Beginning of week..
This week I am trying to get these branches to even out.. Or at least get these lower branches to catch up.. Kinda hard when they are hidden.. The second to last node is ok.. But the lowest node is kinda blah.. I may cut them for clones.. Haven't made up my mind yet.. But I do want a couple clones of this girlie.. But we shall see how it goes this week.. Went up on the FloraGro.. I have already noticed many roots poking out of the bottom.. Wow.. Crazy fast.. The runoff pH has now been coming out a little lower than it is going in.. Not bad... In at 6.2 and runoff has been coming out 5.9 - 6.0.. Again.. Not bad at all.. Just hope something isn't gettin fucked off in there.. Runoff PPMs are coming out great.. Alot lower than going in each time.. Which means she is gulping that shit down! Feeding at 900+ PPM and the runoff is coming out 500 - 600 PPM. Again, I use the water, feed, water, feed, etc. technique.. She is loving life! No leaf issues.. Roots exploding.. These branches should really do some magical things this week! I cant wait!!! LST and ScrOG.. Oh the joy!!! Lol
Mid week...
Went ahead and tied 2 nodes (4 branches) down. Today's pics are from right after tying branches down and also tucking some leaves to uncover the lower branches (as much as possible).. I'm trying not to strip her down too bare.. Which I have done in the past.. I think it slows growth quite a bit for a few days.. So avoiding that this run.. At least while she is still this young. I see MANY roots already poking out of the bottom of the fabric pot.. None out of the side, yet.. Kinda weird.. I'm sure they will soon tho.. This is a very reused pot.. Not even sure how many times.. Washed at least 3 times.. Soooo.. Maybe 5 or 6 runs have been in this pot lol.. And still works just as it did from day 1!.. Of course just a little ugly.. Not too bad tho!.. Have still been using 25% Brita filtered tap water with 75% rain water, which I only filter thru a fabric to remove sediments and other solids.. Seems to be working great so far.. Not a shitload of Chloramine (sucks having Chloramine instead of Chlorine) but also not too bare.. Usually, it reads about 80 PPM.. Not bad.. Not bad at all... Will update tomorrow with pics of how she adjusted herself from the LST...
End of week..
Ok, so I said fuck it with the Ultrasonic Humidifier and just put rain water in.. Cuz FUCK cleaning all that white powder off of EVERYTHING.. I had no idea what was going on.. I thought it was baby powder lol.. Till finally I saw how built up it was inside of the humidifer.. Those things REALLY should be cleaned every 1 - 2 weeks if hard tap water is used.. Like a heavy clean.. I tried those little demineralizer tablets and those things suck.. I even used half distilled, half tap, and had 2 of those demineralizer tablets.. Just 4L ran thru and I could see a thin layer of that same powder bs building up on my fans.. So I said fuck it and went with some rainwater that is only filtered thru 2 layers of cotton shirt to remove sediment.. I also use this same rainwater to water my girls.. But mixed in with 25% tap.. It helps bring the TDS down from 260 PPM to 80 - 100 PPM.. Anyways.. So today I fed at 6.2 pH 950 PPM.. Runoff came out at 6.0 pH 800 PPM.. Not bad.. Not bad at all. She was doing great.. But when I checked the PAR.. Was barely giving her about 200 - 250 μMol.. I lowered the light from about 20 - 24 inches down to about 10 - 12 inches.. Power is still only at 25%.. I really wish I could adjust MORE than just 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.. I have the Master Controller.. But that thing will ruin the flower period if the power ever flickers or goes out and comes back on.. Because it will restart itself to 'power on 10%' and completely disregards the timer mode.. But this is still some beast components.. They do a DAMN good job and stay nice and cool while still giving a perfect amount of μMols along the ENITRE 2'×4' tent.. This so now I got the light a bit closer and now she is getting a good 400 - 450 μMols. Of course, I will have to raise the light back up and boost her up to 50% soon.. Maybe this week or next.. We shall see how well she develops after this adjustment.. I now see alot of roots popping out of the fabric pot.. Sides.. Bottom.. EvErYwHeRe! Lol.. But yeah.. I really feel like the Myco+ and even the Hydroguard do some magical things with these ladies' roots.. It's incredible!... Anyways.. On to the next!....
***just re-read all of this and realized how many times I said "not bad at all" 😂 I must have been pretty stoned each time 🌱🌿🌲🌼🔥😯💨😁👍
