The seedling grew a lot vertically in the first week. The humidity in the tent was averaging at 40%, which is quite low for the seedling stage. At the moment I don't have a humidifier.
Noticed some good improvement with the pest damage from the previous week. The plant, although late in development, is now starting to show some healthy growth.
26 days after germination I repotted the plant into a 11L fabric pot. A couple of days before the repotting I topped the plant. Now the plant is drinking about 0.5 L of water per day and I am giving the recommended dosage of nutrients for the vegetative stage.
Plant has been responding well to the LST. I am noticing a slight yellowing of the leaves. Not sure if this is natural for the new leaves being very new or if this is a sign of stress.
Possibly but I believe it's related to your ph. Because you're growing in soil I would try to bring it up to around 6.5 and I bet you'll see that yellow fade away and she should get a better shade of green.
Hope this helps.
Increased the solution pH from 5.8 to 6.5 and quickly the leaves started to look healthier. Apparently the mg deficiency was indeed due to pH imbalance. Temperatures have been quite low recently but fortunately so is the RH, so I guess the VPD can not be too far from of the optimal range. I am decreasing the nutrient dosage to half of what the manufacturers recommend.
On week 2 of flowering I increased the PK dosage and decreased N. I am feeding with every watering. Plant is drinking 2L every two days (1L/day), with nutrients dosage according to the information in the diary.
Should I proceed with defoliating this plant on day 28 of flowering? I am always a bit reluctant to doing this as I think it stresses the plant a bit too much when it is supposed to be producing flowers, but I would like to hear from you guys.
defoliation implies removing many leaves at once which (as you mentioned) is stressful. At this point I wouldn't remove any leaves especially because your leaves aren't hiding any nugs underneath them. If you still want to remove leaves I would remove 2 at one time and wait for the plant recover before removing any more,that way you won't be causing too much stress. Also, prioritise the leaves that look unhealthy (which you dont seem to have at this point)
I am seeing that some of the lower leaves have some reflective ridges, what makes me think it could be an accumulation of salt, or over-nutrition in the soil that transfers it to the leaves. Do you think this could indeed be the case or is it normal?
Just abit of nute burn mate, I'd drop the micro as that's just pure nitrogen, you'll have more than enough in the grow to see the lassie through, then you will be able to up the bloom a wee touch also.
Initiating flush little by little. I reduced the EC from 1.5 to 1.0, and I am only feeding some PK with the Bloom, and carbohydrates with the Bud Candy. I think it has 3-4 weeks to go, so I hope to see a nice fading by then.
The smell is great, and the buds, although rather small, are pretty dense.
