G13 Round #2

[parkone]

Ok, after my first run ever I promised a journal so here goes. I'm a little late getting the journal started so here we are day #9
Lights=2 600w hps and 2 1000w Hps all Hortilux eye 18 on 6 off
Soil=Black Gold Organic
Plants=50 G13 clones, planted about 2 inches tall day #1

Environment contolled with Sentinel digital contoller, 80 degrees and 90% humidity during veg.

Day 1 thru 5 lights at full height, water everyday with B1 and Green Fuze root stimulator.

Day 6 thru current, dropped lights within 24 inches of tops, water every other day with Ionic Grow 1/2 strength, Green Fuze Root stimulator full strength, Green Fuze Grow concentrate 1/2 strength and Fossil Fuel full strength.


About 8-10 inches of growth already!

Day 9-14 Been feeding full strength with Ionic Grow, Green Fuze Grow Concentrate, Fossil Fuel and Green Fuze Root Stimulator. Things are looking great:hubba: Changed light schedule to 12/12 on day 15 and watered with full dose of Bushmaster 5ml per gallon. Goal is to keep height at 24-30 inches. Temps ranging from 74-81 degrees. Ph 6-6.5. Latest pics are from day 12...should have day 17 pics up tomorrow.

?, my plants directly under my lights are drying out way faster than the ones on the outskirts. Is it ok to rotate plants for consistent drying and feeding needs or will this stress them in any way?

Thanks in advance!

 

[gmo]

Yup, it is fine to move them around.

Day 17, After one dose of Bushmaster on day 15, back to full dose of Ionic Grow, GFuze Grow Concentrate, GFuze Root Stimulator and Fossil Fuel. These babies are way ahead of grow #1. I think the steady environment has a lot to do with it. Grow 1 I was experiencing huge temp/humidity swings. This enviroment contoller was money well spent. Going to introduce the bloom nutes on day 19. Great growth in the last few days. Enjoy the pics....

Day 19, Still getting some stretch after the dose of bushmaster. I am considering adding a small dose of bushmaster with my next batch of nutes. Also seem to have some curl to some leaves. Not many but visible in the solo plant pic, any thoughts? Overall seem to be very healthy though! Also have been told to raise lights to max height to reduce stretch, thoughts on that would also be appreciated.

Also have been told to raise lights to max height to reduce stretch,

This is wrong You want to lower the light until you just feel a bit of heat on the back of your hand. Stretch is the plant trying to get as much light as it can, so it grows towards the source. This gives a plant long internode spacing which reduces bud sites on your plant.

! Also have been told to raise lights to max height to reduce stretch, thoughts on that would also be appreciated.

I suggest you do not take anymore advice from this person...they don't know much about growing MJ...

 

[parkone]

Thanks guys...Glad I came here to ask first

Day 21, intoduced Bloom nutes today! Full doses Ionic Bloom, Green Fuze Bloom Concentrate, Green Fuze Root Stimulator and Fossil Fuel. Added just a touch, 2 ml per gallons of Bushmaster as well. The jungle is developing nicely.

 

[matt612346]

nice setup sir. how many fans you got blowing around?

 

[parkone]

I have two Vortex 10" 790cfms, one for intake and one for exhaust. Also a 16" wall mounted oscillating fan. Room is 12' x 8' x 8'

Day 24, We've got Buds! Still concerned about stretch, they're looking a little stalky so to speak. I wanted to keep them short and stubby. Gave them another little shot of Bushmaster, which will be the last since we've got flowers now. Going to start adding Ionic Boost to the mix from here on out. In a couple weeks Beastie Bloomz is going into the mix, then three weeks from harvest Gravity and Snowstorm. I know plants like higher humidity levels in veg, wondering when and how low to set the RH now that we are in flower stage? Should i leave the Rh up a bit until the buds develop a little farther? I really don't have a lot of experience to compare to other than my only other grow. What do you guys think so far?

 

[Locked]

Their not looking bad bro...a lil stretchy but nothing major...cld just be the strain. RH does not blip on my radar till it reaches 35-40%...

 

[nouvellechef]

Hmm, somehow missed this. Nice clean soil grow.

 

[parkone]

Just a quick update...Day 28, in full bloom! Added the Ionic Boost to my line up from now until the end. It's a booster of (P) and (K). Feeding now until about 3 weeks out will remain the same. Ionic Bloom 4tea/gal, Green Fuze Bloom Concentrate 1tea/30gal, Fossil Fuel 4tea/gal and Ionic Boost 3/4tea/gal. We're 14 days into flower so I'm hoping stretch is done. Chime in let me know how you think things are lookin

 

[tesla]

Looking good parkone. I am also growing G13, stretch is part of the genetics. Mine finished in 11 weeks and the were over 7 feet tall. Good luck

 

[nouvellechef]

Hmm. Where you at for lumens and air exchange? It looked right when I glanced. They do look a little stretchy. Why did you choose not to flower with a longer veg. Looks like you got plenty of room. Healthy all around.

 

[parkone]

Nouvel, thanks for checking in! I'm running with 480,000 lumens and my total room air is being exchanged 1.03 times per minute. The reason I don't veg longer is strictly height, I turned them at approximately two feet high.

 

[nouvellechef]

What you got left above the hoods to raise?
