Grow Mediums RQS Creamatic 30L Coco Airpot

Yeah in future only gona put CFL in for 1-2 weeks, not 4.
Heres day 44, she's spreading across the pot nicely now.
Going to start bending her and introducing some LST soon :)

Wanted to have her chopped and cured before Xmas, so would have been about 8 more weeks of growth, 1 week to hang and 2 weeks to cure.
Now thinking as much as we'd like to to have her down before Xmas, we don't want to chop early for the sake of it. Will run her till her full potential, and do a proper flush so that the leaves lose their green. And make sure when we dry we don't dry to fast as I think we had our extraction on to high last time we hung it up, which I think contributed to the nuggets not being as dense and turning out quite frail.
I think we might run out of space in this tent as well so might have to upsize, something to look forward to!! :)

Play safe

Planning on taking her up to 100 days me thinks, see how things go :P
 
Day 49

Still on an approx feed of 2ml canna a/b, cannazym and rhizo in 800-1000ml.
Weekly dose of PM evo spray, dash of calmag now and then, also the occasional dry cycle.

She is growing in height, we initially had 3 links suspending the led and we Have taken out all 3 now. She is currently 45cm from led, so will have to take the light even higher next week. Also going to start LST this week, ordering some nice long fury pipe cleaners.

We have found a single small white spot on one of the lower leafs, hopefully it will stay that way, I remember in the last run lots of little white spots and no idea how or why.
The leafs showed some classic signs of overwintering the other day, really droopy and sad after the evo foliar spray, a dry cycle sorted that out tho.
She's filling out the pot nicely, just worried we might have to upgrade the tent before long!

Play safe,

Also worth a note that multiple sights of preflowering are now starting to form.

It's been 49 days, when should we start the introducing bloom nutes? Any input, I'm thinking in maybe another 2 weeks? As preflowers are just popping up?

Pic there from a couple days ago.

We have continued to raise the light even couple days and she is gaining in height every day, we raise the light about 5cm a time.

We have also stopped mixing feeds on the day, instead we are now trialing a weekly batch mix, with an air pump
We have also purchased a new dehumidifier and hanging moisture traps to hang.
We are seeing similar effects on leafs from previous grow and think it's more a humidity issue than over watering. Especially with the rh meter reading since it started raining and the heating has been put on!

So raised the light, new feeding system, upped the feed a little, turnt up extraction and decreasing humidity.

Oh also added 6ml of boost to the res our 7L weekly res.
Less than 1ml per litre as an introduction, will be pumping mg it up over the next couple weeks

Any advice always welcome
Play safe,

Still waiting on air pump to arrive, mixed nutes on Wednesday night, starting to go a bit crystalised but hopefully will be fine till pump arrives :) just stirring at the moment.
 
I wouldn't feed bloom nutes until she stops stretching in flower. Feeding early bloom nutes will cause an earlier finish.
 
Yeah but she is taking alot longer than expected anyway, and it's a bit late now unfortunately been feeding low level bloom for couple days now.
It's like 50 days now and she isn't even ready for bloom nutes, getting frustrated, think the tent is to small, pot is to big, led is too weak. She is so behind and small.
Just installed alot of duhumity measures so hopefully that will help. Think of she has till January latest, then changing the set up completely.
Starting some LST think it's time for some bend and stretch.

Day 58


Added a pump to our 7L res.
Mixing a new batch soon, what are opinions on bloom nutes? It's day 58 and there are multiple flower forming sites all over. You can't see in this pic but have started LST now so the lower shadowed foliage is getting better led exposure.
Also bent the main cola, going to change the direction of bends every couple days, they are not bent too tight.

We had burn as well, couple leafs got holes in and look at bit frazzled, think it was either introducing the 7ml bloom to the 7L res, didn't test the EC before feed. Possibly on one occasion where ph 5.1 feed was accidently given but this was corrected the next day.
Or the nutes were in the res for a couple days without a pump, just stirring and air pumped with a large syringe.
It hasn't spread so hopefully it was just a one off reaction and nothing sinister.

Play safe,
