White Widow 400w Grow.

[Enforcer]

I bumped up the temperature to 77*F and that made the fans work less, which raise the rh from 55% to 80-90%. Plants are loving that. I also dropped the light to 18” off the net. Lux meter measures about 22,000 lux at the canopy. I’ll let them get use to that light level and allow them to grow into more light. I think part of my problem the last run, was dropping the light too soon on a new clone. Before the plant had a chance to get good roots established.....and over watering.

Update: begin week 6 veg.

They are looking well I think. New growth is looking good. Temps are getting colder here though, which is causing a problem keeping the tent at 77*. It’s hovered around 74* if I keep the tent closed. However, no air exchange if I do that. It doesn’t get warm enough inside to kick on the fans. Temps outside the tent are 62*. Mixed up a new res with:

RO water
Silicate
PH perfect Grow A&B
B-52
PH=6.6 (I did not adjust the res ph)

EC = 1.4-1.6, begin feeding for two minutes every 4 hours this week. If the plants start to show burn, I’ll dilute the res with some RO water. I’m trying to ascertain if the coco is drying out too much, causing the little bit of N toxicity I’m seeing. Such as dark green leaves and I think I saw one claw. But not a bad one. It was on older growth.

I did a mini flush with;
RO water
SLF-100
Photosynthesis + O
Ph= 6.1 (adjusted)

What do you guys think about under the net? Should I trim off those large 5 finger leaves under there? I did a little cleaning up of some 3 finger leaves already. I also just finished tucking them. Happy growing all!

No real need to trim them up in a scrog at this point unless things are just outrageous and your plants don't look too bushy by any means. Just fold back leaves where you can to expose any undergrowth.

I try to only take big leaves if they are blocking something substantial AND I have no way of folding them out of the way. Scrogs are awesome for that.

Nice and green..

Temps outside the tent were dropping to 53*f. Local farm store was having a sale and I picked up this little “milk house” heater for $13. Amazon sells the same thing for about $35. Got such a good deal I picked up a second one as a back up. Seems to be keeping the garage at about 68*. Interested to see how it performs overnight.

That's pretty cool!!! I hope it does the job for ya..

It kept the garage at 69* all night. I might turn it down a little to save energy. About 65* or so outside the tent allows the fans to work properly.

I think that should work for ya.

Update: end of week 6.

I’m a day early on my update, but I swapped out the res yesterday because it was empty. So I figured, what the hell.

Mixed the same res nutes as last week. I took some cuttings today and my net is almost full, so that means it’s time to flip. I’ll finish this last res of grow nutes and then mix up the bloom batch, set the timer, and change to HPS bulb. My next update will be the beginning of flower. Here we go!!!

 

[Enforcer]

The roots are insane. I really think the microbes are paying off. From a 1gal to the 3gal 10 days ago.

Pearly whites:D

 

[Enforcer]

Thought I would share these weird leaves on #3. Doesn’t seem to effect anything. I’m making an educated guess and thinking ph fluctuations. Although it could be a genetic mutation. What do you guys think?

 

[Irietime]

That’s trippy! Mosaic disease?

Maybe. It does kinda look like that from the google search. But only on some of the pics. Other mosaic disease pics were much worse. I’ll watch it closely. Hopefully I won’t need to remove her.

 

[Irietime]

I hear ya and I don’t mean to make you nervous, I was just on a site today looking at deficiencies and diseases and saw mosaic disease, then saw your pic and was like hmmm..

I see the difference... Not sure. Your not over watering it?

Know that I look at it I had a plant like that and it did not hurt the plant at all. Only that one leave had it.

 

[Enforcer]

I wouldn’t think so. Pretty hard to do in coco. Just flipped today. So I’ll back it down to 3 feedings. The pump runs for 2 minutes and I start to get run off at 1:40.

Flower, day one pic.

 

[Enforcer]

Also, just for documentation sake. Mixed up the res today of;

Sensi Bloom A+B
Silicate
VooDoo Juice
Bud Candy

EC is 1.6. As mentioned, feeding 2 minutes 3 times a day. I even already have a schedule worked out for 4 feedings when needed. Happy growing everyone.
