Hey guys/gals, second grow diary properly on here. Haven't done the bud pics from the last one but will get round to it. You can check that thread in my sig.
LOWDOWN:
-6.5L plastic pots
2x LED (platinum P300 and mars hydro 300w full spec)
- averaged 3/4-1oz p/p last grow but unsatisfied with bud development on all but the blue dream plants (they were much taller than the rest)
- 5 autoflower strains (BBK, Haze CBD, BD, MD, LSD)
- Day 14 as of this grow diary.
DETAIL:
Next up, I'm growing 5 instead of 8 and LSTing to try and get more developed buds - mine were too wispy and airy (apart from both Blue Dreams, which were all boulders), because the canopy was literally thick and nothing apart from the apical buds got any main light or airflow.
I performed some basic LST on them for the first time today (day 14), and switched the additional Mars Hydro on so there was light coverage all over (see pics.) In a week's time I'll switch on the bloom on the Platinum LED.
Fed them plain water and very weak doses (0.25ml/l) of Plant Magic root stimulant. I'm giving them their first tiny dose of N today with the Old Timers grow (0.25ml/l) and some Catylist to help them with the LST and extra lighting.
I just went to take some pics and they're sleeping now so will update with some pics in 4 or 5 hours.
During lights on the temps fluctuate between 23-27c because of my bedroom temp, is that fluctuation going to damage my plants or internodal distance?
Would love to have people along for the ride! Will also put pics up of my last harvest in the next few days
