First indoor grow Grape Ape

Kolchak707 They grow up so fast…

Kolchak707 Developing fast

Kolchak707 Nice bit of growth. The sprouts look happy and healthy

Kolchak707 The girls could use a trim. I’ve read that autos should be left alone since their lifecycle is so short but I’m not entirely convinced Your thoughts?

Kolchak707 The girls have started to pre-flower this week. I flushed over the weekend and started to add flowering nutrients along with the same veg nutrients that I’ve been adding from the start. Super healthy with nice thick stems and leaves.

Kolchak707 Trimmed down a few super large leaves that were blocking light penetration. Also trimmed some of the older leaves. Added 2 gallons of ph adjusted filtered water spread across the three plants, ladies are drinking deep along with natural evaporation. I’ve added the Mars IR lights, running 15 min after the main light turns off and 15 before it turns on again six hours later. The girls seem to grow and develop noticeably every day.

Kolchak707 Very hot here recently and I forgot to reset the light timer after adjusting intensity so my hydro ran low on water. Throw in a PH meter that needed calibration and tada, yellow leaves. Adjusted everything last night and calibrated ph meter this morning to double check levels, all lol good. Keeping an eye on the ladies, waiting for the color to normalize. Took my two plants in soil out to the garden to enjoy the summer sun, both are doing very well. That’s all

Kolchak707 Color has been reverting to a “normal” shade of green since I corrected both light and PH. Moved the light to hang from an overhead rail instead of the movable frame.

Kolchak707 Taking longer than expected to fully flower, just in the pre-flower stage. Hopefully by next week we’ll see some true flowering on these ladies. The dominant plant on the far right sucks down over 1/2 gallon a day, the other two aren’t nearly as thirsty. Set light at 100% added the IR lights for 15 min after the main LeD turns off and 15min before it goes back on. Light feeding with grow only today

Kolchak707 The indoor girls are finally flowering nicely. Not sure if it’s attributable to the change I made to 12/12 lighting for the last few weeks or it was just finally their time. The big girl on the far right drinks about a gallon of water every day so I’m adding roughly a half gallon of filtered water each morning and topping off with another half gallon in the evenings.
