Today Marks the beginning of week 4. The previous week went smoothly. I still have them on the same feeding schedule, I think next feeding I will use be a bit more aggressive with the nutes. I was planning on adding more top soil to WW#1 however the makeshift stilts seem to be holding her in place while the stalk grows stronger. I'm harvesting CF in 3 weeks Dec 29th, and the 3 BBK plants in 5 to 6 more weeks Jan 12th. I can't wait to free up space to get some good shots without having to take out plants.
Looking better this week! Keep up the good work, if you donโt have any photos in your tent (idk your set up) I would up the hours of light your girls are getting to 18-20 per day. You will see astronomical growth. If you want to check it out, @super.squintz on insta. Got 6 autos running currently, 1 of which is a white widow like you
So definitely sprinkle about 1/4inch of dirt over the lanky part while it is laying over. You have some pros and cons of doing this and some can be looked at either way. Cannabis is awesome at something called air layering. Meaning if itโs stem touches dirt for awhile, the stem throws off roots. Itโs how the plant survives in nature if it falls or gets knocked over. So if you lay it over, gently cover with dirt, and give it boatloads of love, you should be good. That being said, that plant will obviously be much more squat than the others. IMO it will be a better plant that is squat and strong as opposed to being tall, lanky, and giving you continuous problems with growth. Also, the more roots you have, the more nutes the plant can absorb from the grow media, and the better the overall smoke. I am by no means a master grower, but I am a professional medical cultivator for the state So if I can help I will definitely try
I think you should add more dirt man upto about 2-3cm below the first set of leaves the root system will go all the way up to that point, and stop it from toppling over โ๏ธ๐ฑ๐ฑ I learnt that as I failed to do this with my last one, hope this helps
