Hey 420! How's everyone doing?
Im growing LSD and Red Dragon from Barneys Farm in a 4x4 vivoson tent with a Perfect Sun CoB (1st grow with it). I use 5 gallon air pots with Ocean Forest soil. As the nutrients go, I've been following the Fox Farm schedule fairly close and add a little silica and Great White here and there. The only part I dont do is foliar feed. I started off 1/4 strength and keep upping it until I reached full strength or the plants start to show issues, in this grow I reached full strength before the tips started to show any signs of issues. The intake for the tent varies depending on the weather, if its under 60 out I draw air from outside. If its over 60 I take air from an A/C'd room. The exhaust is a 330cfm 6" fan drawing from a carbon filter and pushing the air through a light box I built for the LED and then vents out through a ceiling fan that constantly draws 80cfm 100% of the time. The big fan kicks on when the canopy reaches 80*F. I also put an exhale co2 bag in the tent. I didn't expect anything from it since I remove air so fast from the tent but I gained 4 inches of growth before I started to get light burn. So, I'll keep an open mind about that. 4 inches of extra head room is a huge gain when youre working in limited space.
Im currently 4 weeks from harvest. The grow went very well during veg, the only thing that went wrong was the Red Dragon got a little stunted in the Ocean Forest as a seedling and lagged behind the LSD for most of the grow after that. The Dragon also has been a veg monster, requiring heavy weekly defoliation and even now after the growth period is over its still a super bushy plant. I'll probably go in there one more time to try and get some light penetration for the lower parts. But its going to be a multi stage harvest no matter what.
The LSD grew great during veg with ideal node spacing, it really is an easy plant to grow. I topped it and pulled it over a few times before I put the scrog over it and then just let it fill up.
Once I went to flower on April 4th both turned about the same time and have stayed fairly even paced with each other. About 2 weeks ago however the LSD started to show signs of toxicity with major clawing, so I flushed and it bounced back. A few days later I noticed a some signs of deficiencies (brown blotches) and suspect that the soils pH was dropping. As of the last few days I've been mostly just watering with 6.8-7.0 pH in hopes to bring it back up a bit. Over this weekend I haven't noticed too much of a change in conditions so Im hoping the pH was the correct guess and its getting back under control.
