Training is going well. Broke the main stem on one slightly but it's healing. Anyone know if I can/should trim these larger fan leaves? These things are bushy. Is defoliation valid or just myth?

DIY drip irrigation system

General Hydroponics Micro, Bloom, CaliMagic, Rapid Start, Floricious+ using Lucas Formula Maxibloom KISS



So I learned some things from my last grow about humidity, VPD, temperature, training, nutrients, and watering. This grow I'll be using drip irrigation system on a timer to eventually water 6x a day from 10 gallon reservoir(drink cooler) with an aquarium bubbler and pump. I'll be starting the seed directly in the medium with clay pebbles on top to reduce evaporation. Temp(78-86 f) and RH(70-80%) choices are based on VPD chart that I can post later so the wide choice in RH based on heat in the tent.


Had some initial issues with my hygrometers dying, ph pen being inaccurate, and trying to warm my reservoir water(found an aquarium heater). For whatever reason, I was paranoid, after I had buffered the coco it refused to dry out which I stood before the seeds had arrived.. I was going to do the Lucas formula but I was low on micro and bloom and Maxibloom was cheaper. Last, I bought a WiFi camera because I like checking my plants frequently and I would do less damage with the camera.



Seeds were ordered from the Original Seed Store and came with Barney's Farm Critical Peyote and Fast Seeds Super Champagne Auto.


Round 1 - Northern Lights Auto in Coco DTW


I'll be doing Northern Lights in 2 gallon smart pots with coco. Aiming for watering 3xDay by the end of week two. Two drip lines per pot. Pre charged coco at 375ppm with initial ph of 7.1 and ph downed to 5.9. The goal is 10oz. Just germinated and kudos to Original Sensible Seed Store four the stealth packaging and 8 business day delivery time to the Midwest.

What did you pre charge your coco with exactly?

 

[Death The Cultivator]

1/8 strength CaliMagic and Maxibloom. 1/2 strength RapidStart and Floralicious+ with tap water(188 ppms) phed to.6.0. My initial ppms were like 350 or so.

On the MaxiBloom it was roughly 8 grams because the original formula is 7 grams per gallon so....

6.1 ph

The NL1 isn't growing as vigorously as the NL2 with no roots coming out the sides of the pot yet but taking well to the LST. NL2 is bushy and needs to curve at some point as the LST has the apical near the edge of the pot. I did remove some larger fan leaves and pinned some branches away from the main stem to let light and air in.

I just lifted the NL1 only for it to make me a liar. It has roots coming out the bottom lol. I filled the res back up and went full strength on the CaliMagic.

looking good man, definitely paying off with the LST so far

Day 19
70-75% RH
80-84f
1110 ppm x 6
6.1 Ph

Training is going well. I have been defoliating larger fan leaves from the main stem that were blocking light, not receiving light, or packed between branches that had adequate growth. NL1 hasn't been as defoliated as the other but it's leaves are far narrower and less bushy and it's growth has been a tad slower. NL2 is leafy with many branches and I've defoliated more fan leaves from its main stem but the goal is to have them circle the pots and get plenty of light.

I'm thinking once flowering starts I'm going to bump the feeds to 8x a day, every three hours. I received some free Bud Candy(?) from the hydro store that I'll use I guess. All the side branches are 2-4" long and I've pulled them all away from the main stem forming leafy walls.

Some more defoliating on fan leaves from the stem. After yesterday's lst they raised up. Getting a lot of roots poking through the pots. Judging by another growers experience with this strain I'm looking at flowering in the next week or so.

6.0 ph

It's three weeks in and flowering has yet to begin which is good. Both are growing vigorously and bushy. I've been removing 1-2 fan leaves a day this week and exposing the branches to plenty of air and light. NL2 is bushy and having more leaves get removed but judging from the sides of the pot has more root growth going on. I have increased the amount of feeds to 8x a day to get ready for the stretch. No deficiencies or issues I'm loving it.

I actually decided after some thought and looking at the plants from training them. I've removed every fan leaf from the main stem except the two that grow with the apex and the stem has thickened well. Removing the fan leaves on the main stem has opened a lot of light for the branches to get more light.

Day 22
70-75% RH
75-79f
1500 ppm x 8
6.2 ph

They are now being fed full strength MaxiBloom and CaliMagic. Just switched my reservoir to a 35 gallon tote and found the best light distance to be 16". No signs of issues but I think I'll stay at 6.2 ph until the end. The NL2 is going to need more defoliation with its broad fan leaves. I was expecting nute burn at some point but thankfully it didn't happen even at 1500 ppms.
