April 3, day 14: cal-mag issues are generally improving from the increase in RH, foliar feeding, and the higher EC nutrient solution. However, it is clear to me that the plant is suffering from a little over watering. Usually I don't have this issue because I mix a good amount of perlite with my coco, but this time I wanted to have a little more room for the root ball and thought I would be fine with the drainage of pure coco. As the issue is somewhat minor and I am still getting consistent growth, I hope the problem fixes itself as the plant grows and dries the coco out quicker. But in the meantime I am dialing down the frequency of fertigation to keep things on the right track. Fertigations are being reduced to 1x per day for the time being.
April 5, day 16: the Euforia is doing better by the day, perhapse due to the change in watering frequency or just by it's age. It is doing well enough that I topped the plant, and will start performing LST when the branches get some more growth.
April 9, day 20: leaves are growing well with a more healthy shade of green, and tons of side branching has happened post FIM. I keep trying to troubleshoot the mildly droopy leaves, but reducing watering frequency hasn't had much of an effect. Either way, the growth rate has been generally steady and on target for it's age so I am going to keep letting it do it's thing!
That is so huge for one plant! My Candy Kush is at day 16 and I started LST, I really want to train it a lot. I LST all my autos and it makes a big difference.Last year I trained my critical purple pretty well and after seeing yours, I want to get mine the same. Every year I learn more so I'm being diligent as can be. I use pipe cleaners from the Walmart craft section, they're nice and fuzzy and canโt cut into the stems. I'm excited watching your progress, that's as good as it gets, big time!
@nhcowboy, yeah, it's gotten really big! When I switched to growing coco I started overgrowing my little tent, although I'm still a fan of soil growing as well. I think LST can really help with yields and overall plant size, but I am happy I'm just growing this one plant at the moment. With how dense it is it has taken lots of care and careful lead removal. Keep having a good time with the LST and happy growing! ๐ฑ๐
structure of the plant looks to compressed and bushy ? do you think the middle and bottom flowers will reach any light or airflow?
do you think yield will be affected by this?
im just asking , congratulations btw for the grow
@@@serinboy, thanks, it really bushed up especially after the FIM. The bottom flowers will definitely stay underdeveloped and will only be good for edibles. I could have stripped more of the plant earlier but at this point the bottom nugs are still forming trichomes. The middle buds may not gain as much density as the tops but will be fine, and can always be pressed into rosin. But keep in mind in terms of yield there will be 60+ tops each with about 4-8 inches of ideal development. In terms of yield that should be higher then a plant grown without the FIM/LST.
