2nd grow - mars 300w - oxypot XL DWC SCROG- 1x1x2 kit from grow genius UK

the seedling is 1 foot tall on it's own, good luck with getting a grow in a 1 foot tent!

 

wow! I guess it is true, I think I have seen pictures of a pc case grow.

must be hard work but a lot less hassle than my 1x1x2 tent taking up so much room in my bedroom

I like having the space though

 

Wow that's amazing!

I think one of those will be really good fun to do

I may even try to do something with the PC case and the Mars 300

I wonder if I can do it if I chop off all the sun leaves and just have the main Cola like you say, that might be a fun experiment to do if I have a spare light!

seed 1 day 35
leaves?
seed 2 day 25
roots

Plants are good, a bit discoloured on the leaves of seed 1 but all is ok I think. I plan on diluting the reservoir with ph 4 water when it gets some room (an inch below the warning sticker will fit 5L)



ph 5.7 (+0.2)
ppm 615 (+136) anomaly from yesterday
Ec 1235 (+14)

 

seed 1 day 36
taller
seed 2 day 26
fresh

Both plants look good this morning. I twisted the net pot of seed 2 so the leaves don't overlap seed 1's leaves. It's hard to imagine it getting spread over the scrog, I'll have to look up some grow journals that use a scrog and see what the first actions are. Should be weaving soon, is it just a case of weaving so that all bud sights are at a similar level?



I took some photos with the flash on so I can catch the top leaves. Seed 2 is getting some sweet new shoots.



ph 5.6 (-0.1)
ppm 600 (-15)
Ec 1200 (-35)

 

gotcha mate thanks!, I will just keep adding water when it needs it and not add any nutes. I will probably get a good grow out of the next one! this one is doing better than the previous though

in fact, considering getting a longer and smaller tent for a move around in my room.

turns out that an oxypotXL and 1x1x2 tent was a little too much for what I wanted.

its all good, I've been stoned for weeks on my first grow already

 

seed 1 day 37
tall
seed 2 day 27
weak?

I can see the plants growing but they seem weaker than the previous grow at this point



this is the previous grow at 37 days


Seed 1 leaves look like they're starting to flower already


Still not enough room for water to be added to the reservoir yet. I hope they will get through the next few weeks!

Ph hasn't been rising as much as I remember it doing previously, pretty much stayed at the sam level +/- 0.2

It's still only the 6th week though

The purple bud page says

So it's possible that it has moved on to the flowering stage. Maybe I should start with the LED light next time like I did before. It kept the seed shorter but fatter.

Ph 5.5 (-0.1)
ppm 614 (+14)
Ec 1221 (+21)

 

seed 1 day 38
taller
seed 2 day 28
Bend

Both plants look like they have grown, still looking less substantial than the last grow in terms of amount of leaves. Seed 2 is growing with a bend, probably due to the scrog which I'm thinking I wont need to use.



I do think this is due to the seedlings growing tall early, that was due to the light being far away and they were reaching. I saw some example LED distances posted somewhere so I'm going to try that next time although these aren't set in stone measurements, I think put it as close as it will go without bleaching the leaves. Only worry about the germination.

The distance between the branch growths is different between plants. I feel it is has more distance than the previous grow at this stage. Possibility is that I'm using much more air this time around, I didn't turn up the air until this day in the growth last time.



Previous grow at 38 days

It's much bushier, I did the first little seedling part in the propagator under a cover with a piece of paper on top to stop the LED's from being too bright for the seedling. Perhaps that is why they grew more as shorter plants before?

Perhaps the plants can recover from their nute overdosing and light discrepancies and produce an ounce or two. Still over half way to go so I'm not too worried. Looking at my last grow journal, I can see that the ph and Ec weren't changing that much until after day 40.

Ph 5.5 (+0)
ppm 583 (-31)
Ec 1189 (-32)

 

seed 1 day 39
scrawny
seed 2 day 29
Bendy

Plants are growing but looking a little like they didn't do legs day at the gym! much less leaf growth on these compared to the last



I removed the scrog but put it back because I could use some ties to spread the leaves out.



seed 2 started bending under it's own weight so I used ties on that too.

Still not using as much water as last time, probably due to less leaf growth. I'm certain it was because of the rapid growth early on, it thinned out the stalk to be able to hold the leaves.

Definitely going with a LED at 24" over germinating cubes next time. Perhaps even in a warming tray seeing as that worked so well last time.

Ph 5.5 (+0)
ppm 610 (+27)
Ec 1221 (+32)

 

seed 1 day 40
still there
seed 2 day 30
adjust

Plants look like nothing extra to worry about since using ties to spread the branches out so no leaves get in the shade. Still looking a little scrawny though.

I added a teensy bit of PhUp and it has raised it from 5.5 to 5.7 which I'm happy with.



Ph 5.7 (+0.2)
ppm 609 (-1)
Ec 1217 (-4)

 

calm yer tits mate!, as I said before, I'll add water when theres room! Probably tomorrow

seriously though , i'll swap some out with regular water later

 

okey dokey!

swapped out 15L of water with regular tap water in order to reduce the ppm as Spanish@rcher says.

it's at 500 ish now, the first grow was at 750 and grew to be a monster but the discolouration on the leaves that isn't bleaching is a sign

had that on the first grow too.

I'll see how it performs over the coming days and if @rcher is gonna say ,"I told you so!" lol
