I think my lights might be a bit close. I noticed last night the vibrant green they were showing is fading from the leaves. So I raised my lights probably 2-4 inches. I had my thermometer on the ground of the tent and not in one of the pots where the temperature was showing almost 2 degrees Celsius higher difference. If you guys think it might be nutrients or something else that I need to fix, let me know. The Cinderella 99 is looking great and bushy. I trimmed some of the dead looking leaves and did some
LST with some pipe cleaners. Also had a nice vape session with some of C99, along with my cousin and husband. Watched some Fantasia 2000 on my projector setup with surround sound, and it was pretty awesome.
I only have capsule test pills that my sister had for her garden. Hard to tell but looks like I might be a bit high Alkaline with the shade looking between 7-7.5. Will buy my own ph test kit that will be easier to use
Ok so it seems like the ph was good but neutral 7 and want it down a bit more. Plus I was overwatering them. I guess being in such big pots I was thinking the entire thing needed to be wet. I guess that comes later when they get bigger. So I have taken some used coffee grounds and have added it to all tent plants to make the soil a little bit more acidic. Since my last post I have also top my Purple Bud and I’m coming to the realization that I will need to make room in my tent for her as well. Even with this week getting nice and warm, my natural light isn’t there anymore and worry about causing early flowering. So besides the overwatering issue, I think everything is finally coming along nicely. Seeing nice consistent growth everyday now on the plants since their move.
Well Day 36 and everyone is in the tent now and as of today they have all been topped (minus C99) Pennywise was right when they said they would take off in the tent. Great seeing nice continued growth and changes happening everyday. Some look good and sometimes they just amaze me what happens overnight. Don’t see it here in these updates but check my link below and I have them all showing back to back for the 7 days of growth. I think this beginner is starting to hit a nice stride in the grow, but will knock on wood just in case.
Day 38 and Cinderella 99 is just getting bigger and bushier everyday. Plus I have some good visible growth happening on my Purple Bud from her topping. Watering them every third day after my overwatering mistake from last week. The pics don’t look the best as I took them after watering them but going strong. Plus new marking stakes done to make things easier picture wise for me and others to read, but again Cindy is making it hard to her name.
Day 40 and all is looking good. Looks like the new growth is coming nicely from where they were topped. Looks like I might of FIMed my Cookie Monster but that seems to be an ok mistake from looking at its growth. Lowered my light a couple of inches again and will keep a close eye in case they need to be moved up again. Again that Cinderella 99 clone is just a thing of beauty every time I open up that tent
Day 42 Seeing some nice growth happening with Gorilla Bomb and Cookie Monster. Purple Bud looks like it is struggling a tiny bit but have new growth near the top where they were topped. (Wondering if it’s still a bit of shock from its move in doors) Also as of yesterday I added a teaspoon of Nutrite Acidic Ph pellets for the soil for all 8 planters. My ph was still about a 7 and want it down to 6-6.5 from my understanding. Plus, what can I say about my Cindy clone other than it is a beauty
Day 44 Not too much of a change since 2 days ago. Cindy is still looking impressive and at about a foot tall. All my other plants are now roughly 7.5-9” tall now. Keeping them off nutrients for the week of watering as you can see some burned tips on Cindy. Lost a big fan leaf off my Gorilla Bomb from the LST I had been applying to it. If anyone sees something concerning that i’m not seeing. Please feel free to let this newbie know what I should do.
Day 46 WOW is what I have to say to some of these gals. Yesterday my Gorilla Bomb just decided to grow and explode outwards with new growth, not as much today. Cookie Monster Is constantly showing great progress each day. Sensi Star, Grandaddy Purple and Black Domina are really getting big and bushy too. Cinderella 99 is just the cream of the crop and impresse me every time I check in on her. Thinking 1 or 2 more weeks of vegetation and will make the switch to the 12/12 light cycle for flowering. Unless you think I should maybe go longer than that to make sure my yield will be nice and big.
Will do, but the tallest any of them are at is about 13 inches. Tent is 7 feet tall so I guess I can let them go a bit longer and hopefully get another topping done as well
