12/23 - Happy 1 Week Birthday, little ones! My Christmas babies!!
OG continues to be the strongest here - GG's roots still aren't out of the netpot - can't even find the one I THOUGHT I saw the other day... but I'm not worried... she'll develop in her own time and in her own way.... The only trouble I can foresee on the horizon is the light... if OG is much taller than GG, the light will need to be at different heights to please them both... I was going to start another seed as I'm harvesting my #2 Bruce from the closet but I think I'm going to hold off... Pinky is in there and she might be ready for harvest about the same time as OG and GG start to really show me their differences - that way, I'll have the closet available if one of them needs a different light height - if not, I'll start two more seeds in there! Plan ahead... always gotta plan ahead!
12/24 - Top watered GG - she doesn't LOOK like she's unhappy but she's just not growing as strongly as OG - who is doing really well... I'll give OG her final layer of clay pebbles in a couple of days and remove her towel... I'm going to have to hang some wet towels in the tent anyway because the air is just SO dry... only 35% humidity!
12/26 - GG has finally "caught up" and has her roots in the water now! I banked up the pebbles to block the light from the bucket and, because the humidity in there was just horrifically low (like 27%!), hung some wet towels and even soaked a pair of jeans and hung THEM up (those things dry SO slowly!)... That's given good results as the humidity is now 70% which I'm very happy about.
Gave them both their first taste of nutes today and added in some H2O2 because I wasn't liking the color of the roots on OG... better to prevent than to have to cure! EC now sits at 0.4 for them and the pH is 6.0 - GG's is a little higher and I might take it down some - but not right now as I have a LOT of cleaning up to do after Christmas!
I hope everyone's holiday was what you wanted it to be and that you were able to find at least a little bit of joy... Cheers! And on to 2023!
12/28 - both ladies are seeming to like their nutes - at least they're not complaining! pH is drifting up a bit and will correct that today... OG is definitely the "Big Sister" and GG is playing catch-up... and not winning! LOL! No matter - I think they're both going to do magnificently! Looking for a little more stretch to them before adding more pebbles.
12/29 - I'm laughing to myself this morning thinking how very like it is to family photo albums where you have a TON of pictures from when the kids are young and, as they get older, the number of photos drops off... I cram so many photos of the ladies here when they're basically in their infancy - and then, when they get older and near to harvest, it's a struggle to find a good and DIFFERENT photo to take... oh well... no matter.
These two are doing very well - their coloring is a bit "off" - there's some slight variation in the density of the green but I'm just accepting that for right now - certainly nothing is so amiss as to indicate a problem - yet. They may want more nutes and, if so, they'll tell me ... but not yet, not yet... Easier to fix a deficiency than a toxicity - even in DWC...
pH is a little high still - not terribly but I want to bring it down, especially in veg... EC remains rock solid but they are both drinking and that's great!
@Kruidenvrouwtje, oh yeah... it's not even me! LOL! It's apparently of a lady in Havana who hangs out on the corner with her girlfriends and they all smoke stogies ... I chose her 'cause I loved the flowers in her hat! AND she looks a bit younger than me... LOL!
@GrowingGrannie, Well, you know what they say.... growing weed is more addictive than smoking it... so the big blunt on your profile picture is just for show π
@Kruidenvrouwtje, no, I really don't! I tried it back in college in the 60s but wasn't all that impressed ... I could get higher WITHOUT it so why pay $5 for an ounce of it when I didn't have much money ... and I've tried it here recently but all it did was send me to the couch - and it was VERY mild shit... so no, it's just not something I'm into! I just love the challenge of growing it...
What the crap is pony-tailing? Lol , sounds like an eventfulish bucket swap . But you corralled that pretty quick. Lookin forward to seeing how your ponytailing works out... lov seeing the little mark near ur name showing u updated .. hope they settle into the new buckets n like their hair do!!!
@GrowingGrannie, awesome news. Was curious how it was working out for you. Now thinking I'm gonna start my youngins tomorrow morning . 6 hrs for a few days will be doable now I'm outta work for a bit.. see how it works for my photosp's , think it should pan out similarly. Shall find out. But that's great , gotta see how the next few updates go for you!!!!
@Grow4Releaf, hey! hey! Just wanted to update this thread and let you know that ponytailing is really kind of cool! It's actually a bit like topping although you don't get two colas out of the one... but it REALLY allows the side branches to catch up with the main cola which has been a terrible problem for me in past grows... one gigantically tall cola and everything else sweeping up down in the basement! LOL! I like it VERY much for autos.. give it a try sometime - but again, don't leave the ponytail on for longer than 6 hours (I think I had said 8 but that's not right)... I only had to do it for 3 days ... :-D Cheers!
That OG is definately a leafy girl. She could just have a longer flowering time in comparison to the GG, just a thought (in regards to the development). Looking great regardless π.
Looks amazing. I've been MIA learning from mistakes π, but I'm back and made a transfer to coco in an attempt to remedy my over zealousness. Great grow as usual, looking forward to these girls hitting the scales!
