Lilindian, I wanted to ask, is your baby light green in color or is that caused by your lights? If I may suggest, don't stop using your grow nutes now that you have switched to flowering. I stopped using my grow nutes and by the fourth week of flower my colombian gold was really starting to yellow. I've since started adding grow nutes back into my liquids before watering. It's slowed the process a bit but they are still yellowing. My other three strains are doing ok. I have two chocolopes going, ninety five percent sativa. They have looked ragged from the beginning and were also loosing their green, these have responded pretty well to the extra N and I'm having no problem keeping them green.

Again, very much appreciate the "heads up" but this is a problem i'm well aware of since by first grow! Figured out bck then its best to continue nitrogen feeding in smaller dosage throughout at least the first half of flowering. If leaves start fallin off towards the end of flowering, well thats kindve natural no?

The leaves are ever so slighlty light in colour, not as dark green as previous strains ive grown. Bare in mind i hav no previous experience with canna bio nutes, so i don't really know how plants react to certain dosages. For example if i'd have fed my last plants fulll stength hesi nutes everytime i would have nothing to show come flowering! Would be burnt and dead. So far though canna bio nutes seem to be a lot more gentle on the plant, leading me to believe i can afford to comfortably feed with higher dosages. I'll probably continue small N feeds until 4-5th wk flowering.

So u got colombian gold, chocolope, wat r the other 2? Glad to hear u got things under control, i see u dont hav a journal goin on, shame, quite interested in ur grow.

I also have a super skunk and a critical+kali mist going which is eighty percent sativa. Not exactly sure of the sativa/indica ratio in a super skunk.

Nope, no journal but I post regularly on the club 600. Been on that thread for almost two years so there are probably lots of pics of my previous grows if you're interested.

  • Lots of pics today, she's getting proper nice and bushy now, canopy is slowly thickening up.

  • Seems to have taken well to the feed yesterday.

  • Temp sitting at 29C, still warm, considering getting a temp controlled RVK, my current 5" one moves 250m3/hour, and the 5" temp controlled one moves 400m3/hr, which should be more than sufficient. It also has an idling speed to set it at for when the temp is below the set mark. Need to get a bit of money together but this will most likely be my next upgrade.

How do you water her? And how much do you give her?

Ive attached a hose to the end of my watering can, so i can stick the hose through the canopy to the soil. I water through this.

She's sitting in a 25L bucket, i give her approx 15L with a good amount of run off each time. Takes around 4-5 days for the soil to start creeping away from the edges of the bucket.

  • Decided to solves my high temp problems by buying a new extractor fan, opted for the "Prima Klima 5" Temperature Controlled Extractor Fan", not only does this have a built in temp sensor, but its also a 5" that moves an extra 170m3/hr than my old 5" RVK. The result? A LOT of negative pressure. Without all intakes running its quite hard to open the doors!

  • Decided to use the old RVK as an intake fan. I stuck this where the 4" Inline fan was, and moved the 4" inline to where the computer fan was, and moved the computer fan to my bin.

  • Although not necessary, i decided to add a duct to the end of the intake RVK so i could direct the fresh air to the far right of my cab. Air is extracted from the top left of the cab (left side of reflector), so if fresh air coming in from the bottom right of the cab makes sense to me. I have the other 4" inline fan for undirected fresh air.

  • Intake RVK was hung from bungee cords to minimise vibrations and therefore noise.

  • New fan is definitely moving more air, but its also slightly louder, i think... Maybe i havn't boxed it up in pillows as well as i'd done last time... I'm no electrician, but from my understanding of things, the fan speed is governed by a variable resistor. When this is in use, i.e. the fan isn't at full blast, it makes a humming noise! Would've assumed the manufacturers would've done something to minimise this but it doesn't look like it. My only complaint so far.

  • The temp sensor for the new fan has been placed in the middle of the first screen at screen level below the canopy. It's set to 24C, as if the air down there is 24C then the air at canopy level will be around where i want it to be, hopefully. When i installed my original temp sensor when i first build the cab, i stupidly glued it in place where it sits, and it cant be moved unless i snip it and reattach it. You can see where the sensor is, under the vertical ducting on the right. This is where i have to get my temp readings from.... at the moment its alright but it wont be for long.

  • Plant is growing well and still looking in top form for the time being. Hope she appreciates all this work!



NEW EXTRACTOR: (acoustic ducting used if you're wondering why its so puffy)




BOXED UP:




NEW INTAKE SET UP:






(Come watering the ducting can easily be collapsed and the RVK moved to the side to avoid being splashed in any way)


THE RESULT: (Down from 33C last night)



(Currently sitting at 21.2C)

THE PROBE:



OTHER PURCHASES:



(To be used together with Bio Boost and Molasses from week 2 flower onwards)

MY BUSH:

Well done on the temps! I myself need to come down a few degrees.

Thanks man, been an on-going battle since i first began this growing business, i have a stupid amount of fans now, 2 RVK's, one 4" inline, one 5" inline, and three 6" desk fans (only 2 being used at the moment), bit over the top for 1 plant! At least i can say with confidence i have good air movement...

Fat bush. I'd say second scrog now.
When are you planning on adding it?

When am i planning on adding what now? 2nd Screen? Whenever the branches on the right of the screen grow up to the K'nex bar at least.
