2nd Grow: 1st Real Journal

[mk2SMOKEY]

Hello everyone,
This is my 2nd grow with hopefuly me needing less help and a more detailed real journal along the way.

This is what we'll be using:
Tent:gorilla tent 2ft-2.5ft-7ft.11in
Inline fan: Ac Infinity t4
Light:Spiderfarm sf2000
Fan:Usb oscilating fan x4
Pot:8Liter fabric
Medium:Canna coco plus
Nutrients:Advanced nutrients for coco
Water:Tap/left for 24h
Large room dehumidifier
Large room aircon unit
P,H pen/EC pen,few hygro's,small hanging dehumidies and PH down.
Plant ties/Snips and Small speaker so they can listen to some tunes.
Seeds:
Mephistogenetics-Grapewalker kush(GWK),
Mephistogenetics-Creme dela chemxSkywalker(CDCxS),
Dutchpassion-Auto Blackberry kush(BBK).
Nutrients:Advanced nutrients-Connoisseur coco grow A+B, Connoisseur coco bloom A+B,Calmag,Vodoo juice,B52,Big bud,Bud candy,Overdrive and Flawless finish.

Right then,were to start,This is my 2nd grow with a proper journal.I had a lot of help with the 1st attempt due to me under/overfeed,not giving nutes at the start,mold due to high humidity and then being blasted with hot weather which rose the temps in tent.

DAY 1:Both Mephisto's was placed in a cup of room temp water for 24h.

Day 2:Then into solo cups and wrapped in teatowels and placed ontop of fridge with temps around 23c.

Day 3:Then into the tent with the light on timer and at 20% intense and 16inch from top of cup's,this is when i placed blackberry kush into cup of water,the same procces as above.(all solo cups had a blast of ph water with calmag and vodoo juice before placing seed's in).

Day 4:I have 2 girl's above ground saying hello,(i did say hello to them both haa).Blackberry kush is in solo cup wrapped in teatowels and ready to go into tent tomorrow with her sisters.

Day 5:The BBK has gone into tent with her sisters.Just waiting for my 8L pot to get delivered for her.
1x small fan inside oscilating,inline fan is not on yet.

Day 6:BBK is just playing hide and seek with her sisters,tomorrow she will be found haa.Still no sign of my 8l pot,might have to use 10l and not fill to the top.
Thanks again for taking time to read threw my journal and hopefuly we'll have a nice haul at the end,hopefuly no mold with having the extra lady in there partying.Please feel free if i'm doing anything wrong to give me a shout,thanks again.(the lovely and friendly people who helped me out on my 1st go,there maybe 1 or 2 more names)

I got here through the link in your sig. I looked through the journals earlier and did not see yours, so, the sig link was very helpful. Not sure why I didn't get the tag but, it's all good I'm here.

While your here please check out my Journal as well, Link is also in my Sig.

Hello everyone,
Just a quick update with a couple of pictures of final 3 in there own little homes.

1.5L tapwater left for 24h then 0.8ml calmag+0.7 mlGrow A+B + 0.7ml voodoo juice,PH 5.8-20.8c
Roughly 100ml each for CDCxS and GWK.
BBK-250ml water 24h left then just 0.1ml voodoo juice ph5.8-20.9c and she only had around 80ml of this

(Lights on)Temps and humid in the tent are:22.3c and 65%,
(Lights off):20.2c and 75%.

They are doing ok imo,i will also be removing solo's the weekend.I'm expecting a slow start then foot to the floor at week 2-3 onwards.
P.S there is only the light and inline fan that are plugged in,everything else powers off 2 powerbanks which i charge every 2 days(at work aswell haa).
Thank you

Nice start to your grow journal @mk2SMOKEY

Keep an eye on them when they get bigger, if you are using tap water. Is you water hard or soft?

Stay safe, and grow well my friend,

Hello Tok,
Thanks for stopping by and the comment.
I'm not sure about my tapwater,all i know is that it's 140ppm and i let it stand for 24-48h before use.
Thank you

 

[Morda Grown]

Looking Good!

Hello tokin,was ment to say it's 6.4 PH aswell,thanks

 

[Tokin Roll]

I believe that may be considered soft water.

I have hard water and I use a portable RO sink top unit to bring my ppm's down to zero.

Every ppm in the water is less nutrient you could use.
Just a thought.

I did look at one of those 4 or 5 stage water things,i only looked at the picture and it put me off,there was pipes and tubes coming out of this contraption.I realy don't have any more space to put things were it's not in view from guests if you get me.
Would a normal filter jug which goes in the fridge.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
just a quick update

Not much going on at the moment,it was like this last time so i was expecting this to happen.
I have gave them a little blast of feed around 100ml for CDCxS and GWK,around 80ml for BBK of the same feed-into 1L goes 0.4ml GrowA+B/0.6ml calmag and 0.5ml voodoo,PH5.8 /ppm340/20.8c.
I also used 6L water with 3ml GrowA+B/4.5ml calmag/3ml voodoo and 3ml B52,PH5.8(i didn't ppm+temp check sorry)with this mixture i run 2L into each of the fabric pots to get them the same kind of PH/PPM medium as the solos.Not sure if this is right but it sound right in my head haa.

Slighty raised light intense to 40%(a couple of percent a day from 20% at the start),around 45cm from top.

Here they are if you would like to take a peep.
Thank you

Hello everyone,hope you're all well.

Here we are at Day6--9.
Still growing nice and slow as i was expecting,hopefuly by next weekend they will pick up the pace(fingers crossed).

All 3 have had a little drink again of around 100ml each,into 1L water goes 0.6ml calmag/0.5ml growA+B/0.5ml voodoo juice.
Tomorrow i will be giving them the same amount of feed but with 0.5ml B52 aswell,i will also be making 6liter water with 4ml calmag/3ml growA+B/3ml voodoo juice/3ml B52 with this mixture i will be poring 2L into each of the fabric pots so they'll be ready to be removed from solo's and into there final home.I'm thinking the coco should still be moist so holds together better when removing.

Here they are if you want to have a look.
Thank you

Hello @mk2SMOKEY hope you are doing well today.
Great start to your new garden.

Stay safe.

Hello Bill,i'm fine thanks and hope your well too.
I was feeding every 2 days but from today i will be going with everyday,this is what i did the 1st time around when they was in there final pot to start with.
You think i should up the nutes?? or with me feeding everyday from now on they should darken more.,i was thinking to work my way up to the ratio of 1ml nutes to 1L water as my last attempt finished with me feeding 1ml to 1L and didn't go to bad.I might even give them a bit more than the 1ml this time around and see if they like it.
I am PH-ing to 5.8 as you told me to before.

Please feel free to scrutinize what i am doing.A VERY BIG THANKS


p.s- i will be putting up a little post/pictures on my old thread about how my 1st 2 ladies taste will be after a small cure

Sorry about the ph I have trouble keeping track sometimes.
1 ml per liter doesn't tell me your strength.
What nutrients are you using?
Daily feeds at about 300 ppm or so is what I'd be giving at this stage.
Then gradually raise ppm,s as required throughout their growth.
Stay safe.
Bill
