đșđžWeek 3đșđž â Growth Explosion & First Training
Back again for this weekâs update! The Mother Gorilla is going crazyâsheâs growing at an insane pace, and honestly, I couldnât be happier. The plant is super strong, and the leaves are just massive. Some are reaching up to 21 cm long, which is wild. I donât think Iâve ever seen that before.
And honestly, I have to sayâIâm seriously impressed by Formulex from Growth Technology. Iâve been using the same nutrient solution since the start, and the results are just insane. Itâs such a simple product, but what itâs delivering so far is absolutely incredible. Iâll be switching to growth fertilizers soon (theyâre on the way), but for now, Iâm sticking with Formulex, and itâs honestly blowing my mind.
Environmental Conditions
Not much has changed on that front. The environment is still dialed in:
⹠Temperature: ~22-23°C during the day, 18°C at night.
⹠Nutrient solution temp: Holding steady at 17-18°C.
âą pH levels: Hovering around 5.8-6.0âhad to adjust it slightly during the week, but nothing major. Itâs stable overall.
âą VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit): Still around 0.6, which seems to be working well. As long as it stays below 0.8, I think weâre in the sweet spot.
âą Humidity: Holding at 70%.
Everythingâs been pretty stable, and it looks like the plant is loving it.
Major Work This Week â Defoliation & Topping
This week was huge in terms of plant training. The foliage was getting super dense, so I went in for a heavy defoliation, removing all the big fan leaves. On top of that, I topped the plantâcut the main shoot to redirect energy towards the secondary branches. The goal is to push those side branches so they can take full advantage of the SCROG I just set up!
Now, itâs all about recovery. Hopefully, she bounces back strong, and we can really start working that SCROG.
Alright, thatâs it for this week! Letâs keep an eye on things and see how she responds. Super excited to check in next week and see how she evolves.
đ«đ·Semaine 3đ«đ· â Explosion de croissance & Premier palissage
De retour pour lâupdate de la semaine ! La Mother Gorilla part en vrille, elle pousse Ă une vitesse folle et franchement, je suis super content. La plante est ultra vigoureuse, et les feuilles sont juste Ă©normes. Certaines atteignent 21 cm de longueur, câest complĂštement dingue. Je crois que je nâai jamais vu ça avant.
Et franchement, je dois le direâje suis vraiment impressionnĂ© par le Formulex de chez Growth Technology. Jâutilise exactement la mĂȘme solution nutritive depuis le dĂ©but, et les rĂ©sultats sont juste dingues. Câest un produit hyper simple, mais ce que ça donne pour lâinstant, câest vraiment incroyable. Je vais bientĂŽt passer sur les engrais de croissance (ils sont en commande), mais en attendant, je continue avec Formulex, et ça me bluffe complĂštement.
Conditions Environnementales
Pas de gros changements de ce cÎté-là , tout est toujours bien calé :
⹠Température : ~22-23°C en journée, 18°C la nuit.
⹠Température de la solution nutritive : Toujours 17-18°C.
âą pH : Entre 5.8 et 6.0âjâai dĂ» lâajuster un peu dans la semaine, mais rien de bien mĂ©chant. Globalement, câest stable.
âą VPD (DĂ©ficit de Pression de Vapeur) : Toujours aux alentours de 0.6, ce qui a lâair de bien convenir. Tant quâon ne dĂ©passe pas 0.8, on est bien.
⹠Humidité : 70% constants.
Tout est super stable et visiblement, la plante kiffe ça.
Travaux de la semaine â DĂ©foliation & Topping
Cette semaine, grosse session dâentretien. La canopĂ©e devenait hyper dense, donc jâai fait une bonne dĂ©foliation, en enlevant toutes les grosses feuilles. Jâai aussi topĂ© la planteâjâai coupĂ© lâapex principal pour rediriger lâĂ©nergie vers les branches secondaires. LâidĂ©e, câest de booster les secondaires pour quâelles profitent Ă fond du SCROG que je viens dâinstaller !
Maintenant, elle doit rĂ©cupĂ©rer. JâespĂšre quâelle va repartir de plus belle et quâon va vraiment pouvoir bosser ce SCROG.
VoilĂ pour cette semaine ! On garde un Ćil sur tout ça et on voit comment elle Ă©volue. HĂąte de voir ce que ça va donner la semaine prochaine !
