(RQS) Tegridy Farms #2

This week was quite unusual for these plants. It was the first week since we changed the photoperiod to 12-12, thus they started pre-flowering. And we couldn't stay at home for a few days, so the watering was a bit neglected (maximum 2.5 days without watering). The "damage" was small and easy to repair (just water them), although some branches of the Royal Cookies (RC) bent so abruptly, due to the lack of water, that they broke (a forced suppercropping lol). We put a tape where it was broken for the plant to regenerate. I think it's not a big issue, because the branches are pretty straight, we'll see in a few days. Also, this week the weather was rainy, which increased the RH inside the grow tent, which is not good in the blom phase. To solve this, we put a dehumidifier inside the grow and we did a lollipoping defoliation (about 1/3 of the height of the plants - except the SQ) on the bottom leaves, which weren't receiving enough light, to decrease the humidity and better the airflow inside the tent. Also, we remove some suck branches, to focus the energy of the plant to the large branches so it can yield big buds 😋 The plants grew A LOT this week ("flowering stretch" I think), and we started to have some issues with the size of the plant (namely the RC and the PK), because they are almost reaching the LED panel, and the top leaves are suffering from heat stress (canoeing). To fix this, we made an LST to deviate the top leaves from the LED (see two last pics). We're afraid of how much they will grow because they might not fit in the tent (expecting big yields nonetheless - not a very bad problem lol). If they grow too big, we might have to supercrop them in the future 😩 The SQ grew very small in the veg phase (compared to the others), with ~25cm. Thus we raised its heigth to receive more light and she has grown very big this last week (~45 cm), with so much new leaves, so proud of her 😍 I wish we had thought of that sooner 😑😑 so she could have grown bigger. Begginers mistake 😓 Humidity: 50-75% Temperature: 20-25 ºC
