HulkBerry By Bartydiggerman

Those bulbs will work..I like the daylight 5600 k CFLs from homedepot..I also use the 4 foot aquarium daylight flouros..for the blue light preference of seedlings..but years ago I only used CFLs they work..once seedlings get third set of leaves I add som clip on lights with red violet spectrum..tomatoes plant lights..but keep those at 24 inches..cause they are a hot spectrum of light
My Purple Kush girls..one got singed..by a close call with CFL...she's out of frame the other 4 are posing...lol

Sound sound
Yea the extra bulb is actually just clipped on so going forward I can introduce a red/violet a bit higher to help,
I like using this smaller space for these as it’s easier to manage my temp etc untill my main rooms sorted

Nice you got this grow my brother! I love the grow table I made..it's super simple and no tent or expensive lighting..if anyone wants to copy it I will draw up some basic plans..
 
So #HulkBerry both @ Day #11
both are now under their own light,
Could this slight light change be the reason the furthest one pictured away has a slight darkening of stem?

Ph water was @ 6.8 when watered this/their morning with 25% run off

Was her first water after repotting, she was ready for it (as I dry weighed a 4” pot to compare with) dry to first knuckle into top of pot also

#1 didn’t react like this one has (stem colour wise darkening ) just had an explosion of growth on her canopy no height growth @2” from light
She seems perfect

Obviously she’s trying to tell me something but I’ve no way of getting/buying anything to remedy this tonight 8pm :-(

I also may be worrying for nothing...

Any thoughts?

or see what she does overnight as I’ve not much choice treatment wise

Usual parameters good on temp/humidity
 
Day #14 #Hulkberry #QRS

Watered #1 (right under side of photos) she was feeling light (4 days since last water)
ph 6.5 bit of run off

#2 nearest thermo not far off needing a water, gonna presume the slight darkening of her stem is a genetic ting, canopy’s boomed today catching #1 back up :)

5 days till I can get them into main grow ‘area’

peace

ANY comments welcome

no sign of any other Peskies either thankfully!
 
Day #16 #Hulkberry #QRS

Both coming along nicely I think...
033B181A-C4AB-49A3-A762-1056D976FB9E.jpeg

Usual temps/humidity within range
Both a day or so away from next water

Took some advice with regards to fan at this early stage, I was gettin a fair bit of bending on the stem which was stressing the hell outta me so eased off with the fan for a week or so till I’ve got a bit more growth??

leaning to changing and using a root pouch bag for final planting (12ltr pot) as our day time temps are unusually low, so they’ll offer a slightly better option to keep soil warmer at lights off??

My general info conclusion are these pots are the better progression on from plastic pots... thinking if this small change could increase yeild why not... as I’ve only the two going obviously there’ll be more watering but I can live with that, and it’ll reduce my margins for error with overwatering aswell??

As ever any thoughts or input is welcome

Peace

Day #19
All looking good I think??

#2 watered to within a 1g on the kitchen scales to #1s watered weight with runoff, might be a bit precise but hay-ho
Following Emilia's watering guide now,slowly and calmly best advise I think I’m ever gonna come across!!

main room is finished and good to go

Question is... should I move these little ones into there now under the main light set on the highest (1.6m away) to maximise light an day by day lower it until it’s at correct height to not scorch them or leave them another week or so untill I’ve got some more growth in controlled cupboard?

I don’t wanna blow it at this point cause I’m working next 4 days straight so won’t be on hand if it goes tits up (they been fine in nursery last 18 days so...) I can potentially do it this Friday after 3 more days in nursery and then be on hand for 3 days to watch and adjust light accordingly.. 1” a day to desired height?

They seem to be loving the small area for now...

ANY HELP APPRECIATED
Been advised to get them in soon as which does seem logical
I’d appreciate someone just saying get em in if they need to be...

peace
Thanks for looking if any one is...

So #HulkBerry x2 @ Day #23
3 full sets of fan leafs now grown
0D2DFFE6-EEB5-42D2-911E-B7D945C548D3.jpeg

Both had a water @ Day 21 so was ready to pot on today, pre prepared new pots with bio-bizz Allmix with Ph 6.2 water 24hrs before re-pot,
When the girls woke up I had a quick check of the root of #1 an they were ready so full steam ahead with the most nerve wracking 1/2 hr I can remember...
82F25126-FFEF-4CC8-974A-31EE4A4FBB33.jpeg

Nice firm root ball into new 8” pot gently, light water of Ph 6.2 round outside edge of my root ball hopefully how @Emilya has kindly suggested in her post about watering methods

Both in main room now on 18/6 cycle under Sunmaster 600w @ highest setting to be lowered day by day (unless I can reduce distance faster??) until 400mm away
Rh @52-66%
Temp @26oc(ish) just ironing out fan speeds over next 24hrs to find correct temp

See how they go...
Happy so far! leaves have perked up in last hour or so

any input welcome

peace

Day #3 Veg
Seem to be settling in sound after potting up and re-homing

Had to add in a 400w oil heater to kick in at sleep time as room temp bottomed out first sleep to 12oc
Had 40w heat mat on under pots lined with a layer of 5mm cardboard incase as I wasn’t sure how low the room might go as it’s colder now than when I ran my trials a while back
(school boy error not for seeing the temp diff)
Don’t look to have effected them too much so hope I got away with one cool evening
Growth is booming now

Light lowered by 100mm over two days so getting closer to correct height maybe two days off...

Temps and humidity in range 22-26oc RH 50-65%

Gonna keep a closer eye out for roots showing this potting stage after I think a close call with starter pots,

Gonna go up to 12.5ltr round plastic for one and 22ltr root pouch for other see how they differ for next grow plan

See how they go

Peace
 
So Day #5 veg

They’ve been under 600w sunmaster now for 5 days

Do these girls need putting into their final containers?

My feelings are there was little transplant shock from 5 days ago they’ve had their first water today and I’ve got roots showing again same as I had on 4” pots,
7DC7249F-232F-4D4E-879B-27757034182C.jpeg

I’ve pre-prepared their final homes with Bio-bizz All mix prewatered with 6.2ph

Height has doubled
Leaves are now reaching past pot edge,
I’m concerned about leaving them in these pots much longer....

Also having to switch lights to 400w as the rooms too small to extract heat fast enough off a 600w (got to the scary 29.9oc mark )
Same brand Sunmaster so hope the wattage change helps

Here’s how they looked before a water following #emilya watering guru’s metheod

Room temps and humidity within ranges
Got a little low at sleep time so slight adjustment to oil heater for tommorow

All looking good happy so far

Peace
 
All looking good Day #9
Watered to run off @6.19 ph water as pots were light on pick up
Temps and humidity all fine
Cold night again so temps dropped a little lower than I’d like at some point late into night, don’t seem to have too much effect last time but will adjust heater for following sleep cycle

Decided to go with both plants into 22 gal fabric final pots

Peace
 
Day# 14

All looking good

Watered today at 6.12ph following usual routine

48hrs between watering, oddly ones taking a quart less now than previous feed to run off...

Pots ready for the girls if their 8” pots are dry tommorow morning either way they getting potted up over weekend as I’m busy as next week an def won’t be able to sort till following week

67973522-DC63-4CD7-A3A0-CA4C15CC2353.jpeg

Had to nip 4 bottom leaves off as they were droopped down onto soil (2 off each plant)

Temps and humidity within range until last hour this morning when humidity bottomed out to 30% as humidifier ran dry

Changing nute line aswell
Going to bio-grow
Bio-bloom
Bio-heaven
Fish mix
Top-Max
Acti-verA as foliage spray
Applied a liberal spray of acti-Vera/Fish mix an will do so throughout grow @ recommended 1ml per ltr


Didn’t look into Nutes any where near enough as I should an made a basic/large error in buying canna A + B for coca, not the cheapest lesson but can potentially use on next run and get correct medium...

Anyone run bio-bizz nutes?

Do I need to worry about needing cal-mag?

Can’t seem to find out one way or another, am I better having it incase they show a deficiency later

Learning lots as they’re growing, my confidence is growing with them and their management or lack of!!!

Any input or advice is welcome

Exciting times

Peace

Day #16 #HulkBerry x 2

Repotted onto 22 gal root pouch

Medium Bio-bizz All-Mix

400w sunmaster bulb
18/6 light cycle

Fed with
Fish mix
Bio-heaven
Acti-Vera
@ recommended dosage per ltr
6ltr to run off between both girls following @Emilya watering guide
Ph’d to 6.19

Applied fish mix/Acti-Vera as foliage spray on leaves

Root balls looked great on repot so happy so far

Only aspect of a problem is a lower fan leaf seems to have yellowed somewhat, after watering I decided to remove said leaf as it was drooped right down onto soil and was concerned about mould/fungus forming etc,
Can anyone offer any advice about what I can do? I’m thinking cal-mag deficiency?
