We are currently working on the recovery from the initial stem split on plant A. She's almost all the way recovered with only a slight crack still remaining. Hopefully that split and the overwatering won't disrupt or stunt the growth of this lady too much.
For the sake of experimenting I pulled off the first set of fan leaves that were stunted and discolored in hopes the energy used by the plant will be directed more towards the new growth.
Plant C is looking great and loving the increased Par values from our light as we are getting good vertical growth and the main stem is looking super healthy.
As we get through to the end of the week we will start transitioning plant A for LST in the form of tie down. The fan is currently applying pretty good stress to the already week stalk of plant A, but she again is almost 100% closed back up. The whole purpose of the fan is to strengthen the stalk with very light stress.
Plant C will see LST beginning in 2 weeks as she is 1 week behind Plant A.
Many people ask me about the LL on the guage and I will remind everyone, I live in a high climate desert around the 49th parallel so it's cold and dry. When the tent is closed I usually see rh values near 40% where the normal RH (Relative Humidity) is around 10%. It's just dry here. That said the grow community here and the quality of bud is top shelf as it gets. Rh doesn't necessarily impact the end results.
End goal is still 360g harvest out of this tent we will see if we get it.
@TragicTerps, I just updated it to week 8.. I changed to 12/12 couple nights ago ..yea there’s a couple pistils here and there..mainly on the main stem
@xTherapy_Growingx, very possible they could be photos, I just seen the pictures on your diary and it looks like it's trying to bud up and I seen some pistils on the lower branch pictures. Very curious nonetheless.
@TragicTerps, right I feel u I’m glad its taking long but confused cus I see everyone’s else’s critical purps flower on week 5..I just switched my lights to 12/12 I’m thinking I got photos here
@DoDrugs420, it was easy to manage and grow just wish the Temps wouldn't have gotten so high here it really did some damage and stressed them out. Pretty much made an auto go back to veg. Lol all is good nonetheless and I'm thankful for all the love on this grow!
Bonitas flores.
Te recomiendo subir la humedad y bajar la temperatura del sustrato.😉
En floración no es recomendable pulverizar las flores, los nutrientes también lo absorven por las hojas.
@fraankiiee, good info I have noticed the Temps spike I can't do too much at the moment as it's in the triple digits outside and it's in my garage. But I'll do my best.
im growing growers choice seeds critical purple auto, but mine are not doing as well as yours did. im at the last day of week two . any advice? please!!!
@jkeats, yeah for sure. So I would say it ultimately came down to my medium. They did really well in an organic amended medium and were left alone after training. I made sure to keep the light schedule the same as a photo period and then checked the strains preferred climate and replicated it to the best of my ability. In early veg I had the light about 22inches at 85% shooting for 560 PAR autos tend to preflower week 4 or 5 and then you'll have to control that stretch by cranking up the intensity or dropping the light down. It was important for these ladies to get adequate dark period too. Be sure to check the strains preferred flowering environment.
Outside all of this, I kept the medium at 5.6ph and watered in at 7.0 figured the balance would be 6 4 or so and I did stunt growth because of it. So if you have an acidic medium water in at a ph around 6.4 and that will do her.
Outside of that it's just a matter of trying to truly replicate nature my guy. Cheers!
