Apr 6: weekly foliar with Extreme Blend.
Apr 7: tomatoes evicted from tent to improve air flow. Fourth node forming on each branch, will top again tomorrow morning.
Apr 8: second topping of mainlining to make 8 growth tips. Super cropped so that the outer tip was lower than the inner tips. The supercropped point was wrapped in floral tape which is stretchy and breathable. Will go for 16 colas on these plants I think.
Dialled back from 20/4 to 18/6 to better match natural light cycle.
Apr 9: sprayed with 1 mL/L of fermented plant juice (FPJ) made from the tops removed during mainlining last week. I remember this stuff being particularly potent last year so hopefully 1 mL/L isn’t too strong.
Apr 10: still looking good and apparently not too much FPJ.
Mars-hydro.com for the awesome FC-4800 light and tent. You should buy their gear and enjoy the best hobby in the world.
@NorthernChemist, yeah, and I’ve stumbled upon this great way to do the staking. Starting poles are at close to 45 degrees rather than vertical and it makes all the difference. Bamboo cross pieces are easily friction fit and not really carrying a load. Seems stable with the peony ring still in place and seems to work.
@NorthernChemist, yeah I like it. Seems like the best way to handle photoperiods both indoors and out. This was a 16 cola attempt, and the later start photoperiods I will keep to 8 colas. This certainly maximizes cloning opportunities.
@MiyaguiOkPolilla; you’re welcome.. Yes, sodium, and going a step further it’s actually the ratio of sodium to Cal-mag (sodium adsorption ratio, SAR). My well water has super high SAR which is very bad for the soil.
@Northern_Ent, oh, muchas gracias por esa info. Nunca me he fijado realmente en los niveles de sodio, pero me imagino lo malo que puede llegar a serlo tanto como para nosotros 🍀🍀🍀
@JohnnyBarrel, yeah it’s looking great. Bubble OG is actually the biggest of the three big manifolds, followed by Candyland and then this one. This is a God Bud cross so it should be good. Cheers.
