Week Five
we are in Week Five. I labeled the Plants from the random flowers I saved and popped, before any Seeds arrived.
We have RNG 1#, which is the only one with purple stems, I guess its the genetics. no sex yet. growing fast. did some LST to spread out the branches.
RNG 2# is the bushy one in the middle. no sex yet. I deleafed a bit and bent the main 2 stem from the top to the sides, so every sidebranch get light to grow up.
RNG 3# is the first to show sex. it a female, so im very happy. she is the slowest of the 3 RNG, but I wish all are slower like her. also to some LST to spread the branches.
The fastbuds try to catch up, but they are not there yet. I guess the push up till the end of this week. few cm to go. you can see some differences.
so all in all, I think everything is still fine, the RNG 2# has burned tips, I guess from bad watering and buildup. I tried to better my watering. leafs looking fine and the growth is still nice. LST is going fine to aside from one mishap with RNG 1#. when re-adjusting I broke the main stem =( no big deal for me, because we have to wait till the fastbuds catched up. they are in week 3 now and they will start to explode soon (I hope).
in this week I deleafed where the fan-leafs were blocking new growth and in the lower parts of the plants. its early for this, but I only have a small monkey fan and I want good air movement inside the plants.
i pulled the light up to 50cm distance and put it on 70%. I plan to reduce the light cycle to 16/8 and up to 75-80% power soon and flip to flower as soon as possible.
I did a light feeding with the 5:2:5 organic nutrients once, 1 liter divided to all plants, just to keep the soil alive. at the weekend I did a good watering and really take care the plants are watered right, did way too less watering in the beginning. then I corrected it by watering from below. after waiting 1 or 2 days, I did the right watering and now I wait till the soil dried up a bit. the uptake from the plants are very different, so it makes it hard for me to do it right as I am a beginner in growing. plan to get autopots in the future =)
thanks for reading till the end and checking out my grow.
@DrGreenfinger, ja! Es wird langsam, habe inzwischen bei der RNG 2# weibliche vorblüten gefunden. Bleibt eine. Gehe jetzt vllt früh auf 12/12 weil 6 stk im Zelt doch etwas eng wird falls die stark in die Höhe gehen. Topfe werden irgendwann auch zu klein. Werd daher noch warten.
Goodluck with your first grow..my first grow was a bag seed as well .. hopefully you get a female..definitely pop a fee so you get atleast 1 .. Goodluck and happy growing..if you have any questions just ask .. ✌️
@Hempface86, thank you ! I just could not wait for my seed order, still waiting for some. I knew the seed are from good flowers, so I hope for some good results, also hope for females. not sure, but as far as I know the seeds probably came from hermies. so maybe a high chance for females? also don't know if they are autos or photos.
