Flower W8 - Final weeks of this one, gave it one last defoliate 🍃

2 months ago

Flower W5 - Super cropped a couple of the taller ones & I managed to get the light up about half a foot. Really liking the look of things in here. Left-hand side isn’t looking too good, bit raspy but I think it just needs a little bit more time to mature. Few more weeks to go & it will all balance out hopefully 🌳

Flower W4 - Things are starting to shape up nicely on the left-hand side. Strand on the right looks like it might take a little bit longer to mature. On a positive note I should be able to pinch some of the taller stems & lay them down flat. To start minimising some of the heat & light stress 🌳

Flower W3 - Near enough impossible to keep this jungle at bay, did another deflation. Constantly tucking the branches underneath, have had quite a few casualties now in the process. Going to keep at it & see if I can get the canopy reasonably even, where possible. Main thing I’m concentrating on right now, is keeping them a foot away from the light 🪴

Flower W2 -End of week two, you would think I didn’t even defoliate five days earlier. Looking like a jungle in here, guess I’ll be doing another defoliation soon 🌳

Flower W2 - Super cropped some of the taller stems & added the final net. To keep everything as even as possible. I’ll let the right side grow out a bit, before defoliating. I can see some of the freed growth at the front on the left hand side making its way up to the top now it’s not covered by the thick canopy 🪴

Flower W2 - Huge defoliation & taming of the canopy. This was a much bigger job than I was anticipating. Hoping to be rewarded with greater light penetration, down deep into the bottom of the canopy. Better air flow & less fluctuation of the climate. Some of the leaves were massive, huge stems on them. hopefully this is a sign of some huge growth in the form of bud production to come. A lot of the growth on the smaller four plants were twisted & trapped inside the thick canopy. It was definitely a good idea to get in there as early as I did. Just to free up some space, for them to grow more freely. I’ll let the right hand side grow freely for now. But I will look to defoliate on week three of flower 🪴

Flower W2 - Things are looking very bushy in here. Definitely a big defoliation this week, for that back left corner. I will add one more net in as well. Do some super cropping to keep some of the tops down, below an ideal distance from the light. But in general I’m very happy with how the canopy is looking 🪴

Flower W1 - Some interesting data collected from the Troll Master controller. Also has a nice VPD chart, which I am trying to keep in the idle range of. I’ve been monitoring the CO2 and it’s generally holding around about 100PPM more than it was averaging before adding the CO2 generators. Hopefully this is translate into something noticeable down the line. Can access all this information remotely as well from anywhere which is quite handy.

Flower W1 - Added in a few things this week, to hopefully help with the growth. Firstly turned on the under & side lighting. Made some Co2 generators. Lastly adding a light sensor, to monitor the light output more precisely 🪴

Week 1 flower - Finally switched to flower, I’m in the process of adding in some Mother Nature Co2 generators. I have also added a TrolMaster controller & Co2 sensor, currently sitting around 500ppm. I’ll be trying to raise this to round about 800ppm 🪴

Was holding out for a little bit more growth on the left hand side. But I may just have to  come to terms with the fact. They are slower growing & going to be smaller in general. definitely switching some point this week, I’ll try & hold out to the weekend at least 🪴

After 🤩 everything under the stand net went. I’ll let it recover & grow in to the first net before switching to flower 🪴

Before the final veg defoliation, lollipop, netting, & adding in the side/under lighting 💡

Things have really moved on since the last update, I have topped & cut off any growth below the training net. Trying to just keep the growth that’s going to amount of something & build a solid manifold to create some huge tops 🪴

Vegetative growth has started to pick up now, one side more so than the other. But I will try & train them as even as possible 🌱

Seedlings all potted up, test fitted one of the training stands 🌱

4 months ago

Seedlings have some decent growth on top, & roots are starting to protrude out as well. Would like to go a little bit longer in the propagator, but the height is becoming a bit of an issue 🌱

4 months ago

Seedlings are really stretched out. Going to have to add some support 🌱

4 months ago

Seeds have sprouted, potted them into Jiffy pellets & within the same day they had sprouted. Added some lighting at 50%
