DAY 10:

Temperatures: ... Ambient Room 25 ℃ [+/- 2 ℃]
Humidity RH%: ... 45 [+/- 5%]
Lighting: ... 2 x 600w HPS
Schedule: ... 24/0

Feeding: ... NIL


No feeding this morning.
Pots aren't light, and there still appears to be some sub-surface moisture.
Going to toughen the girls up.
I want them to fight, get hard, wear leather jackets and bring mayhem and destruction to the Campus ...

No silver spoon for my girls.
Fuck silver spoons.
Silver spoons are to be used for sodomising paedo politicians.
Silver spoons.
Not on THIS campus ... we collectively spit on silver spoons.

pH in your soil? All the specs seem to be ok, but I've learned that pH swings (usually drifting to too acidic...) can be pretty common.

I agree ... pH is a critical element!!

Nah ... I'm ridiculously anal when it comes to the pH of the feed.
Even though the Advanced Nutrients are 'pH Perfect' ... I never feed the girls without checking, and double checking.
The biggest pH swing they would get is one feed being 6.4, and the next one 2 or 3 days later is 6.3.



I'm just wondering if it might be something simple, stupid and obvious ... like ... maybe I clumsily spilt some water on the leaves when feeding them. But then again, yesterday wasn't a feeding day, and it seems to appear mid-leaf; i.e. not on the tips, and not across the whole leaf.

The new growth is NOT showing this ... ummm ... whatever it is.

... and it appeared overnight.
Didn't appear to be any sign of it yesterday.

Doesnt look like any sort of nute def that ive seen before anyway.
Kinda looks like the burn after a nute splash but you said it cant be that, hmmm? Above my paygrade. Just keep a close eye and if it spreads maybe post in the live help thread

I've looked back at the pics from yesterday ... there might have been the start to it then, which would then make a nute/water splash a definite possibility.

I'm comforted by it only being this plant [out of 16] and only on those leaves and not the new growth.

DAY 11:

Temperatures: ... Ambient Room 25 ℃ [+/- 2 ℃]
Humidity RH%: ... 40 [+/- 5%]
Lighting: ... 2 x 600w HPS
Schedule: ... 24/0

Nutrients:

Sensi Bloom A + B @ 2.0 ml/l
Revive @ 2.0 ml/l
CalMag+ @ 1.0 ml/l
Voodoo Juice @ 1.0 ml/l
B52 @ 1.0 ml/l​

pH of Feed: ... 6.3
EC of Feed: ... 2.2
Feeding: ... ~ 1.0L

The Campus Cafeteria was open on Campus today.
The students received a supercharged, nutrient packed meal, watered to the point of moderate run-off, which should last them for a good 2 or 3 days.

The rationale behind the amount of feeding is that the run-off, whilst primarily ensuring the medium is nutrient rich, also provides additional water in the tent to assist in maintaining humidity, which has a tendency to be too low, when measured directly under the HPS.

Included on the menu was my 'go to' First Aid kit of Advanced Nutrients' Revive.
CalMag was also added - more as a precautionary measure.

Hey man as for the Bowl trimmers if your Buds are Nice and Dense the trimmer does a great job when they are fresh. small buds or airy buds just get destroted and chopped to pieces which is fine with me due to I make hash with most the weed I grow anyways. As for destroying the Trichs if you spin it like a maniac or put a drill on it yea its going knock a lot off if you do a nice pace maybe 10 complete spins your buds look good some may need a touch up here and there but nothing major.

Superb info @Weedman30 - thank you!
Will definitely explore my options now.
Is there any particular bowl trimmer you would recommend over its competition?

DAY 12:

Temperatures: ... Ambient Room 25℃ [+/- 3℃]
Humidity RH%: ... 50 [+/- 5%]
Lighting: ... 2 x 600w HPS
Schedule: ... 24/0


Feeding: ... NIL

A non-feeding day today.
Seems the girls enjoyed their supercharged food yesterday.
There is definitely signs of new greenage, with no adverse reaction evident ... yet.

As hoped, the run-off has contributed to a more satisfactory RH% on Campus.
Minimum humidity over the last 24 hour period was 45%, which I am much happier with at this stage of their development.

Temperature on Campus is pleasingly steady, with Min. of 22.8℃ overnight and Max. of 27.6℃ during the day.
I don't think I could ask for better.

Looks like Sweet Trainwreck Auto #4 is going to be a MONSTER. [See. Dorm 1, centre]
She is surrounded by Cream Mandarine XL Auto behemoths, but seems a determined lass, and refuses to be outdone.
Things could get very messy, very fast.

A couple are taking their time and seem a little sleepy, but they're the infant girls who had a tough start, and at one stage, didn't think a couple of the prem babies would survive beyond a few days. I'm happy they're still with us and confident they'll play catch up in due course.

Overall, relatively satisfied with developments.

DAY 13:

Temperatures: ... Ambient Room 25 ℃ [+/- 3 ℃]
Humidity RH%: ... 50 [+/- 5%]
Lighting: ... 2 x 600w HPS
Schedule: ... 24/0

Feeding: ... NIL

Non-feeding day on Campus today.
They'll get a feast tomorrow.

Growth seems steady, with no observable issues.
Actually - thats not entirely true.
The primary issue I can see developing, is space.
Some of these girls are already indicating they would like a little more elbow room.
That shouldn't be an issue - Campus has relatively generous proportions [Green-Qube 200x300x220], but it's the drip trays for the overflow I'm short on ... AND ... then there's the issue of if I give them more individual space, then the lighting footprint comes in to play, and at this stage, I don't really want to be adding more than the current 2 x 600W HPS.

[sigh]

It's a nice problem to have ... but ... not one I was anticipating on Day 13.
Of course I was hoping for space problems at the end of the grow - I wanted it to be a jungle that required a machete to penetrate, every watering time.

But I never thought I'd be mulling over individual room for the girls within the first 2 weeks, and prior to transplanting them into their bigger pots.

Anyway - no major drama - just a little thing to mull over.

The Cream Mandarine XL Auto group looks like they're going to develop into real space eaters, in particular Cream Mandarine XL Auto #3 - she is really starting to e-x-p-a-n-d. Not so much up, but definitely out.

Surprisingly, it seems that it's Sweet Trainwreck Auto #4 that's leading the Miss Chunky competition.
She is my favourite so far - I am really digging the symmetry of her shape, and just the sheer volume of her growth ... she's one luscious little minx.

Green Poison Auto #2 and #3 are also starting to separate from the pack - look like they've got a bit of size in them.

But the 'silent assassin' on Campus is the Cream Mandarine Auto group.
Those 3 are just doing their thing, and quietly putting on weight and height, in a nice uniform way.
I appreciated their genetics in Grow #1, and it looks like they're going to be good producers in this one too.

I'm really enjoying just watching these Sweet Seeds strains express themselves, showing off their individual traits.
It almost becomes an obsession, or addiction.

Right - enough ranting - on with the show ...
