Sep 12 (day 22): Start of week 4. 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 and a little defoliation where some leaves were preventing the nodes getting light.
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 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!). Found some little white marks and now panicking I have spider mites! Have put sticky paper down in case, but will post a question. Arrrrggh, I am looking forward to de-stressing on its buds if the plants make it to harvest alive!!!!
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 prevent the white spots on one of her leaves from reoccurring. I posted a question and it doesn't look like spider mite according to the community, instead more like powdery mildew. I know it's not powdery mildew however as I have struggled with that before on my cucumber and courgette plants. I have sprayed her anyway and will continue to monitor her. 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.
I read somewhere that a healthy plant should increase fingers with each set of leaves. Wendy had two 3 fingered leaves, one of which wasn’t clearly defined. The next set of leaves look to have one with 4 fingers and one with 3. Should I be worried? Does she look healthy?
Wendy is fine and not unhealthy at all, leaf "mutations" are common with cannabis plants and as long as she looks a healthy green colour and grows progressively, you have nothing to worry about.
Leaves with all sorts of numbers of blades - 10, 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 9, 6, 11, 13 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8 are all possible.
Spotted these little white dots on one leaf and now petrified I have Spider Mites! Checked all 4 plants and leaves look clear (see picture of the underside of affected leaf). What else could it be (if anything) please?!
The 3 in 1 would also take care of powdery mildew.
To answer your secondary question. No I don’t think it is organic. Bottle doesn’t claim it to be at all anywhere. I think used in moderation it is effective at tackling a few different issues in the garden.
I mean you don’t have any bud yet so there’s no worries of contaminating your bud. I understand your concerns with trying to keep chemicals out.
Is this a nitrogen deficiency? I had a yellowing leaf or two at the bottom of the plant which have since dropped off, but rest of the plant is looking patchy now. I have just switched from fish mix to bio grow.
If u can measure the soil ph u can do a perfect job of this. Ur soil ph levels should be between 5.8 and 6.2.
5.8 early days and 6.2 towards the end. But obviously the pH of the water u add means nothing if the media is not the right levels for the plant to be able to take the nutrients it needs. U can find charts for the different types of media ie. Soil, coco and probably more, with a pH chart for the different nutrients. If ur like me and like to know the chemicals then that's the best piece of information u can have.
@greenhousegrowgirl,oh definetly... she hasnt even hit preflower yet and thats when they really start to stretch!!plus you running dutch passion great genetics...
Happy growing
I pulled the trigger on some auto white widow fem seeds that should get here shortly. I think the timing should work out that I can veg them along with my pink kush. Your grow help convince me to give the strain a try, so thank you!!
@Growladyeastmidlands hello! When you say 'come down' do you mean harvest? If so, yes she is nearly there. Going to start flushing this week and then harvest. Trichomes are getting cloudy now.
