Quick update.

Having some environment issues, temps, so I decided to chop the Kiwi and concentrate on the Red Diesel. I need to harvast asap in order to reconfigure my setup. Live and learn...

 

[Pennywise]

How close to being done was she?

I'm going to flip on Friday. Was going to see if she recovered, but decided to just save the Red Diesel, harvast, and fix my issues for the next grow.

All good. I'm happy one lady survived.

 

[Pennywise]

That bites man but you still have the diesel stock up your stash.

Yea, I was, but I rushed this setup. After I harvast this lady, and I'll be able to fix the temp issues.

Thanks for stopping by.

I wonder how much Amour Si actually thickens the cell walls?

Seems the RD is starting to bounce back. I think it was a combination of heat and high PH, climbed to 7.2. I changed out the bucket and made sure the PH was 6.0.

I was extremely busy last week, neglected my ladies, and paid the price.
R.I.P. KiwiSkunk...

I'm thinking of switching to AN Sensi Bloom, plus a few other AN enhancers. I wonder if it would cause any issues to switch nutrient brands mid grow?

Not much of an update, but I tucked her some more in hopes the middle fills out a bit.

Hopefully she'll stretch well by Friday night.

P.S. I'm so glad I was able to buy a Dwarf Star as soon as I saw the email. Sold out! .

 

[Pennywise]

That Dwarf Star must be really popular.

Great for smaller grows for sure.

Whats up Vex.. Thought i would stop by and check out your grow... Glade i did, im a sucker for scrog nets. Sorry about the heat issues but it looks like your on track and im just in time for the flip.

Re: 1st Grow - Ebb & Flow - 2x2x7 - 2 Strains - Training & Cloning - 2017

I'm good, Twox. You?

Thanks for stopping in. Much appreciated.

Yea, it sucked, but it's all a learning experience. I actually like having only 1 plant in this small tent. Helped keep the heat a bit lower. Plus, I get to concentrate on creating one large plant at a time.

Working on a separate diy clone/early veg tote. I already have a 130w 24"x18"x4" 8 bulb T5 6500 light, clone dome, rapid root plugs, clone gel, and rockwool. Plan to manually feed. Then transfer to my current late veg+scrog/bloom tent, with a DWC Bucket/hydroton, or maybe one of those square net pots . A nice little perpetual 2 plant setup, if it works out.

I'm excited for the flip, can't wait to setup the Dwarf Star on Thursday. Want her to get used to the new light before I go 12/12.

 

[Pennywise]

She'll love the new light spectrum.

I'm stoked!

I know I keep changing my mind on the final perpetual setup, but the more they grow, the more I learn. I rather use all the height I can in the bloom tent. I figure a 4' plant will produce a nice yield. Would love to hit that "11 ounce or more" Dwarf Star goal. Maybe on my next plant.

 

[Pennywise]

I know you'll get there, 1 pound plants are doable.

Dwarf Star is so close I can feel it! Lol

She's filling in nicely for Flip Friday.

Added a 2nd (better) oscillating fan down below. Helped to keep temps around 78-83. Still needs improvement. Also found a small water heater/chiller for under $150 which may suit my 1 DWC bucket nicely.

The Dwarf Star has found it's new home!

Its like Heaven opened its doors in my tent. Lol

Edit: Won't let me load pics? Says I don't have permission.

 

[Pennywise]

Congrats Vex, youre gonna love that light

 

[VexGrows]

Am I being punished for something? I can't post pics.

I just scored a 60ml sample bottle of Mammoth P from my local hydro shop. Sweet! Should last me for a few grows.

 

[Pennywise]

Ill use my mammoth p on this grow coming up.
