DIFF's 3rd Indoor Grow Journal

Day 39

Watered this morning. Looks like about 60 hours between waterings. It took more to get runoff this time, to the point of using 1 gallon per watering now. This was a plain water day.

Excited to get my second 300 LED hooked up when it gets here. Unfortunately, I won't be abke to actually use it till tonight.

Also patiently awaiting my seeds. I will plant 1 auto seed and run it on 12/12 alongside this plant. See what I get from the auto. Then my next run will be 2 autos on 18/6 lighting.

That picture I took this morning was right after I watered. It doesn't look very good in that pic, but it perked back up shortly after.

My other 300W led arrived this afternoon. I moved my girl into the bathroom so I could install the 2nd light and also let them run today so I can get a feel for max temperature with 600w total. The added light is noticeable, i'm excited to get it under the added light tonight. I'm sure it's going to take a growth spurt.

1:15 PM - Lights have been on for 15 minutes. Temperature has went up from 72 to 77.5. Humidity is at 38%.

3:45 PM - Lights have been on for 3 hours 45 minutes. Temp is 78.6, humidity 34%

Day 40

About to finish 2 weeks of flowering. Plant is standing 20.5'' tall

After both 300w LEDs on for 18 straight hours, my temperature was at 84 degrees with a humidity of 35%

Don't mind my other experiments. Basil on the left, other 3 pots are oregano, rosemary and lavendar. Trying out some companion plants to increase overall environment

Plant grew almost 2'' inches during it's dark period! Wow. It's a little over 22'' tall now. 16'' away from my light. I'm going to guess another 6-10'' of stretch still to go. That will leave me with 6-10'' of distance between light. I can move it up another couple inches. It will be close, but my temps stay between 72-84, so I should be ok.

Day 41

Will be watering tonight. Used plain water last watering, so I will reintroduce Tiger and Big Bloom. 1/2 tsp for a gallon of distilled water.

The crawl continues. I was on vacation the past week, so things were going very slow. Glad to be back to work so I eliminate some of my bored time during lights off. Will post some pics when I water tonight.

Day 42

Wont be on till tomorrow night, so here is my early update for Wednesday. 14 days of flowering are complete! I've pushed my luck with watering one too many times I guess! I decided to wait until I got home to water (72 hours between watering), but the entire plant was drooping heavily!!!!! NOOOO!!! watering my girl as we speak!!!!!!

I've been on a pretty consistent 72 hours between watering since the beginning. I've noticed it's taking more (in flowering) to full saturate the pot. The last 2 waterings I have used 3/4 of a gallon at least. I'm going to give her an entire gallon of water tonight (w/ 1/2 tsp of both Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom). I think that should do the trick and let me continue my 72 hour schedule.

Added some pics outside the tent. My apologies, i did not realize how truly terrible the pictures look with the grow light on. In the future, i'll take pictures out of the tent.

Look what was in my mailbox!! Woot!!

Day 43 (15 days flowering)

Watered today after 48 hours. 3/4 tsp of big Bloom and tiger bloom. Fed 1 full gallon. pH tested at 6.8 after nutes mixed.

Day 44 (16 days flowering)

Plant continues to stretch. It was 10.5'' when I started 12/12. It is now 25.5''.

Germed one GSC auto seed 48 hours ago. Putting it in soil tonight!!!

Day 45 (17 days flowering)

Just over 26'' tall. 48 hours since h2o watering. Gave her 1 gallon w/ 3/4tsp big bloom and 1/2tsp tiger bloom. She was damn thirsty, got runoff towards the very end. Fighting some heat issues towards the end of lights on (4:00am-8:00am). Getting up to 85 degrees. Low temperature with lights off is 72. I'm going to get some bungee cords and attach my Carbon Filter with 4'' fan to the ceiling of the tent (it's currently on the ground). It works great for smell as is, but it would be removing the hot air if it was up top.

I re-arranged the fans. It's a never ending battle with these little fans!!! I seem to be moving them around almost every other day. HAHA.

Day 46 (18 days flowering)

3 weeks into flowering. I've got the "eagle claw" going on with a lot of the smaller leaves on the plant. I originally thought it was from the heat, but I no longer believe so. I'm pretty sure I've overfed with the last 2 waters having 3/4 tsp of Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom. I'm pretty sure the Tiger Bloom has caused this, not so much the Big Bloom.

I'll go with straight h2o for the next 3-4 waterings (at least 7-10) and hopefully the clawing goes away.

I'll post a pic of the plant as it sits tonight. I watered about 24 hours ago. I'm open to any suggestions.

Day 47 (19 days flower)

Water night. Going to give her double the norm. Instead of .75 to 1 gallon I'm going to give her 1.5 to 2 gallons so I can try to flush the remaining nutes out of the soil.

Def going to LST next time. I think this is part sativa, the bitch tripled in 15 days

Day 49 (21 days flowering)

3 weeks of flowering are in the books! The white hairs continue to explode, i'm starting to see some bud formation underneath all of them!

I'm going to be doing some adjusting with my lights this evening. This bag seed bitch just stretched to almost 30'' inches on me (10'' when I flipped to 12/12). My light is currently 8'' away from the canopy. I can gain another 4-5'' by hooking some new chain to my light and raising it up a few inches. The highest my temps are getting is 82 (towards end of light cycle). I think that she would be okay at the 8'' away, but i'd like to keep her at 12'' to maximize my lights coverage area.

Day 51 (23 days flowering)

Day 52 (24 days flowering)

Watered last night. Girl looks great, starting to get frosty.

Day 53 (25 days flowering)

Water day. Plant is sucking up water!!! I'm giving 1 entire gallon of water every 48 hours! And the pot is light as a feather by then! These fabric grow pots are amazing!

I'll give just h2o today. Smell is still non existent. The true test will be the next 4 weeks. I think this carbon filter is going to be able to handle it though.

Day 56 (28 days flowering)

Hard to believe it's been 8 weeks since I found a seed in some weed for the first time in 5 years. This all started with that seed and she has made it this far.

Watering again on my 48 hour schedule. 1 gallon. 1/4 tsp grow big, 1/4 tsp tiger bloom, 1/2 tsp big Bloom.

Day 58 (30 days flowering)

Watered again today, just plain h2o this time though. Starting to see some swelling come through the white hairs. I would not be surprised if this girl took another 5-6 weeks to finish. That would actually line up perfectly with my GSC auto plant that is 2 weeks old. Would be very nice to harvest the same week.

Day 59 (31 days flowering)

Plant has 2 middle fan leaves that are showing some rust. I've ordered some cal-mag, I will introduce ASAP. Hopefully it stops it.
