First Grow: ‘Ophelia’ Orange Bud (Auto)

Sep 12 (day 22): Back home now and the girls survived without me for a couple of days…PHEW! Some nice growth on the nodes. Did a bit more LST. Sep 13 (day 23): Some good growth overnight and the new nodes are starting to fill out. Nonetheless, I am now anxious I have removed too many leaves!?! I normally feed/water every 3 days, but she is still a tiny bit damp today so will leave it until tomorrow. I’ve found that my moisture meter gives different results depending where I stick it! ‘Wet’ at the very bottom, ‘dry’ at the top left near the plant and ‘normal’ bottom right of the plant 😤 What am I supposed to do with that?! Going to go for majority rules and not enough ‘dry’ readings (as well as gut instinct of course!). Sep 14 (day 24): Bit more growth today on the new branches. 4 days since the last watering and she looks dry enough, so watered 1.5L at 1/2 the dose. When I went into the greenhouse today the humidity was at 85% because the tank on the dehumidifier was full. I emptied it and set it off again. Sep 15 (day 25): Some small growth overnight on the new branches, but not sure if its on track or too slow? Still paranoid that I have slowed growth due to cutting off some fan leaves. Went into the greenhouse this morning and the dehumidifier was full again and the humidity too high. I am going to need to set the drainage hose up so that the water drains out rather than goes into the tank. If its filling up this quickly overnight, I am not going to be able to empty it as soon as it gets full and the humidity will need to be even more controlled during flowering phase. I will try and do that later today. Bought some Leaf Coat from BioBizz to try and protect the plants, especially as Wendy had some white spots on one of her leaves. Also bought some odour remover as I am getting a weak scent now. Did a bit more adjusting to the LST. Sep 16 (day 26): Bit of growth overnight and the new branches are growing nicely. I fixed the pipe outlet to the dehumidifier yesterday and this seems to have stopped the tank filling up as the humidity was a solid 65% when I went in this morning. Odour remover is doing its job. Sep 17 (day 27): Bit more growth overnight and she is looking good and a rich green colour. Continuing with LST and trying to get the new branches and nodes as much light as possible and they are growing. I am tucking the fan leaves covering the nodes underneath, rather than defoliating them. Sep 18 (day 28): End of week 4 and some excellent growth overnight. Looking a lovely colour and branches are getting big! Did some more LST to try and allow some more light through to the younger nodes. It’s getting quite bushy though and actually hard to LST. I’ve damaged a couple of baby leaves whilst doing it, but can’t be helped. Tucked some bigger fan leaves underneath rather than cut them off. Fed and watered with 1.5L of water with BioBizz week 2 nutes at 1/2 strength. NOTE: Nutrient amount is the total amount of nutes given during the week.
