Growing good and intensively, currently don't see any reasons to worry about anything except balance between the amount of clean air and humidity ~_~
On day 10 from seed, I got b-52 and ofc added it.
On day 11, water the rims of the pots liberally to distribute nutrients and minerals whole over the pot.
Last week's plant showed an adorable life power, I hope this one will be the same or better ^_^
(14d) I'm not noticing that now, but it still grows excellent! update (17d): it grows perfectly fast and robust.
Box stayed outside and the morning sun heated it up to 40 degrees and humidity was 24%, so I moved the tent to my apartment.
I like what I have now.
(17d) Initially, I planned not to interfere grow process. No LST or any kind of topping, just defoliation, but now I started to think about LST and SCROG. MB I will start LST at the end of this week.
(19d) LST. It grows very fast, and I worry that it can cause problems in my short tent. How do I calculate:
1.6m total size - (0.3m pot + 0.2m between the led lamp and strain) = 1.1m - which is less than the max size of the plant.
I don't plan to bend strongly to the ground in a spiral, but I just wanna move the plant's living powers a bit ^_^
20d even after 1 day I can see a major speed up in side branches growing tempo. I hope that will take some living power and plant size will be lower without losing weight (^_^)
20d during changing the pot's stand I shook the plant too much and broke one branch (marked on the photo with a red line). I propped up it so can't even see the breakpoint.
Finally got my voodoo juice, and start using it instead of my GHE root booster.
I shook the pot's stand, and 1 wire dropped to the ground and broke a branch. It looks nice and if prop up it - can't even see the breakpoint.
What should I do to increase the chances that the branch will grow back?
The Red line marks where it was broken (the 2nd layer).
If you do nothing, the plant/branch will continue to grow as though nothing at all has ever happened.
Cannabis is a remarkably tough and resilient plant and its powers of recovery are incredible.
I have had stems hanging by "threads" that continued to grow as normal, even though more than 75% of the branch was ripped/torn - I really must post some pictures of this to illustrate how incredible cannabis plants are.
Anyway, whatever you do, do not put tape on it or cover it with anything, this can just cause issues with mould/fungus, due to moisture building up underneath any sort of applied cover.
Really, in this case, do nothing would be my advice, the plant will heal itself perfectly.
The first 2 days I also gave voodoo juice.
21d LST works excellently with the plant. Side branches look powerful and grow very fast.
23d LST already has given me great results, I'll have a minimum of 8 strong side branches. So my main goal was reached: vitality will be distributed more to the side branches, and the height of the plant will fit in the box. I'll allow it to become taller, and if it does not start blooming - I'll do LST again. I've already prepared the stem for rotation. And I don't expect a bloom in 2-3 days, but it should be enough with the current growing dynamic. So LST2.0 is coming... ^_^
A few leaves blocking the light of the side branches were cut off.
24d All branches are on the same level with the stem. I’ll have at least 10 (hopefully 12-14 before flowering) strong branches + the main stem.
25d Start rotating the stem. I took off all stretching for the night and half a day. It restored the stem a bit, and I've made new stretchings. It is very obedient, but I start worrying about the number of side branches I have, and they start fighting =(
28d The end of the week. It has shown bloom signs, so probably next week will be flowering ^_^
LST gave great results I have 10 branches + 2 coming soon. Only one is a bit problematic, cuz it was crushed, but I still hope that it'll recover.
Hello, is it what I'm thinking about?:P
Should I start adding nutrients from 1st bloom week chart?
If yes - full dose from begging or partially increase the dose?
2 will be added: Voodoo Juice will come back for 2 weeks and Bud Ignitor.
Don't want to miss the proper time for it?
It does look like tiny preflowers, but difficult to see.
I would stick to veg for the next week and then transition to bloom.
She has a lot of stretching to do, so I would slowly up the bloom doses.
The pre-bloom week officially started (*^0^*)/
It gave me 14 branches and 2 more coming.
I really liked that it started only after 7 layers.
29d more and more nutrients burn signs. Prepared 3 liters with the low amount of ph perfect (1ml per liter) and “flash” subtract. Next couple of days it will stay without “food”.
30d I don’t see new burns, I hope I stopped it. Also, I decided to use a 90% concentration of recommended dose from the table.
Until the end of the week, I made a drip system, so I had no time to prepare also report photos, but I got a good watering system so who cares. Am I right? ^_^
If you don't see any damage... no white spots showing up on the leaves or holes being eaten out of them, then there's nothing to worry about! Don't know what the insect is but I doubt he's doing anything nasty!
Good luck!
It recovers from stress after the defoliation but seems to be good.
I've put the custom lamp as additional vertical light for short branches, which I left during the defoliation.
45d I've started to add stimulators back.
In the beginning of week I have rhino skin and b-52. In the end big bud, velokelp and rhinoskin
End of week. I’m not growing, buds become bigger and dark leaves can be found on each bud.
50d - plant did not like my solution (pH went down and ppm went up), so I used T.A. FlashClean to clean my watering system and plant from salts.
51d - I prepared a new irrigation solution. It was around 1k ppm, and 6.2 pH, after 1 watering (3 per day) - 750ppm, 6.5pH.
Rly liked how FlashClean works
59d - made minor defoliation
Additional light for bottom buds.
I received personal good news, no joke, excellent news, because of which I'll have to harvest much earlier than expected. =(
Therefore, I decided to use an overdrive instead of a big bud.
