3 weeks and 1 day old.
she is 10.5 cm tall and 40 cm across.
She just passed her 4.th node (counting from her first set of fan leaves.
Since I think she is a bit short considering her age i raised her lights from 40 cm to 60 cm.
3 weeks and 2 days old:
I made a mistake.
i wanted to to some LST (Low stress training) by putting some wire
around her, in order to manipulate the direction of the fan leaves.
So the smaller branches underneath could get some more light.
I broke the fan leaves at node nr. 3. (counting the 1.st node with the first fan leaves.)
I feel so stupid now because i was too eager to fool around with the plant.
From now on I wont do any LST onward with her.
I´m so annoyed right now.
If there´s anything positive to be said right now
it´s that the small branches underneath now are getting more light.
I hope she will make it anyway <3
3 weeks and 5 days Old:
Heigh = t 14 cm. Length = 46 cm
Gave her nutrients today: 1 ml Gro/ 1 ml Micro / 0.5 ml. Bloom
mixed with a pinch of PH Down in 1. l. of luke warm water
Now 55 cm from the light source.
She is growing fine, even tough i accidentally cut of her 2 upper fan leaves.
the small branches underneath are using that mistake to grow faster :O)
@Cannabeast40,
thank you. i visited your diary. WOW!
It seems as if we almost have the same set up. funny.
have you ever heard about air pruning the pot?
A Technic that improves the root system.
I´m trying that with my pots.
It means i cut out the bottom of my pots
put in a metal net instead, and then i made 100 holes
horizontally on the pot , all 360 degrees around it from top to bottom
in several rows.
One could argue that you don´t need it LOL, cause your plant life is already amazing.
but if your curios about it, check out this short youtube video:
Air pruning the pot means to cut out the bottom of the pot and put in a metal net in stead.
horizontally along the pot there also have to be a lot of holes.
The reason that this pot technique is better is because when the roots meets fresh air they stop growing
and the main root makes extra side roots. All the extra side roots makes the plant healthier because
the plant can absorb a lot more of the nutrients. And the root system it self becomes more natural.
