Day 41 - (050122) - Notes & Good News

I switched the lights to 12 / 12 last night

Today is officially Day 1 of Flower Mode

Got great news from Farmer Freeman regarding the sex test (see graphic)

Day 41 - (050122)


* I was supposed to post that today is officially Day 1 of Flower.

* But, I had my timer’s time right, but had AM/PM mixed up.

* So, 24 hours of light and at 6 AM I start 12 hours darkness.

* Good News - Irie 3 Came back as a Female

* I still need to send out red bucket once materials arrive

* Red Bucket needs my homemade Ca / Mg everyday (the other 2 seem fine every other day)

* See Pairs Photo for Irie 5

Day 42 - Notes

- I forgot to switch over to 12/12 last night

- Tonight at 9 PM (2100) - Starts the 12 Hour Light Cycle

- 05/03 - is Day 1 of Flower Mode

- Tonight I will start moving towards 40 DLI

- I'm setting the 12/12 switch to 0900 (off) & 2100 (on).

- That allows my morning time in the tent & last minute time before bed

- Everyone Got Homemade Ca/Mg

- Red Bucket was looking sluggish, leaves were slightly limp

Day 43 - Corrections

Day 43 - Stats

As you can see, the blank spots are ready for Flower Stats.

Day 43 -- Getting Ready for Flower

VPD and DLI are what I grow by. Here are my new goals for Flower (when leaf temp and tent temp are the same)

Day 44 - Stats & Notes

- Reservoir dropped an 1.5 inches over 24 hours with 2 plants drinking (12.5" to 11")

- pH upward creep is disturbing (6.4 to 6.65 overnite)

- pH Down to 6.3

- I’m ok with the drift, as the changes open some doors a little wider for element uptake

- Gave each plant 50 ml of my homemade Ca/Mg (1/2 of what I have been doing)

- Germinating one (1) Purple Haze Auto & one (1) Jack Herer

- I think I saw that the Purple Haze was breaking through.

- Doing my best not to over water

- Switched lights to DLI 36-ish (PPFD 830) before the lights went out this AM

Day 45 - Stats & Notes

** Noticed what looks like calcium-related rust spots

** Some yellowing on a leaf or two

First Thought: Go Back to 100 ml of Ca/Mg (homemade version)

Each Plant received:

** 100 ml Ca/Mg Mixture

** 50 ml Mr. Fulvic / Kelp Mixture

** Foliar of micronutrient solution

Made a very hot gallon of nutrients:

** 4.0 EC

** 3.78 pH

I mixed this into the reservoir, which was:

** 1.8 E.C

** 6.53 pH

Final Result:

** 2.2 EC

** 6.36 pH


a) I’ll get the tank down to 6.0 tomorrow.

b) I raised the depth to 13”

-- Next Haircut the End of Week 3

Gave 100 ml Ca/Mg.

Gave 200 ml of nutrients to help with haircut stress.

Since I've had to pull 3 males out of the tent ... I am going to run Purple Haze and California Snow AutoFlowers on the 12/12 cycle, just to fill the tent.

I tried to germ a Jack Herer, but it never popped, so Cali Snow gets it's slot.

Even More Day 51 News:

I took these last night after the first Flower Pruning. I did more training this AM. I'll post them later. They are eating and drinking like teenagers. Ca deficiencies seem to be under control.

Humidifier turned itself off - causing VPD to skyrocket.

Reservoir Stats in graphic are from this AM. Current Stats are above in "Once Added to Reservoir."

First - I want to apologize for letting this grow log die on the vine.

I guess I was going through Grow Log Fatigue. I was posting in too many forums and the Irie Testers weren't even Autoflowers.

Nonetheless, I am back. Also, I've invested in better camera equipment. So, for my next Grow Log I am committed to completing here and giving it 100%. Although, if you see my other recent posts, there are going to be some flies in the ointment.

I did the same thing with Grow Diaries, but I did get my photography up to date and catch up with photos through harvest there. I stopped writing every small detail, but the pics were current until the end.

I now know the name of the future strain ... but I will not post it until he goes public with it. He may never do so if his Tester Feedback doesn't reach his standards. It's hanging to dry, so I can't comment on the "smoke," just yet.
