    So Im back after a year or so of taking a break from cultivation. Had a lot of stuff going on, had a lot of equipment get blown out on me after a power surge, but I gotta say ac infinity are real champs with their warranties. Basically will send you new stuff no questions asked.

    Grow space is a 3x3 ac tent, lit with their s44 board style light with a 6" filter and exhaust kit. Rain science 5 gallon bags, and FF Happy frog potting soil.

    Current conditions in the tent is 71°F and around 65% RH.

    If anyone has any good suggestions for cleaning the screens on the intakes I'd love some suggestions. I'm thinking a lint roller will do the job well.

    Anyone new to my grows, I had some kind of fungus or mold grow on my watermelon before made the buds smell like a sweaty foot. Hopefully this time around it turns out better.

    Thanks for stopping by, planning on updating once a week unless issues pop up.
     
    Mimosa and Watermelon break ground
  • Just a small update. 2 beans have broke ground since Saturday. The Watermelon Zkittles and the Mimosa x Orange Punch. The cotyledons don't look to happy. Hopefully they green up a bit over the next couple days. One on each is pretty yellow but my guess is the light was a little too intense. Raised it up about 8 inches keeping it at 20% power till I get the 3rd one up and some true leaves on all 3

    End of week 1 New
  • So today marks a week since all 3 seeds broke ground.

    Seems like all 3 are liking there environment and are chugging along at a decent pace. Fully watered each pot today with plain spring water, ph to 6.5, added a little yucca to alleviate any hydrophobia that may have started toward the bottom of the pots.

    Current temp and humidity: 73°F and 59% rh.

    Pics in order, Watermelon Zkittles, Mimosa x Orange Punch, then finally Peyote Critical.

    End of week 2 New
  • So its a day early but tomorrow will be the end of the 2nd week.

    So far everything is looking good. The Mimosa looks like its taking a little bit of wind damage but is growing ok otherwise.

    All 3 are 2 nodes in and on their way to the 3rd.

    Heres a light on pic of the whole tent, and individual lights off pics

  • So today marks the end of week 3

    Plants seem to be doing good, new sets of leaves dont have any of the off colored spots so I think its outgrowing whatever that was.

    Watered today, ph to 6.25, plain spring water. I think I need more yucca though. Pots still had a bit of water but barely took a gallon and started running out pretty heavily. Normally after 3-4 days of no water the pots will take almost 2 with pretty minimal runoff. Plants seem unbothered so its whatever

    A little droopy and curly today, like I said I let the pots dry out a little bit and the air has been really dry with the cold snap we just had so hopefully the watering will bounce these girls back. Defolaiating a bit and topping the girls tomorrow, will be at 6 nodes on all

  • Its the end of another week in the tent, and I gotta say I've noticed how much training and pruning slows the plants down. I'm keeping this run much more trimmed back, and doing a lot more lst than I would normally do. And usually I'm flowering within the next 10 days. I think with these girls I may push it off a whole month more, depending. They are starting to take off a bit again, but I was in there doing a bit more lst so they are probably gonna slow down again. Not a big deal as long as they stay healthy.

    The girls are looking pretty healthy over all. Trimmed off a few leaves today that we're sitting right on top eachother after I tied some more branches down. Looks like so far they are taking the food well. I'm not seeing any more tip burn, but the purpling stems are continuing to spred. Again not concerning just making a note to look back on.
