PK NL SS first diary

Hi Guys,

I am about a year into growing with a few good crops and a few terrible ones, this grow should be ok as it is starting to cool down here. Its a decked out shed that retains the heat a little too well.

With this grow I have a mix of plants, Purple Kush (PK), Northern Lights (NL) (topped), Super Skunk (SS)(topped) and possibly some Black Burmese (BB)(topped).
The PK's have been Veg'ing here, they are quite slow, the others have come from a friends and were too big so I topped them to keep the canopy relatively the same height.
I have had some issues running SS and PK before but the environments are better now, mid 20's to high 20's VS high 20's into the 30's.

These girls are under 6 x 600watt lights 9pm - 11am.
I have decided to run them an extra week for VEG as they are seeming to really develop tight Nod lengths and are really dense. I did this with another crop I have running ATM (wk 4 Flower just PK's).

The main Nute I think is resulting in this extra growth is CX Horticulture Growth Enhancer.
I have added it in my other rooms Veg cycle and 2 first weeks of flower with amazing never seen before results.

Attached are some photos of the set-up.
Both rooms have 2 platforms of 12 plants then I have a row of Rock-Wool Hugo Blocks to use the light between the two rows (8 plants).

I have started other Grow Diaries before but have never seen one through. I would really appreciate all growers questions and feedback to keep me motivated to keep posting ! It will help me greatly and hopefully I can help you too! thanks in advance.

I decided to measure the PK girls (On platform) and SS (in PVC pipe)to see what the extra week of Veg will do to their size.
Heres a couple of photos of them standing tall.
Photo 1 is of PK in hydroton Clay balls.
Photo 2 is SS in Hugo Rock wool cubes.

so I am pretty happy with the extra week of Veg, Lots more nod growth and not too much extra height added to the canopy, probably 20mm -40mm.

Will be flipping to flower 9am- 9pm tomorrow morning.

We have had some great growth in the first week of flower, all strains are going well with only one runting out.

Its a PK in the corner of the room and one of the last to get watered. I will post some photos of it next post.

Heres some photos of PK on platform which are 400mm tall now, SS stretching a little to 600mm, third photo is of the 2 x PK mums I have been cloning off for the last 6 months, well over 1m High, its time to set them free! (I have some seeds veging to replace them with an established SS in place already).
Last photo is of the SS in Rock-wool cubes now 400mm with great nods coming through.

Here are some photos of the PK that is runting out.
Its got some twisted and deformed growth. I am thinking to leave it in the system to see what it ends up like.

So we are coming to an the end of the second week of flower.
The girls are coming along nicely. There has been some extra growth in the height of the canopy about an extra 50-100mm across all strains.
There is no clawing or discolouration which I am super happy to see!
They appear to be thickening up now!

I pulled up the other room with just PK. I had perfect conditions in regards to climate, 16c outside which translated to 27c in the room.
This is the most frosty I have seen them, just a little budporn of hopefully where we will end up!

Hey seeding life nice grow


whats this growth enhancer you use for Veg? whats in it?

Also if you have a runt I find you might want to keep a close eye on it, sometimes they might be telling you something.


Cheers

Real nice buds there man, keep up the good work!

also probably the best taken pics you've uploaded...
The others are out of focus and very dark ( makes it hard to see) Try turning off your HPS lights and turn on a Flouro pointing away from the canopy enough to get better focus and back light

So what was your average humidity? Have you had a look at your Vapour pressure defiicit? Also how often are you exchanging air?

Cheers watts up
 
Hey Watts up,

The Growth Enhancer is 11% Nitrogen and 8.3% Calcium, it really stimulates vigorous growth in veg and in the first 2 weeks of flower.
I have backed it off in Flower now as Im pretty sure it has turned a couple of PK clones into Hermi's... 2 in this crop, 1 in the last.
Its the runt one (ended up being 2!) where wigging out with the nutrient overload,... I will run the enhancer in Veg but thinking not to have it going in flower for this reason.

To answer your other questions humidity is 50-60%, need to get it higher ....
 
UPDATE Week 7: about to flush and get the girls ready for harvest in a week.... looking nice and frosty, hopefully get some good results !
The PK has enjoyed the colder weather and is turning a nice deep purple, SS is really thickening up in all heads, NL isnt liking the competition for nutrients and is already yellowing out a little BUT is still packing on the weight!
Will post some more photos soon
