Welcome to my Frosted Guava Auto Diary Sponsored by Zamneisa
Pre Flower Day 14-20 I truly thought she was finished with pre flower.. and I done a 20% defoliation. Grrrr. She stopped growing for like 36hrs. I thought she was finished with her stretch. I knew she looked a bit on the thin side pistil wise. Just thought was a runt. She still looks thin. No doubt I hurted her potential. And usually I wait until week 3. But, she decided to put on another 12cm. Afew days ago, she was 53. I hope she's done stretching. And I'm turning the light off for 4hrs during the day. When my grow room doesn't drop below 4c with lights on/off.
Diet, ppm, ph: I have been keeping to my 1:3:3 Jungle Juice Trio. I've also changed Enzymes to fire Yields and Goddess lada. Added Phoenix and Bacchus & Poseidon.. changed the Trios ppm from 630 to 825..ph went down to 6.3.
Power Buds was used to stimulate the soil and getting pretty good results from it.
Defoliation/lST
I defol too soon. As she wasn't done with her stretch. 20% of fan leafs were removed. Then she decided to grow another 12cm. Yday she said 56ish Longest pre flower in an auto I've had. I'll know for the next of zams autos. LST will be applied this week. After pre is over. The nodes are still very pliable.
Lights. P1000 & SF-1000D. 2x 100w with different light spectrums. The P1000 is much more white whereas the SF-1000 has a high red Spectrum with a few warm blues.. I've not tried both this lights in such a close space. And I've an auto a few days old its 90cm away and getting 350-450umol 20-25klux. The top of this hits 55-56000 lux 950-985 umol/ppfd. The lowest part of the plant is getting 20.000-35.000 lux. 350-450 umol.
@Ned_Schneebly, ah she got defol to soon..I thought pre was over. And then she took off. She's on the thin side. Think I'm in for a long flowerer here.
@Ned_Schneebly, bane of my short growing stint. Everytime I get them. Its when I order my soil from my home county. No more. I'm sick of them. The larva stay dormant for months. They just waiting for high RH and wet soil to hatch. Think I'm due another wave soon. Didn't catch the fliers quick enuf. 2 well placed traps didn't catch 22 between them though.
