ViparSpectra KS3000 - 5x5 Solo Cup run #2

[Observer]

Some leggy bitches.


Should not happen next time unless power goes out


I do like the 100% Vermiculite.

It does dry out over night.

Peppers ripening.

Yeah day 21 or whenever stretch stops. you want to time it right because if you're a day too early or day too late, you'll completely stall any growth for like a week. it's weird. The plants will literally freeze in time it seems.

I skipped that defoliation and now there's a jungle in my tent. Gonna have a lot to trim off when I chop her down in the morning.

Before stripping/defol/cleaning

Removing any -
Unhealthy leaves (not the right shade, discolored)
covering branches
ingrown leaves (towards inner-canopy)

 

[Observer]

And after the "clean"

 

[Observer]

Deleted scene defoliated again/cleaned

Also think it reduces the plants oxygen needs, temporarily.

So more oxygen to around is how I see it

 

[Observer]

And after the "clean"

Like how it ended up a rectangle shape canopy.

Should flower nicely.



Interestingly... it's in the corner of the 2x4, making a L rectangle shape to grow in...

These things sense their environment well.
The roots do it too

 

[Observer]

i create a bunch of "knots" in my branches too to try and help support the "Weight"

 

[Observer]

Growin' Somewhere

 

[Observer]

Growin back fast

Defoliated again a little here and there between

Are you super cropping to make those knots?

 

[Observer]

Are you super cropping to make those knots?

Yea
I always bend the branches or squeeze stalks

 

[Observer]

Going to a growstore for that green tax.

Gonna see if I can get a bluelab, and a discount.

Get some rock wool cubes maybe for next grow

And few grow supplies

Got it for 92$+ plus tax

Same price on Amazon.

 

[Observer]

48~ hours

Fucked the last one with improper solution parameters.

pH - out of whack
Ppm too much/out of balance
Sterile elements too much
For a seedling anyways.

Trying again this way

 

[Observer]

Bluelab pH pen is "hydrating" apparently it needs to soak in kci for 24hours.

Little disappointing it's not calibrated out the box, but I figured as much, it seemed to be reporting more acidic than the Phenol red color test.

hoping after this 24hoursoak and i attempt to calibrate, do it properly, and it'll read 99% accurate.

Crazy how fast these plants bounce back, find my self removing leafs every few nights.

Still trying to get my solution 100% perfect.
Now I need a cheap ppmeter, then I want to get a DO probe with ORP value.

Need to get more 34%

/Notes

 

[Observer]

Trying this JRCROPTECH Bloom, and supposedly I'm still supposed to use 15-0-0.

Mixed up a 1.4ec/700ppm+whatever my tap water is----gallon batch
3g bloom/0-21-26
1.4g 15-0-0

Apparently don't need to add anymore epsom and the 0-21-26 includes 5~% magnesium so may be enough, I think this (JRCROPTECH) formula is formulated under LEDs, not sure.

pH at 5.8-5.9 according to the blueLab Pen after 24hour kci soak and 2pt.-calibration at 7ph and 4ph.

77f water
82-86f ambient temp
77-82LSTemp
50-68% RH




This is one thick & dense SOB

Some are getting frosty, and some damn good smells.



A "real" grow coming up, lol.


420 solo cup grow will happen at some point, depends when I can get everything I need to pull it off properly.

Will more than likely happen at this place though.

 

[Observer]

Now I'm going to mix a 1.5ec/750ppm for veg
5.7ph
9-17-28
15-0-0

 

[Observer]

Going to get a cheap ppm meter again for now

And I should be pretty dialed as close as I can get for meow

 

[Observer]

Just dont have calcium chloride for the flower batch. So to keep that in mind on how that mixes and affects the ppm/EC but very small amounts are used anyways so I may be fine without it.

quick protip. keep that pH pen vertical, and wet. the probe doesn't tolerate being horizontal nor dry for long, at all. sure you know the wet part, but vertical is the way my guy.

glad to see you posting, was wondering where you went!

Sup man, I've just been chillin and maintaining.
Was waiting for some progress before I posted again, got the pen so hope my pH problems are a thing of the passed now.

Doing ph5.5-5.7 for veg
Ph5.7-5.9-flower

I have this thought that the more mature a plant is (to a degree) , it doesnt like it as acidic(?), Or doesn't need to be as acidic(?)

got our settlement money, trying to spend it wisely and thinking about ways of turning it into more, it's not much just a few thousand but maybe something to start to "put the money to work"

And get things to make this place more of functionally convenient home.

thanks sir.

I was just thinking about that a few hours ago and figured it made sense to hang it since KCI is supposed to be in the cap.

So thanks for confirming that I'll keep it vertical when I'm using it too.

Love how it's waterproof, feels good too.

 

[Observer]

Just wanting to get this grow done and start over with no issues.

Not as yellow as the light appears but yeah I think I need to increase my 15-0-0 a little more I was doing 1.5grams going back up to 2grams if not 2.5grams 15-0-0

 

[Observer]

Aight later

 

[Observer]

Time to clean her up again already.

I ain't getting sleep for shit

Baby woke up.

Made her breakfast that she is now playing with.

 

[SSgrower]

[Observer]

"cleaned" up a little.

.....few nights later

Always lost in that sick kick ass lab.
