Apple Fritter & Rainbow Sherbet in scrOG

Jacks_Pot I marked 18/08 as the first day of growth. The lights are still the COBs, hung at a height of 41 cm and running at 60 watts. This provided a DLI of 17.6 / PPFD 272. It stayed like this the entire week. On day 4, I set the thermostat of the heating mat to 22°C. They didn’t get much water yet. On days 4 and 6, I gave each of them 35 ml of tap water containing CannaStart and Rhizotonic (EC 1.03 – pH 6.0 – 22.5°C). On the last day of this week, I could already see roots showing at the bottom of the pots.

Jacks_Pot The little ones made good progress, and by day 13 I was able to transplant them. The 14-liter airpots were filled with "DCM vegetable and herb" potting soil, which was watered with Rhizotonic and nematodes against fungus gnats. The small heating mat was replaced with the larger one. That same day, I also hung the second COB in the tent. Together they provided 140 watts at a distance of 45 cm. DLI 27.5 / PPFD 424. Their feeding schedule looked like this: Day 8 → Dry Day 9 → To 400 ml tap water, I added 1.5 ml Fishforce, 0.10 ml Silic Rock, and 0.10 ml CalMag (EC 1.14 – pH 6.0 – 25°C). Each plant received 35 ml of this mix. Day 10 → The remainder of day 9’s mix, each 35 ml. Day 11 → Dry Day 12 → Dry Day 13 → To 400 ml tap water, I added 0.3 ml Power Roots, 0.3 ml Pure Zym, 0.3 ml Terra Grow, 0.3 ml Sugar Royal, and 0.10 ml CalMag (EC 1.27 – pH 6.1 – 20.5°C). Each plant received 40 ml of this mix. Day 14 → Dry On day 12, they also received their first foliar spray with Vita Race (0.5 ml / 250 ml).

Jacks_Pot No issues or setbacks after transplanting. On day 19, I removed the cotyledons and single-finger leaves, and the 4 lowest shoots were pruned. On day 21, both Rainbow Sherbets were topped. I’ll keep 6 main shoots per plant to scrog. The Apple Fritters had to wait a little longer. This is what I gave them this week: Day 15 → To 2500 ml tap water, I added 10 ml Fishforce, 0.5 ml Silic Rock, and 0.5 ml CalMag (EC 1.37 – pH 6.3 – 23.4°C). Each plant received 600 ml of this mix. Day 16 → Dry Day 17 → To 2000 ml, I added 1.5 ml Power Roots, 1.5 ml Pure Zym, 3.5 ml Terra Grow, and 1.5 ml Sugar Royal (EC 1.32 – pH 6.1 – 23°C). Each plant received 500 ml of this mix. Day 18 → Dry Day 19 → To 2500 ml tap water, I added 2 ml Power Roots, 2 ml Pure Zym, 3.5 ml Terra Grow, 2 ml Sugar Royal, 0.20 ml Silic Rock, and 0.20 ml CalMag (EC 1.32 – pH 6.0 – 22.3°C). Each plant received 600 ml of this mix. Day 20 → Dry Day 21 → Same as day 19. On day 18, they received their second foliar spray with Vita Race (0.5 ml / 150 ml). The COBs kept running at 140 watts and stayed at a distance of 45 cm. DLI 27.5 / PPFD 424.

Jacks_Pot The plants are coming along nicely and seem to be thriving. On day 23 I also topped the Apple Fritters and placed a tower fan in the tent. On day 25 I removed the lower 3-fingered leaves, and the next day the scROG net was installed. Just one more week at 18/6 and then I’ll switch to 12/12. This is what I gave them this week: Day 22 → Dry Day 23 → To 2500 ml of tap water I added 14 ml Fishforce, 0.5 ml Silic Rock, and 0.5 ml CalMag (EC 1.46 – pH 6.1 – 23°C). Each plant received 600 ml. Day 24 → Dry Day 25 → To 2500 ml of tap water I added 2 ml Power Roots, 2 ml Pure Zym, 4.5 ml Terra Grow, 2 ml Sugar Royal, 0.5 ml Silic Rock, and 0.5 ml CalMag (EC 1.57 – pH 6.0 – 21.4°C). Each plant got 600 ml. Day 26 → Same as day 25 Day 27 → Dry Day 28 → To 2500 ml of tap water I added 4.5 ml Terra Grow, 0.5 ml Silic Rock, and 0.5 ml CalMag (EC 1.47 – pH 6.1 – 20.5°C). Each plant got 600 ml. On day 25 they got a foliar spray with Vita Race and on day 28 with CannaCure. The wattage of the COBs was increased to 160 watts at 45 cm. This resulted in a DLI of 33 / PPFD 525. Temperatures fluctuated between 21.7 – 26 °C, and humidity stayed between 44 – 75 %.

Jacks_Pot This was the last week on 18/6. Starting tomorrow, they will switch to 12/12. On day 29, a bit of defoliation was done and I removed the lower 5-fingered leaves. On day 32 and 35, I also removed a few large fan leaves here and there, and some leaves under the screen disappeared as well. The ScrOG screen will definitely fill up because it’s already more than half full. This is what I gave them this week: Day 29 → To 3000 ml of tap water I added 3 ml Power Roots, 3 ml Pure Zym, 7 ml Terra Grow, 3 ml Sugar Royal, 0.75 ml Silic Rock, and 0.75 ml CalMag (EC 1.74 – pH 6.2 – 21.3°C). Each plant got 700 ml. Day 30 → The remainder of day 29, topped up with tap water and FishForce (18 ml/3000 ml) (EC 1.54 – pH 6.1 – 20.5°C). Each 700 ml. Day 31 → Same as day 29 but with 1 ml Silic Rock and 1 ml CalMag (EC 1.86 – pH 6.3 – 20.8°C). Each 750 ml. Day 32 → To 3000 ml of tap water I added 7 ml Terra Grow (EC 1.58 – pH 6.2 – 21.4°C).

Each plant got 850 ml. On day 31 they got a foliar spray with Vita Race (1 ml/250 ml) and on day 35 they got one with CannaCure (45 ml/200 ml). The wattage of the COBs was increased to 180 watts at 45 cm. This resulted in a DLI of 40 / PPFD 617. Temperatures fluctuated between 21.4 – 25.8 °C and humidity stayed between 55 – 74%. C u next week! ✋
