Dec 20 - Day 22
More training at top of apical stem. Bit of leaf tucking. Considering defoliating a leaf or two but I'm hesitant. Fed with remaining 500ml of 50% concentration. Mixed 75% for next feeds. Forgot pics π€¦ββοΈ
Dec 21 - Day 23
More training at the top of the apical stem. Rest.
Dec 22 - Day 24
Fed with ~650-750ml 75% concentration that was mixed previously. Defoliated 1 healthy fan leaf that was clearly covering new growth. A quick but painful process. I'm sure she'll be fine though. I randomly decided to place the leaf in between folded printing paper in the middle of a hard-bound book topped with a cinder block, just to see what happens.
Noticed very light damage to the main stem that I'm attributing to the pipe cleaners. Replacing them is something I'll be considering.
Dec 23 - Day 23
Rest.
Dec 24 - Day 26
Fed with ~650-750ml previous mixture. Tucked a few leaves. Considering defoliating another but will wait.
Dec 25 - Day 27
Merry Christmas! Quite sick however. Cracking fever. No pics.
Dec 26 - Day 28
Tested positive. Managed to continue the previous regimen. We're all resting. No pics again.
I hope those aren't nanners in the last picture. Worried my bulk seed Trainwreck from NASC could be a boy one day and ruin things for me. It's listed as feminized on their site though.
I was also a bit worried after taking that pic but after recently harvesting my previous plant, which didn't have hermie issues, I noticed very similar growths on her. So I don't think it's harmful. Possibly just plump baby calyxes.
Edit: I think this is a good article about what we're seeing: https://www.maximumyield.com/definition/282/calyx
Looking real nice! I'm on my 1st ever grow and my seedlings sprouted just 6 days before yours. I'll let you know my fuck ups since I'm a week ahead π€£
Enjoy it!
