Photoperiod Cannaficionado's Next Barneys Farm Grow in my 3x3

[Cannaficionado]

Everything seems to be going well. Watered both plants. Did the lemon tree yesterday with about 1 gallon of 6.5 ph spring water, no run off and the pot was still pretty light so I did another half gallon today. The tangerines pot seems to be holding water a little better, pot was a little light so I gave it a gallon today and there was definitely run off. Maybe it was a little early because she started to droop pretty much immediately

This ones looking better and better as it ages, maybe just had a weird start.

Had to throw out a post today because the tangerine dream has started taking off. Side branching started on all 4 nodes already, and it had to have grown over 2 inches from yesterday to today. Biggest change Ive seen in a 24 hour span

Lemon tree is definitely growing slower now, hoping after the next couple days it takes of like this one did

Today is day 20, just shy of the end of week 3. Plants are doing great but have been slightly droopy for the past 5ish days. Thinking maybe its because of my lights or my fan, either way they are doing well.

More to catch up on than usual. Topped my plants yesterday at the 5th node on both. Lemon trees nodes are really tightly stacked, where as the tangerine dream has about an inch of space between nodes right now. Side branching on both is heavy even before the top but now 24 hours later and both have gotten bushy as hell.

Watered yesterday too, decided to go a tad bit overboard and gave them each 1.5 gallons. Was more than either needed as it ran off to about 20ish percent. Could also be why they are a bit more droopy today than the past few days.

All in all I am very happy with this run so far, but now that I have my In-House Gen seeds I really wanna get a couple of those germd, the tenptation is staggering, BUT I want to give those the most potential so it will wait for the next grow.

Thanks for stopping by!

Did a minor defoliation last night. Maybe a little early to pluck leaves but with the top I want the plant to focus on the side branching so I removed a set of fan leaves blocking direct light to them on both plants and did a little lst work on the tangerine.

Decided to do a little pic update out of bordem. Tangerine dream took the top really well but it appears the lemon tree may be a tad stunted from it.

Conditions.

Humidity dropped after leaving the door open, was at 55%

The 370ppfd is right above the tangerine. Its taller by a bit so its getting more. 350 is obviously the lemon tree.

Also shout out to multiverse for the new vinyl slaps that came with my last order. Love the bobby hill'esq one. Made me laugh when I pulled it out.

So just wanted to throw out another update. Not much has changed.

Lemon tree is pulling out of its minor stunt, and the tangerine dream is just going ham.

I noticed this set of large fan leaves on top, on one side have webbed fingers. Looks like its only this set but I wonder what other genetic abnormalities this plant will have. Splotchy coloring, now webbed fingers....

Its grown out of the splotchy discoloration but it appears to be growing in to other things lmao. As long as shes growing and green Im not gonna over think it. Just keep on chugging along.

Thinking with the next watering I will start off feeding at like 450-500ppm and bump it up slowly from there. Theres a lot of washed out feed from the runoff of previous waterings. Im sure its starting to dwindle down in the actual soil.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thought Id throw another post up today. Tangerine dream is really moving along, while the lemon tree is really falling behind. Both appear happy and healthy. Just the lemon tree doesnt wanna grow very fast at all. Im wondering if its suppose to be in a hotter more humid climate.

Thinking about doing a second top already on the tangerine and leaving the lemon tree alone for a while so it can catch up. Both are suppose to be similar sized plants, meant to grow in similar conditions. Its a little dry in there but its usually in the low 50% and the temp never gets above 73, so vpd should be right in thr ballpark....idk its frustrating me.

Just decided to tighten up some of the lst wire and start holding down other branches. Also did a bit of lst on the lemon tree.

Almost out of wire, gonna have to get more soon

 

[Cannaficionado]

So Im a month in and finally im noticing some actual improvements on the lemon tree. Watering later today and doing another top on both plants tomorrow after work. Wanted to throw the update up before everything gets droopy after watering

Tangerine dream and current tent conditions.

Turned the temp down for the whole house. During the winter I like it at 72, now that its warming up I dropped it to 69. Seems like whatever my thermostat is set to thats the temp in my tent.

Topped all the lower branches yesterday. The top 2 branches from the original top havent put enough nodes on to be beneficial yet, but I think this is where I am going to stop with this one. Now its just about lst and opening up these new tops to as much light as possible.

Took these pics before I did anything but I opened up this plant a bit after my nap today.

I think the colder temps are really slowing this plant down. Its growing and happy but just slow. So Im just gonna let this one do its thing and just manage what I have. As you can see, compared to my last post its lost a good deal of foliage. I chopped the 2 lowest branches entirely as they were now touching the dirt after they got wide enough. Chopped a bunch of big fan leaves to expose the branches to more light. To help it stretch a bit I really raised the light. Its aboyt 48 inches above now and I increased the intensity so that both plants are getting just under 350ppfd.
