Oh yea… so I was just feeding rain water in the beginning and I was under the impression it was 6.5 but that was my first storage container. The second container was more like 7.5 and I didn’t notice until they started showing a potassium deficiency. I have it back down at 5.8 with some cal mag and they are bouncing back beautifully.

I wish I could say that I knew these types but the landrace stuff is all new to me.

So I left for some clinical sessions for school (fun stuff haha) and my wife was left to watch the plants. They did ok but some nutrient deficiency was festering a bit and so I repotted and mixed up my first batch of low dose flora trio, and cal mag. One note is that the root system was quite long and very well developed.

Here’s a forum cut GSC from my current flowering room. Pretty low in the weight department but the buds are quite dense and crystalline. Should be two weeks out. I had her out of the tent for a min so I figured I would take a shot sans purple light filter.

Popped two communion, and am already seeing sprouts on both. Early veg is aggressive with minimal nutes(currently 1/4 dose flora trio, calmag, humus and bacteria supplement).

Update for personal journal, everyone got topped today. The two communion are starting off well and everyone should be moved in to the big tent in a week or so. Planning on picking up a couple of UVA lights for supplemental.

 

[goingrey]

What's your goal with adding the UVA?

 

[Deleted member 534625]

Well, this may sound like silly logic but I realized that HPS lights naturally give off UVA, whereas the LEDs I have do not. I’m thinking it might be beneficial to try UV through the grow, and then UVB the last couple of weeks. I’ve noticed people have mixed feelings about it but there’s some videos by a dr buggsby which makes me think it’s worth tying.

All of the plants were topped last Sunday, and have been responding well. I tortured a few more by removing excess leaves on a select few, and they have responded will with excess vegetative growth.

I’ve been looking for signs of sex but still don’t have anything. However, my main grow room is now empty after harvest so I need to work on reconfiguring and getting everything ready for the move.

Have made a lot of decisions regarding the future of this grow. This far females and males have been picked, based on basic physical observations and will be moved to their separate locations.

The ladies are going all organic, as after finishing my first coco run it made me miss the old school ways. The buds just weren’t the same. I’m not blaming not the LEDs mind you, I’m sure there’s a learning curve but I’m just going back to what I know.

So this grow is shifting to a 4 by 4 raised bed under a 1,000 watt hps. I will continue vegging under LEDs for now. The bed should be set up within two weeks and everything is looking good otherwise.

I was curious about flowering these males in these tiny little pots? What do you guys think? Leave ‘‘em or pot up?

 

[Deleted member 534625]

You might have to wait for them to be a bit bigger before taking a sample for testing without harming the plants.

I'd pinch them out after the 2nd or 3rd set of true leaves appear and let them grow in a larger pot for a bit

Most males show sex at 18/6 after a few weeks of growth.

You can then pot up the females to their final pot size.

Nice selection size

You were totally right, it was worth just waiting for them to show on their own. Thanks for encouraging me to stick it out and not be lazy about it.

Wouldn't bother up-potting males, they'll make all the pollen you need in the smaller ones just fine.

Awesome thanks grey!

My 4x4 is filled and everybody is transplanted. I’m going to let these ladies acclimate for two weeks or so and then flip unless something changes.

My new light is an air cooled 1,000w HPS, the soil is a custom all organic blend if anyone’s interested in the recipe, lastly the room will be sealed with C02 at 1500ppm once I get my humidifier. Need to get some more cash first haha this soil was alittle pricey but I suspect I can get three runs at least

Why the empty space around the plant in the bottom right corner?

I’m going to bend them all over in that direction once they’re acclimated.

No mushroom compost this time of year so I just used regular organic compost

Thanks so much!

 

[EnjoyingLife]

Thanks so much!

Looks like an easy enough recipe. I'd have to cut it down as I only do four plants a year.
Have you noticed any differences using mushroom compost over regular?
Does mushroom compost make it easier to have a fungi dominant soil instead of bacteria?

Honestly mate, this is just something I cobbled together using a soil builder base mix tutorial and then deviated slightly for the differing options available. Overall this is my first 4by4 as I did coco in pots before. I will say that I’ve used mushroom compost plenty of times for my tomatoes which is why I gravitated towards looking for it. I thought that it would provide a fungi rich environment but since I couldn’t find any I just inoculated the soil heavily with Mycorrhiza powder which isn’t noted on the list to compensate for the lack of fungi present.
