Severed's Fall 2021 indoor

[Severed Tongue]

And here we grow again.
My 3rd run indoors.

2 tents
3x3 with marshydro TSW2000
2x3 with marshydro TSW1000
18/6 for veg
Miracle-Gro moisture control soil
Miracle-Gro 24-8-16 plant food

This time I had 4 ACE fem seeds left over from a mixed random 5 pack, but only 2 of them seem viable. 1 didn't even pop tap root, and one popped buts it's got issues and looks like a mutant.

The 3rd one in there is mini green bell pepper plant.

Also propagated the 2 remaining Red Dragon FEM seeds (Barney's Farm 2020), I had left, they are getting planted from water today.

I also had my outdoor give me a bunch of seeds, so I have four F2 Hash Passion seeds also propagating in water and ready to plant. These are fresh seeds, put em right in water after picking them off the plant the day I chopped it. All four have popped tap roots so going to be interesting, my first time ever with my own made fresh seeds!

 

[Severed Tongue]

It's cool to see the difference in these 2. I wonder what they will turn our to be?

The one Ace of that 5 pack I ran last run has a berry / grape smell to it now, after 6 months cure.


So about a month old. Topping soon.

 

[Severed Tongue]

Thinking about topping the bigger one today. I'm not growing these out to fill the tent, I only want 4 tops, keep it reasonable lol, I still have almost a pound from last seasons indoor because I just don't consume that much, so it's more about having variety.

 

[Severed Tongue]

Topped finally last night, & pruned, just took pics now though.

Today is 6 weeks from seed.

The one on the left is pretty aggressively growing, nearly double the size of the other now height wise, it's crazy and it's praying like a mofo.

Both plants have same number of nodes. These also really have a strong aroma, very fragrant compared to my previous grows.

Since in 1 gal pots and only half full of soil, I'm watering about 1.5 litres daily atm.

Been running a humidifier 24/7 on lowest and cycling air through both tents with the AC Infinity on a setting of 3.

Both tents RH 55%-60%
3x3 temps - 18°C low 26°C high
Light 80%
2x3 temps - 18°C low 24°C high
Light 50%
Cycle 18/6

Up-potted to 5 gal pots last night. They are really happy and no stress at all, I'm telling ya, anyone reading, Miracle-Gro moisture control is a perfect medium for Cannabis.

I pruned the bottoms up, leaving 4 branches on each for clones, stripping old fans that were on the way out as these girls mature. Planning to do those clones tonight because flipping to flower in 2 days, exactly 8 weeks from planting.

BTW, that mutant in the bottom left is the same age.... lol. I'm going to up-pot to a 1 gal fabric pots and see if it takes off.



3rd round of seedlings popping, I've now sprouted 15 of each Red Dragon and Hash Passion. I've now got a wait list for them as I've gave them to friends. $10 for the cup, the soil, and the time, the plant is free. Still waiting on those Cherry Trees, it's been a few weeks so I'm thinking no go.

All cleaned up and ready to flip

3rd day of 12/12, happy happy and stretching. Was going to take clones from the bottom 4 nodes of each but I just haven't been motivated to bother.

Tap water only, 2 litres each
Increased dimmer to 100%

Moved all my 1 gal bell peppers to the 2x3. Tossed the 4 cherry tree starts, not a single one propagated. Oh well... I still have a fair amount of seeds in the freezer so.ill try again.

Up-potted 3 best seedlings to 1 gal pots. I don't have any more on hand so Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals I picked up some more vivosun fabric pots(15% off), a 6 ton Dabpress rosin press(15% off) and a MarsHydro FC-3000 (20% off + 3% code)

Day 7 update of 12/12
Some stretch going on.
No pistols yet on either plant.
Removed 4 lower branches on each.

 

[Severed Tongue]

I was going to update once a week but 3 days later we have reached lift off lol
And so, weekend update




Moved everything around a little to get better air circulation. Finally seeing the 1st fruit on the biggest of the bunch of the bell peppers.

Not really impressed with the any of the seedlings so far. All of them are extremely slow and weak, definitely nothing like thier parents.


Last, the mutant.

 

[Severed Tongue]

So found aphids 2 days ago. Sprayed with bug-b-gone yesterday. Gave 24 hours then stripped the bottom half of the pepper tree as it wasn't really healthy and just wanted to prune it down as its getting out of hand.

Removed all plants from tent both tents cleaned with lysol, then bleach. Gave the 3x3 plants a nice 15 min shower each. I'll give them 24 hours then repeat the bug-b-gone then 24 hours then shower again.

Fucking bugs.... got a feeling ill be doing this every 3 days for next 2 weeks.

They seem to have really enjoyed the shower, which also fully soaked the soil.

Nice grow! I had a question! What kind of material is holding the cuttings in the wide-mouthed glass jars?

Day 21
Did another bug spray, then shower last Sunday. So far seems to have taken care of them, as I spent an hour inspecting and found no signs of bugs at all.

I think the stretch is almost done.
Cleaned up all the larf and damaged fans. It's always sad to cut off flower for me, but I know it's only larf and waste of energy.
Inserted a bamboo stick and added support. Decided to just do a single one in the middle and tie to it vs the cage. Way less work and way easier access.
1st feeding, Miracle-Gro bloom 15-30-15, half strength, 4 litres each.
They are down because of just being fed.







Think I'm going to scrap the 3 in 1 gal, they are just shitty growing, look sickly and weak and are very slow, while the 2 in cups are looking healthy and ready to up pot. Just goes to show that it's entirely dependent on the seed, but its amusing to see so many would see a pic and immediately blame the medium or whatever else they imagine.

Bell peppers are all fruiting.

Day 29

 

[Severed Tongue]

Day 35 (5 weeks flower)

Chopped a bunch off the pepper tree and moved it to the smaller tent.

Still battling aphids and whiteflies, although they seem to prefer the pepper plants over cannabis. The leaf damage is from using bug b gone, then giving them a shower, not nute burn. I'm rough with them, after seeing how they get abused outdoors they can handle it and it matters not to the plant.

Starting to get a grape smell on one of them, not sure which, installed the carbon filter, now on its 4th run and still doing its job.

 

[Severed Tongue]

Day 43 (6 weeks flower)
The bigger one is starting to suck nutes from lower fans, need to up her feed.
Had to stake all the stems, as the battle to kill bugs and spraying they were really heavy, and even one main broke. Also due to spraying many of the fan leaves are damaged but as I've seen outdoor, they still do their job so I won't remove them. I think I've finally stopped the aphid infestation as I haven't seen any for 5 days now.


The 2 girls I Up-potted to 1 gal seem to be happier and taking hold, still not overly impressed. I figure I got about a month to go on the flowering girls so might pop a few more seeds and see if I can find a better pheno.

Pepper tree is happy as shit. Harvested 3 dozen ripe red peppers a couple days ago, and it's popping more daily.

All the mini bells are coming along, but the aphid damage and subsequent spraying has stunted them a bit. Need to prune off all the damaged leaves as they are turning black which means rot and is bad.

 

[Severed Tongue]

Day 50 (7 weeks)
Everything coming along.
Peppers galore

 

[Severed Tongue]

Day 57 (week 8 )
Reduced light another 30 min, now at 10:45 light/ 13:15 dark.
Reduced to 75% on dimmer (2 weeks ago)
Buds are stacking.
No signs of bugs (on the flowering girls).
No signs of deficiency.
Damaged fans seem healthy, no signs of infection.

Started a couple more seeds.
Pepper tree, seeing some aphids again... fuck me. Once spring hits, it's going back outside and never coming back in. The ones in 1 gal .... the HP I will trash, the RD though looks like it's outgrown it weakness, although spotted some aphids just now as well.... FUCKING FUCK I HATE BUGS.
Moved all bell peppers to 3x3, just for more room. Inspected with scrutiny, no aphids there.

 

[Severed Tongue]

Day 58 (week 9 )
Red Dragon in the 1 gal finally decided its time to grow. The Hash Passion is trying too but sick.... was really hoping it would have outgrown it. 3 sprouts seem to have stalled, it's been a week.

Pepper tree continues it cycles. Pain in the ass having to clean up all the droppings lol, and way too many peppers for me, actually going to make hot sauce with a bunch.


Now here's the Girls.
They look totally fucked lol!
However the buds appear to be fine and swelling, so fans are still serving their purpose.

i reduced light another half hour, to 10:30 light / 13:30 dark.
