Week 6 Veg
I've kept the nutrients as they were last week. It's worth noting that my tap water has gradually increased in dissolved solids and has been doing so for a little while. If it carries on its rise I'll have no choice but to switch to RO as it can cause problems.
Towards the end of the week they were given their first round of LST (Low Stress Training), apart from #3 until her two new tops and lower nodes have grown a bit more. Training is a great method for creating a canopy of multiple branches. The aim is to eventually make all of the main branches as even in height as possible. Watch your plants shape and each branch as they grow, and train accordingly to maintain the shape as much as possible. After only a couple of hours from tying any branches down, you'll notice them starting to turn towards the light.
After being stunted for a little while they're finally looking happier and healthier this week. #3 still has some catching up to do but it'll get there.
Thanks for following and happy growing!

@skidmarx, cheers mate 👊 I hope you enjoy the journey! Nice, I bet that makes things easier haha. I've found that my RO is more acidic, and after adding Remo's Nutrients it lowers it to around 5pH, so I've actually been using pH up more than anything! Which was unexpected. If there's silicon in the mix however, then it does rise to around 6.5-7pH. I've also noticed that it takes an unbelievable amount less to adjust down. Only a drop will drastically change even large volumes of my RO! ✌️🦊
