--------------------------------------------
Week 5 // Oct 2 - Oct 8
--------------------------------------------
- VPD, ambient air (78F), and water (68F) all in perfect ranges.
- 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 again, two toppings per plant for a mainline setup. I haven't seen a pistil yet.
- Focused on training the mains.
- Finished up cleaning away the lower growth over several days to help ensure the plant doesn't stunt. Every day (and hour) matters with auto flowers.
- I expect they will be bushing out real soon.
- Note on PH, I'm using the Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect line which allows plants to uptake between 2.0 and 8.0 as if they are in perfect range. I've learned not to worry about the PH and let it ride, the roots will create their own ecosystem soon and stabilize the water system.
- I still have not done a single water change (see the beginning of the diary for reasons).
@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!
