Little tent grow

Gave a light feeding yesterday with AN Bloom. Looking good and happy today.

The good news is that the SB (back right) is a girl. Found two lovely white pistils this morning.
Bad news is that i think i jumped the gun declaring them both Fem. TS (back left) preflowers seem to be forming on stalks. I'll give it a few more days.
Still nothing clear on the GSC (front).



Starting to stink a bit, but only in the attic. Exhaust system is in the house, but not set up yet. I bought a 6" knowing it's overkill, but thinking it would be more upscalable, and that I could run it on the lowest setting and it would be quieter.

Also picked up a MarsHydro 27" x 27" x 62" tent. That should fit perfectly in the closet I'm wanting to use. Gives me a bit bigger footprint, but an extra foot in height. And I figure that's about as big of an area is you can reasonably be able to flower well with a single QB288. This will be the new veg tent.

Have started a 00 Seeds Northern Lights fem, several of Cannabeizein's Holodeck Jesus, and a Afghan Kush from World of Seeds (started two, but only one germed). Am hoping that the AK turns out to be a male. Would like to chuck some Kush pollen at the GSC and SB after harvest and reveg.

Eventful overnight.

Tent looking a bit sad:


I tied down the SB (back) a bit to try to LST it to fill up more of the space... not sure if that's a good idea. It's a pretty even canopy with them not tied down, but a fair amount of empty space. Hopefully it'll push enough new growth to fill out the tent a bit more.

Nice work. bro. Maybe you got an old Mars tent? Because my tent is a little different with yours. The poles are white.

The one in the pics is the Cool Grows tent. Mars isn't set up yet... but it does have white poles.

Damn, sorry to see you’ve got a male plant in there. I love micro grows though - fascinated by how much you can produce in such a tiny space. But I am curious why you’re using the light so high? Cannabis is a light hungry plant and the higher you raise the light, the less umol you’re giving it. I wouldn’t run a panel like that any higher than 12”.

Nice work, hope the rest of the grow goes smoothly for ya.

That's about what it's at now. It was a bit closer before the LST on the SB. I had them higher in veg while I was working out the problems I was having. I'll dial it in a bit more once the stretch is over (which I think it mostly is).

Having lights high will induce stretching as the plants are not getting the proper intensity. Keeping them lower where the intensity is optimal will go a long way to reduce stretching.

Hey bro !!! Just some info that helped me in the past with soil grows. keep your soil aerated by squeezing the pots it'll helps loosen up the soil allowing more oxygen too the roots that will also help promote growth

I do this also and believe it helps a lot with bud size during flower. Glad to hear I am not the only one doing this.

Nice looking group of plants.

2 weeks since the flip. Trying to get a level canopy and make the most use of the light... but a lot of the light is being wasted. I just went back upstairs and removed the black trays, that'll give a bit more reflected light, but doubt it makes much of a difference. GSC finally showed female a couple of days ago.

Your plants look great following along

Yea bro it’s a must in soil grows for me !!!
I don’t do it daily but at least once or twice a week I squeeze lol !!!

Wish you happy growing buddy.

Did a bit of trimming this afternoon.

SB Before & After:



GSC Before & After (she's a bushy one):



I could probably take it a bit farther, but don't want to push it, and I want to leave some lower growth for re-veg. I also left some of that growth in the middle because the canopies are a bit open there, and figured if it's getting light, I may as well leave some leaves.

Not too bad there man happy weekend.

Thanks, homie.

We're about 3 weeks since the flip. And about 10 days since showing fem.

SB is looking good.



GSC is looking like either there's a deficiency or some wind burn going on. Some of the damage is from me manhandling it (the brown spots). But the mottled part is something else. Had been giving Cal/Mag, but skipped it last watering. Added 1/2 dose of GH Flora Micro when I watered on Sunday. Leaves effected all seem to be on the fan side. So I moved the fan up. Haven't seen signs of any bugs except a couple of Box Elder bugs, which I hate, but are supposed to be harmless, and a common house fly.

Two days on, and the deficiency in the GSC has progressed.
I'm treating it as a Cal deficiency. Did a foliiar spray yesterday. Posted in "Plant Problems" thread today, but no response yet.
Today was watering day, so I did 1/2 dose of AN bloom and a full dose of CalMag and Flora Micro, PHed to 6.2 for both plants.

Should have flushed and measured run off, but spaced it out. Other than the effected leaves, the GSC is looking good this afternoon, perked up and looking otherwise healthy. Hopefully I have this under control.
Temps in the attic are getting close to being a problem, and the weather is supposed to warm up. Luckily i should have some time to finally make the move.

GSC:


SB is starting to turn a bit purple on some of the main stems, and starting to stack flowers:

Every day is with better looking there. happy growing.
