Aurora indica fem photo grow journal

[Jordann]

Saturday July 11. Watered 2 gallons each plant back at full strength feeding again. Everything sprung back up beautifully and are growing and inch plus a day. Average temp is between 28 and 34c. 80 to 110f. With the 3 lights in the tent the 6inch exhaust fan can only bring it down so much since the house is around 23c. Plants don't seem to be bothered by the heat. 5 fans within the tent circulating air and cooling the drivers. The 2 plants that have a light to themselves really show good thick bushy growth. The other 2 are showing a bit different growth but still keeping up with the others. Nice thick stems and stalks these girls are going to be beastly. I'm in no rush to switch to flower, they will grow to the point of covering the whole 4x4. I going for 3 feet of plant above the soil before I switch to flower. These indica don't stretch too much after the switch to 12s. I think they're around 2 months old right now. I've been out camping and only coming back to water the plants and go back out then next time I trimmed and tied and now I'm back for the night. I'll do an update likely on Tuesday when I'll be taking them out of the tent to add a touch of amended soil on top and tie everything down again and water. Drinking a litre of water plus daily with the high temperature of the tent. I might be testing a new light for a company, I can only say so much right now but I will be doing a grow journal side by side with one tent being their light and the other being my lights. Same plants same feed same water side by side comparison to see if their lights work as well as they say. I'll have a code for 25%off for when the lights go on sale in 2021

Very nice training Jordann looking very happy.

[Jordann]

Thursday they were tied down for their first time. They didn't skip a beat with the transplant

[SoOrbudgal]

I don't know why but i can't click on your pics and they go black on me? Anyhow i can see from this you are way to busy LOL

[Jordann]

Transplant day. Into the 10gallon fabric pots. 2 plants, 1 under spider and one under philzon. And the other 2 under the big philzon. A little over 700 watts at the moment. All I can say right now. Back out to the camper till Thursday when I'll do a better update.

[Jordann]

Go big or go home. If I can beat 3 pounds with 4 plants I will have bested myself. It's something I put time into to replace what I did before I wrecked my hip and back. Keeps me going I guess.

[Jordann]

So I did a thing. Amazon just had to notify me that a light went on sale. Bastards I tells ya 😂🤣 when I flower my 4 plants they'll each have a core coverage 2x2 lamp over top with a 4x4 core coverage right in the middle. 2 spider farmer at 150w each and 2 philzons at 100w each. And a 350w philzon in the middle. Might hit 1000 watts in the 4x4. I'll stop there I promise myself 😉. Gotta re up on nutes next month got 4 hungry mouths to feed.

[Jordann]

Here's yesterday's update June 24. Tied a few taller branches down and removed a leaf or 2. Drinking 500ml a day. Plain watered. Full strength resumes tomorrow. After I eat a fat rice crispy square laced with strong indica butter. Made a 2 pound batch of butter with a little more than 3 oz of straight nuggets. Need something to replace my seroquoil so I can get off that shit and still sleep. If it works well enough maybe I can get off my zopiclone too. Only have another 2 pounds of this weed left should last another few months. With the other 2 lbs I have lying around.

You've got a deal. Anything to get rid of our fuckwit. I'll take multiple fuckwits to get rid of his incompetent ass. Can't believe we gave him a second term. Speaks poorly of Canada. But Trump is going to get a second term. So what's that say about the us lmao. Basically good for new hydro growers is basically soil less growing but with abit of forgiveness mixed in lol.

Thx for sharing Jordann. I really like the details. I'm a soil grower...still kinda new to this but am curious about the soil packages that say, 'great for new hydro growers.' Seems a little confusing through the super lemon haze this morning. I understand about Trudeau but I'll trade you him for Trump and for boot I'll throw in Pence, McConnell, and another conservative of your choice.

great growing setup. You Northern Ontarians are serious about this...

June, 21,2020 4 aurora indica moved into the 4x4x8 tent.

Chopped 7 bagseed down and hung em up.
Completely broke down the tent, removed everything, bleached and bleached again. Wiped it down with water and put the tent back up and put everything back inside. For the time being the girls are under the 150w spider quantom board. With a 100w tri light on the back at a 45° angle as well as a 50 watt panel on each side to bring the different reds blues oranges and infrared light to the plants. As well as 10 23w CFLs at the front. 580 watts at the wall in the 4x4 all directed as possible towards the plants.
I was weighing the pros and cons of using the 330 watt philzon instead of the 150 spider. And in the end decided to use the 150. 800 watts was abit much considering they were under 3 23w CFLs each yesterday. Want to ease them into it slowly and if it feels right I'll switch to the philzon and use the spider as side lighting.

Plants are currently 40 days old, topped yesterday for the first time. They're approx 10 to 12 inch tall at the location I cut the top off.

Have been feeding full strength since 10 days above ground, with a pH watering every 3rd time. They are happy in their 1 gallon pots at the moment. When the roots start to show through the holes I made all around the sides of the pots they will go into their final home in the 10 gallon bags. Will be a full hydro grow once they get into the 10g bags. Approximately 50percent coco. 20 percent peat moss. 30 percent promix HP. Then that will be cut with perlite about 40 to 50 percent perlite and 50 to 60 coco mix.

Now that I'm down to 4 plants...and one out in the bush. I'll be itching to start some more plants. Still waiting on my order from seedsman. Going on 6ish weeks since the order was placed. Might start one or 2 and keep them in the little box (30 wide 48 deep and 36 high) would be nice to make one plant fill out the box completely.

I think I've rambled on enough. I still have lots of cleaning to do before I can relax for the night. Here's some pics of my day.

[Jordann]

Water start at 8.5 ph. Brought down to 5.78 with feed and ph down. pH at the roots is 5.67. I want to bring the soil pH up over 6 slightly. Couple pics of the tops I removed. That's all for now.

[Jordann]

All the girls topped and fed. I saved between 6 and 8 nodes on each plant. Giving me 12 to 16 branches on each. Will start with that. One girl was hungry compared to the others so I gave her a boost on nitrogen to get the color to a darker green. You can see in a couple up close photos that the girls are throwing hairs already. Even though I knew they were fems. It's nice to see hairs for confirmation.

[Jordann]

I got home from a 4 day "vacation" where I worked more than home lol. 2 plants grew into the lights. Topping day. Will post another once they have been chopped down.
