Smorgasbord #1

dopestry After 48 hours of darkness, I flipped to 12/12 lighting having been on 18/6 lighting for the last 8 weeks in veg. Plants woke up rough due to a mixture of stress from darkness, terrible air quality from California wildfires, and not enough recovery time from HST (pinching) before darkness. Plants are starting to get happy again, just fed some compost tea beginning of the week and will gently mist with kelp foliar feed.

dopestry On Monday I moved the LSD Auto and Northern Lights Auto to the 2 x 4 tent with the other little auto seedlings to stay on the 18/6 schedule. I also did a light change and put my LEC 315 back into the 4x4 so I could move one of the SF1k LEDs to the 2x4. I fed all the gals a light mix of Water, Kelp, Super Thrive, B-Vitamins, and Big Bud. Apparently Tuesday morning when I came in to check on the ladies.... Fruity Pebbles was heat stressed from the LEC. I redirected my fans and raised the distance to 22 inches away from the canopy. They bounced back later in the evening after some dark time and light watering. On Wednesday I fed some recharge to all my plants in anticipation of heatwave for the next 3 days. I am now using 1 singular SF1k LED directly on top of the Northern Lights Auto that is entering week 11 and over a LSD Auto in week 6. The rest of the light spill is used for veg of the lil autos. I should be getting my ES180 v2 LED in to replace both the LEC and SF1k in the 4x4. I will save the LEC/SF1k combo for the Winter grows as the Fall is still way too warm in the evening. I have no air conditioning.

dopestry Harvested the Northern Lights Auto on Saturday after 40 hours of darkness. Did a four step bud wash (H2O2/Water, Lemon Juice/Baking Soda/Water, Water, Water). I defoliated and did some lollipop action to the ladies at the end of week 3 and jump started recovery and pushing bloom with a feeding of Kosmic Koma Bloom Booster.

dopestry Have been feeding about 16-32 oz of H2O w/CalMag, Kelp B-1 Vitamins, and ph @ 6 every 2-3 days since I was having issues with nute lockout/burn showing on one of the ladies. Smell of fruit/mangoes are starting to come on as I brush up against the ladies. Electric Sky is supplemented each night by 3 hrs of Rapid LED Indus Bloom bars.

Brown hairs are coming on for the FPOG and Berry White. The Hawaiian Dream and LSD are still filled with white hairs but are healthy nonetheless. The LSD is moved in nightly when lights come on for this tent and removed and returned to the auto tent before the big tent lights go off. The lighting schedule is decreasing in increment of 15 mins to switch to 11 on and 13 off, this is to experiment with possibly bringing out hiding gene expressions with reduced light time.

dopestry I have brown hairs on the FPOG and Berry White and it looks like a finish in about 1-2 weeks. 70-85% milky trichomes now with leaf fade on the Berry but got some dry crusty leaves happening on FPOG. Hawaiian Dream is frosty and in same boat in development minus brown hairs. Recharge feeding of 20 oz Sunday.... they were real thirsty.
