Week Summary: LOTS of growth this week. Performed some LST and Defoliation as well. The plants are really filling out. Daily summaries below.
Day 22
So far my hydro experiment is going well. I hope to end the week with a lot of growth. I think Iβm going to remove some lower leaves this week and possibly some training. Weβll see how it goes.
Day 23
Well I went ahead and performed some LST and light defoliation yesterday to expose some more bud sites and hopefully encourage more colas. The plants still look good this morning, just a little shorter. Iβll continue training this as it grows but I think the major work has been done.
Day 24
I had a slight increase in PPM yesterday and opened my reservoir to take a peek. The level was a little lower meaning that they were drinking a bit more than usual. Obviously theyβre growing, but Iβm going to chalk it up to the following two things.
1) I performed some defoliation the day before
2) I changed the nute/water ratio to a more aggressive mix and they are taking up water faster than nutes.
I topped it off with the last bit of solution I had from the prior mix and today the level is back to where I initially mixed it. Iβm going to continue to monitor but I believe this will work itself out. If not, weβll adjust.
Day 27
Another weekend off of diary entries. Everything looks great - theyβre growing in leaps and bounds each day. Iβve been doing a lot of leaf tucking to give the bud sites plenty of light. All readings are stable and this is the healthiest looking grow Iβve had up to this point.
Day 28
Today wraps up 4 weeks old. These plants are looking nice and starting to spread out a bit with training.
@sandspur, I truly love growing these weeds and I'm stuck at home because of my health so my fun is online talking about these beautiful plants. Happy growing my friend ππ±π»
@Cyrusdavirus,please don't apologize. I appreciate your input and typos happen all the time. Either way, I'm looking forward to it for a lot of reasons and I'm going to enjoy it sativa or indica dominant. Thanks again for the time you give others.
@sandspur, just went over there to double check and you are right it does say it's a sativa dominant strain. I haven't grown Seedsman's zkittles and actually can't remember who the breeders were but it was a little indica plant I remember because it was such a mix of pretty colored buds. Maybe what they crossed it with to make it autoflower is what makes it more sativa from the ones I grew π€ don't know sorry for the confusion π€·
@GmansGarden, thank you. It was but I've stripped it a bit this week. I want to keep it healthy but thin it out for the last part of the grow to give the buds max light. My update today will show it thinned out.
@sandspur, a great man once said " if your not killing plants , your not growing; if you don't push yourself past the limits you will never know how far you can go"
That being said it's always nice to try a new method and make it work !!!
@Cyrusdavirus, thank you. They are doing really well. The pictures just don't do it justice. This is my best grow to date. Not high on style points but substance is really good here.
