End of Week 5
Brewed a nice veg-specific compost tea and the ladies loved it.
Trying to make sure the soil stays nice and moist to keep the microbes happy and letting the top 3 cm of the topsoil dry before each watering.
The ladies have gained some momentum and they're growing at a rapid pace .
I also performed some HST by defoliating a few fan leaves and softly pinching and bending some of the stems to open up the canopy whilst keeping the stress at a minimal.
Pest Report:
Didn't have much issues up until now...
I noticed about 5-10 tiny little thrips on some of the leaves and I applied an organic microbial insecticide (Agro Organics Bio-Insek, Google it!) that seems to have taken care of the problem. Now I will apply it weekly to make sure those buggers are ELIMINATED.
Yup my slurricane is prone to thrips as well.
Looks like your pheno is similar to mine, short and stocky with nice stacking. Took 3 clones the other day cause I don't wanna lose out on this strain, i might take one to make seeds.
You did a wonderful job bro, prime health, i was wondering if I should keep my humidity lower to avoid pm or other problems but as I can see it doesn’t hurt the trichomes production at all 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Really nice 👍🏼
@Hazeterpz, definitely always a good idea to lower the humidity during flowering I have read that it does increase terpene production and also avoids mildew and other issues like bud-rot etc.
