Prom

OK, Update, should be week 5 day 1 (to early to think straight ) Tarryn got a FIM.. hope I hit the right spots.. like usual ^^ Had 2 load shedding sessions yesterday, one today. 16-18.30 Sisa got a close shave, will try a mainlining.. quick one And I found out why I have no video.. the cams OS crashed and stayed on record mode.. without recording. Had 3 empty files on the cam and gave me a face palm, when I figured out why the cam says empty battery, even it hangs on power 24/7. Took the battery out for a cold boot and the cam is working again. Is a first it did that..

I don't mind.. if easier for final judging, please do so. Back from Eskom outage

Eskom steals 5 hours growing time.. is a word I can put them in the battery backup mother tent. But how many out there have that? I run the videos also with the point to prove.. I am sticking to the rules my plants run 100% indoor with the Eskom exception. In other countries.. you don't have power outages during grow competitions, or at all . Might take those exceptional situations into account.. 5 hours load shedding plus the dark time in the wrong spot.. you can't simply change the dark time to a totally different time window.. that confuses the plant as much as not getting enough. Not good with the short grow time we have anyhow. Don't get me wrong, not complaining hehehe mother tent it is We Germans love to stick to rules.. strange thing hehehe

4 June Update Had 2 load shedding sessions. 2-4.30 they were dark anyhow, 10-12.30 I put them outside. Today 10-12.30 I put them outside, if sunny and 18-20.30 they go battery backup mother tent ^^ Just got repotted yesterday, so no feeding. Had issues with the video.. if I still can get things working.. I post it, if not, tomorrow next one.

Is a way better solution for what you want to do. Clear from my side

Documenting every step is actually quite a mission As the pots got bigger... remembered that I have to set the light new too. Distance to the canape is 61cm (288 QB 3000k 660nm, all 4 used in the tent) Tarryn Sisa

I understand that he wants more weed per seed.. ergo.. he drops a seed, raises the plant, turns her into 9 cuttings and veges them again to put later into flower.

Get a second Update for 3rd June Repotted both from their 3L home in 10L pots, will go 22 when I flip them. Decided I cut the main tomorrow on Sisa, end first veg week ^^ Roots Tarryn Roots Sisa Repotted Plants

I don't want them to waste energy on branches I remove anyhow ^^ But yes, I actually wanted to just cut the new grown branches.. next snip will be the main.. thinking when to do it... might just be a spontaneous action I still have 3 weeks veg.. I might go full mainlining on Sisa. No risk, no fun

Harvest in total more, yes.. but time you used to get to that harvest is a lot longer. Raising the mother, then take 9 clones and finish those clones.. takes a few weeks on top of the seed grown plant. If you want to increase harvest, learn the strain you want to grow on regular interval. It isn't to difficult to reach over 2g/watt even with LED lights. You just need to learn what the plants like and what they hate. If you do not care about phenos, get Regular seeds, make your own seeds, feminize them.. and drop 9 each time to fill your tent. That is the fastest way to produce loads with one tent.

Day 6 of week 4 Update Nothing, no changes Video 2 - 3 June

due to the grow behavior of clones, you need to LST or HST each plant or harvest will not be good. Cloning hassle only makes sense with pheno hunted strains... keep what you like, dump the rest. Otherwise, seeds you can go to vacation.. mother tent needs attention.

If i would have the space... would more then welcome to finish those beauties. First day 12/12 double size in 2 weeks, yep, they need space Just stunning... cant look enough on the middle pic. 4 in a 1.2x1.2 and should be full

The Master shows the way.... sexy shit, bru! But why flower outside? So little sun, indoor you get best idea how well each develops buds. I could only judge the gelatos indoor. The winner in potency, taste and bud size only showed indoor how different she really is.

2nd June Update Day 5 of week 4 Got snipped as mentioned yesterday and got feed.. still same Fish-Mix/Blue Heaven (1/2ml per liter mix) Video 1-2 June

Cons are the extra gear you need and need the space for it too. The mother plant will always need 18/6 light. You can keep them in your veg tent, bit to much light for a mother tent, but works. And you need a seperate flower tent to flower the clones. Best work 3 tents for a cloning setup. Mother, veg and flower tent. Then i would pheno hunt the seeds first, you should pheno hunt with regular seeds, not feminized. Anything changing the genetics is not welcomed when you hunt. Running a mother tent, you could calculate the Eskom cost each month to buy seeds. So is cloning cheaper... i wouldnt say so and makes only sense, if you pheno hunt your strains to keep... otherwise.. i would stick to seeds... grow them when you want.

Looks very much like potassium deficiency.

80% humidity.. if you put a small little electric heater in that tent and raise the temp, the humidity level will drop very quick. Vent less the tent but keep the inside fans on max to mix the air well. Temperature is the easiest way to reduce humidity. I only add the dehumidifier when it is already hot.. it cools and dehumidifies in one go. Now, with 18.5 degrees.. little 400 watt temp regulated wall plug heater would take PM out of your good night dreams You get those at Takealot.. or where ever you find them.. cheap and 400 watt isn't 1200 watt my dehumidifier leeches out of the wall At 22 degrees, you should already be below 60% humidity.. the plants also enjoy the extra heat.

Reusing soil you had on flower before... can be problematic. If you did a flush, less stress, if you didnt flush at all and used nutes till the end.. that mix is hot like hell Dont used that soil as seed starter... even would suggest to use it for repotting only once you go flower. And stick to water only the first two weeks. You dont know what NPK ratio is in that soil. Expect to run into issues. Best would be to flush the soil before you use it and add a bit more perlite to the mix. Easier to flush if you need to flush again. BioBizz Bloom should be back on the shelves soon... dont look to far for options.

did you fertilize the plants you had on that bank? And if yes, you used flower nutes last?

To much chlorine is not good... using chlorinated water from the tap, is not of benefit for your micro organisms in the pot. Doesnt mean you cant grow in tap water... but chlorine toxicity is possible on cannabis plants. Chorine is a micronutrient, needs veeeery little to keep a plan happy. If you are bound to tap water... use a waterfilter with a charcoal filter, good for you too, shouldnt disturb your micro life in the pot. Overwatering with untreated tap water can disturb your pot very much and add time till the plant swings back.

If you let the plant to long in the hot mix, she will suffer more. If you can exclude overwatering, flush it asap. Forgot... add more perlite to your soil mix, at least 20% more. Helps airing the roots.

Did my first snips ^^, 6 to be correct. Removed both Cotyledons and the leaves and branches of the first 2 nodes. You see it in the video tomorrow ^^ not sure we count the snips on the Coty's.. they were yellowed anyhow 4 snips..

Don't you want to re-pot those?? Are a bit big for the cup size you use.

If the soil comes from your compost heap.. is to hot to add 2ml fish mix. The soil looks not really to wet.. but what I see is the wet version.. not the dry version, correct? If that is your dry version.. go more dry before you feed. If you can exclude overwatering, then I would say that is a N burn. Let 60 liters of clear water run through that pot.. raise it, so the water can easy exit.. then get as much water out of the pot, the fast lifting game ^^ and let it rest and dry up. No Fish-Mix at all.. first feed after the flush I would go 1ml Grow.. bring some sugar to the micro organisms and no need to go heavy on N right away again. If the plants new growth is getting better in color, give another 1ml Grow, then swap back to 1ml Fish Mix. If you compare Fish Mix to Seagro.. that is like comparing a Battle Tank with a kiddy toy pistol. I would go heavy overwatering with what I see... but you have to exclude that. Or is a combo.. the plants went into lockout and you went on feeding the normal way.. what will result in overwatering issues to the nutrition issue.
