1/13/24: Phenotype "A" defoliation to make way for the continual winding. I'm pacing this to my Gold Leaf grows. Which is painstakingly slow in comparison (heard this changes during flower). "A"'s inner growth is transforming nicely 👌. Counting 10 branches + top so far.
Phenotype "B" I'm just furthering out basic LST. My goal here is to try to tame it while "A" get caught back up, which shouldn'tbe long at all 🤞. "B" is definitely my go getter at this stage (minus the mystery strain I just topped that's rocking them all).
Another handful of wiggle worm castings for the top soil. Also, I forgot to mention I planted some White Dutch Clovers as a companion a few days ago. They're starting to pop up as well. Better late than never.
1/14/24: Nothing major pretty boring and cold day. Expecting spike in this months utilities due to the sub-freezing temperatures that are supposed to last throughout the week.
That's Ohio! Collecting rain last week, watching snow this and bunkering down the next.
Also MacGyver'd a permanent fix for the CO2 line which turned out really well. Next grow I plan on investing in a CO2 controller. Until then I'm guesstimating based on bubble rates and volume all controlled through the 69 pro +.
At this point, I feel confidence building and everything is automated very nicely. Got bell curves with trigger points, sunrise/sunset, humidifier that's spot on. Now isn't the time for complacency though... still got hurdles to jump through that's for sure.
1/16/24: Lowered Lights to 36" (-12") & continuing out LST on "B".
1/17/24: Basins filled, These will be the ast good pics of the week as I'll be away for a few days. Final spot with a 5 Gal pot (FFOF:WiggleWorm:Perlite / 4:1:1). I plan on working bat guano, blood & bone meal into the top soil upon my return next week.
1/18/24: Separation anxiety starting to set in 🤣😩. My first 24 away!
@OhioriverHomestead, Nice Bro!
I'm running the Samsung LM301B LED that came with the tent w/ S11 IONBEAM Bars as supplemental lighting on the sides.
Come flower I'll be utilizing the the IONBEAM U4 Targeted spectrum as well.
