Started using a fish 5-1-1 (one Tbs /gallon) twice a week with a general 3-2-2 (1oz/gallon).
Noticed some holes in leafs starting from underneath, had seen this a little last week and trimmed those leafs off or at least most of them. I notices different leafs were affected and was worried it mite be spider mites. In response I mixed 3 essential oils (Cedar Mint, Peppermint, & Melaleuca Oil) with some water (pH 6.25) but did not check the ph of the mixture in the spray bottle. I sprayed the leaves and underneath the leaves and the surrounding environment in the tent. May have put too many oils in the the spray or perhaps the mixtures pH was way off because when I went to check on them again the leaves looked sick. I haphazardly trimmed off the leafs that were ill looking but left the ones that were not as effected and were not drooping. Hopefully the defoliation will inspire Runtz (one with rocks) to grow more branches/ potential bud sights as well as to inspire Blue Cookies (Middle ) to spread out her branches some more to increase surface area. Team Cream (Left-side) was affected the least from the spray and didn't have to prune more than a leaf or two.
Team Cream is definitely consuming the most water of the three, being potted first and was the largest clone initially. She is full of surprises in terms of how I think she'll grow. None the less she is responding to training fairly well. If I'm not mistaken I would assume she has more sativa traits than the other two due to her wanting to grow in hight opposed toeing bushy and branching out. IDK it might be how I trained her /got her.
Runtz is second in water consumption and responds to training the best of the three, although some lower branches are taking time to develop.
Blue Cookies is consuming the least amount of water and has the most run off. Possibly due to being potted a day or two later as well as being the smallest of the clones at first and also suffered the most nutrient burn durringthe 1st or 2nd week when I was feeding them too much.
What do you think the problem with leafs are during my week 4? I have noticed the there was discoloration on some levels and somewhat looks like someone might be eating from underneath of the leafs.
Currently all three of my plants are around 14” and are almost completely filling up their area. But the height is not quite a level table and I was wondering when I should initiate flowering.
If you can't hang your light higher than your pictures show, I would say right now. They will still stretch to some degree and when you force them to flower now, you won't have issues with them growing all the way up to the light.
