WARNING: The following grow diary contains graphical images of plants in distress that may disturb sensitive growers.
With that out of the way, hello to you and welcome to my 5-plant cabinet grow featuring "Transformer" (Inferno Haze x Joseph OG) by Gage Green Genetics.
I switched to 12/12 yesterday (after 7-weeks veg from seed) and have 5 females under 400w MH/HPS in 2-gal smartpots fed by Blumats.
Using Canna Coco along with Canna Coco nutes A+B, Rhizotonic, Cannazym, CalMag and H&G Drip Clean.
Didn't think they would survive past week-5 of veg to be honest but I'm quite proud to say that they have managed to pull back from the brink of certain doom the past couple of weeks.
It all started out well enough 7-weeks ago when I dropped 10-reg seeds into small pots of coco (pre-charged with 1/4 strength nutes) and onto a heat pad.
I pre-sexed them to weed out the males when they were about 9 inches tall (working on their 6th/7th node) by switching the lighting to 12/12 until they threw out some teeny-tiny pre-flowers about 5-7 days later. They were pretty easy to spot on the Transformers too I reckon.
From here, I topped the 5-female plants at the 2nd node, leaving two mains (later topped for 4, then again for 8 mains).
It was at this point that winter hit hard and the girls did not fare too well in my uninsulated Garage-of-Doom. I started getting all sorts of nute lockout/deficiency problems from the cold temps.
I'm a bit slow sometimes, so it took me a while to realise the impact the cold temps were having so I was increasing/decreasing/changing nutes and basically causing some nasty damage to my poor plants.
This was the scene at my/their/our lowest point @ Week-5 of Veg:
Eventually I got more heat in the cabinet (warmer lights, cabinet fan off during lights out, heating pad, etc.) and the girls perked right up.
Things are still far from perfect but cabinet conditions are much more favourable now.
Put the screen in and switched to 12/12 two days ago.
Stretch is commencing so wish me luck.
See you on the other side!
Thanks for stopping by and good growing to you.
