Hi all, nothing new to report on PPP, time to watch paint dry for a few days
In the meantime, I'll be posting updates here for the next run. Same medium, feed, 5 gal fabric pots, temps, humidity etc. as the first run, just filling a 3 x 3' this round
Sunday was Day 5 of 12/12. I stretched the plants under the LED's for 12 days @14/10, same as last time, other than a couple of days extra. They went into 12/12 ready to flower and have already popped some small flowers. I moved everything into the centre of the room to take advantage of the reflective walls. Tight but can still move around them as needed.
Environment:
Will try and keep the same temp and humidity ranges as last round as they did well. Hasn't been a problem keeping this room dialled in, liking the control over the environment.
Temps: Lights On: 80-84F Lights off: 70-74F
Humidity: Lights On: 45-50% Lights Off: 50-55%
Strains:
3x Pure Power Plant, clones from the PPP hanging to dry right now
1x Jack The Ripper, clone from the JTR I pulled about 2 weeks ago (top-left in pics)
I have a bunch of new strains coming up and about 6 DIY crosses I want to run so this will be the last run for this PPP for a while I think. Looks and smells great, very pleased with the yield from it. Should have a good stash of it if this round goes well.
Light:
Will be running the light 16-18" above the canopy. As mentioned in the first run, got some burn and bleaching running it at 12-14". This gains some coverage and has no problem covering the 3x3' imo, should do well. It's sitting at 18-20" right now, the tops are pushing up towards the light, thinking they'll land around 16-18" in the next few days.
Medium/Nutes:
50% Pro-Mix/50% local Triple Mix
5 Gal fabric pots (Root Pouches)
AN Sensi Grow and Sensi Bloom, feeding every other watering @500-600 ppm, going to back off to around 500 and see how PPP behaves, it got some burn first time around, will adjust as needed.
Really liking this 50/50 combo of soil/pro-mix, holds water well, doesn't pack, plants like it, and haven't seen a single bug/fly since I switched to it. The supplemental nutes seem to keep things in balance well.
Grow style:
I'm liking these trellises, going to run them again, they're really handy. Each pot has 2 trellises, they're allowing me to keep the footprint and getting light to all the bud sites by opening the plants up. I likened it to a vertical scrog last round. I'm running the colas through the trellises when I bring them into flowering, they provide support for the larger buds, easy to tie back the tops to fill/keep the canopy even. Liking the flexibility with this setup, have the ability to move each plant around to get even coverage yet still have control over the footprint and canopy like a scrog. I move/cycle them around every 4-5 days to get even light to all the buds. I'm still tying/guiding the tops as they're expanding into the space, they'll settle down by next week.
Enough chatter, some pics of the current state, if I left anything out, feel free to ask...
Cheers
