Hi 420SA members.
There was interest in the work that I've been getting at for the last few weeks, so I agreed to do a diary. Any guidance, advise or opinions welcome.
Grow Specs
Mamoth Classic 100 tent (1m² total floor space, 2m³ total).
1 x 240w quantum board. I don't think this is enough light, I'm considering adding another once I beat SARS in an ongoing cluster fuck from 2018.
2 x Ram Oscillating fans.
2 x HIT150 inline fans. One drawing filtered air from outside, the second exhausts outside to.
Substrate - 40% Coir, 40%Perlite, 20% Washed silica(I like the additional weight the silica adds to the bags/pots).
5ltr Letaba plastic grow bags because the dimensions of the bag was quite appealing due to space issues.
This will be my last grow using Nutriplex fertiliser program.
I have a pest management program in place which consists of yellow sticky traps and a neem application every 10-14 days(not during flower).
Beans were germinated at the end of Jan 2021. I selected only 2 mothers roughly 18 days later.
Moms at 18 days
Moms were topped and grown on for a further 20 days, then cuttings were taken. There is only one really sleg image I'm to embarrassed to share of the moms before they were mutilated.
Brand new cuts
Total of 12 cuts per plant were taken from each mother.
l
Rooted cuts 100% strike rate.
The cuttings had a 50% dilution of the Nutriplex veg formulation from day 1 and received a fluvic foliar every other day. Looks like it worked.
Bagged/potted cuts
4 days after the above image the plants were bagged and put into the tent. They received full strength Nutriplex veg formulation for 1 week, no issues.
Which brings us round to 6 April when the below image was snapped. Plants are looking good and new growth can be seen.
Thanks for looking, I really hope this grow ends well. CRIT, ADVISE and OPINION is always encouraged. Negative or positive, your feedback is valued... Particularly light and nutrition department.
