Day 17: started training with lst clips. Started super cropping branches. Did some fimming as well. Going to up nutes due to calmg and some other def showing up.
Day 20: noticed some PM from previous owner :[ sprayed with neem on branches and leaves. also pre-treated other plants in tent. 1 tsp neem, 0.5 tsp soap, 1 L water. Upped nutes to 1500 including an additional dose of camg and noticing a huge improvement. Maybe showing some dark leaves so will probably scale back to 1400 EC. Did a very very heavy defol due to the PM. Set dehum from 55% to 50%. Added oscillating floor fan. Retrained.
Day 25: been spraying every other day with a H2O2/H2O mix. All the leaves and the stems. No signs of PM anywhere. Seems like the neem worked on contact. Will repeat neem treatment in another day or two. Maybe apply it 3x total doing it for the last time about a week or two before flower. I've been worried about their size. After defol, he looks so small but I know he has enough nodes. With LST he looks even shorter. Will have to keep him in veg for much longer than anticipated which is ok since FIMing put him way behind schedule. Run off EC is still low. Went from 1200 to about 1500 2 days ago and plants look fine. Feed at 1800 (not on purpose, just mixed it wrong) today. Run off EC is still much lower so I will keep it at 1800 and check r/o in a few days. Makes me wonder if I was feeding my last round of plants far less than I should have. Didn't have an EC meter at the time, only pH. With r/o water the pH does stay perfect around 5.8ish. I mix in a bit of tap just to increase it every once in a while.
Day 22: re-trained new branches with LST. Trying to train a clone is proving to be kind of annoying. Whatever. Did a meal of 1250 and it seems a bit too low. Will try and do about 1400 next time. Watered today with the 1250 again. No PM showing up again yet. Sprayed with H2O2 in case.
Day 26: re-training daily now. Reacting very well to about 1500 EC. Run off is still low, but higher than before. Going to raise it a little bit more to get it going before flower. Been spraying every other day with H2O2/H2O. Still no signs of PM. Sprayed with second treatment of neem oil. Growing faster now. Started having to loop around the main stem with LST. Going to be about a 6 week veg time for this guy because of the PM. Probably would have switched by now if it wasn't for the PM. Gives my other non-clones time to catch up.
Day 27: first day of 12/12. Plants will only receive 12hrs of light today. Removed any red lst trainers in anticipation for stretch. Left the wire tied ones alone. Fed at about 1700. With R/O water my pH has actually been staying "perfect". I was using the system with tap before and would always have to adjust it a bit with ph up/down. The company recommends r/o water for a reason. Still no signs of PM and it's been over a week. Did a second spray of neem oil yesterday regardless. Looks great. Already did a heavy defol. a week ago so I think I'll be straight going into flower. I'll defol in a few weeks once the colas are noticeable.
Day 29: grew maybe an inch over night. Crazy. I think 2nd day on 12/12. Some stems broke free from their LST wires and I had to retrain. Need to keep them short.
Day 39: heavy defoliation. Dehum stopped working over night a few days ago. Woke up and tent was like 68% RF. No bueno. Dried it out and sprayed with some neem. Still no signs of PM. Stretching and drinking more water. Clearly a sativa plant. Would do great with SCROG but one other plant in my tent is 90% Indica and that makes it hard to have an even canopy. Oh well. Preflowers are showing. Was feeding 13mL/13mL for the past few days. Switching to flower nutes soon.
Day 57: def my tallest plant. Treated with mammoth due to another plant in the tent having PM. No signs still. Only a few leaves were affected. Defoliated quite a bit. This guys run off EC was like 2200 which doesn't seem right. Will decrease EC by about 50-100 and recheck run off EC in a week. Probably done defoliating for a while.
Day ??: Very tall with lots of distance between buds. I see it being pretty easy to trim now. Sprayed CannaControl a few days ago. Will repeat before I leave for my business trip at lights off.
Day 76: Oh man. This guy is getting heavy and leaning a bit now. No signs of PM. Will stop spraying CannaControl. Started to dilute the feed. Will harvest in about 2 weeks. Noticing another plant showing some CaMg def. Will add CaMg during mid flower next grow.
Day 81: flushed it's 3gal pot with about 1.5 gal of water. It's been running on just water for the past 6 days. Heavy EC reading but flushed it with another 1 gal and got the EC down to about 1200 (ish, need to double check). Did some defol in prep for trimming. Branches are starting to bend. I won't FIM this much again. Left me with lots of branches but they aren't very strong. My other clone I did the same thing and the poor tree needs support to stand up. By other 2 plants from seed had a better structure. The more you learn! I will be definitely investing in a flood table after this grow. Trying to flush with these tiny saucers is terrible.
This guy caught PM so I can't say it was disease resistant. Leaves turned a beautiful black/navy color after flushing at the end. Easier to trim than some of my other plants but lots of internodal space. This guy grew tall! Definitely showing it's haze side. Did have to toss some small top nugs that got light burn. I was moving things around in my tent and moved this one under the light for my shorter plants for only a short period but bam. Minimal loss though. This had a very mild gas/diesel smell. I did a h2o2 bath at the end while wet trimming but didn't see any visible PM when harvesting this one. Could have skipped the bath but it really wasn't that much work. They have been drying hung up with a fan directly on them to help dry them a bit.
Hey! Happy growing my friend! I hope you do well and get some good results! I will come by sometime to see your progress!
