**Nirvana "Original Glue" - Feminized**
New seeds from nirvana arrived about a week ago. Blue cheese will be next on the grow list - for now. I chose to start with feminised original glue that I will have to watch closely as it tends to grow much higher than my 120cm tent.
Today, I put her into the tent under my cre.science LED.
Now she is getting the light she needs - consistently.
Since Original Glue is said to become ~150cm I will need to top her soon.
I topped her a few days ago... looking good so far.
05-19: you can see how she is starting to pick up speed.
I am wondering if I should top the 2 main colas or just keep her like that... 🧐
2nd round of defoliation - cutting off some of the lower leaves to clean up the branches and give her more structure.
Initial and lower leaves with 2 fan leaves that I deemed to cast too much of a shadow. ;)
i am waiting 1-2 days between defoliations...
...ok - I got high and was looking at mainlined plants and I just thought to myself - "why not? - why keep the lowest branches hoping the current about average canvas stays this way? let's do real mainlining and wait a week or 2 longer for the result?"
On friday or saturday (I believe) I added some red clover (Trifolium pratense) & Alfala (Medicago sativa) for "living mulch"...
All the lollipopping and defoliation has slowed her down a bit - but she is now getting started again.
I think at the end of the week I could switch to 12:12 and maybe later I will try out 11:13. :)
At the moment she does not present any deficiencies or signs of nutrient excess...
She did grow tall in the very early days and I was worried she would easily outgrow my 40x40x120cm tent but now I am actually looking forward to her stretch.
I have started "shaving" an hour off every day now starting (I believe) thursday.
06-01: 18/6
06-02: 16/8
06-03: 14/10
06-04: 13/11
I am starting to notice stretching ;)
06-05: 12/12
I am not sure if I should remove the top 4 small branches that are growing up on the second picture...
As you can see, I used those green rubber-coated wires to bind down the main branches.
But on both sides of the stem - 2 small branches are shooting upwards: keep or cut?
Your plants is looking good. Me personally would not take anymore. Let them grow out a little then switch to 12 12. While in trqnsition I would do a little defoliation. You can do this right up until they actually start to show little buds. Happy growing.
Soft transition to flowering over several days...
She is growing quite bushy - reminds me of the Hawaiian Maui Waui from Nirvana.
I noticed some minor discoloration... but should be fine.
The week started out with 25cm - she is not (saturday) at 30cm! =)
I had a minor accident - snipping off one of the side branches while lollipopping / cleaning up the lower branches that do not receive enough light.
Should be fine - will monitor.
Very happy so far:
- accidental snipping of a nice little branch healed - although it looks kind of odd now 😂 (I cut through like 85% of the branch and it grew together a bit crooked)
- no noticeable over- or underfeeding
- my little fan blades did cut some leaves in the front but I will defoliate those anyway later on
Her current progress reminds me a lot of my Hawaiian Maui Waui (Nirvana: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/149289-grow-journal-by-fejg87fb2skvf/week/826165)... 🥦❤️
I cut that one around the same time by mistake as well.
She must have grown 8-10cm this week. Beautiful progress!
Very little nutrients... none the last 2 waterings... don't want to keep repeating my overfeeding mistakes 🤣
Progress seems fine - she is no longer stretching and starting to put her energy into the buds. =)
She is more thirsty now so I will give more water but will keep giving nutrients only carefully.
Buds are increasing in weight - the leafs are becoming yellowish sooner than I expected.
Also I do believe this strain is not as happy with my LEDs being as close as I keep them - for saving on electricity I dial the height in with a makeshift quantum sensor. =)
Smell increased the last few days - but has started to decrease now that I am no longer feeding her.
Found a small part of one bud that became soft so I cut it off and threw it out...
