Day 15: Ended up being flat out busy today so never got a chance to hang the Metal Halide light, will hang it on Wednesday just as the lights go off. Let the irrigation system run an extra minute to let the new solution soak into the medium. The tops of the plants are praying up to the light and there are nodes appearing on the stems between the leaves. Day 16: Very impressed with the consistency of these genetics so far. Fair play to the breeder. Every time I check them I can notice a massive difference and with how healthy the new growth coming through looks I can already tell these girls are gonna love a bit of LST. Day 17: Green and healthy and no signs of issues on any plant. They are starting to look proper strong and like they are ready to be tied down. Day 18: Started Lst today. Rested some yo-yo ties on the top of the coco and used the hooks to pin down each plant to the side. All nodes on the plant now have full sight of the light at equal level. Day 19: The parts of the plants the have been pulled down have started to bend back to point towards the light. Gave them a slight bend back but not to much today. Day 20: The digital timer I’ve been using for the irrigation pump has glitched out a few times this week and wiped the settings.. this time though it stuck on and pumped all the water left in the reservoir into the pots. The medium has not had a complete soaking but there wasn’t enough left in the reservoir to flood and instead there was a bit of run off. Refilled reservoir and gave the plants another slight LST adjustment. I got a bit of Dyno Myco c and had some left over so just top dressed a little on each plant.. doubt it’ll have much effect at this points but it’s better to use it than not to.. Day 21: Removed my trusty old LED which i use for starting all my seeds and hung a 600w HID light with a Metal Halide bulb. Hung at 60cm (I will lower it throughout the week but for the first day I’ll or two I’ll keep a good distance and see how they react to it. Running the light at 400w for the next week and a half then once I notice her going into flower I’ll replace the bulb with an HPS. Getting this done a week later than I would have liked but it’s give me the other vegging plants in the room the chance to establish themselves in their new pots. I manually turned the drippers on and off for a minute and will continue to manual control until a new mechanic timer comes in the post. Removed the yo-yo’s from each plant and reattached as close the new growth at the top as possible and bent it down. After bending them I tuck the leaves behind each other to open up some space for light to get through to the lower nodes. I think it’s to do with the LED I have used but I feel that the nodes have a very short space between them. I will maybe invest in a new one for the next runs and just use the one I have been using as additional lighting in flowering for future grows.
