Photoperiod First Photo Attempt: Green Crack and Bubba Kush

[Big Sul]

Day 11 - GC is Transplanted

The Green Crack has 3 nodes and I've transplanted into a one gallon pot. I'm thinking the Bubba Kush will follow suit tomorrow. I also forgot to mention that both seeds are by Canuk Seeds from the True North Seedbank. These folks seem to have a mishmash of positive and wonky reviews on other platforms lately so we'll see how this goes. Anyway, so far so good.

Stats: Lux currently at 25,000, which is around 375 PPFD. Fertigating twice daily at 550ppm (1.1EC), pH at 6.0. Temps at ~24 deg C; RH at ~64%.

when you transplanted, did you remove nursery pot of plant as is?

I did remove the nursery bag, yes. I used scissors to cut it off. I don't think they 'need' to be removed, but I did anyway.

Gratuitous flash pics....

So I appear to have some fungus gnats. I can see a few flying around the surface of the coco, and there was a good dozen or so dead ones I siphoned out of my saucer along with the runoff.

I’m pretty close to the finish line here so I’m not too concerned but I’d like to mitigate this as much as possible. I added some yellow sticky tape but I figure this is more for monitoring their presence than actually getting rid of them.

On my next grow, I’m considering adding some Hydrogen Peroxide to my nute bucket, anyone got any comments on this?

Week 6 of Flower - A Few Seeds, I think

Hey folks,

Today marks the end of Week 6 and I am approaching the finish line. I'm thinking around 2 weeks or so to go, maybe a few days less, maybe a few days more. I'm starting the final ripening stage of nutes tomorrow so I'm hoping these buds bulk up a fair bit over the next 7-10 days.

However, like my title says, I think I got a few seeds on my hands which is a huge bummer. I've noticed 3 "spots" of what looks like a little hard balls with no trichromes emerging from the very tippy top of 3 different buds. I got a picture of one down below, which I pulled out with a needle. I've never seen one before, but it looks like a developing/underdeveloped seed. It kind of broke apart when I pulled them out. I can only really describe them as hard, green "plant bits". Part of me wants to believe this is just a growing flower but I'm going to assume these are seeds, likely resulting from the hermied Green Crack? I haven't noticed any nanners so I'm assuming this plant hasn't self pollinated, but who knows.

I've been examining buds pretty diligently, and I haven't seen any seed-looking-things on the sides of any buds, or on any buds deeper down on the canopy. Literally just the very central tips of 3 of the upper-most buds, growing straight up and out.

Anyway, I'm sure it'll still be smokable. We'll see what Week 7 brings.....

Seed?

Any idea why my fan leaves are tacoing in Week 7 of Flower?

From what I gather, this is a heat issue or light issue. But my tent is actually running pretty cool: around 18C to 24C (64F to 75F) at canopy level, around 40% RH. As for light intensity at canopy, I'm getting around 600-900PPFD with an average closer to 700 PPFD. Should I bring my upper limit from 900PPFD down closer to 800PPFD?

Currently feeding ripening nutes, intake around 450ppm, pH ~5.9, run off around 475ppm.

It appears to be affecting the upper leaves as leaves further down in the canopy are more flat, hence me thinking it may be a light issue. Or could this just be natural end-of-life business?

My guess would be heat or light, but it could also be root issues. Do you have a way of measuring the leaf temps? Possibly that the tent temps are ok but the leaves are overheating maybe? Did you check the temp/rh combo on a vpd chart? Suppose it could potentially be a strain thing too, you may want to see if you can find grow journal of the strain (here or otherwise) to see if its a common occurrence.

Is there a fan blowing on that particular area? Once I had a plant get too dry and where the fan hit directly, the leaves curled up in that taco shape. That was dry medium, dry air and direct wind. You got a good yard Tron so you'll know if it was that
Plant overall looks real happy doesn't she lovely buds

Thanks Suki!

I'm a bit of stickler when it comes to VPD . Just checked leaves with IR gun, surfaces measuring 22-24C, ambient 24-25C, RH at canopy is 42%. Gives me a VPD of ~1.5 which seems pretty well spot-on. Root wise, I do have some fungas nats -- caught 3 on some yellow sticky tape. Anyway, I'm so close to the finish line here I think the gnats and the tacoing is more of a nuisance than anything.

I'll check some grow diaries tho!

Thanks nacho!

I do have a fan directly above canopy and another fan below, but nothing too direct on the leaves. I will say, this taco'ing seems to be all over the top layer of the canopy and isn't really localized, other than at the top. Anyways, thanks for the kind words. I'm sure she'll be smokable
