NuggasaurusBooThang Noticed the sudden stretch and wondered why. My light wasn’t turned up enough. I have since adjusted to 40%. Stretch has stopped and leaves are growing. Also noticed roots emerging from the bottom of the pellets and put pellets into plastic cups with 70/30 buffered coco-perlite mix.

NuggasaurusBooThang What can I say? I encountered some deficiencies. I realized they were underfed and water distribution was uneven. Bumped up nutes (to 1400us/cm) and frequency of feedings, as well as providing a more even distribution of waterings. Underfed and uneven waterings are definitely a recipe for disaster.

NuggasaurusBooThang After a long week of TLC, they are looking so much better. Their color is coming back and growth is so much better. Increased fertigation from 2 waterings a day to 3. Top dressed both plants each with a scant 1/4c EWC mixed into the top inch or 2 of coco. I also realized the water I had started using at the end of week 2 is RO, so I began adding calimagic this week when mixing my nutes. They are definitely looking so much happier. Plant A is still growing slower than B, but they seem to be going at the same rate and look happy, so we'll see. I removed most of the original fan leaves because they were very sad looking and doing nothing for their respective plants. Plant A seems far more compact than plant B. I also topped them, once they started perking up, and starting tying down branches on one.

NuggasaurusBooThang I couldn't take it anymore 😆. The remaining original fan leaves on plant A had to go. I was looking at all the new growth and wondered why it was so close against the main stalk. The original fan leaves were blocking light. Yesterday I decided to cut them off. I am so glad I did. What happened to plant A in 24hr was amazing! She doubled in size. Her stems were still close to the main stalk so I grabbed some soft twine and started to gently pull the stems outward. I'm still very fascinated that these 2 ladies came from 2 seeds of the same breed, planted and sprouted at the same time, but one is growing so much faster than the other.

NuggasaurusBooThang Removed some leaves closest to the stalks on all the branches for better air flow and light dispersement.

NuggasaurusBooThang Removed larger fan leaves for more circulation and light exposure.

NuggasaurusBooThang Removed larger fan leaves. Top dressed with EWC. Slowly adjusted to 12/12 over the course of the week.

NuggasaurusBooThang Installed dripper system and tied down stems. Ready for flower time!!

NuggasaurusBooThang Spent the week tweaking the drippers. Almost flooded my area the first nite. Caught the overflow just in time. Evened out the canopy by bending and shaping branches. Just waiting for buds to start. Forgot to take pictures this week and will be out of town next week. Cant wait for my surprise

NuggasaurusBooThang Left for a week. The 5 gal bucket held enough solution to last the week, but plant B drinks so much more than A, and was bone dry. Got her rehabbed and we’re doing great. However, I noticed plant A is already looking frosty but not plant B. I’m open to possible reasons why. Should I be concerned?

NuggasaurusBooThang Did my final pruning. Removed all the small, spindly branches that were below the general canopy. Things are looking frosty

NuggasaurusBooThang Everything is looking good! Trichomes all over everywhere, looking very frosty. Some pistils beginning to turn brown.

NuggasaurusBooThang I keep having irrigation issues and finding my plants bone dry. They have definitely endured a bit of stress over the last 2 weeks from this issue. They don’t seem to be going longer than 24hr that dry, though. Certainly operator error with the drippers. I’ll get it figured out. Otherwise, both plants are looking very frosty and the buds are starting to fatten up. Starting to plan for harvest in the next couple weeks. Pulled the irrigation and will hand water until harvest.

NuggasaurusBooThang I almost screwed up everything! I hope I caught it in time and corrected everything in time. For almost a week, I was accidentally feeding with cal-mag water only.

NuggasaurusBooThang Plant A will get cut down in a few days as amber trichs are showing up. Plant B is still fattening up and looking good.

NuggasaurusBooThang Week 568, or something, just before harvest! HOLY MOLY! This plant needed an extra 5 weeks to be ready. I almost thought I was going to just toss it, but it finally started showing amber, but also started a little foxtailing.
