Super Skunk Auto & Auto Blueberry Grow 1.5 Behind The TV

[DonkeyDick]

Ah, yes. There it is.
Nil desperandum, homie. She doesn’t seem to have noticed.
You.are going to have such a budlicious bonanza. Glad to hear you are keeping the heat down because that growth seems quite dense.

 

[DarrenAdam420]

Beautiful... They are growing so FAST!

Where is my update picture? I wanna see those girls.

Lol, well I missed the window for having just the T5 light on...but here's a pic from a few minutes ago. More detailed update tonight brother

 

[Rexer]

Blueberries day 50 since germinating
Blueberries week 2.5 since first signs of flowering

Super Skunks day 71 since germinating
Super Skunks week 2.5 since first sign of flowering

So last night the humidity got high, into the 60s. I decided enough was enough and did some light defoliation. Basically same as before, opening up bud sites, and trying to increase air flow.
I also did a few supercrops as they were getting too close to the light. I'm going to try and raise the light one last time, soon as I can manage it physically.

All in all, everything seems to be on track. This evening I just topped up reservoir (details below) ph'd.

PPM- 841 (falling) after top up
Ph 6.3 adjusted to 5.9
Rh 57%
Cabinet temperature at canopy: 28.6C
Root zone temperature: 21.6C
Reservoir temperature: 21.8C

Top up consisted of 2x 4L jugs of water (one jug had 4ml cal mag, 8ml micro, 8ml of bloom, and 4ml of diamond nectar).

So apparently a big cloud swooped in and it got dimmer in the cabinet (my poor attempt at saying I switched the hps off for a minute and had the T5 on for a proper inspection).

So today was light raising day. Took an edible and got er done. Hopefully that'll do the trick, I may be able to push my luck and raise it a slight bit more, but this will do for now.

I added 8l of premixed nutrients this afternoon which had the following per 4 l jug:
4 ml cal mag
8ml micro
8ml bloom
8ml diamond nectar

PPM before: 896 after top up 899
Ec before: 1.8 after top up 1.8

Ph before top up: 6.02
ph after top up: 5.9 (not adjusted)

25ml of H202 added as well.
RH 52%

Upon checking this evening I noticed that the reservoir is about 4L since top up.

And here's the pics! @DonkeyDick I ordered the glasses and they'll be here next week hopefully!

The last two yellow pics are just to show the lil extra bit of height I squeezed in

 

[DonkeyDick]

Looking good, mate!
Nice tall colas and still reaching.



By the way.
I want to thank you for this

Thanks for the brotherly love, I think you're among the unfortunate few who understand the pain and moods that I experience. I dont talk too much on it, but suffice it to say I experienced enough pain the last few years that it changed the plasticity of my nervous system. It's very rare for an hour to pass where I'm not in pain or nauseous. But I'm as stubborn as a Donkey (which oddly enough has been a joke between the Mrs and I) so giving up has never been an option. The only path is forward.

Some days are harder than others.

I agree with your comments about the site too.

Amazing sea of green. You are one week in front of me so we should be harvesting not far from each other
Do you have experience with that strain? How many weeks do you plan to flower for? Any plans for the next run?

Thank you, its my first grow so...nope no experience lol
They are all autoflower so they'll be done on their own schedule, I already suspect it'll be a staggered harvest as one is far behind the others in terms of development. I still have a few seeds left so I might do another same run, but for now will most likely stick to autoflowers.
I think my next run though I wont do 4 in that tight a space, maybe two and put up a net to do a little scrog.

I'm not at home at the moment, but can tell you that they're happy and canopy temperature is at 25.5C.
Only pics I can take from here for tonight....I really need to move that camera, again

The system that's been working for me since I got a small tent is plant one seed each month. That way you should only have one "monster" to take care of. You just need to go by the calendar.

My problem is I was hoping to be able to dry it in the cabinet....that Was the plan, gonna have to come up with a plan B lol
Tents aren't an option for me unfortunately, not with the way the house is and a little one.

Agree, i will run just one in my next grow. It has some disadvantages too but more advantages than disadvantages in my opinion.

So an overdue update!

Blueberries day 56 since germinating
Blueberries week 3 since first signs of flowering

Super Skunks day 77 since germinating
Super Skunks week 3 since first sign of flowering

So I went ahead and raised the light again, it's about as high as I can get it...and its level again now,for what that's worth.

Current and average RH is 53%

Ive topped off a few times and it's fairly well dialed in. Why do I say it's dialed in? Well right now the PPM and ph is staying level while the water is going down about 8L a day.

Tonight's top up had the following in a 4l container of water:

4ml calmag
8ml micro
16ml bloom
4ml diamond nectar
And about 1/4 teaspoon of unsulfered molasses

PPM prior to top up: 871
PPM after top up: 971

Ph prior to top up: 6.2
Ph after top up: 5.9

So, I wont go crazy with pictures tonight, I'll post some better ones soon as my glasses will finally be here soon.

Avg temp at canopy close to light: 31
Avg temp at bottom of canopy 24C
Avg root temp: 23.44C

Blueberries day 57 since germinating
Blueberries week 3 since first signs of flowering

Super Skunks day 78 since germinating
Super Skunks week 3 since first sign of flowering

So I've had to keep supercropping on a regular basis, that is why in the pictures you can see some yellowing (yellowing is mainly at locations that were touching glass and got supercropped). Speaking of glass....my glasses finally came in! No more yellow pics!

All in all, everything seems to be on track. This evening I just topped up the reservoir (details below).

PPM- 988 (slight rise) EC: 2.0
after top up
PPM - 999 EC: 2.0
Ph 6.0 (not adjusted)
Rh 58%
Cabinet temperature at canopy: 25C lights off, 31C lights on
Root zone temperature: 23.14C
Reservoir temperature: 21.4C

Tonight's top up had:
4ml calmag
8ml micro
16ml bloom
8ml of diamond nectar
1/4 teaspoon of unsulfered molasses
Mixed into 8L of water.

I also refilled the TNB cO2 canister

Looking really good Rexer, you soon have a nice stash of pain meds!

Blueberries day 58 since germinating
Blueberries week 3.5 since first signs of flowering

Super Skunks day 79 since germinating
Super Skunks week 3.5 since first sign of flowering

So I'm still supercropping on a regular basis, and pulling buds/colas away from the light, I'll probably land up with some bleaching, but I'll still have some decent meds.

Reservoir change night!

New batch consists of the following:
80g Maxibloom
40ml of diamond nectar
25ml of H202
2 tablespoons of Epsom salt

PPM- 908 (slight drop) EC: 1.8

after res change:

PPM - 972 EC: 1.9
Ph 5.9
Rh 61% (very hot and humid outside today)
Cabinet temperature at canopy: 25C lights off, 29.5C lights on (near light)
Root zone temperature: 24.28C (avg 23.71C)
Reservoir temperature: 22.3C

Nice to see the budding under way

Nice @Rexer You are almost at the harvest point! I remember you came to my thread and said that i am ahead of your plant by a month and funny enough your autos are flowering and I am still in vegative stage.

Pictures are looking pretty nice now!
What a jungle you have
Are you finding the glasses nicer on your eyes too?

Thank you, I'm curious on how long before harvest. Time for some more reading!

Nice @Rexer You are almost at the harvest point! I remember you came to my thread and said that i am ahead of your plant by a month and funny enough your autos are flowering and I am still in vegative stage.

Man...these things were tiny babies just a few weeks ago, I remember looking at yours thinking I was doing something wrong. Yours are coming along....I've read of the stretch, but didn't anticipate how much they would grow, or the rate.

Pictures are looking pretty nice now!
What a jungle you have

Thank you, I like to hum a lil GNR lately when opening the door. Think I found the theme song for my grow lol.

Dude, my eyes thank you so much for the suggestion. I couldn't get over the difference! These even have a cheap set of lenses for the MH. Pics are also looking a bit more life like instead of a yellow haze.
