Vinny’s Revenge
Hey gang!
So i just wanted to say that my light crapping out on me has left me scrambling to get whatever I can to suffice until my light arrives home with the potentiometer all fixed. Still using the t5 but I removed the 2700k go green cob led because they were not responding positively at all.
I had to rewire my old vero optic 120 that has only one working 5000k cob in it. That and the t5 and the plants seem happy. Not much really to speak of other than the lighting debacle.
My meanwell driver should be back home in about a week, but I may not need to change out til they start flowers.
Minor setback. Ya gotta roll with the punches to be a versatile grower on a budget!

Temps are on the rise and my veg shelf hit 92 degrees this afternoon so I will go ahead and move these plants into my 2′ X 4′ X 6’7″ Gorilla Grow Tent But only have room for 16 plants at this stage so 1 plant has to go. I started breaking down the top of this shelf and dropped my other 2 LEDs before taking this photo, I work from the top down and is the reason for the led strip laying on the next shelf up.

I will be removing Blueberry Freeze #4 from the competition, He is very small in comparison to the other 16 plants.



The remaining 16 plants will go under a Horticulture Lighting Group 288 Watt XL Quantum Board LED V2 At 50% strength or 700 lumens hitting the floor of the tent. Light is hung just over 17 inches from the ceiling of the tent and is about 61 inches from the floor. I do not move this light.
I use an iPower 4-inch carbon filter on a AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T4

Gave my plants a foliar feed this morning 300 ppm .. WOW .
Think I am going to buy this stuff from now on .

I believe that on most plants, the 1st two nodes are "training wheels". Both the single-blade seed-leaf and sprout, and the 3-toed-sloth leaf and sprout are there for initial support, and thereafter are worthless unless you like LARF that detracts from your prime growers.

Here we have all 4 with their now useless appendages removed. I like to do it early to promote growth in what's left, and to make it less painful Once they start getting bigger it's harder to do - mentally

And I'll be the ass and ask that people not post 27 full size pictures of 27 plants that all look the same. I can also understand a sentence saying that you used a teaspoon of bat-guano rather than a full sized picture of it.

Just remember! Bash on me in the other thread LOL

Haven't done anything since transplant. Nothing. Here is a couple pics.

Here we are today .
So I add these nutrients to my Amazon cart .
Smallest two

#115 I've been haveing some cold temp issues and it shows in the stunted growth but will be transplanting soon and when it goes to that room those problems will end these are the sccraglers I will choose one to keep my number at 18 but normally wouldn't and always have others to fill in an empty pot but this time she lives as I said doing a full transplant soon and then on to veg so now that these temp problems are fixed things should speed up and get moving happy growing!!

Tonight the plants got fed from the bottom with a 1100 ppm of nutes and additives .
Marine algae , humid acids , kelp extract
Beneficial microbes , B vitamin cal max
Enzymes and a nutrient uptake enhancers.

Wednesday April 10th

All 3 plants appear healthy, they stay under 24/7 lighting and watering daily now (tap water).

#125
First time soaking the pots. Mixed 1/2gallon for each plant, and I now know that 1/2 gallon will soak a dry 2gallon pot with a little run-off. 3/4 gallon will be better in the future to get a good run-off sample to test.

Here's my feeding set-up. To keep things straight for the 4 systems I have a 1gallon jug for each plant and mix and pH all the stuff first then put it back in the jug. I did a spreadsheet for each system with the recommended dosage for one gallon, then spaces for me to figure how much to actually use, how much water, ppm in and out, etc. I figure everything on there, then in my journal I just write "V1-50%" for example.

Here's everything ready to go, I label the caps so I don't mix it up. Third watering, so the Gen Hydro got plain RO with cal-mag (feed-feed-water), Dyna-Gro got week 2 of veg because they don't have a specific "seedling" feed, and the FF Trio and Gringo-Rasta got week one of veg..
Since this was the first time soaking the pot, the middle around the root-riot plug just now got watered down.
So after watering I added soil to top them off. I added soil last because I know there are no roots in it - doesn't need water.

Weekly update

#121.

I transplanted my 6 clones to 1 gallon pots today.



The clones are the 6 plants in the front.

So this are the Fire Og and the Tre Og that I had going under a few T5's. I'm about to transition to a 315 for a bit.

Weekly update 4/10.
All 63 are alive and well. A few runts and a few Amazon's as always.
Here's the average with roots sticking out of the pot already.
Topped res today, 1.5 MegaCrop. Judging by past performances these are doing stellar. They tray behind it took nearly a week for all clones to reach the flood line, hence no more RR cubes straight to flood table.
