Gmo grows Top Dawg I-Tre95
- Thread starter gmo
- Start date
I had some time this morning before I gotta get started on preparing the Thanksgiving meal, so I put the monster together. Hats off to Mars Hydro Led for the awesome packaging and very nice build quality. Putting it together was a 20 minute job, but very straight forward. I powered it on, and boy is it bright! I'll get it hung up in the tent shortly.
Thanks for the feedback picture. You are the first one to use 8000 light here.
Alright, time to get this journal really kicked off...
Aero tent veg day 18. New light was installed and is set to about 80% intensity. The plants are responding and a little bit droopy, but I'm betting that they bounce back pretty quickly. I am seeing what appears to be Calcium deficiency on the lower leafs moving up. Strange, because I'm really tight with my environmental controls. I lowered the pH a bit to see if I can get it under control. Open to hearing opinions of anyone sees something that I'm missing.
I did notice that my temperature dropped a few degrees with the new light and my reservoir temp is already easier to control. I attribute that to the larger heatsinks allowing the lights to run cooler. This is welcome because I was having to do ice bottles in the reservoir to keep things under control.
pH 5.65, temp 72f, RH 60%, reservoir temp 64f
Soil tent day 47. Plants are a little runtier than last couple grows. Not sure if I stunted them, or if it's just the phenotype lottery. They're also both going purple way earlier than they have in the past. Could be attributed to lower lights off temp now that the ambient room temperature is getting lower. They were fed today with wk 3 flowering nutrients at 900ppm.
Temp 72f, RH 45%, pH of feed water 6.52

Aero tent day 25. Plants seem to be responding well to the new light. They've at least doubled in size over the past week. I did notice some minor green algae forming on the plumbing inside the tote. I've cleaned it up and added black vinyl tape to the lid to keep light out of the reservoir. I've also started using hydroguard at every top off. I've slowed down whatever was causing the necrosis on the bottom leaves by lowering the pH to the 5.6-5.8 range. I'm thinking it was a manganese issue due to pH being in the 5.8-6.1 range during early growth.
pH 5.7, temp 72f, res temp 66f, RH 50%, light turned up to 100%.
Soil tent day 54. Looking promising. Very nice color and buds are starting to thicken up. I'm feeding every other watering and they seem to be liking that this time.
Temp 72f, RH 40%
Bonus pic of some Fam95 that's been curing in jars for 3 weeks now. It's FAMtastic. Stinky, potent, and beautiful.

Aero tent Day 30 veg. No sex yet on any of them. These will likely veg for 50 days before flipping to flower.
I upped the CaliMagic to 3mL/g and the growth issue seems to be resolved. They've grown quite a bit over the past 5 days since the last update.
temp 74f, RH 55%, reservoir temp 68f, pH 5.7

Aero tent day 33. They're really growing now. Still not showing sex. I'll be topping and taking cuts soon.
pH 5.95, temp 74f, RH 60%, res temp 66f
Soil tent day 62. I feel like I've got the Wedding Cake really dialed in this time around. I'm digging the structure and colors this time!

Keep up the nice work, bro.
It's been a while! I was traveling over Christmas and was gone for 9 days. I didn't have high hopes that the aero tent would make it that long, but low and behold, it did. It's a bit rough, but they will pull through. Current plan is to veg for 1 more week as a sort of recovery period, and then flip to flower on day 60.
Aero tent day 54. Confirmed 1 female and took a couple cuts today to see if I can get them to root. The others still aren't showing definitively. Will continue watching. Topped with 15g of nutrient solution.
pH 5.9, temp 69f, res temp 63f, RH 55%
Soil tent day 81. They're close. Gonna let them go a few days longer and see what happens.
Temp 70f, RH 30%

Day 85 soil tent. Chopped and hung to dry. Won't be a barnbuster yield by any means, but should be around 120g dry. Looks nice.
I'm retiring the Wedding Cake for a while. It's a beautiful plant, but I don't find myself reaching for the jars.
I think I'm going to try running some cuts from the aero tent (I-Tre95) that are currently rooting in the soil tent for this next go around. Maybe it'll turn in to a mother room in the future.

Aero tent day 59. Drained reservoir and refilled with week 1 flower nutrients at 950ppm. Flower light cycle starts tonight when the lights come back on. I think I'm gonna have some monsters in a couple of weeks.
2 confirmed females and 3 that haven't shown yet. I'll know soon!
4 cuttings that were taken last week have not thrown roots yet, but it's looking promising. When they do, I'll make the decision on whether to fire up the 3x3 tent running another aero tote with 4x TS1000s, or run 2 of them in soil in the 2x2.

Aero tent flowering day 6. Lights out picture. It was time to add solution to the reservoir so I figured I'd snap a quick shot. Still waiting on sex of 3 plants. I think 1 is showing female, but I'm not 100% positive. So far just 2 confirmed females, no males, and waiting on 3 to show. No roots just yet on the cuts taken 10 days ago, but I am seeing new growth starting to show as of this morning.
pH 5.92, RH 50% (installed dehumidifier today), temp 65f, res temp 62f
