She bounces back really nicely from the pruning/training.

Not ideal, but at least you've saved yourself a handful of effort when it's time to harvest It will easily go another week, but I doubt it will do much other than just possibly ripen a little bit more. If it starts looking over stressed or struggling in the next day, then maybe just harvest.

INTRODUCING AntZilla.

That isn't too bad! -
Organic Tent™ is a go! Four ZxP plants have been transferred into the 1.2x1.2 tent and I will be running a 18/6 light schedule to keep the plants in veg so I can train them up. I also threw a nice helping of mycoroot right where I transplanted them into the pots and just watered with plain water as a first watering. I will give them a few days to just settle in their new spots then I will make some chops and top all four. I have done 8-branch manifolds quite successfully in the past when I was still doing DWC so I think I may just do the same with these four under a net and see what happens. I am also making moves in my veg tent. Seeing as I want to do all plants in the big flower tent all at once instead of staggering them 6 at a time, I need to start developing mother plants of the strains I want to do so I can take the 12-18 clones required all at once. Then thereafter, I will be able to just simply take clones from the plants in the big tent before I flip them to flower, or just continue with the mothers. I'll decide closer to the time. So far, I have potted up two ZxP plants to be mothers for future clones, then I will do the same for the winning pheno of the KmintZ clones, and then lastly the Wedding Cake that is still sitting in the propagator.

Week 5, it's the same as the KmintZ but the ZxP looks almost more mature from the amber pistols even though they were put into flower at the same time. I want to push the ZxP this time around and see what kinda colours come out.

Round 3 - FIGHT!!! (Deluxe Sugarecane & Bananium)
Ill_Evan replied to Martin7318's topic in Grow Diaries
That's good development for two weeks -
This is week 5 for the KmintZ, week 2 of ZxP, and week 1 of Wedding Cake. I've taken clones of the Wedding Cake plants in the flower tent, and also trimmed up the lower branches. The KmintZ continues to push on in the flower tent and is looking great. At about this time in the last batch I was already getting bitch slapped by PM, now not so much. Small victories! The KmintZ clones in the veg tent also appear to have fully reveged now and are growing more in size. I've setup the new Organic Tent™ and have the materials ready to go. Inspired by @The Grass Baas I am going to train 4 plants under a net in a 1.2x1.2 tent and see if I can get some chonky heads for the boys. I'll be using 20L pots, FF Premium Classic soil, BioBizz nutes and 320W total LED spread between two 240W QBs set to ~160W each. I have some clones ready to go so I will probably do a round of ye olde ZxP. I'm thinking of reducing the pot count in the big flower tent and growing all the pots with the same strain at the same stage of growth after finishing up what's currently in there. Seeing as I have the additional Organic Tent™ to do alternative strains I feel I am wasting the potential of the bigger tent by not doing training, plus having the AutoPot system will make it a breeze as I will only have to worry about the training and not watering every plant by hand. Yes indeed

Round 3 - FIGHT!!! (Deluxe Sugarecane & Bananium)

I see what you mean now about your net being too big -
This man knows

The bar has officially been raised

Definitely keeper material, it's two of the KmintZ.

Lots to update! I have switched my lighting schedule around in order to have my lights-on during the day instead of at night. Our house has gotten a solar power upgrade recently so I'd like to take advantage of that to offset the electricity costs. I can accommodate the additional heat during the day now so it's a win. I have cleaned up the bottoms of the ZxP that went in last week and I have also switched the reservoir tap on, so auto feeding from here on. While I was at it, I also put the Wedding Cake plants into the flower tent after a preventative treatment of spinosad. They will be top fed for a week then the reservoir will be put on for them as well. Veg tent is looking kinda empty now! I will take the Wedding Cake clones in a week after they have settled in the flower tent for a bit. I have finally finished trimming all the ZxP lower branches from the drying tent and have added them to the total along with the tops. The total for the last batch of ZxP was 257g. So the ZxP harvests in order have been 87g -> 136g -> 257g. All 6 plants each. I think that's progress! Although the yield has increased, I have a mega bunch of popcorn nugs, not including the tiny nugs I just decided to throw into the trim bin for making extracts. I would like to work towards developing the buds more independently on each plant and have fewer lower branches. I think my scrog net game has also improved somewhat as well! We will have to wait until the big 'ol flops start flopping to test it out.

I think the TS600 would work fine in your 0.6x0.6 tent. Even if you got the 120W QB you probably would have wanted to run it at 100W anyways. The housing of the TS600 basically acts as a heatsink on it's own. If someone who has actually owned this LED can comment, that'd be great, but on paper it seems fine to me.
-
I also thought about that but figured due to the size of the tent to not recommend otherwise. At least it's the right diodes Maybe he's lucky and it's got a proper heatsink like the one I have on my 120W QB. It is a good point though, those budget LEDs with the flat aluminium plates as a heatsink are dogshit and get super hot. One guy told me his experience where his LED like this even shocked him if he accidentally brushed past it, but that was a freak case
-
Yes it will be, especially the Premium Classic green bag. I do believe however you will need some bloom nutes going into flower just to help out the buds develop.

..and it's gone!
-
Tell us about your disillusion, what happened with the space bucket grow? You could do one decent plant with that tent and light I rate.

I have potted the KmintZ clones, 8 in total. I will only need 6 of them, but you can never be too careful with a new strain! The Wedding Cake plants will soon be potted into the flower tent, thinking maybe another week. I have also weighed the trimmed tops of the ZxP, as well as the Gorilla Zkittlez. After I have trimmed the bottoms of the ZxP, I will add it to the total with the tops, but for now the ZxP weight only includes the tops. ZxP Tops: 115g Gorilla Zkittlez: 173g

Winter is coming! I have two 425W Goldair Heat Panels attached to custom wooden frames for sale that I am no longer using. You can easily fit them inside a grow tent and attach to a Sonoff switch to automate your temperature during the cold months. The panels alone cost R699 new. I would like R400 for each panel along with their frames respectively. If you are in my area/adjacent area that would be great, but I can always make a plan for courier as well. Many thanks
