Doing good Bill. I bent some more branches over today. I'll take more pics on Sunday if not before. I hope I can get a more uniform fill on the screen with this grow. I see that you are going to be real busy with yours.

Going to make up for lost time in a hurry. :rofl:

Stay safe

Bill

Vanilla Kush
Day 43 in veg
Res change day

Light: 325w out of 600w. 43k lux at 22.5" from screen

Nutes: 100% of recommended GH 3 part liquid for Late Growth for 18 gal.
PHed to 5.5-6.0. Most days I add 5-7ml of PH down when topping up res. to maintain.
50ml of Cal-mag+

I did some cleaning under the screen and have been tying down branches to the screen. These Vanilla Kush require more care in bending branches than the Hawaii Maui Waui. HMW branches are extremely flexible.

Vanilla Kush
Day 47 veg
No changes in light height or power level. 5-7ml of ph- added, usually every day and res. topped up daily.

Still tying and tucking. I am still removing leaves that are blocking nodes. I will probably be able to flip at the end of the month.

The three Vanilla Kush cuttings all started the same day, but didn't grow evenly. One plant taking the majority of the screen. The one in back is a slower developing Hawaii Maui Waui that was removed from the other tray when they were flipped, so it's been in veg for nearly 70 days. It will just have to take whatever the Vanilla Kushes are fed.
When this tray is finished in about 2.5 months, this will be the home of the long flowering Panamas. I hope to get a Punta Roja pheno.

At 0200 last night we lost electricity. It came back on at 1900 today.

So the VK missed almost a whole lights on cycle.
They look fine though so hopefully no harm.

I was going to veg them until the end of the month to ensure a full screen, but I think it's best to go ahead and put them in flower. I reset their light timer and adjusted the nutrient pump cycles to shortened days.

I will be changing the res tomorrow and will keep them on a veg heavy nute load for another week.

I will also be posting pics tomorrow.

Hey @gwhunran! What a nice clean set-up, did you build that yourself? The screen is filling in nicely. Good luck!

I built it and it's changed a bit with each grow. When I decided to install AC, the whole grow area was well insulated. I then changed the lights from HIDs; a MH in one room for veg, and a HPS in the other room for flower, to complete grow LEDs. I was able to run two crops through in a season with HIDs. Now with the same whole grow LEDs in both rooms, I can manage four crops in a season.

I would not be concern of the lost of a light period; as much as I would be everything else shutting off.
They look great, so I would just put that behind me.

Sea of Green - what a perfect name. It's filling in really nicely to my eye, will the corners fill in eventually? Everyone looks healthy as can be... very nice

gwhunran · May 29, 2022

I believe it will mostly fill in. The center back one is a late starter Hawaii Maui Waui. It will stretch some so I will try and direct it towards the back corners.
The front three plants are all Vanilla Kush from the same mother. I may not fill the front up but I will still get plenty if it finishes normally.
