farmerjim's 2nd grow! Nirvana Lemon OG Haze autoflower

[farmerjim]

Day 63...

#1 and #3 are flowering out nicely. #2 doesn't realize its an auto apparently and #4 is just lucky to be hanging out. I took #5 out of the tent and moved it to the sunporch to give everyone some extra space (and to keep #2 from swallowing her up too).

Performed a res change on Friday (day 61) - takes me longer to measure out nutrients than it does to drain and refill! This is really only my 3rd or 4th full res change. The rdwc really helps with controlling root rot and keeping these plants happy.

Backed off the nutrients a little this week. Hovering in the 2800ppm range compared to 3300-3500 previously. Debating whether or not to try out Bloom powder... any first hand experience out there?

Humidity seems to be hanging in the 60s and temperatures are much more in control since I shifted the dark period to start at 10am and end at 2pm.

Upped the pH a bit to the 6.0-6.1 range since we've been hovering in the 5.6-5.8 range for most of the grow so far.

You better do a good job lol this is one of my favorite strains and I had plans to come help you smoke it so your going to need to get that yield up in the double digits xD

Mmmm chocolope

[farmerjim]

lol @Chefbjy

I feel ya @DanwingDuck - I don't think it should be too difficult though - the only part ill have to be careful with is pulling the air tubes out being careful not to damage any roots. After that, I can simply transplant into spare 5 gal bucket (in theory lol) and thats what i can use to flush. A "flower" tent and a "flush" tent I guess...

Now I will say , cloning will solve this problem . Using clones on the next round all from the same mother will make all those plants the same on the next run . Which ideally will make them flower and harvest close to the same . “Ideally” . Each seed is different and can flower slightly longer or shorter then the others even tho they are the same strain . But clones are exactly the same and should have a cycle that is exactly the same . That’s my understanding atleast .

Realizing it's been a minute... been distracted with the Dark Harvest and a little side project (www.diygrowdata.com)...

something...

alrighty - have a pretty bad ca deficiency going on. I think it was caused by a combination of heat stress from the addition of a phantom dual 315 cmh as well as the addition of KoolBloom powder. spots started to appear on monday and by wednesday plants 1 & 3 had some pretty tiger-orange fan leaves. The buds still look great and I decided to flush the system for a day or two.

[farmerjim]

The only problem with a flush in the RDWC is that plants 2 and 4 arent showing the deficiency and are further behind in flowering... good thing I've been working on a 2nd diyrdwc for the Dark Harvest! Moved 1 & 3 into the new rig to flush so I can get 2 and 4 back on nuted water. Gave a decent defoliation focusing on the leaves with the deficiency showing the worst and any large lightblockers....

here's the new rig in action...

Is it wrong to envy another farmer's roots? 😁

[farmerjim]

If its wrong I dont want to be right! #rootporn

[LurkingInTheGrass]

Agreed. +1 for #rootporn

[farmerjim]

Day 83 or something...

#2 has now basically taken the entire 4x4 over. I feel bad for #4... a couple decent colas but more like a Charlie Brown Xmas tree than anything else...

I have the Dual Phantom hitting it at an angle to hopefully fill in some of those lower areas. The light is dimmed to 65% but the largest colas are still taking in 40-50k lux.

#1 and #3 are flushing out in the new rig which doesnt get any cool air from the a/c so its a fun game we're playing to keep the temps down. My res solution was at 84 this morning but I have it down to 76 and a few more bottles of ice in the freezer almost ready to go.

going to take some trichome shots in a little bit but for now...

[LurkingInTheGrass]

So pretty

Your opening line gave me a lol. Made me think of star trek; captains log. Stardate wake and bake, something something, why is that light blinking?

[farmerjim]

I wish you could like comments /\/\/\/\

[Chefbjy]

IslandColas can like comments/replies some how. I think he has a different os or something... He showed a pic of his screen and it has a like option.

Absolutely beautiful babies you have there!!!

havested! well, 1/2 harvested... plants 1 and 3 were ready to go at the end of august. I let plant 2 take over the 4x4 and hit her with the dual phantoms at 85%. Heat became an issue the past week so I dropped it to 65%

Harvested...

Plant 1: This was the highly trained and defoliated plant. It stayed the shortest and doesn't have very dense nugs likely because of its distance from the lights given the height of plants 2 and 3. Ended up with 2.5oz after 9 days of hanging.




Plant 3: This was the second most highly trained plant. Not as much tying down so has some height. Nugs are more dense than plant 1. Ended up with 3.2oz after 10 days of hanging.





Final Flush...

Plant 2: This plant is unreal. Took over the 4x4 and basically filled it. 95ish days and going (axe tomorrow). Find my IG for videos!

[farmerjim]

OMG!!! Plant 2 is dried and jarred. Final weight... 10.6oz!!!!

that's a total of 16.4oz for 3 autos! I'm so pumped...

🤯😍🤘🤓📉
