Schedule, Feedback?

[Bean8794]

Hi!

About to embark on our second grow. We will be growing Gorilla Glue #4 and possibly some Gelato and/or Skywalker...tbd.

We feed Fox Farm and start them in Ocean Forest soil (pretty standard). All the feeds and waters obviously ph'd and feed once - ish a week (going to do about half strength of feed so not to burn) and probably do plain ph'd water in between feeds, so feed every other watering.

10x6 tent, growing in 5 gal buckets, 20 plants, scrogging from early veg (didn't scrog last time and plants legit are tipping over from heavy buds now...many regrets). Two vipsrspectra 1200 watt LEDs which have been great.

Our first grow was pretty easy with humidity/temp. We have a humidifier and a dehumidifier, and keep a pretty close eye on RH (probably the only thing we did right in the first grow). Second grow will have much hotter outdoor temps, and we don't have central AC. We do have a standalone AC unit that we will be using if temps are too high. I included RH just to make the sched super complete because I have slight OCD.

I know flowering seems pretty lengthy (going to be observing trichs and will adjust based on that) but our GG from this grow has been taking a while to get to maturity.

Constructive criticism/feedback welcome!!! Also I would really love to hear all opinions on 18/6 vs. 24 hours light for veg.

Week 1 - adjust to light (18/6 light) 70%
Week 2 - new to soil - plain water (ph'd) (18/6 light or 24) 70%
Week 3 - new to soil - plain water (ph'd) (18/6 light or 24) 70%
Week 4 - big bloom 1tbsp + grow big 1tbsp (veg) (18/6 light or 24) 70%
Week 5 - big bloom 1tbsp + grow big 1tbsp (veg) (18/6 light) 70%
Week 6 - big bloom 2tbsp (first week flower) (12/12) 65%
Week 7 - big bloom 2tbsp (12/12) 65%
Week 8 - big bloom 1tbsp + tiger bloom 1tbsp (12/12) 60%
Week 9 - big bloom 1tbsp + tiger bloom 1tbsp (12/12) 60%
Week 10 - big bloom 1tbsp + tiger bloom 1tbsp (12/12) 55%
Week 11 - big bloom 1tbsp + tiger bloom 1tbsp (12/12) 55%
Week 12 - big bloom 1tbsp + tiger bloom 1tbsp (12/12) 50%
Week 13 - big bloom 1tbsp + tiger bloom 1tbsp (12/12) 50%
Week 14 - big bloom 1tbsp + tiger bloom 1tbsp (12/12) 45%
Week 15 - big bloom 1tbsp + tiger bloom 1tbsp (12/12) 45%
Week 16 - big bloom 1tbsp + tiger bloom 1tbsp (12/12) 40%
Week 17 - big bloom 1tbsp + tiger bloom 1tbsp (12/12) 40%
Week 18 - flush (12/12) 35%
Week 19 - flush (12/12) 35%
Week 20 - harvest (72 hours of darkness)

Hang dry/cure standard.

Happy growing <3 :)

Chart looks like a chart. But plants can’t read that chart so can’t expect em to like it. As far as veg I did 24 hrs but I really think the plants seem happier with the rest time. And you don’t gain enough more growth on 24 hrs light to be worth it. Save energy n let plant recoup. Plants want a night time there’s things that only happen lights out.

Good point ;) We will probably stick with 18/6 or 20/4 for veg, thank you!

Seriously schedule looks solid but I try following schedules and plants always want something or less of something.

Yeah...we will definitely be flexible and probably make lots of edits along the way!!! Schedule is just to satisfy my OCD ;)

Lmao yeah it will probably be better for your old than the plant,as stated before,feeding schedules are pretty much just guidelines to start off of,not meant to be exact in following. Also that ffof will have enough to get you through anywhere from the first 4-6 weeks before you will need to feed them.
