I haven't dug too deep into the settings. I've only had a humidity trigger set during my first run.Other than turning the fan speeds up a couple of times as the plants got bigger and things got moister ...... I haven't really had to worry about my environments at all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried about it all but turns out I probably didn't actually need to spend another £200 but I am still excited.

iShouldCoCo Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) Oh hello! I am still here, the Seedstockers girls are still patiently vegging waiting for this Auto to finish... 63 days from seed to finish they say.... it's day 84 today and possibly another week to go I managed to get clones of all of the Seedstockers apart from Apollo Black Cherry - despite two attempts! I may have to build a bubble cloner... or try air layering! Some observations so far... Apollo Black Cherry - this has very interesting genetics. It's got three leaves and an extra side shoot for a start but it also looks sat leaning but is very very bushy, would be an absolute killer patio plant - very stealthy. Probably didn't need topping. Panty Punch - the most vigour, having to train it to stop it growing into the veg light. Also the thirstiest Mac and Crack - very tidy squat plant, very nice to look at! Satisfying that it didn't make one of the other 4 topped tips dominant unlike the other two strains. Side note - the OGKZ has leaves about twice the size of all the others.

iShouldCoCo Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 Right then, game on! Netted and flipped 3 days ago. Back left - Panty Punch, she's a beast. I am pretty sure she started flowering before flip! She's the biggest and most vigorous of the three Seedstockers ladies. Guest appearnace back right from OGKZ. Front right is the very tidy looking and compact growing Mac and Crack. Front left on the Tom Cruise stand is the shorty Apollo Black Cherry with whorled phyllotaxy. They are currently on Canna A+B 1.2 EC with regular cal/mag supplements under around 600-700 PPFD at ~40cm depending on where they are. They are in slightly too small a pot - I've never finished plants in pots this size before, but I didn't want monsters. Trouble is they're too thirsty to last lights out. I guess Auotpot or Bluemat Trompf is on the shopping list if I keep doing this. Next job is a good trim downstairs. Let me know if you spot anything awry. Tomorrow I pop the Seedstocker Auto seeds... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God yes, I don't seem to be able to resist doing multistrain grows in a teeny tent! The one after this will be from cuts of this grow. Hopefully I'll have whittled it down to two or one by then based on fondness. 17 hours ago, Shumroom said: What’s the tray you’ve got them in and what size is it? Atb Aha you spotted that, I was well chuffed to find that in the shed. I'll have a measure when lights are on, and try and get the not very memorable or pronounceable IKEA name for it. It's an under bed storage tub without the split lid. It fits nicely in an 80x80cm with room for a tube heater at one end, so I reckon 75x60cm or there abouts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Dilling under bed storage box It doesn’t look like IKEA sells them anymore, but I see them on other sites. It like it’s nice and strong. It might be a good solution for my Secret Jardin DR150W. Thanks very much Atb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iShouldCoCo Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share Posted June 14, 2023 Oh hello! I've been AWOL from the PC enjoying the weather, I hope you have been too. So things have moved on a bit since I last posted an update. I did take pics along the way but all that vegging and early flowering stage is boring so I'm not going to post them retrospectively here. Here's the ladies tonight (just noticed the shit focus sorry!): Top left - Panty Punch (def stretched during veg and autoflowered before 12/12 - it didn't move when flip and is waaay ahead of the others) Top right - OGKZ - different pheno than the last one I grew out, that looked more like PP in this grow - big fat chonky spheres. Frosty. It's the only one not on a stand. Very stretchy. Bottom right - Mac & Crack, being bullied by OGKZ for sure. This is still a tidy compact plant. Bottom left - Apollo Black Cherry - I didn't expect this diddy lady to come to much due to the whorled phylotaxy but it's putting out the frost. No idea if it will be true to form. Very sat leaning. Keeping things fairly tidy downstairs Clones of all apart from ABC (tried several cuts, all failed to root) are doing well Overall, and I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch and all that but so far this is a breeze of a grow. I am giving it a lot of my attention and am measuring everything apart from pH, the environment is pretty stable (very stable compared to in a loft!) and really am wondering how I managed to grow anything worth inhaling when I was doing it in the land of fibreglass. I am at the gasping stage when I open the tent.. "I grew these!" If I start detailing everything about the grow, I'll still be on here typing tomorrow but if you want to know anything other than the raw data, ask away! Since flip: PPFD max 1000 (OGKZ ffs) average 800 VPD avg0.96 (now at 1.2) Max temp 30c Min temp 21c Avg temp 25.c Max humidity 66% Min humidity 44% Avg humidity 58% (aiming for 57% currently) 1.2 EC Canna A+B (I pushed it to 1.4 but backed off again) Ad hoc CalMag dosing Water temp ~20c It's nearly time for frosty budshots! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iShouldCoCo Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 I took a few phone snaps of the developing buds for you... Apollo Black Cherry: Mac and Crack: OGKZ: Panty Punch (a couple of weeks ahead of the others!): 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iShouldCoCo Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Oh no! The little under the canopy fan died a couple of days ago, I ordered a new chonky 8" Honeywell and while I was swapping the 6" with the new one, I noticed some yellow leaves at the top of a Panty Punch bud NOOOOOOOO It got top heavy and was leaning against something so a combination of that and the lack of fan probably provided the perfect micro environment for botrytis. I cut that bud off and also took a few others that looked a bit to close to other stuff. I also have the intake duct sat on top of a dehumidifier exhaust so 45% RH going in. I've reduced the humidity trigger to 55% so the extraction has picked up. There's also a very decent breeze going. I am going to keep a VERY close eye on the Panty Punch buds as I switch to flushing and intend to try and reduce the RH even more as the other three start to fatten up. Trichs on the Panty Punch are mostly cloudy but very few ambers on flowers. Rather racy than composted though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustybiff Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Fuuuuucks sake I'd chop the panty punch now and get it out of there.. I took mine with no ambers and it still sends me off to kip. Looks like the same pheno anyway! Great shot of the buds though, hopefully you get away with it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought I'd manage to avoid the rot this time around but it seems that's something I really need to work on. Multistrain with different canopies is a PITA to manage also with different plants needing different lighting due to different stretch, bud density, stronger/weaker nutes and at different stages of flowering... the main PITA is the net not supporting the heavier buds! Next grow eh... I want to run a clone or two of this grow but only one cultivar with an nice even canopy.... Oh! I shall go check out your PP grow right away.. .thanks for dropping by marra 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustybiff Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Man that is a nightmare.. I know what you mean about the multistrain grows.. i'm at a point where I want to grow as many strains as possible to find keepers, but what a ballache! Something I did with the air movement issue is to buy two USB pc fans that are daisy chained (the ac infinity ones, or is it eluteng you use @MindSoup?).. you can suspend them in the canopy for some gentle air movement We'll get an even canopy one day marra nice to touch base with you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
