Karen - King's Kush Auto [G2]

Hello and welcome to the very beginning of week 5 for Karen. Week 4 was literally amazing. I am now expecting big things this week. I update the diary daily so please check back throughout the week. Karen woke up this "morning" feeling quite tired. She begins her evening wilt around 4 hours before lights out and by lights out she is almost fully wilted. On this basis I am considering reducing to 18/6 from 20/4. However it's mostly just her, and because of the rate she is growing I suspect she is using so much energy that she can barely hold her leaves up in the late eve. So my plan for Karen is not to do any training. After the rough start I want to see what she does unmolested. Despite very remarkable growth last week, she is only 12cm and as I have at least 150cm of usable height I think she will be ok untrained. Day 29: H12.5 W29 N7 Don't be alarmed by the wilting, it's just because of the timing of the photo. Day 30: Fertigated with 2.5l @ 15:00 Day 30: Photo & Measure @ 00:40 = H17cm W35cm N7 Day 30.5: I have changed my mind about training and done a little gentle LST. Why? Well I realised I would have trouble with light levels and the younger plants... so I've decided to try and keep the older two from stretching too tall. I realise this will mess up height measurements but it'll even out. Day 31: She has responded to the LST 12 hours ago. Day 32: Fertigated with 2l and removed one fan leaf that was really in the way @ 16:00 Day 33: Applied more LST to main stem, and secondary stems, and watered with PH balanced water approx 1.5l @ 02:00 Day 35: PH adjusted water 2.5l @ 14:30 Day 35: Performed further LST and removed approx six fan leaves. Week summary: Previous metrics rendered obsolete by LST. Good week of growth. Karen is really responding to the LST and has developed quite the bunda. She has been kept moist but without nutes for a few days. Now I'm going to let her dry out for 3 days before fertigating. Update 7/2/23: Take a look at the day 35 LST photo. Now compare that to Nesia on day 27, and to Misty on day 23. You can see how far ahead both of those plants are, and as you read through the coming weeks you will start to imagine what those younger girls might do. It is interesting to note that here in this week, on this plant begins my first ever experience of LST. I use it a lot more on my future grows.
