What your thought about the light? Ok to lower it a bit? Should I give them some dark time as well?

Click to expand...

I decided upon giving the ladies some dark time. Four hours every day the light goes out and the extraction fan is turned on high.
The light is still at about the same level and VPD is back at 1.14-1.18kPa as I feel this is a bit more gentile to the plants...Have to make sure though, to keep that humidity below 60% or risk mold...
Because of the higher temperature in the lung room the yeast based co² generator is pushing out double the amount that is normally available, resulting in 1000ppm


There's been some K-def visible on certain plants because I didn't want to overdo it. Just let the ladies do their thing, but these ladies are hungry...


...So I yesterday morning I brewed myself some PK Booster Compost tea, same recipe as before, but without the dilution. Tonight I took 5L with me to the tent, added another 20ml of Orgatrex to the bucket and let it bubble further until the ladies need another drink.


This was the plant that showed me that there was trouble in paradise. When I saw the shriveled leaf I knew there was something wrong. Those dried up spots will never recover, but then...we're not growing leaves now are we


Looking at the leaves now, I'm sure I've nipt the deficiency in the 'bud' Just have to keep feeding them and making sure I don't overwater in the meantime... Live and learn, right?


Out of 15 plants, there's three large pheno girls that have amazingly large trichomes. The effect is clearly like someone dusted them with icing sugar. If @Sawney_bean allows it, I would gladly throw a toss at going further with this pheno

This one is a prime example of that selected pheno! The frost is just amazing and we're still have some serious expansion to look out for, in the near future.


One of the smaller pheno ladies. She is one large cola with several satellites in the making, my friends!!
Keeping the TS-1000 at 50 instead of 60%, tempers the amount of energy reaching those ladies in the center of the tray. I do feel that I'm at the limit for this moment, until I order my inline filter and I can remove the table and so create some more space between the light and plants. Approx. 40cm / 16" will be gained by doing that.


This lady is not nearly finished...The bud will more then double in size as all the calyx's swell up in despair of being pollinated


This lady shows the K-def with all them dark spots on the lighter leaves. As I said before, I feel I have it under control, but know that these ladies are heavy feeders. So if you want fat buds, be sure to subscribe to feederfansite.proboards.com and buckle up


No comment


You just wait until those calyx's swell up


As promised I've kept selecting those time lapse pictures for the gif. We're a couple days in and expansion is definitely happening...


And to finish up this post...Another time lapse. Duration = approx. 4 days, speed = 60fps. Please enjoy

Hey Friends,

No special update or anything. Been feeding these ladies the remainder of the tea I made, these last few days...


Growth has stopped completely and one can notice these ladies are finishing up before winter comes


Opening the tent is always an amazing experience. The terpenes are sweet and vanilla like...Except when I brush against the stems, then a more lemony smell is released. The two don't match, but experience tells us that the lemony terps will go away with drying and curing.


Frost is building up nicely on these girls... Yum!!

Swell up my pretties!!! Mohahaha


This one in the back is the worst. She's also the largest of the group and is sitting very close to the light. None the less she's producing some very nice buds, even with the load of crispy leaves she already has.


And the girls in the middle of the tray, the 'Small' pheno plants, are recovering fine from the K-def. These are also expanding more rapidly then the larger pheno ladies, resembling a bud on a stick


While some of the larger pheno ladies will be ready in approx. one to two weeks, these smaller pheno's will most likely need a week more, looking at those pistils...What do you think @Sawney_bean?


The values inside the tent are also very stable and the last two days or so I didn't had to adjust the extraction, even after watering the ladies.
Ok, I don't water as much and rather water every day a little then do one large soaking every two days out of easy, like when they were in full growth. So today I gave them about 1L tea divided over these 15 pots...

Bob
