Show Grows 2023 Twenty20 Tier-2 Auto Debut Grow & Show

Germination
  • You sneaky thing, you! Strawberry Biscotti :naughtystep:


    Gonna call her birthday!
    I guess there was a thin inner membrane that had the first leaves held together. I came in and checked the pot and I saw a slight tint of green. Closer examination revealed the first real leaves were trying to come out. This was forcing the leaves apart and I could see the membrane. I pulled it off fairly easily. In about 20 minutes, she was opened up. I've already dropped the other seed, So I'm gonna potter up in a three gallon pot and set her in the 4x4. The tray will just fit. I'll probably have to make a stand for it or a couple.

  • Strawberry Biscotti #2 has broken the surface wif a little helmethead.



    I'm so happy the new Vidamints popped the surface and with no helmet head.

    With this Twenty20 tent
    For you organic guys..................... I'm gonna do something here a little different that some of you may or may have not seen before with worms in both the 15 RS bags and the 20gal Grassroots Living Earth pots . I intend for the 20 gallon pot to remain a no till setup so I won't be dissecting it after chop. The 15 gallon rain science bags will get the root structure Closely examined to see what kind of relationship the plant set up with the worms when doing this one very specific thing. :eyebrows: :biggrin::cools:

    I'll get pictures of Biscotti later on tonight

  • All plants are girls. Today is day 22ish. Topped one each of the Cali Bubba, straw funk, and chicklet. The strawberry biscotti plants are both smaller compared to the rest. One is trying to catchup to the others and one is stalled. May pull the one not wanting to cooperate. Really like how these are growing despite the insane temps. Suppose to cool off first of the week. So they should really take off just in time for flower.

  • Week 3 Report, Day 21 - Strawberry Biscotti Auto, Strawberries n Funk, CaliBubba Auto F2, Chic-lit F5 Auto

    CaliBubba
    showed sex on day 15 and Strawberries n Funk was around day 16. I'm not sure what day the other 2 showed sex but a few days ago (day 17-19) i noticed pistils on everyone, i was just waiting on my weekly report :thumbsup:

    I moved everyone from the tiny 2x4 tent to a bigger 4x4 tent and added the 1st net for support and to spread them out, i'm tired of support sticks not being as good as nets so net it is! I also hooked up all the autovalves and filled up the res with 4g per gallon of megacrop ph'd to 6.1, no leaks and all valves are feeding each pot perfectly.

    See y'all next week, hope chic-lit catches up or i may have to remove it from this tent and give it a 2.3x2.3 tent so it can get the perfect amount of light and not be towered over on.

  • I apologize for non response, I have been combating a mental funk similar to depression… maybe it is depression! No drive or ambition except for the necessary day to day. Don’t know what caused it and I’m not through it yet… just putting one foot in front of the other. No worries though, I am not a person who’ll hurt themselves or anything like that. Just retract for a while.

    On to an update
    Today would be day 28 for the only one to survive my lack of drive and doing well! It is the Caliwhip. She is in her 5 gal SIP and just fed her res this am with 1 gpg MC one part. Took awhile for the roots to get there but there now.
    IMG_3369.jpeg

    Looks a little droopy as the lights just came on. Temps in tent are steady at 75F lights on and 71F when they are off. Mother Nature has kept the humidity at about 62% thru the grow so far. 18/6 light schedule under the HLG 600rspec. Again, I apologize for my mental collapse and I’ll try to be more proactive with my updates going foreward. Let it be known that I’ll be starting the rest of the seeds I have for the tier two G&S this weekend and hopefully add them under the 600 as soon as I can!
     
    early flower
  • Here's the girls at 5 weeks old. All are flowering now, and running out of room. I'm going to add another shelf. Running (5) 100w LED boards. I just upped the MegaCrop 1-part to 5g/GL. From L to R, Strawberries & Funk, CaliBubba, ChicLit, Strawberry Biscotti:

    Here are closeups in the same order: [edit: my pH might have been a little low, I recalibrated last night.]

    Chiclit Day 40 for both, definitely showing the ph issue

    Still struggling with soil Ph a bit as you can see in leaves. I dealt with the same thing on my Meph’s wedding grow which was the first grow in my last raised bed of this style so it’s just working out the kinks.
