31/5/23 day 36.
The plants are now starting pre flower. I’m going to hit them one more time with some grow nutrients, mostly rich in nitrogen to help them stretch. I’m also going to stop with the Rhizotonic since I assume the roots should have properly spread by now.
Also the 150W leds are now running at 75%. I gradually upped the wattage a bit every day. The plants are stretching so fast the lamp has to be adjusted daily. Currently the center plant has stretched a little too much for my liking so I bent the stem to create more of an even canopy. Hopefully all goes well.
1/6/23 The plants are in flower now and next week I will change the stage from veg to flower in the diary. The stem that I have bent will probably just stand straight tomorrow, but I also don’t want to damage it.
4/6/23 day 40 The center plant (big bang 4) was stretching a lot more than the others so I tried cracking the stem and bending it over which worked for a little. But today I went too hard on it and the top completely detached from the plant.. I grabbed some ducktape and I taped it back on there, even though it was 100% detached it seems to work actually.
Wow, duct taping it really worked?? I broke a branch off in week 3 or 4 and I wish I'd have known that. They look really good! Good luck on your first grow! It's my first too
