Invi's First Indoor Grow From Clones 2x400w In Soil

[invi]

Hey!

I thought i post a journal of my current grow - so far everything went really fine, and i hope with some advice from the experienced ones it could be kept that way.

I have 4 strains:
- critical jack herer (Delicious)
- critical sensi star (Delicious)
- caramelo (Delicious)
- blueberry (DP)

The moms are already harvested, and after some spidermite battles (i haven't seen any sign of them for more than a month) i was left with some clean & healthy clones - 13 plants in total.


I use compo sana soil for seedlings, and canna terra nutes.
I have no access to tap water, and since the stuff coming from the well is at 800-1000 EC i though i shouldn't even drink it, so i got an RO filter too.

Temp will be an issue sometimes above 32 C day time, when the girls should sleep. I hope it won't stress them too much, it might be warmer during the night cycle sometimes..
I have 2 fans blowing the wind, and so far i saw no signs of burn even though canopy distance is about 20-30cm from the lamp. Will raise the lamps a bit in a few days anyway.
RH is about 30-70% usually around 40%.


Here is how it all started:


After a few weeks, just before the flip:


and after - also made a mylar tent to keep more light for flowering




At first i used canna's recommendation on the bottle @ 5ml / l. I hope no pH adjustment is needed, since the RO water and that i use canna fertilizers only. I have a pH pen, but it tends to keep the value changing and needs calibration every week or two so i don't really trust it, and would be happy to skip it.

Later on i acquired cannaboost and got real surprised by it. After feeding the boost just in 2 days the plant grew more than in the previous 5 - only difference i did was the 4ml boost when feeding. See pic below..

Tried to place the plant at the same spot and in the same angle, but with little success =)

Hopefully next pics will show some flowers, they spent more than a week now in 12.
In case anyone reads this - wish me luck =)

looking really good so far dude, with the nutes though man just start of on 1/4 strength and if you dont see no signs of burn up to 1/2 and build your way up to full strength. keep up with good work invi

[invi]

Ohh my dog learned to open a door she shouldn't have... giving my girls an extra 9 hours of light. I'm scared.
hate her for me, cos i can't =D

[invi]

Might have spotted the first deficiency - the blueberry leaves curl back in a weird way. Or maybe heat stress..?

[invi]

Ok i think the extra light did not hurt them. Flowers are visible now.
Wanted to make a pic of all 4 strains, but then the HID started up.

Here is a sensi:


and one of the Herers:


Checked the pH after a few months again both with a pen (5.9) and liquid tester (5-6).
It seems no pH adjustment is needed with my EC.
Will check again when switched to flowering nutrient.

Thanks for the kind words whitewill!
I'm at full strength nute schedule for a month already - still getting a slight N deficiency (?), but only in the lower zone where leaves get no direct light. Better then a nute burn i think..

I took a pic of the rest:
Caramelo


Blueberry

Haha i found this little guy in the garden. Hope it will survive in my grow room =)

[invi]

Time to switch nutes i guess..

I know i shouldn't post a pic every day, but i can't hold myself back =D

[invi]

huhh more and more buds, and resin started to show


even where there is no direct light

[invi]

Im running at 1600 EC and still have PK def (dark leaves, curling back and yellow lower leaves with brown spots). Every day i find about 10 yellow leaves in the garden.

Will go beyond canna's max recommendation (1600 ec) by 100 EC every feeding until yellowing stops.

I remember reading on Mandala Seed's site about canna nutrients, and how you would kill your plants with half their recommended dosage... its quite far from the thruth i know now xD

And another bud shot (herer on top, sensi in the bottom):

[whitewill]

dude, they are looking good. keep up the good work man

Hi mate, ur girls are starting to look pretty sweet!! Be good to see sum juicy buds soon.. Patience my pet, patience..lol. Goodluk and Happy Harvesting

[invi]

Thanks for dropping by guys!
Unfortunately the blueberry looks a bit sad - maybe i should feed aditional PK to her. The rest looks ok so far - i thought i spam some more pics...
