Another wonderful week of growth! Experienced a few opportunities to stress test the kids this week.
High humidity at times in the 80% range and reaching a peak of 90%. A few plants are showing signs of nutrient deficiencies while most are thriving. I believe I will do A natural level of stress testing in the form of less than ideal conditions coming on throughout the grow. Probably won't torture test...
Tonight I switched them into a light cycle of 11/13 as recommended for these stretchy sativas. This will add an additional provided stress factor as I am forcing the plants to flower early.
I also defoliating the bottom nodes & first finger leaves of pretty much all the plants. I decided to hold off on defoliating up further as I will purchase a cloner and start pruning from the bottom nodes for clones once they reach 3 inches.
I fed at a ratio of 3-1-2 according to my calculations. I believe I will increase the amount of cal mag earlier on in the future & potentially increase potassium by feeding at 3-2-2.
I intend to adjust my feed throughout this week to reflect a 4-4-4 ratio at a target EC of 1150, slightly stronger than what I am feeding now. I will slightly increase calmag, micros, & phosphorus.
Part of me wants to buy colloidal silver or silver thiosulfate & get started trying to produce feminized seeds right away but then again, I could wait. baby steps
I am slowly working on creating a flower space in my garage for the males as they get closer to releasing pollen.
