The Cake Stomper is looking fabulous for the most part.
I took a picture of the roots during a rez top-up last week and noticed that some of the roots were actually green coloured; almost certainly due to light leak - I usually have a cover fashioned for my bucket lids to block light from the entering the rez and low and behold I'd forgotten to add the topper to this bucket. Doh! I've since added a cover and am hoping this doesn't cause any issues down the road. Everything else looks pretty good currently. 🤞
She grew another 9" through the stretch this week and is about 24" tall now.
Rez change today - it's been about 10 days since the last one. No big changes. Pretty much following Remo's feed chart. EC is running right around 1 and PH has been between 6 - 6.2 all week.
I did a bit of pruning this week, cutting out a few branches and bud sites beneath the canopy. Thankfully I've not had to put in the amount of work as I do on her tent mate, the Strawberry Dawg Pie. So far it's been easier to bake a cake than a pie 😉
Thanks for tuning in ✌️
Looking good mate!
How you like Remo’s VeloKelp? Particular kelp beneficial contains ascophyllum kelp and it is reported to work as a biostimulant also can be used as a ”natural PGR” in higher doses.
TLDR; have you noticed the difference if plants growing more compact and bushy when supplying Kelp?
@Verbalist, Greetings! Funny you should mention the VeloKelp...
I visited my local hydro supply store to refill on nutes the other day and the person I was talking to really discouraged the use of VeloKelp in DWC. She said the potential harm it can cause outweighs any benefits - there's stuff in the mix that can't be absorbed in DWC and the fallout that clings to the roots can attract nats, promote mold/fungus, etc. I'm going to stop using it.
TLDR; to answer your question, no I don't notice the plants growing more compact and bushy using VeloKelp. 😀
