Friday update
Veg: Mazar is coming along. I put the coco pot in the 5 gal pot too soon and the water was just not drying fast enough with the small light in there. Temp and humidity are doing well and I'm looking forward to swapping out the light next week to the next size up. Steady as she goes.
Flower: Cookies and Cream is responding well to the new home, really well I think. It looks like my buddy topped her once and didn't do any other trimming or pruning so I removed all of the lower bud sites and long stringy shoots that were not reaching the top canopy. I'm left with 8 main tops with several shoots off of each near the top. I expect to have a dense forest here soon. Temp and humidity are also on point and my CO2 is staying in the 700-1100 range. I have the light cranked to about 85% and im about 10" from the main canopy, one shoot is 8" but im not going to worry I want tk see if this produces any light damage as I am in full on test mode.

My buddy lent me his fancy pants light meter and I'm collecting data this weekend to see how efficient the light is that I have for flower.

More fun to come so stay tuned!!

I also started 2 grow diaries on growdiaries.com as they have nifty tools for tracking progress. Im hoping to be OCD with my reporting there but we shall see if the ADHD let's me haha!

Swapped lights in veg to the 4 arm version. Things are holding nice and steady in both chambers. Feeding is now in check as the grow diaries are really helping me track every last detail. I still need to collect runoff and test the pH. Did a quick defoliation on the Cookies and Cream to expose the bud sites and lopped off a popcorn stick that I missed. I think the box itself might be pretty damn close to ideal! At least inside a home with mild conditions (69*F, 50% RH).

Building a 3x3x7.5 for a friend! Stay tuned and follow along :D

Week 2 of testing the new cabinet almost complete. This thing is kicking ass and taking names! The little domes are working out great for the veg seedling. Environmentals looking solid and better every day as I fine tune it just a bit.

The Cookies and Cream is really packing on the buds, so stoked for that to finish!

NPK RAW nutes have started to trickle in. I will finish out the cookies using my current combo of nutes but im going to run the Mazar on RAW starting this weekend.

Big day!

In veg; first day of NPK RAW, going to do week 1&2 nutes today then week 3 nutes in the next feeding. She is growing fast!

There is a bit of discoloration on the leaves, from dark in the middle to a bit lighter outside on the edges. Hoping new nutes help bring it back.

First RAW feeding:
1L Distilled Water
1G Grow
0.15G B-Vitamin
1G Microbes Grow
0.06G Enzymes
6.0pH
582ppm
70.9*F

In hindsight I should have dropped a bit of calmag in the mix due to the slight discoloration bit she will get that next feeding.

In flower; start of week 5 and final defoliation completed, maybe a bit late but I feel it had to be done. Feeding tomorrow as the soil meter is already showing thirsty.

Dome off in veg as she's now at 3 nodes and nearing the first topping. Probably end of the week after the next feeding.

Flower lady is responding well to the trim. Perky leaves and she looks happy. Fed her today. Next watering will be flush.

And I finally got around to cutting the panels for the 3x3x8' build! So stoked to get that done, the rest is easy!! Well till the doors need cutting! hahaha

Steady as they grow! Both ladies are happy and healthy. I sprayed some cal mag water on the girl in veg and she responded well. Mains are growing well after the topping. I'm cheating and keeping the 2 shoots from the second node around for 4 tops now. May try for 32 tops on this one if I can manage it although I can't imagine 32 fat colas packed into a 2x2' space

Cal mag spray did the trick on the girl in veg. Second RAW feeding today for her too. 1 Gal feeding for girl in flower. Hairs everywhere and some are turning orange. Removed a small handful of fan leaves from the middle areas blocking bud sites. Removed 2 shoots from the first node on girl in veg, she is bushing up nicely, 4 mains are growing in a nice tight formation. Pushing for 32 tops but we shall see!!!

All details in the diaries

Steady as they grow! Happy New Years everyone! Did a bit of training on the Mazar lady, removed some new shoots from node 2 branches, tied them down to start the manifold.

A day of defeat...I completely broke off one of my mains on the Mazar trying to train her after a feeding. I gotta stop overstressing these ladies :( I dropped the branch into rockwool and into the soil right about where she would have been in formation. We shall see if that pulls through. My girl in flower is looking awesome. Can't wait for that harvest! Switching to RAW nutes for her next feeding.
