October on average and that’s perfect for me, we still had 60’s at the end of October lol
