This week we developed the first set of true leaves, finally got one of the Grape App seeds to pop, so I added her to the lineup.

Wonder Woman

NYC Diesel

Grape Ape (jury still deciding)

NYC Diesel #2

Week 2: everyone is making their way into increasing production to full veg. 2 nodes developed with a 3rd being thrown out the top. NYCD will be moved into the last 3 gallon pot that Grape Ape was in once she outgrows her current cup

Built an App to show me the Humidity and Temp ️of my room no matter where I'm at!

Hi Steve

I'm kinda new to everything here. You have some very promising little ladies. You look like you are doing very well. Think I'll subscribe to your journal to learn more things. I, too, am a sativa fan. Good luck to you.

Nice to meet you Bode, ladies appreciate the compliment

Week 4:
ScrOG net attached to walls for control and risk aversion ️
Wonder Woman reached the ScrOG net (first to do so).
Strawberry Banana joins the family! New seeds came in from Dutch Seeds Shop.
NYC Diesel does not like the fall weather (max temp 87°F). Need to find a better way to control temperature + humidity
Ran out of space in my grow room for the second NYC Diesel. Hopefully giving away for free to a new home today!

App is coming along. This week I've been working on a cloud function to calculate weekly averages and charts this week I'll be trying to get the averages to display

Week 5: small flies/gnats
I don't know if I should be concerned, so far they have seen harmless enough. I will keep you posted

My friend convinced me to name my plants. Gave my friend the extra NYCD plant for no charge. Even gave them a smart pot and soil taught them how to transplant.

Houston, we've reached the net
I bent Lynda too early. As you can see I'm now letting nodes up more

Brittany is still catching up. At 2 weeks old she still has another 2 weeks to grow before we flip to flower.

Which brings up flower I plan to flip exactly 2 weeks from today. The switch will consist solely of a change to 12-12 lighting (12 hours lights on, 12 off)

Without further delay...

Update on the app I've presented daily averages on the mobile app.

Working on storing weekly average

Also probably high and lows for each day/week

 

[SativaSteve]

Week 6: Still Veggin
As lower nodes reach the ScrOG net I'm gently redirecting them to openings.

Samantha is trying to flower... the lights have been on 24/7 for the past 6 weeks. Despite that, she's throwing out hairs, producing some trichomes, and hardening the main stock. The hard main stock makes it difficult to bend without snapping off leaves/nodes need to find a new way to encourage horizontal growth

Brittany has 5 fully developed nodes and is working on #6 right now.

Flip to flower in 1 Week

Re: SCROG - LEDs & DropCloths

Mobile app :
Added daily max/min temperatures
Added tab for Sense (Sensors)
Added tab for Predict (AI garden predictions)
Added tab for Act (Actors to act on predictions)

Working on making it scalable.Currently all sensors are hard coded into the app. To programmatically display ALL sensors a user has, I need to restructure the database

Week 7: The Last Vegitation

Right now everyone need watered 1 gallon every 3-4 days

I have started using 1/4 the recommended doseage of Advanced Nutrients Micro, Grow, Bloom series.

Brittany finished week 4 of veg. She'll be with everyone to start flowering

Today I switched on my timer so the my lights (the bottom row ) stay on for 12 hours each day, and off for 12 hours each day

Any questions? I'm all ears

Samantha (Super Jack)

Lynda (Wonder Woman)

Katie (New York City Diesel)

Not much progress on the app this week I'll see if I can finish some features this week

Re: SCROG - LEDs & DropCloths

My first grow was less than a year ago:

First Time - SCROG - Wonder Woman

I yielded from each of my 2 plants approximately 60grams (120g total)

Last year's plants had about 6/7 nodes.

This season plants have 10 nodes, a better ScrOG net ️ and better lights

I am very excited to see how these babies turn out

Week 8: A New Flower
Week 1 of Flower

First week of 12 hour lighting

Not much watering needed this week

No problems, everyone is making the transition smoothly

Mid-week: Disturbance in the ScrOG:
I think Brittany may actually a man by the name of Brad
I've had nothing but trouble so far with Dutch Seeds Shop. First they sent me 15 dud seeds which I couldn't get to germinate they then sent me a second batch which seems to be MALE

If anyone's got an opinion, please reply so I can get better feedback before cutting Brittany/Brad down

Week 9: Return of the Plant
Week 2 flower

Christine came back (renamed B). Turns out the person I gave her to took very poor care of her. All I can do is give her love and hope for the best

With Christine comes a NEW LIGHT! Vipar Spectra 600W LED (Full Spectrum)
New Total room wattage: 1200W

Samantha threw out her first amber pistil. She still has lots of bud growth to do though
