20250528: Flower Day 58

Turned the lights down the other night. 75% for the Photontek worked out to about 375 LUX so I matched the others up to that.

Final feed mix before just water.

12ml 0:6:6 Bloom
1 gram Epsom

Zen 2: 1x3


Going to get him to strip the remaining fam leaves under the nets between now and the weekend.

I think the smaller pots and too many dry backs mucked up his grow. Mine in the 1x3 is a clone of his about two week’s younger. The 1x3 only has a small clip fan and two mesh vents for passive airflow. Both SCROGs had much better and easier to control environments. His plants just failed to bulk up properly. My best guess at the moment is the pot size and dry backs.

Planted mist of the vegetable garden yesterday. Only one tomato plant survived the cold and popped. All the peppers made it. I’m starting new tomatoes today/tomorrow.


Planted the spinach and Roma tomato last night but have the mint and sunflower to do still. Both will go in part of the gardens.


Supposed to rain today and half the next week, but only amount to about 15mm.

A lot of people seem to be tired and sore. Myself included. A small amount of nausea as well. Wife home sick and she’s not one to take a day off unless really ill.

Enjoy your day people.

Buds look great man.
Hope you all get to feeling better soon.

I was fine at the docs yesterday. Today I think it’s spreading to me. I have to go back to do bloodwork so I hope not.

Thanks, he’s happy as it’s his first. (We all remember our first ) I’m just glad I can flower okay in the 1x3. I wasn’t sure I could with just the vents and a fan the size of my fist.

Son stepped up and we did the final defoliation last night. The back corners could you a bit more but his nodes are tight and it’s hard to get in there.

He’ll know better for next time. We left the larf as he paid for it with less growth up top. He likes hash anyway.

I did a bit on mine as well, just to open up a bit more. More air flow.

Got some great garden seeds from @stonemason i do smaller seeds in the VG Stoney sent me but large ones I do differently.

This time I tried the new round germination box. Mammoth Sunflower and Sugar Baby Watermelon seeds. Roots in under 48hrs.



I’ll see if I can plant them tomorrow. Want longer roots first.

Son was able to print the corner brackets to prevent the fans from breaking. First two tries failed so he used his Steamdeck to mod the file and add better supports. It’s also 4% smaller.

Busy day. Still raining the last two days too.
