D29 - The start of the fifth week of vegetation. All is relatively uneventful, and all I'm doing is tightening the LST wires each day. Since transplanting the girls last week, the girls are quietly doing their thing, and I have yet to turn on the Blumat system. The soil was quite most when transplanting, plus I keep the humidity high to deter thrips. I had (have?) thrips in my other tent and want to avoid them getting into this one.
D31 - Last night I finished hooking up the Blumat system, but I didn't turn it on as the soil moisture was still sufficient. I really should say that I thought I didn't turn it on, but when I opened the tent today, #1 was completely flooded, with a good 2-3 cm of water in the tray. It turned out that the shut-off valve was slightly off-center, and that was enough to allow water to trickle through. Ugh. Now I have to wait even longer until I can turn on the system.
Not a huge deal as long as it is functioning in a week since I'm planning a short trip for Easter.
D33 - LST
D35 - The last day of the final week of vegetation as the girls have started to go into flower. I did additional LST and some minor defoliation to eliminate some random leaves. Finally, I turned on the infrared diodes in my grow-light but will hold off another couple of weeks before i turn on the UV diodes.
@love_2_grow, in Russian it's agro plionka. English - frost fleece. Any gardening center will have , I buy it on eBay in UK.
Honestly does magic ! You can spray as often as you want, you will never burn with water as magnifying glass or light will be too intense.
@THChili, Thank you! It's the first time I'm growing this strain, and I'm looking forward to the journey. It's been YEARS since the last time I even smoked White Widow. I'm so excited! :D
