Progress Pictures

Grow Day 35 - Veg Day 35 (14 Oct 2020)

Left Plant:
No changes made.

Right Plant:
Finished off mainlining with the last top, defol and LST. She is free to grow from this point on until I need to Lollipop.I'll let her grow to about 2-3 feet from the base until I flip to flower






Grow Day 36 - Veg Day 36 (15 Oct 2020)

Tops have turned towards the light on both plants and the right one has recovered from the defol and last topping. I have a scheduled reservoir this weekend; I'm going to repeat the General Hydroponics Drain to Waste program "Week 2 - Early Growth" again for another 2 weeks.

I anticipate about 4 more weeks of veg before flipping to flower but what I'm waiting for is to fill about half the tent before the flip.







Grow Day 37 - Veg Day 37 (16 Oct 2020)

The PH was starting to drop so it was time to do a res change. I changed my mind and went with week 3 late growth drain to waste schedule. I also added in the airline check valves, as shown below, just as a precaution.

The left plant showed some impressive growth over the last 24 hours, these girls are really going to take off when the last of the mainlining and training is done.

For mixing my nutrients, here is the order I use. I generally like to let each settle for a bit while I stir frequently to ensure everything is mixed correctly. If you are new to growing, do this mixing in a separate container then do your res change.

• Armor SI Silica: Mixed in first and stirred every 15 minutes for 1 hour before adding any other nutrients.
• CALiMAGic: added, stirred, and left to sit for 15 minutes before adding any other nutrients.
• Flora Micro: Added, stirred, and left to sit for 10 min
• Flora Grow: Added, stirred, and left to sit for 5 min
• Flora Bloom: Added, stirred, and left to sit for 5 min
• HTC Pool Shock: Added at the end





Grow Day 38 - Veg Day 38 (17 Oct 2020)


No checks today.

Grow Day 39 - Veg Day 39 (18 Oct 2020)


No checks today.

Grow Day 40 - Veg Day 40 (19 Oct 2020)


Both plants are looking great today.




I also setup my new dome in my second tent with a slight modification for the humidifier. This will allow me to control the humidity directly in the dome rather than trying to control it in the tent itself. My plan is to clone back and forth from tent to tent.



Grow Day 41 - Veg Day 41 (20 Oct 2020)

I topped the left plant on both ends but only defoliated one side as that was the stronger side of the plant. This should give the other side a few extra days to catch up for a more even manifold.





End of week 6!
