Surf Purp (Malibu Pie X Ninja Fruit)

Week 4 Veg To start the week, the Surf Purp bunch was topped at the third node. It isn't crucial where you top your plants, just work around the height and area you personally have in your own veg and flower tents. I top at the 3rd or 4th node but if you can grow taller or wider plants then you may prefer to top somewhere else. They all responded very well and are quickly growing new tops and showing faster growth from the lower nodes. It won't be enough to create an even canopy of multiple tops, so further LST will be necessary once her new tops have grown a little taller and can be bent. On day 25 they were finally transplanted into their final pots; 2gal Root Pouches. I use fabric pots because I find they dry out a little quicker, which means more feedings throughout bloom. They also make oxygen available to the coco/roots from all around the pot. This will encourage better, healthier root growth. Not only that, but they prevent the roots from circling around the bottom of the pot and becoming heavily root bound. Instead, they eventually poke through the fabric and the air and light prunes them back (air pruning). Imagine your topping your roots, it encourages them to branch out more in search of nutrients and water elsewhere in the pot, rather than circling on themselves. The most exciting thing about this week is the switch of nutrients in The Den! I've been looking at changing to another brand for a while as I know there's better. There's never a better opportunity to do that then when you win a full line up of one of the best nutrients on the market, all on Grow Diaries; Urban Remo's Remo Nutrients Supercharger Kit! Thanks again GD ✌️ I couldn't be happier as I was looking at this or Canna, so I appreciate the decision was made for me! 😂 Although I usually work with different measurements/ratios for each nutrient, Remo's feed chart lists everything at the same amounts, which is strange for me. As he lists high strength throughout the weeks I've started off at a level 1ml a ltr. I'll leave it at the 1:1:1 everything ratio for a while and increase the strength if I feel I need to. But if after a while I feel I need to adjust amounts and ratios then by all means I won't hesitate to. I've found that the guides can literally be a very rough guide, and will differ from every environment. For example the more powerful the light, the more nutrinets will be needed as she'll be feeding far quicker. Everyone's environment is different so start low and go from there. Sorry for the essay guys, they had a busy week! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺
