In hindsight, this week should've been categorized as flowering, but I guess it's too late now.
Jan 3 - Day 36
Rest.
Jan 4 - Day 37
Fed with ~1L 100% recommended grow fertilizer solution (1tsp per gallon).
Pulled some ties with fairly assertive hand training/tucking. No new ties. Seemed to work well until the last stem broke and broke my heart. I thankfully had mending tape ready and had it in place within moments. I know it's normal to make mistakes but it still feels terrible! I hope the branch recovers.
Jan 5 - Day 38
Thankfully, the stem I had to repair seems healthy for now, even growing overnight along with a few other branches that are breaking the canopy. Added a few more ties and hand-trained a bit more. It looks like she's going to have more bud sites and potentially more light penetration than my last plant.
Jan 6 - Day 39
2 more ties were added with some minor hand training. Fed with remaining 1L of previously mixed solution. Rotated.
Jan 7 - Day 40
Rest. No pics.
Jan 8 - Day 41
Fed with ~1L 100% recommended grow solution.
Jan 9 - Day 42
Likely the last bit of serious training as she's getting older and the canopy looks fairly even to me now. Raised her 28W lights by a few inches as she'd grown just a bit too close for comfort.
Overall, she seems healthy to me, especially when directly comparing her to my previous grow.
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!
