First Grow: 'Wanda' White Widow (Auto)

Oct 6 (day 36): Start of week 6. Still doing well post first round of LST. More growth in all places and looking a nice colour and healthy. Oct 7 (day 37): Whoa, looks like she is going into pre-flower?! Orla and Wanda are 10 days younger than Ophelia and Wendy and they were much bigger when they went into pre-flower. Not only that but they had a tough start as seedlings and I thought it would stunt their growth. Well at least I will have a different experience with these plants as they are a totally different shape and have way less branches currently 🤔 Oct 8 (day 38): All good today and definitely in pre-flower! Did some more LST to even put the canopy and get some light to the lower branches and nodes. Fed her with week 2 of the nute schedule and 2L of water. Feels a bit early to start the bloom nutes. Thought I would use the fish mix foliar spray I created earlier in the week. BIG MISTAKE - it absolutely STANK!! Note to self: when using fish mix foliar spray, throw it away after usage and mix a fresh one each time. Nausea level: 8/10. 😷 Oct 9 (day 39): Looking good and responded well to yesterday’s LST and feed (including the rotten fish mix 🤢). Oct 10 (day 40): Looking good and healthy still. Lots of growth and flowers beginning to appear. She’s grown SO much since the beginning of this week, I can’t believe it. Can’t believe she was the runt of the litter! Oct 11 (day 41): Whilst mixing up the feed tonight my PH meter read 1.5!? PH has consistently been 6.5 - 7.0 once I added nutes so this was very weird. Mixed up the calibration sachets and it was still off so I can only assume it’s broken. FFS 🤬 Bombed it down to my local grow shop and got a replacement 60 seconds before they shut. I went for a Blue Meter this time, given my cheap one from Amazon died at the most inappropriate time! Even so, it’s bloody expensive 🤯 Waterproof though, so hopefully won’t suffer the same fate as the last one. Once back up and running, I watered her with week 3 of the nute schedule and 2L of water. Feels safe to start bloom nutes now. Sprayed her with a foliar fish mix spray and remembered to throw the remainder of the fish mix spray away this time to avoid having to fumigate the greenhouse again after the last incident 😰🤢 Did a bit of LST for good measure to try and even the canopy. Oct 12 (day 42): End of week 6. Seems to have responded to the LST, feed and foliar spray well. Looking very healthy and pointing upwards again. Growing like crazy! NOTE: Nutrient amount is the total amount of nutes given during the week.
