From Blurples To 29 DIY Cob's - Cannabeard's 1st Journal

[Cannabeard]

They've mostly all filled the pots out now, I'm guessing we should start seeing some pre flowering soon since the growth has been exploding. Purely basing that on what I've read since this is my first auto grow.

I've trimmed out a few leaves a couple of times so far but that hasn't slowed things down any. Mostly everyday I try to tuck as many leaves in to expose nodes to light without damaging the plant but I took out some of the older growth or growth that was effected by the "incedent".

I've mainlined the White Shark and it's currently at 4 tops that I plan soon to take to 8.

The WS clone I took should start showing signs soon. It hasn't really done much of anything this far, barely even wilted. The temp has been mid 70's with a RH of about 60%, for the most part I try to forget about it because the anticipation is a killer but mostly mist once a day with either RO water PH'd to 6.5 or a weak nute foiliar spray.

 

[Cannabeard]

All of my seedlings are loving life, slowly moved them closer to the light. Was scared to over do it the first few days of life so they're a bit stretchy but that's an easy fix with the first transplant. So far I've given them about 20 drops of RO PH'd to 6.3, and today I added just a tiny bit of Floralicious Plus to help them roots explode a bit.

DWC and Hempy's have been exploding lately and I plan to run a side by side of same strain Autos Hempy vs DWC to see what happens both in 5 gals. So that'll be something to look forward to.

Today construction will continue for the frames for my 32 cob Vero 29 build, almost have all my parts sourced. Just shy 8 cobs and the drivers. So updates coming on that department also.

Looking god bud .. I think I'm going to get a dwc bucket going. I have a brix kit coming, seen and heard great things, so I figure I'll give it a try. Have you seen the Dewey mister clones, looks pretty cool. It took my clones back in winter to take root, but on cold concrete floor lol, 6 outta 7 made it. 1st time cloning, these plants are easy to clone. Hopefully I can get back Thursday to switch to flower, these lights seem to veg great so far. Your gonna have a nice setup when your done

Thanks man! . So far the DWC hasn't been to horrid to take care of, still need to revamp it but that'll come after my panels are built. I'm very interested in the the brix kit myself, I want to go full organic for my dirt grows and the high brix seems to be where it's at. Nah I don't believe I have I'll have to look into that! I've only ever taken them in dirt until this year but I've definitely made that mistake before haha At least they mostly all pulled thru!

Yeah I'm stoked for that flip, they definitely work good for veg. I haven't found a plant yet that hasn't liked it lol

 

[Buckshot317]

That's how I done it, just cut and stuck in dirt, 6 outta 7 made it on cold concrete lol

2 of 4 panels have complete frames, 2 more panels to go and then I'll be mounting 32 heatsinks.

Makes your build lot more simpler when you put drivers out of tent, only have 2 wires per driver. Gonna be nice, how their adjustable, you can grow trees in half and scrog the other half

Glad to have you aboard Jimmy

Speaking of wires, what y'all recommend for the leads from panels to box again? I used 18g solid core last time, not the easiest thing to work with lol

 

[Cannabeard]

4 of 4 panel frames complete. Next step to tap the holes and mount my heatsinks.

 

[Cannabeard]

I now have all panels mounted with heatsinks and 1 of 4 panels have chips mounted. Still trying​ to decide where to mount the 2700k 90 cri chips. Possibly throw 2 on each center or put 4 on 2 panels or 4 2 4 4 - 4 4 2 4 on each panel. Decisions, decisions.

 

[Cannabeard]

Pretty well out of space to run the autos around the pots.

Now I'm starting to let you finally stretch upward a little, now the task will be to keep them all stretching equally with a scaled back training.

 

[Cannabeard]

I added a little extra soil to the little guys to aid those lanky stems until transplant which is still probably a week away.

 

[Cannabeard]

The White Shark is still chugging along, still waiting on the cutting I took bit it seems to be finally taking and I've noticed slight growth.

I've started a bunch of Freedom Dream.

I also threw a couple in Hempys and a couple in DWC

I've also done a few seed orders, we'll get in to that when they arrive.

Grow medium

Dirt grows are Pro Mix Organic mixed with Pro Mix Premium Potting Mix with a healthy helping of perlite and a dash of Delicious Dirt organic compost. Hempys are straight perlite and DWC is Hydroton.

The Blue Dream Autos have started to show sex

The tops are starting to get the pre flower flex and the nodes are starting to become closer and closer together.
