We all have that sometimes. My grow went to hell real quick recently lol. Itll come around.

Overwatered?

Overwatered?

Honestly I’m not sure. I think the last week of up/down temps & humidity right after I moved them and watered did something.

The solo was ready to water a day early and the twins might have been able to an extra day. Probably drinking less after the stress of the SCROG.

Either way they are over watered now. Took 7L each before a bit of runoff. Need them to shake it off as we have more company coming and I’ve got a long list of chores.

Easter...argh...don’t even get chocolate rabbits anymore.

 

[Zen_Seeker]

The solo is giving concern. Added a lettuce but wifey got iceberg this time.

Twins seem better so did a bit more LST. Want the lowers I bent to come up before I flip.

We lollipoped once but LST has branches sagging. Might have to do S hooks to the net for support.

Couldn’t find a cheese cloth and nothing open yesterday so we’ll strain it today. Slow cooked for 15 hours.

Not a huge fan of most store bought honey but after licking the fork I stirred with I have to admit I like the change of taste. It’s more candy like and has lost the after taste I dislike.

Clones Veg Day 34 Week 5:

Twins:

Solo:

Twins are doing fine now after the move but Solo is still shaking off being starved two weeks ago.

Only difference between Solo and the Twins is the pot shape.

Not waiting for her to snap out of it. Still keep doing LST with the clips. Little easier on the plant than me squishing the branches.

I wish I had some advice for the solo, I’m terrible at diagnosing issues :( I hope you get the answers you’re looking for but in the meantime…I’ll take a guess and assume it’s too high light intensity and looks like it’s having issues transpiring. What’s your environmental settings where the solo is?

This is all guessing though I’m really not sure

I’m thinking that’s a part of it. All three clones where in this tent until the move and doing well.

I’ve matched the LUX this morning to be the same as the twins. Approximately 50,000LUX. (500) on a real meter. Also added a lettuce to boost humidity, it worked. Hope that’s the last tweak she needs.

Temperature goes between 19* & 28* lights out to lights on. RH can be as low as 45% but 50%-60% is typical.

Got both tents vegging at 6/2 x 3 = 18/6
Third time so it works. Gives me less dark hours at once so I can do more and see results a bit faster.

This is after both tents dark one hour:

Solo is in Zen 2.

My wife wants an easy garden to learn on. Which means I’ll most likely be given the task of tending the garden.

So I built one I invented when I was a teenager. Milk crates were red then and I used paper bags and yard cloth but the same idea. I’ll use shopping totes inside the crates this time. Hope they hold up.

Soil will be once used Sunshine Mix #4. Along with pro mix & botanicare as needed.

 

[Zen_Seeker]

Either the Heirloom Tomato popped or the Sweet Red Pepper. I knocked the tray setting things up so I’m 50/50 until I see the leaves.

Just waiting on the other 3 to pop up.

 

[Zen_Seeker]

4 hours later and she’s standing up. Still not 100% if it’s a tomato or pepper yet.

Of course it had to get the shell stuck.

Clones Veg Day 36 W6:

Solo is getting better but still wrinkled.

Twins I was able fix up but lucky.

Top two nodes looking a little yellow. I’m lollipoping this week. Trying to redirect any short branches I can and removing the rest.

The thick mass under the net is where a lot of LST & HST occurred. I’m nibbling away at them now trying to get as many sites to the top as I can before next week.

Bumped the light up to 100% yesterday and they shot up today.

Just watered last time with a full measure of Karma. Prior, after the move, I gave them half base, grow, and Karma.

Needed to make a few changes.
SCROG table 2.0:

1. Used shower curtain rings to hold net.

Liked the ones that lock closed.

2. Offset the legs so they can fold.
View attachment 1347194

3. Couplings let me add extensions.
View attachment 1347210

5. None of it is glued. It’s held together by friction and tension on the net.

Since all the parts are interchangeable I can use them to make a double stack or two separate SCROG for each tent.

I want to make at least one platform for the top “+” so I can attach a place for small plants. Like lettuce.

Ok this is dope, clever.

Little nitro tox

Little nitro tox

I was thinking overwatered.
You think nitro even with the lighter green at the top?

 

[Zen_Seeker]

Done for the night. Backs had enough.

Upshot of back clone. Bending the main stems really made a nest now that she’s growing again.

Worst time ever to break my glasses.

We’re following the overwatering theory ATM.

All three looked like Solo a few days after the move. All started when I didn’t water to make the move easier, lighter.

Also forgot to mention I’ve been tossing 20ml epsom around the top of each pot before watering/feeding.

She’s been popping back up after tucking the last two lights on. I’m still doing 6/2x3 schedule.

 

[Zen_Seeker]

More shots of Solo’s leaves.

That’s just dirt on the leaf I was holding.

The leaves feel dry and rippled. But not swollen. Tips are just a tad burnt.

Ok this is dope, clever.

I like DIY especially when it’s fixing design flaws.

I improved my tent so I could do perpetual grows. Things go wrong I needed more hight to veg.

DIY 3 in 1 Tent Space Improvement

If you have a 3 in 1, also called 2 in 1, tent you probably have the same problem I do... Zone 1: 3x3x6 Zone 2: 3x1x3 Zone 3: 3x1x3 Zone 2 & 3 are to small to veg long and are to big to just use for clones & seeds. So I made a 1/2” PVC, plumbing not electrical, 1’ riser to better distribute...
