Sweet Suite 2023

~ 4th week ~ Gorilla-1 is the tallest plant in this crop (so far) and stretches the most - at the beginning of the week she was 20 cm tall and over 35 cm in diameter. Gorilla-2 is a bit smaller - 17 cm tall and over 32 cm in diameter. The main trunk is as thick as a pencil, and the space between nodes is 3 cm (Gorilla-1) and 2.5 cm (Gorilla-2). At the beginning of the week, both Jacks was 15 cm tall and over 30 cm in diameter. The main trunk is also thick as a pencil, and the space between nodes is 2 cm. Jack-1 got a strange spot on a leaf - most likely caused by contact with alcohol paint on the information plate, during watering. *** Future note: DO NOT use alcohol ink markers! *** Both Jacks & Gorillas started to develop fifth layer of leaves - the lower leaves became huge, almost like chestnut leaves. The first signs of flowering appears at the end of the week - hair on the nodes. Plants look nice, healthy, very vigorous and doing great. Zen1 is developing quite well - she's 15 cm tall and has reached the fifth floor of leaves. The space between nodes is about 2 cm. Zen2 (a week younger than Zen1) is about 10 cm tall and begins to develop the fourth layer of leaves. The lack of one cotyledon caused slowdown of growth in the last stage of germination. But that's over - she's fine now. It's important that she doesn't bloom too soon - before reaches the right size. But, unfortunately, i have very little influence on this. Zen3 also feels much better - significantly accelerated the rate of growth this week and size is similar to Zen2 - 10 cm. Although the lower leaves clearly indicate that it needs something (more nitrogen probably), but the most important thing is that she has them at all - after all, only the stem sprouted from the ground without any leaves. So, that's already a big success. At the end of the week i sprayed all plants with a solution of neem oil - prophylactically. And increased the power of the lamps to 80%.
