First time on Grow Diaries

Started these girl’s flower cycle on 12/26/22. Starting week 5 now. • Platinum Punch - Thirsty girl. Uses probably 25% more feed/water than the others. This is the only strain in this run that I have previous experience with, and I knew she was going to stretch like crazy into flower so I had to employ some bending and manipulating of branches to keep a proper distance to the light. I know this strain finishes *purple af* so it’s exciting to see the beginnings of this already. I have a good feeling that she is going to be the winner again when it comes to bag appeal and yield. • Platinum Chunk - She was the last plant to show signs of flowering, however stretched quite a bit early on. This plant shares a parent with the PP plant so this does not surprise me. It also is showing signs of turning purple already as well so that’s cool. Hopefully she finishes strong as well. • Zkittlez - This plant is growing the most consistent colas out of the lot. Looks to be about 10 main tops on this plant, all pretty much equal to each other. So far she is stacking well. • Biscotti - Very short and stocky plant. Looks to want to grow laterally rather than stretch upward during early flower. I have a feeling this plant will put up some chunky colas which is exciting. Very tight internodal spacing. • THC Bomb - This plant is quite sparse after pruning the smaller branches. It seems to want to devote all its energy to its main colas and did not grow sturdy side branches. Looks like the remaining branches will produce well though. This plant showed some early signs of nutrient burn, so I skipped a feeding (on all plants) and opted for a watering instead. I may withhold some feed from this plant again if it looks the same in a few days but since I caught it early it already seems to be resolving itself. • Apple Fritter - This poor girl… After already having to replanted 10 days late, it was also burned by the heater and was noticeably stunted. Fortunately the remaining healthy and strong branches look to be bearing good fruit for what it’s worth. This plant had to be boosted up to help even out the canopy but now gets appropriate light compared to the others. Hopefully will update more frequently going forward. Happy cultivating growmies!
