This will be a short journal or a "Holy Fuck!" journal.
I'm betting on a short one but here it goes.
I just harvested a Blue Mystic that went hermaphrodite and a beautiful but severely stunted Kaya Gold.
The Kaya was cut off at the soil so there's no saving that. The Blue Mystic was cut off by the branches with some leaf and bud fluff left on.
I figured I would switch out my lights, change the light schedule, clean out the tent and start feeding it veg nutes again.
The plant has just undergone 7 days of darkness, no water and massive temperature swings. It is horrific shape and I'm going to try to nurse it back to health.
You might be asking, "Why is he doing this?"
Well, I need to know if I can stabilize the temperature in my porch and figure out how to manage humidity. I'm hoping that the plant will act like a canary in a coal mine. If I can see improvements, it means I'm doing things right. If I see a decline, I may not have an environment that can support plant life during winter.
This is the plant right after chop. A sad little thing on its way out.
Wanna see a more recent pic? Now don't think it got better. It got much, MUCH worse.
Well...
This sad, trash plant is my canary.
So far it has gotten 1 gallon of Cal/mg water. Today it gets fed the first round of veg nutes so we'll see how that goes.
500w of MH HID
2x4 tent
Feeding today will be Bloodmeal, Fish Emulsion, Cal/Mg, Liquid Kelp, EWC. Solids will be top dressed first and liquids will be added to a gallon of water and pH'd to 6.2 to water everything in. I might add a second gallon of water to really get the nutes to the bottom of the pail.
I think that should cover the transition phase. The plant is 160 days old and rough as hell. It might get better or it might get worse. As long as I can keep the temps below 30°C (80°F) and above 15°C (60°F)
The goal is a humidity of 45%
