Curing trim

Added a dehumidifier to the tent & managed to lower the humidity

Started our 48hr darkness pre harvest. Really looking forward to the harvest

Saw evidence on zinc deficiency on C & D, added our nutrients with the most zinc in again. Will revisit tomorrow & hope it has changed

Trimmed our roots

Day 9 Flower

Day 7

New shroud arrived & was installed

Truly switched to flower

Added 2nd SCROG net

Changed light cycle to 16hrs on & 8hrs off

Large shade leaves taken

Impressed with how well the girls have taken to defoliation & LST. All 4 have produced some lovely, big green leaves. All have pushed lower branches to reach the canopy & no wasted effort in put into unnecessary sites

1/4 of normal nutrient mix

TANK CHANGE

Spread out the branches of A & D to prevent shading

3L fresh water

Fresh water added to tank

Shade leaves taken to bring light to lower branches

Pulled A, C & D to opposite corners of the tent. Hopefully light will penetrate the canopy that's developed & shine on lower branches

Fresh water added to our water tank to bring the ppm down and combat evaporation

Upped light to 600

2 low leaves off A & 4 low leaves off B. We did this to help these plants increase other areas & not waste energy looking after unimportant leaves

1 damaged leaf removed

D is looking droopy, a green healthy plant, but definitely droopy. All the others are thriving in the tent, even C (popped at same time, but still a week behind the other 3) has turned a corner into a healthy young plant. After some discussion as to what D could be lacking, we decided to put a rotating fan in the tent to create a gentle breeze. We have ruled out nutrient deficiency, light too far away, not enough water and rest period timings. We are hoping this breeze encourages D to strengthen her stems in preparation for future bud sites

Tap water

Decided that A was strong enough

We created our own ring feeders because D was showing signs of underwatering. We also changed our feeding schedule from 15mins watering to 30mins to ensure that D gets the right amount of water for her growth

Due to sediment settling to the bottom of our water tank, we decided to add an air stone with an air pump to our tank. We plan to use this combo at high speeds to continuously mix the water to prevent sediment settling. As this pump isn't for fish, we decided against a check valve for the tubing. This set up will need rinsing at the same intervals as the water pump in the tank

Realised we had overloaded the nutrient water when the plants started yellowing after 24hrs, so changed out the water before permanently damaging the girls

Moved girls from humidicrib to individual pots. Jiffy pucks in the centre of clay balls. HPS light at 400 watts, on for 24hrs. Portable Aircon unit pumping into intake vent

Watering every 4hrs

We have set up our watering system and pots. We are using the Ebb & Flow hydroponic technique. Our individual pots sit above the water tank, with the outflow pipes aiming at our water tank as a way to reuse the water and nutrients. We have a water pump inside our tank (fish grade) attached to our watering tubes, which are positioned through the pot edge and aimed at the base of our Jiffy pucks. This position is to provent soil blow out. We intend to implement a ring feeder system for a more even water displacement in the next stage. Our water pump is attached to a 24hr timer which activates the pump every 6hrs for 15mins of full water flow. We originally tried a 4hr watering period, but believed it was over watering our girls and didnt want to stress them out. We have managed to organise the water pump to activate 15mins before our HPS light turns off for a 6hr rest period, which means that they are watered again right before the light turns back on.
