Cannabis Grow 20230113 222347~2
Cannabis Grow 20230113 222327~2

 

Starting off in the C-room but aim to shut this room down as we transplant shortly and move to larger rooms.

Cannabis Grow 20230113 222305
Cannabis Grow 20230113 222254

 

8 days of fertigation and the BananaBlaze girls on the left (when viewed from front) are currently sitting at 1400EC.

The healthy MimosaCake plant being far more sensitive to the EC climb currently sits at 1100EC, and the retard at 700.

-Hoping we can reach target EC without detriment this run #FuckYouCalMag

 

We were supposed to grow the MimosaCake alongside @Rusty but we were unable to be ready when the ship left port ☹️

The upside is that we now have his journal to use on a week-to-week basis as target 😊 

Lets see if our timelines matches his, Autos are wild animals and they tend be unpredictable..

Lets see 🥂

From first fertigation we now count:

Week 3

  • 2 full weeks since first fertigation
  • Day 15

 

The A-room:

  • MimosaCake
  • BananaBlaze

This room will house all 4 plants for as long as possible.

We are up to full speed on our Veg regime: 1500EC.

Struggles regarding nutrient requirements, the Cakes handle far less than the Bananas.

The far left plant is Ntoxed and the far right plant has a proper Deff  🥀 🥀 

Cannabis Grow 20230120 214533

 

Still, we have achieved enough size to top the two Banana plants at day 14, which i believe is a record 👍 

Currently pushing Umols past 500, any detriment will worsen as we scale upwards on parameters.

 

Will the topped plants handle the HST we performed?

Will the Toxed plant be able to adapt and survive its coming topping?

Is the runt making a comeback?

Make or break, the coming week will likely show all.

Cannabis Grow 20230120 214641

 

 

 

Lets see where we are next week!

From first fertigation we now count:

Week 4

  • 3 full weeks since first fertigation
  • Day 22

 

 

The A-room:

  • MimosaCake
  • BananaBlaze

Our best performing plant has good size for its age, the others are behind 👍 👎 

A few sets of leaves on each plant fully necrosed during this week as we keep scaling umols 🥀 

Cannabis Grow 20230127 151053

 

If we have found the right balance between transpiration, lightintensity and nutrients, we should see good development this coming week 🌹 🌹

From first fertigation we now count:

Week 5

  • 4 full weeks since first fertigation
  • Day 29

 

 

The A-room:

  • MimosaCake
  • BananaBlaze

The first month of this grow is complete, lets see where we are:

Cannabis Grow 20230203 171821

 

The two ends are dominating on size, if the middle plants showed the same development we would be happy. 

Still necrosing across the board, but hopefully it will have an end 🌹 🥀 

Cannabis Grow 20230203 171846

 

The toxing continues on the BananaBlaze, and the deff continues on the Mimosas. Temps currently lowered below the 80 mark, we expect this will slow overall cell movement and hopefully help the plants to recover. 

One of the middle plants (a BananaBlaze) has just showed its first pistil, so we will be on Flower-count by next update.

From first fertigation we now count:

Week 6

  • 5 full weeks since first fertigation
  • Day 36

 

 

The A-room:

  • MimosaCake
  • BananaBlaze

Flower count postponed another week 

There are pistils on 3 plants by now (not the Mimosa far right), but the stretch has yet to start on any of them 🌻 

Cannabis Grow 20230210 230840

 

The two center plants seems slightly stunned in growth, but overall we are not doing terrible on timeline, sizewise

Cannabis Grow 20230210 231941

 

The two Mimosa's (deff)

Cannabis Grow 20230210 231144
Cannabis Grow 20230210 231138

 

The two Banana's (tox)

Cannabis Grow 20230210 231149
Cannabis Grow 20230210 231142

 

We think we have a fair understanding of the situation, and we suspect it's furthered by our "new way" of managing the growspace to use less overall power

Cannabis Grow 20230210 232053

Purple line - CH5

Running exhaust on sensors instead of static cause a certain flux on parameters we have never had before, our 1-2 flux on F and RH is all of a sudden far higher. Not terrible, but not excellent 👍 👎 

We expect good growth on the two larger plants, but how will the other progress 🧐 🧐 

 

 

Lets see where we are next week!

From first fertigation we now count:

Week 7 - F1

  • 6 full weeks since first fertigation
  • Day 43

 

The A-room:

  • MimosaCake
  • BananaBlaze

Flower count is started!

We have tossed out the worst performing plant and that leaves us with 1x Banana on the left and 2x Mimosa. Its been a week of sloppiness and mismanagement, in other words a great time 🥂 👍 

We missed on a rez and screwed the NER, somewhat. Its hard labor to manually empty a 25gal rez, so nothing was done 🥀 😆 

We also snapped 3 mains, which i believe is a week-by-week record, though we managed to tape one back on again 👍 

Cannabis Grow 20230218 170614

 

We are not sure how the BananaBlaze will handle loosing a main as it Flowers, though we will find out soon enough.

The middle plant appear to have a small size potential though it is possible that she will jump, somewhat.

The right side Mimosa is the only one showing good potential, and she will likely have to make up for the two others if this room is to yield close its target weight.

Cannabis Grow 20230218 170833
Cannabis Grow 20230218 170914
Cannabis Grow 20230218 170954

 

We have sorta sabotaged ourselves to a degree this run, which adds to the mystery of outcome.

Normally we expect good size development first week of Flower, that might not be achievable this run

 

 

 

Lets see where we are next week!

From first fertigation we now count:

Week 8 - F2

  • 7 full weeks since first fertigation
  • Day 50

 

The A-room:

  • MimosaCake
  • BananaBlaze

Development seems largely halted on the Banana plant, likely due to the loss of a main previous week 👎 

The center plant is making movement and the largest plant is now starting stretch 👍 

Not terrible, not great

Lets see:

Cannabis Grow 20230224 170219

 

The rez from last week mainly affected the largest plant. The high K values stripped away some leaves, though we still have a couple to go around 🌻 🌻 

Cannabis Grow 20230224 170518

 

The stunted Banana has some funky stuff going on, we will keep an extra eye on this bastard

Cannabis Grow 20230219 203842~2

 

All in all, another week.

We have made adjustments and hope to pull some extra length on the middle plant this coming week, perhaps even the Banana will make an effort 🥂 

We fear the sizepotential on the largest Mimosa plant and the logistic nightmare it might create, though she is guaranteed the main contributor on weight..

 

 

 

 

Lets see where we are next week!

From first fertigation we now count:

Week 9 - F3

  • 8 full weeks since first fertigation
  • Day 57

 

The A-room:

  • MimosaCake
  • BananaBlaze

Banana plant still halted, middle plant still moving and we still fear the sizepotential of the largest plant.

In other words steady at current

Cannabis Grow 20230304 150322

 

The Banana has good stacking and is most developed.

Cannabis Grow Polish 20230302 152645888

 

Hoping stretch will be done by next update.

From first fertigation we now count:

Week 10 - F4

  • 9 full weeks since first fertigation
  • Day 64

 

The A-room:

  • MimosaCake
  • BananaBlaze

The largest Mimosa is still stretching, hoping we are in the last days of it because logistics are suffering:

Cannabis Grow 20230311 221130

 

The middle Banana is far along into Flower already:

Cannabis Grow 20230310 180908~2

 

We will have to take some sorta measure on the uneven canopy. Should be in place by the next update 👍

Week 11 - F5

  • 10 full weeks since first fertigation
  • Day 71

 

The A-room:

  • MimosaCake

The B-room:

  • BananaBlaze

Seems stretch is done. Guess it was too little too late, sorta 👎 

Cannabis Grow 20230319 011822~2

 

The Mimosas have taken over this room and the stunted mini-banana's has been disconnected from autowater and tossed in another room.

Cannabis Grow 20230318 154937

 

It's been a hassle. Now we drink 🥂

From first fertigation we now count:

Week 12 - F6

  • 11 full weeks since first fertigation
  • Day 78

 

The A-room:

  • MimosaCake

 

Ship is steady in this room. The largest plant suffers from low PH and runoff EC has seen unacceptable levels. Both issues have been addressed

Cannabis Grow 20230325 234815

 

The B-room:

  • BananaBlaze

 

They get 3x and that seems to work. These small plants need far less and cause no troubles.

Cannabis Grow 20230325 234911

 

 

A timeline of 2more weeks looks realistic on this room
