This week, the plant structures are forming. The plants are now getting full strength nutrients including flower fuel. I water every other day, and feed every other watering. It's 1 gallon split three ways. This may sound like a lot of water to some, and I admit to being a habitual over-waterer. To compensate, all of my pots are on plant stands inside the saucer, so my pots are never sitting in water - works for me. This week I also increased the lamp intensity to 100%.
Sweet Gelato Auto - week 5, 5 main colas, flowering should begin soon. Low stress training (LST) began early on day 16.
Sweet Trainwreck Auto - week 4, 2 main colas. This one was topped (HST) on day 22.
Sweet Bruce Banner Auto - week 4, 3 main colas. I began LST on day 22.
The clover is an interesting experiment. I read it is supposed to increase Nitrogen intake by the Cannabis plants. I don't know if it actually does anything because I'm not a botanist or knowledgeable on the science. I like the green color though - it's pretty if that matters😇 The only side affect I'm seeing is the emergence of Gnats in my tent. On all of my past indoor grows, I have not had any bugs. I'm not sure if it's the clover though, or something else. The bugs might be related to ventilation. I have sealed all of the screened windows in the tent to contain the smell, and it works pretty good. For my intake, I am using a AC Infinity AXIAL S1238, 120mm Muffin Fan set on low speed. Inside the tent my exhaust is an AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T6, Quiet 6” Inline Duct Fan with speed set to 6 and ducting to outside through a window. I haven't changed the filter since I upgraded the fan a year ago and four grows - so maybe I should change the filter, or at least wash the fabric sleeve. What do you think?
I topped an autoflower plant, and I over trained it. The plant stalk has split between the two main branches that are being trained. I removed the training wire hoping that the plant will heal itself. Is there anything else I should do or put on it to help it heal?
Unfortunately I've just experienced the same thing a week ago 😢.
Use some garden wire to keep them together, as long as it didn't break off they should keep growing.
During this week, be careful not to not cause any additional stress because it has had enough.
Additionally try to keep the environment as clean as possible because an "open wound" is more prone to diseases.
Good luck on the rest of your grow and hope you get some big yields.
They're looking sexy. Nice diary. I deal with Gnats a lot pal. If you've any Q about them giz a shout. As for how they got their. I don't reckon the clover has anything got to do with it. All it takes is for 1 flyer to get inside your tent. And they're in heaven, the perfect breeding ground. And they stay and lay up to 200 larva "each viable 1, many don't", as many larva don't make it through. But even if 10% from each clutch does, you'll have them for at least 3 weeks. If you start the cleaning up process that it. If not. Expect them your entire grow. Their young will eat your baby roots and can cause disesas, "more so on seedlings" but, most of the time, they come from Inert larva that come in prepacked soil. Especially if store house have them.
@gottagrowsometime, thanks mate!😀 I appreciate the feedback. As for the gnats, so far the little yellow sticky trap seems to be working, but I will continue to keep an eye out. I also continue to mow the clover to keep moisture down near soil. Anything else I should do for cleaning them out?
