Wastei's Twisted 'n Misted Girls

[Wastei]

Welcome back! Glad one of them survived and isn't looking half bad. That single plant is filling out the tent quite nicely actually lol

Thanks bud! Yeah I think it was for the better. She will keep on stretching for another 3-4 weeks.

She almost filled the tent by herself from competing with 8 other seeds in a 1 gallon pot last time so I'm not even worried.

Cheers!

Raised input pH to 7.2. Runoff pH is coming out a little bit too low to my liking with 5.7. I raised input from 6.8 to 7.2, she really started her first growth spurt. The healthy green color is slowly coming back.

0.75 EC in, 1.5 EC out. pH 6.8 in, pH 5.7 out.

- In range, pH a little low raising input to 7.2

The girls are getting their healthy colour back and feeding seem to be on point.

First and second runoff reading came out identical and were very stable except pH that's a little low to my likings. I thought about runoff and techniques to get the correct reading from the leachates. You should always collect the last part of the runoff and absolutely not in the beginning like it's easy to do being eager to get a reading.

Runoff reading:
0.75 EC in, 1.5 EC out. pH 6.8 in, pH 5.8 out.

Second runoff reading coming up soon!

Edit:
Second runoff reading:

0.7 EC in, 1.3 EC out. pH 7.1 in, pH 6.0 out.

- Stable and well within range. I raised RH 5% to 70%. It will cycle between 73-65%.

I had to zoom in on that net design. Oddly satisfying for my OCD. The zip ties... Meticulous.

Thanks bud! It's been tested now for the last 6 years. It's reasonable easy to de-assemble and put up. I use it to tuck down and tie down. It takes a while to thread new threads every run but it's worth all the less hassle with building support.

I choose to increase light intensity to max 650w to get temps up. I increased RH with 5% earlier today.

Hope she will respond well! It's started to smell really nice and gassy in the tent!

Cheers!

 

[Wastei]

Second runoff reading:

0.7 EC in, 1.0 EC out

- Raising input to 1.0 EC, runoff EC is declining and soon to be out of range.

Plant is reacting well to increased light intensity with increased nutrient and water uptake, that also in par with the stage were in.

The plant should really start producing flowers now. I will probably not do much more tucking and just let her decide how to fill out the space.

pH 7.1in, pH 6.2 out.

- Stable

Did some minor Lollipopping to open her up and give the upper shoots a better chance.

 

[Wastei]

Second runoff reading:

1.0 EC in, 1.2 EC out. pH 6.9 in, pH 6.8 out.

- Eating like a hog and pH is declining. lowering input pH to 6.3.

She's starting to frost up and buds are forming. She's still stretching and her bud structure is long so there's a lot of growth ahead.

Cheers!

Lookin good Bro ‍

First runoff reading:

1.0 EC in, 1.25 EC out. pH 6.0 in, pH 6.5 out.

- Flowers are bulking up and feeding is on point!

30 days from flip! Filled up the reservoir with 30ppm Silicate and plant food up to 1.0 EC pH 6.0. She's increased rate of growth, had no runoff in the middle of the day meaning she's drinking more. I increased the feeding volume on all cycles.

Third runoff reading:

1.0 EC in, 1.4 EC out, pH 6 0 in, pH 6.5 out.

- Very stable and within range. She was happy around here last run with less light, this is however a bigger plant with higher requirements.

Cheers!

 

[Wastei]

The middle is starting to fill out. That's the shoots that will need most support. It's day 31 and we hopefully have two months of healthy growth ahead of us. She's really starting to take off!

 

[Wastei]

I increased nutrient strength yesterday since both water and nutrient intake are increasing. She was the biggest hog last time and I know she was happy around 1.1-1.3 EC last time. I increased input to 1.35 EC from 1.25 EC yesterday.

First runoff reading:

1.25 EC in, 1.3 EC out. pH 6.0 in, pH 6.5 out.

- Stable but runoff EC is falling out of range and she wants more food. New growth looks really good and hopefully she's able to handle this strength going forward. I know she'll have another dip in a couple of weeks were growth rate will decrease and later resume in late flower. They have growth spurts like living individuals.

Cheers!

Very nice grow. I'm a sucker for a scrog. I won't grow without a screen. Gonna tag along here.

 

[Wastei]

Second runoff reading:

1.35 EC in, 1.2 EC out,

- Raising input to 1.6 EC. She's eating like a hog!

pH 5.8 in, pH 6.5 out.

Nice to see a scrog not all bunched up with 5 plants. You've obviously done this a few times..lol. I just can't wrap my head around growing without a screen these days. Keeps things compact and ya can't beat Max light on the canopy.

I've veered away from framed scrogs and use what I call floater screens or scrogs. Keeps my plants mobile so I can grow multiple strains and pull them as they ripen. Plus I save time in veg stage. I just throw on the floater and pull under for 10days. Then let them fly on auto pilot to harvest. The screen just grows with the plant. It's been an interesting method that I keep tweaking it as I go. Yeilds have definitely gone up. Always a good thing.

Your pretty technical with your grow. Ya lay out some good info in here. I'm excited to see these grow.

Happy to have you follow along Joe!

I'm curious about the new approach too with less light in flower. I munched on some leaves earlier and they were more potent than I expected, took me a little off guard. I suspect that lowering light hours all the way til harvest will alter the felt effects.
