growinggold Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Hello All, I hope you're all well and the mother nature is smiling on you. Here is couple of pictures straight from the grow tent door unzip, lights still a little low on ratchets. You can see how the ladies have kept on reaching and are almost touching the LEDs now. Oh and this is Do Sweet Do's lady that flopped out the door trying to make a break for it. She no like lockdown. I don't blame her. Real beauty of a gal. Beautiful and dark. Grow Day:61 - 29.01.21 Flower Week 5- Flower Day 29 I will start by including a copy of the activity schedule as it explains my method on grow day, flower week ect. I'm not sure if this is how the breeders or others measure flower weeks. Ive measured from flip this run. Do Sweet Do's and Mohan Ram Ice Cool in the back and Sweet Zkittlez out front. There has been a few issues on my visits to the shed. On the 28th Jan to fill the water/feed tank I noticed it was really low. I filled it back with room temperature rain water and checked the grow space. Lo and behold the tank had emptied it self into the plastic garland tray the 6 sweet ladies are sitting in. I quickly grabbed the largest syringe to hand and sucked up all the excess water/feed, I will throw this away. I'm not to sure what has caused this, it could be fault dripper and excess pressure on tank from over filling and putting the lid back on. either way ive checked all the dripper and not filled the tank so full. I use around a 15/20l Wham plastic water box as tank, as this allows me around 24/48 feed respite window. I could use a larger tank and no have to fill the tank up so often and visit the shed even less. However the risk of that ism if there is an issue the tank dumps it load the garland tray will over fill and flood the tent, possible ruining the root it heat mat below the tray. All sucked up and hopefully no root rot. I also added a new fan and the black clip on one was on its last legs. These are very much a make do and mend. I will try and look to add another fan down low to keep airflow. Group ShotsPositions as below.

Ive had to remove the ratchets and fix the non heat sink part of the LED to tent frames at the top with cable ties. I wouldn't recommend this long term as as the cable tie will perish. This has give me another 4" of space and you can see from the pictures it looks better so hopefully its little easier on the plants. Over the coming week I will also turn the watts up on each LED again. The closest and plant to light is now only 8" away.

Shumroom Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Looking good so far mate, hopefully that's the stretch period over now and it's about time to start beefing up. Hopefully you got rid of the excess water before they came to any harm Atb 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Badgeley Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 @growinggold. I see what you mean about getting squat plants? Tall ladies eh? The Do Sweet Dos is a lovely plant to grow, smells bang on. Next time try fimming and keep to smaller pots. What are yours in? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growinggold Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 @Larry Badgeley yeah buddy I got some right lanky ladies. Their all in 6.5l square plastic pots. I topped three of them and they turned out the tallest. Jack 47, Do Sweet Do's and Sweet Zkittlez. What pot size are yours? It's all part the fun trying to grow 6 different strains. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Badgeley Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 @growinggold. 8ltr fabrics. I used to use 6.5 ltr squares but changed it this time. Yes 6 different strains. Hope they finish at the same time as you may have to get the box out Fimming keeps them stocky 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notorious B.U.D Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Coming along nicely @growinggold good job the stretch seems to have stopped now before you ran out of headroom mate. The stink is on the way... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 your flooding issues could have been down to the pump syphoning. not sure how you have set up your drippers though, so dont want to say for sure thats what it is. plants are looking good though, despite thier little swim 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growinggold Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Thanks for popping by @badbillybob so my tropf blumats are gravity feed, so when the plants pot moisture level drops it calls for more and dripper opens.. hopefully it was a one off and now the caps have been tightened a little and resi not over filled we should be okay. I hope. Cheers bro keen to get them over the finish line now. Best be patient. Edited February 2, 2021 by growinggold 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdog Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 looking tip top mate, they are pumping out the pistils now! lovely and healthy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadenugs Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Looking beaut in here mate, nice growing. that Do-Sweet-Dos looks to be putting some nice frost on As you know dude I'll be setting my blumats up for the first time soon so I've no experience. Just a thought though, maybe the drop in pressure when your res was nearly empty could have caused your feeding tubes to be unfull with a lack of usual pressure in the narrow bit where the screw caps are tightened down, allowing the fluid to run through? Dunno, just a thought cos it seems strange you've not had a problem before the res got low. Not got a clue though, just food for thought 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
