New Grower Equatorial 2.0

[bakEQuatorial]

Day 54 for Lemon and Diesel. Day 52 for Purple. Day 45 for SH and Day 36 for Amnesia.

For larger girls, I have already lowered MC to 0.8g per litre and upped MMB to 0.28g per litre. SC is generous at 0.5g per litre. Looks good at least to me.

Lemon is also recovering after I gave a light feed. So all is good with current girls.

SH and Amnesia is smaller but would be easier to grow. Less training, defoliation etc.

Few days back, I switched off the 4000K board because, even when run at less than 50%, leaves claw up on smaller SH and Amnesia.

My feeling is these lights are really powerful and spreads very wide. When both boards are not spaced wide enough, the overlapping lights can be too much!

I turned them 4000K board back on today at only 60W. The board is 3ft x 1ft in size with 800 diodes. This is considered very soft lighting at 60W. Lets see if they can take it?

Battle girls have popped too!

Week 8, Day 56 for Lemon & Diesel. Day 54 for Purple. Day 45 for SH. Day 38 for Amnesia.

Not forgetting my two BATTLE ladies, who I'll name Cherry1 and Cherry2. Cherry1 is White Widow Auto from Seedsman and Cherry2 is Pineapple Express Auto from Fastbuds. They are at Day 2. Why Cherry? Cos I'm popping my Battle cherry and I hope they'll be the Cherry on top of my cake for this season/year.

I feel that I learned a lot about MMB this past few weeks but let me first report on feedings. They were all fed this morning.

Diesel & Purple received 0.7g per litre MC + 0.3g per litre MMB + 0.5g per litre SC. Pic below

Lemon received 0.7g/l MC + 0.2g/l MMB + 0.5g/l SC. Pic below

SH received 0.8g/l MC + 0.2g/l MMB + 0.4g/l SC. Pic below

Amnesia received 1.25g/l MC + 0.35g SC with No MMB

Some interesting observations:
1. I feel that moving on, larger healthier plants for my grows can begin MMB from 0.2g per litre onwards. Smaller/slightly stunted ones should begin at 0.15g per litre.

2. SH at Day 45 is putting out buds larger than Diesel who is already frosting nice. All in a few days after her first dose of MMB at 0.15g per litre. This was a gamble, as I started the much larger girls at the same amount. It paid off and tells me that the right amounts of MMB given during early flower can really push for bigger buds. The Vit B seems to really help cope with stress, which brings me to the below...

3. Amnesia after being stunted/broken by me, has been a test plant of sorts. She started to heat/light stress like SH did early on. Moving her to the corners did not help much and I did not wanna dim lights only for her. One night, i just moved her to a dark spot and checked on her next morning. It improved but I knew this would make her flower much earlier, perhaps even too early. She was barely week 5 then. I did the same the next two days and true enough, she is really flowering now. 24/0 all her life and sudden darkness will freak her into flower for sure, I guess. Still I gave no MMB. Will wait another week until I have time to up her MC feed all the way to 1.5g/l. I'm gonna see how she flowers with high doses of MC, since its supposed to be a complete one part nutrient? Also, since she is small, I don't mind her getting leafy. It'll also be interesting to see if she recovers from stress without MMB but higher doses of MC instead?

Missing a few posts. One of the more important one was the tribute to my wife, for getting me my pots in time for transplant! Dammit!

As for updates, i don't remember enough to repeat the missing ones. Will do a summary instead to update till today.

The larger girls (Diesel, Lemon & Purple) are getting the usual MC + SC + MMB. MC and SC is consistent at 0.5g/l each feed with MMB doses varying from 0.2-0.3g/l.

I'm already looping SH into the same schedule/feed as Lemon. Firstly, they both are similar in size due to me breaking 3 main branches on each of them. About 10 days apart in age. Secondly, they are both budding fiercely very similarly.

Amnesia will receive first MMB dose tomorrow. Diesel and Purple are usually fed together. Now, Lemon and Diesel are a pair too when feeding.

Noticed CalMag deficiency but was stubborn. Others were not affected much but Diesel was yellowing with rust spots. Fed 2ml/l of CalMag to larger girls and 1ml/l for smaller ones. I hope to see recovery soon.

Of special note is Purple still growing. Will get a pic of her trunk, which is really big, at least for me. Slowest in flower so far.

All 7 plants! I expect to harvest at least 2-3 plants in the next 2-3 weeks. This will make way for the battle seedlings, which will be just in time to flower. The remainder are smaller plants and will take less space.

I will also be starting a new plant, which is Auto Seed's Sweet CBD. Reported to have up to 16.8% CBD with only 0.8% THC. It has already been shipped so just have to wait.

Missing information, your wife sorting out your pots will now be the stuff of legend.

Update @Day 70 for Diesel and Lemon. Day 68 for Purple. Day 60 for SH and Day 51 for Amnesia. Battle girls, Cherry 1 and 2 are at Day 15.

Diesel, Lemon, Purple and SH are now in late flowering. I fed all four of them this morning. No more Megacrop and MMB. They will be getting Red Line (RL) and Sweet Candy from now till finish. Fed them all with 0.35g per litre SC and 0.35g/l of RL. Also added 1ml/l CalMag.

Amnesia received 0.5g/l MC + 0.4g/ SC + 0.15g/l MMB with light dose of 0.5ml/l CalMag just in case.

They all look good. Purple got some burnt tips and is starting to bulk up.

Looks like MMB handled the P needs fairly well!

Looks that way. Lets see what Red Line can do for the last 2 weeks or so.
