Diary PCBuds mini-grow

[piramidon]

Since I have't dropped here your lady got so busty and Dottie lost her dots.
I think she's eating more trichomes than bugs and gradually forgot where she left her dots. One by one.. lol

 

[Sampas92]

She's loaded with buds.
She's going to be a heavyweight.

She's shaping up to be the plant I was hoping for.

Lol

Lol.
My plant is really starting to fill in.

I've got a few 's in the closet. This one has no dots so I named her Dottie. Lol

I think she might be a mutant? Lol

Thanks Sampas.
I think I'm home free now?
We'll see how big the buds get.
It could become a one pound plant?


My next grow will be with ReikoX's new batch of seeds.
I may not grow another closet plant after this one, until next fall?
I've got way more weed than I can smoke right now, even without including this current plant.
I don't want to grow in the summer except for an outdoor plant.

I intend to start a plant in the closet around May 1st then put it outside May 24th after the last frost.

this is great, some monster you have on the way

Thanks.

I had some issues when I first turned on the side lights but I got that figured out.

I think that what will work best next time, is to have just the ceiling lights on at first until she has two sets of leaves, then start the nutes and turn on the side lights dimly and slowly increase them.

Then, when she's got about 5 sets of leaves, turn on the 5000k side lights and start increasing them slowly.

I don't want her to get so much light that she feels that she doesn't need to grow tall, so it will be a bit of trial and error to get her to grow tall and used to bright lights at the same time.

 

[PCBuds]

She's getting thicker...

She appears to have stopped getting taller, but her stalk is getting thicker...

The one leaf was touching the LED strip and got burned .

It's no big deal and it looks kinda cool.
She's got a tattoo. Lol

Leaves and buds touching the LEDs can burn out the LED segments but I coated the 5000k LED strips with silicone gel, so they should be fine and this is a good test.

The strip looks fine.

My little lucky plant looks OK.

 

[aliceklar]

She has girth.

 

[PCBuds]

She has girth.

Yeah,.. I've never had to support any of ReikoX 's plants.
They're really sturdy.

Cat hair and fuzz,.. lol

All the red is further evidence of P deficiency. It can be a few things, so you need secondary signs to help pinpoint why you see red issues. All I see is P although there is one unusual deficiency that can cause longer stripes up the stem, that extend up the midrib. So unusual.. I forget. Manganese perhaps. Though why you would have Mn issues, I can't imagine.

It looks promising, but you can do better I'm sure. You may need to lower the light one day, to see if they droop later, or not at all.

All of my closet plants have been purple since I installed the LED strips.
I just call it sunburn.

This is a plant that I grew before...

These are some branches that got cut.
They are still green where they were shadowed by other branches, otherwise they were completely purple.

I kinda like the purple.
I think it looks cool !! Lol

I'm almost positive that my plant would be purple free if I had turned down the lights, but I don't wanna do that. Lol

I have learned to keep the lights low until she is about a foot tall with 5 or 6 sets of leaves, then start turning them up gradually and let the tanning begin!!
Lol

It looks promising, but you can do better I'm sure.

If bright lights can cause a P deficiency, then I guess it couldn't hurt to increase my P.

It was you that suggested mixing my Maxibloom and Maxigro together right from the start because of the high N and low P in the Maxigro.

I could start doing that and switching to Maxibloom sooner, maybe at the first sign of preflowers?


Meanwhile, I just recently switched from 1/2 tsp of Maxigro (10-5-14) to 1/2 tsp of Maxibloom (5-15-14) and I'm adding 1/8th tsp of KoolBloom (0-10-10).

I'll keep an eye on the new growth and see what happens.




I really don't want to turn down my lights.
I wanna push the boundaries.
It's fun to see how much she can take. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

I've decided what I'm going to do.

I'm going to reduce my Sensi-Cal from 1/2 tsp to 1/4 tsp, and increase my KoolBloom from 1/8th tsp to 1/4 tsp.

The Sensi-Cal is 4-0-0, so halving it will reduce my N.

Doubling my KoolBloom 0-10-10 will increase my P and K.

My feed chart suggests 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) of KoolBloom for 4 liters of water, so 1/4 tsp with my 2.5 liters of water should be about right.

Reducing my Sensi-Cal should help reduce my PPM a bit so I don't get too rich.

There should be plenty of micro and macro nutes in my half dose of Sensi-Cal and my 1/2 tsp of Maxibloom.

 

[PCBuds]

My plant drank almost all of the 2 liters of solution that I gave her yesterday.

I took a sample of what was left...

This is my new solution that I mixed up...
I went with a lower PH this time.
I thought I'd mix it up a bit. Lol

Just a bit of personal grooming, man. She can take it.
