Newbie First Grow - RDWC - FastBuds -Rhino Ryder - Part Deux

Well i had to start a second blog because i can't have more that 25 images in one blog and not sure how to add more to the same blog.

First Part here: https://www.autoflower.net/forums/ubs/newbie-first-grow-rdwc-fastbuds-rhino-ryder.179/

End of week 8 May 12. On May 9th they seemed to have slowed/stopped their stretch so i changed nutes to 50% GH recommended Mid-bloom strength.
Temps 80-82 RH 60-62. The smallest of them #3 was the first into flower and the Largest one #2 was last to flower.

May 22 middle of week 10. Temp 80-83 RH 51-55. Nutrient strength 60% GH recommended

I learned that the VPD chart that i was referencing was incorrect for flower phase. No damage done to the plants.

Did some under canopy clean up, removing dried leaves and itty bitty growth, trying to help out my De-humdifiers. Also set my exhaust fan to turn on at 84 for better humidity stabilization.

My PH was dropping for the last 2-3 days, so today when I did my nute change i ran roughly 6 -7 gallons of PH 6.0 water through my hydroton around the stalks. Seems back to normal cause my PH is on the rise like normal after a fresh nute change.

I think/guess a couple more weeks maybe til harvest.

Had to do a little zip tie light hanger to raise the lights higher 20200520_194935.jpg the colas seem to still be stretching a bit 20200520_194949.jpg

May 31 Middle of week 11. Temp 79 RH 51-55. Nute strength 50% GH recommended Mid bloom.

So plants started stressing too much at 83 so i was able to bring temps down to 79 keeping the RH 51-55.

I changed back to 50% nute strength because the plants in bank 2 (#2 & #3) were showing tip burn.
Plant #1 has some leaf burn so i gave her a small dose of cal/mag. Could have been the heat stress also not sure.

I reposition the lights a couple of times a day to help with uniform DLI

Also added netting to help corral the buds, it can be seen in the wide shot

June 7 Middle of week 12. Temps 79-80 RH 51-55 Switched to 50% GH recommended Late flower strength. EC 1.0

Buds are starting to fatten up on Plants 2 20200602_185515.jpg and 3 20200602_185507.jpg

Plant 1 isn't fattening yet but she has lots of hair thingies, shot from the backside, she's on the right 20200605_202431.jpg

I'm figuring a couple more weeks for #2 and #3. Plant #1 probably 3 more weeks.

Stalks seem big. Thinks it's the rain halos i used up until flower. #1 20200528_150323.jpg #2 20200528_150419.jpg #3 20200528_150419.jpg Those are 6" net pots

June 16 End of week 13. Temps 78-79 RH 50-54% Feeding 50% GH recommended Ripen strength with 25% B-52

EC has been rising on plants 2 & 3 and PH is dropping. They seem to be slowing down on the feeding. Still drinking lots though.
Buds are Frosting: Plant 2 20200616_190314.jpg Plant 3 20200616_190304.jpg

EC just started Rising and PH dropping on Plant 1. Here is her bud shot 20200616_190434.jpg

Figuring around 2 more weeks for plants 2 & 3 and at least 3 weeks for plant #3 until harvest.

June 28 ending week 15. Temps 78-79 RH 50-54%. Feeding plants #1 with 50% GH Ripen strength. Running a flush on plants #2 and #3 since June 21.

Flush is Half recommended strength Flawless Finish, B-52 and Planet Earth Tea.

Plant #3 is beginning to Amber i am thinking i may just harvest tops on July 1, and let the popcorn mature a bit more.

#3 20200628_192939.jpg not very good trike shots 20200628_192954.jpg 20200628_193007.jpg


Plant #2 is frosty with hints of amber. I may Harvest her tops July 3 at all cloudy.

#2 20200628_191635.jpg Kinda better trike shots 20200628_193024.jpg 20200628_193030.jpg

Plant #1 has at least 2 weeks left to fatten and ripen. Will switch from ripen to flush on June 30.

Wide Shot 20200628_191652.jpg

July 6th Start of week 17. Temps 79-80 Rh 49-52

Plant #1 is being flushed and fattening up 20200705_202046.jpg Tentative harvest date for tops July 11 or 12

Plant #2 had her tops taken July 3 20200702_195733.jpg after 20200705_202111.jpg probably gonna take the popcorn on July 8

Plant #3 had her tops taken July 1 20200630_200439.jpg after 20200701_193922.jpg and her popcorn July 4 20200705_202256.jpg

I have smoked some of the smaller buds and she has some good potency and leaves a nice white ash. I used Flawless Finish by Advanced Nutrients.

Here is the harvest so far from Plant #3 and Tops of plant #2

Tops 20200705_213410 (2).jpg

Some smaller stuff 20200705_213418 (2).jpg

and some small keepers 20200705_213430.jpg

Once they dry i will try and get a weight on good buds for each plant.

Here was the trim that went to a candy maker 20200704_190116.jpg

Week 17-18

Plants #2 and #3 yielded 15.25 ounces of good dried bud, i didn't weigh the trim.

Plant #1 is getting close. Some of the cola's look to be still bulking up and her trikes are beginning to amber. She is weak in the stems so i had to intervene with support.

She's not gonna be winning any beauty contests lol 20200717_200554.jpg 20200717_200423.jpg 20200717_200415.jpg 20200715_185839.jpg
