Week 4 // Sept 25 - Oct 1
--------------------------------------------
The plants are pretty much revving their engines this week!
- Roots are filling out nicely. A bit more nutrient sediment, but I'm confident it is not root rot. It is a gritty, dirt-like substance, not mushy and smells like fresh spring salad.
- Plants are reaching past the edge of buckets now.
- Water temp swings between 66F when lights are off to 70f when lights are on (end of light cycle)
- I've bumped the nutrients up again to 500, then a bit more to 550-ish PPM at end of the week.
- Topped both plants at node 3. Hopefully, they will let me execute my plans for mainlining them before day 30.
- I'm still giving Microbial Mass every two weeks, Orca every 3-4 days and Z9 once a week to keep the system clean.
Hard to believe this is week 4 and I'm just doing the first top. I have a feeling these plants are going to have an extended time for veg/stretch.
@mangolinux420, Hey thanks for the inquiry. I did not upgrade the pump on this run, and I haven't even regretted it yet. The 250 is working great for a two-site setup! Thanks for checking out my diary! Happy growing!
@Blessed_With_Knowledge, Thanks for the encouragement! I find it's the one type of training I often doubt the most. There are so many moves that can be made during the training!
good to see you back at it! totally understand the 'time being a commodity thing. starting a new NightOwl grow as well (just popped today). happy growing friend π€
@MyWeedAccount, hey friend! lol yes! at least we will get that extra hour of time next weekend! π
i just checked out what you're growing next and I'm excited to see how they turn out! I grabbed 5 packs on the Halloween drop, including the SSB but I'm fully regretting not getting the QB and may have to pick it up at the banks.
Keep keepin your grows fun!
