White Widow x Sour Diesel, Orange Zkittles x Sour Diesel & sativa x ? (Photoperiod)

[Bluey]

Lifted lights on flower room. 580 to 630 PPFD. One light can't go any higher. On bloom only now EC 1.6 pH 6.2.

Hopefully this stretch doesn't go too bonkers or I'll have to dim my lights, which would suck big time yield wise.

[Bluey]

Supercropped mother EC 1.6 80%bloom 20%Veg + Si to all three this feed. Taking about 1½gal each one every day now.


Clones are coming along. EC 0.6 on the two smallest stressed looking ones and 0.8 on the topped and LST three. The three are looking great. The ttwo are very very yellow but should survive my brief period of nute torture and bright lights in their face.

Man oh man Bluey she's gonna explode at the bud sites i can't wait till she produces herself

[Bluey]

I'm going to need a second net to hold these up as it's going to want to fall over. This will be the fun bit, keeping the buds off the floor and the roots in the pot.

It's been a real joy growing something completely different to what I've ever done before and I'm really looking forward to smoking these girls once cured.

[dirtymike]

that's one thirsty girl. Flower time is going to be explosive.

[No3odiesShad0w]

That's going to be the earth boxes in a month. They'll be drinking over a gallon a day. If yours are drinking over a gallon a day now, you'll have fun with watering during flower. They're looking really good man... Really coming through with the liquid nutrients. It's a learning curve for sure but you stuck with it and it looks like it's paying off.

[No3odiesShad0w]

I still want to try the liquid nutrients one day, that's why I watch your grows closely. I get to work out the problems and schedules/quantities. I can squeeze a 5 gallon fabric pot with Coco/perlite mix on the side. Maybe I'll give it a shot again this year if I have the space. Thanks for the meticulous posts with data for everything you're doing 👍. It's a good journal for you and a good watch when trying to learn.

Day 14 of the flip

Supercropped OZ x SD



Sativa x from my collection, still no preflower. The sativas are normally 3 weeks from flip for preflower, this one will be sooner.



WW x SD



Constantly trimming almost every feed. Very very laborious.
Bloom + 30ml Si + 5ml CalMag Ni into 4¾gal EC 1.6 pH 6.25



Still stretching them out. Lights 100% full height PPFD 640/680

These girls look perfect. Not one imperfection on any leaves. I am gobsmacked. Now to stuff things up.....where are you my friend anxiety...lol.

Temps 26.5⁰C day 24⁰C night RH 55 to 60%

I must say this is what I love about growing cannabis. You start out completely witless and my first plant under a light 38 years ago turned purple at 2 inches and fell over and died. For the next 35 years I grew outdoors and loved it. Now back under lights and I am growing the best bud I ever have with great yields. I must stop breaking branches off. I learnt it all here.

Edit. Have started to wire the stems to the net of the supercropped mother. They are falling onto the floor if I don't and trimming is a nightmare as everything was moving around.

5 OZ x SD clones in 7.5gal pots

I'm giving the 3 good ones bloom (by accident, ill fix it in 3 feeds) slight mag def on one EC 0.8 pH 5.95

The two runts have healthy new growth. Still on previous nute mix.

Turned the lights up a bit. Temps and RH unchanged.

[Bluey]

Added 2x 30W 660nm/730nm bar lights over the centre of the short and stumpy sativa x to promote some stretch. It's only a day or two off of preflowering.

Reading a nice 680 to 720PPFD right down the middle now and main lights all at full height. Day 15 of flip

[Bluey]

First sign of problems. WWxSD.

Two issues

Yellow splotches on higher to top new leaves on about 6 leaves same branch. Some minor pigment loss on some edges.



A dozen leaves pigment loss in mosaic pattern, mid to higher level across the plant. Could be genetic, could be TMV (but no curling). Don't know what either are so will stay the course.

[No3odiesShad0w]

I've def seen that on my plants before. I think it's a pH issue..... Or it could be acidity or the calcium. I wish I could say what but I wasn't taking the best notes back then nor did I know as much as I know now. Remember... When I used to flip to flower and then 21 days after flip, I would stay getting yellow spotting and the leaves would start falling off soon after that. The gorilla glue defoliated herself it got so bad.

[Bluey]

Not sure what it is, pH in the medium first guess, too much PK too early possibly too but she's into flower now and doesn't have too much going on so I should be able to manage it. 🤞

[No3odiesShad0w]

My bloody Runtz is looking a bit rough

[Bluey]

The splotch marks are bright yellow. Upper leaves and new growth only. Maybe fluctuating pH.

The mosaic is just pigment loss and minor but upper fans only large to medium size.

No idea exactly what us going on.

[Bluey]

Nutes to flower room 25ml Si to 4¾gal & bloom to 1.6 pH 6.12

Nutes to clone cupboards all around 0.7/8 mix of veg & bloom nutes and calmag if theres room. pH 6.0

[Bluey]

5 OZ x SD clones now doing better.

I have 3 quite strong ones doing well and 2 I've tried to poison with nutes and fry with light and locked out its essentials, now doing much better with nice new green growth and not mutated either. The 3 strong ones have stretched too much as I had to be kind to the ones Id beaten up on. Sorry girls.

The 3 need their second and 3rd top now.

[Bluey]

Flower room 17ml Si + bloom + 6ml calmag into 4¾gal EC 1.6/7 pH 6.21


Supercropped OZ x SD closest, sativa hybrid centre, WW x SD furthest and stretching the most...note the supercrop is stretching mostly horizontally.



OZ x SD supercropped mother


Sativa hybrid now in preflower



WW x SD, stretching a bit much but I put a lot of that down to me breaking its limbs so not able to flatten it out properly. Some were fully snapped off but have recovered, others didn't, hence the unusual shape.



Light is approaching 800 PPFD at some of the top bud sites...and Im still trying to stretch it out. I don't want too much more light at this stage.

[Ckbrew]

Is that all one plant?

[Bluey]

The top photo is three plants. The next photos are cropped to one plant. The supercrop is 5' x 3', the sativa hybrid about 3'6" sq. & the WW x SD about 4'6" x 3'6" (if I could have stretch this one out she would have been a comfortable 4'6" sq but I snapped too many nodes off and had to tape and bind them and too risky to try and flatten out unfortunately. )

[Bluey]

Temps dropped 24/25⁰C day 23 night. RH% should go down because of more AC running 🤞 Not using dehumidifier yet but might have too.

Edit RH low of 54% on AC off trigger and 61% high on AC on trigger atm. Guess that's ok atm.

[SoOrbudgal]

Good job Bluey your on top of it man is she huge.

[Bluey]

EC 1.7 bloom + 15ml Si into 4¾ gal pH 6.2 into flower room stretch on far WW x SD is big and hopefully it's done, about 18" so far. Stretch on the sativa hybrid looks like it only began 3 or 4 days ago and limited to about 6" so far. I can't measure the stretch on the mother as it's going horizontal and I'm not concerned about that.

[Bluey]

Topped the two largest clones...one I topped after the second node on one side and all others I topped after the 3rd node and removed the second. I haven't removed any other growth or attempted to break the apial dominance I think it's called. The top node stem is too short on all of them bar one maybe but I'll pinch/fold them shortly.

Getting good runoff in both rooms but sick of sucking them dry...the vac is too noisy.

[Bluey]

Been messing around with my enviro sensors and my room is about 1⁰C cooler than I thought which is great.

Installed a 20 pint/day dehumidifier. Cant control the thing with automation and it has no settings either but should reduce himidity in the room about 5% I hope which would be about ideal. Ill install the big one, 100 pints per day and can fully automate it, later when the small one can no longer keep up.

EC 1.7 14ml Si all bloom pH 6.23 4¾gal

Temps 24⁰C day 22⁰C night RH 58% and should come down a bit more
Edit RH is averaging 56% at ave temp of 24.5
