Wicked week.
Moving:
This week report starts with my moving to a new apartment.
It's actually not my first moving with a plant, but now it's kinda too big, so I asked my friends bag. Btw, the next day they stayed in different airports, so the bag didn't really smell after it π
I poured out the water from the bucket, gently placed it into the bag. And then the main rule I had is to keep the bad vertically while transplanting. And I'd suggest to just walk with the bag to the destination place, but since it was too far, I needed to order an uber. It was quiet hard to find the right car, because I cannot put it into a trunk, and I needed to order a truck or find a car with a large interior, so i could put near foot. I chose the 2nd one. Don't like extra attention π
Plant report:
The moving was quiet easy for her, and not for me. She recovered quiet fast after it. But here I forgot to tie her down, which is my mistake, and the next day the grow up a lot, so it wasn't enough thread length anymore.
Despite I don't use strings anymore, I still stretch her by myself with a bare hands few times a day. It actually works, just a bit worse, I guess.
Usually I grow in closets, but here they have no space for it. So I need to think about her future home.
I didn't want to buy a tent at the beginning, cause I think it's not that necessary.
I still think so, they are way more overrated than the other 'grower stuff', but may be it would be more comfy with it π
I forget, that my lamp was not 70% only, so I turned it to max now.
I also found out, that I got almost infected from bamboo(week 2) not only by aphid, but by ebanaya Sciara also. And they are growing their fucking babies in a wet ground. So I kind of buried them.
I wrapped opened medium in a package. Now I see and kill only 5 this little monster flying around, before that was counted in dozens.
I keep defoliating every day 4-8 leaves. To remove old useless leaves, or to open a new ones.
Finally, by the end of this week, preflower started.
After that smell also changed a bit, now it's less 'plant' and more 'buds' in the air.
Ok. I've got an idea about 8 colas positions. You can make 8 holes in the pot cap and put a toothstick in each. Then fix the colas in the right directions with the threads
@Dr_Anow, Yeah, that's a problem now, to properly handle it. Cause the plant pulls out my strings every day and I need to fix pretty often. Plus I'm running out of this strings already, so I might think about another method.
Actually I didn't understand, how I can use toothsticks, but some holes in a pot cap might be an idea π
Very nice looking plant, my friend! She looks very well after a move for sure! I feel the same way about grow tents. You don't need them. I just hung foil around my 4. Happy growing!
@inversi0n, I'm glad it's working for you well! I'm glad I was able to help ya out with that bit of info. It really helps and is so beneficial for your plant
@@Adam_Green, oh, thank you, man! I'm waiting for her so much, she have a loot of space to fill before harvest!
H2O2 also helps her to be the dominant organism in the solutionπ
I think she is looking great. Of the 5 I have, I only journal about 4 of them, it is taller than them. And that topping was beautiful. The way the arms grow out and how thick they are is impressive. I don't really have anything to say about the lighting schedule. I used 18/6 for veg and am flipping them to 12/12 now for flower. I think she looks really good, especially after a move.
@inversi0n, Mine are more bushy too. I even raised my lights to try and force them to stretch and they wouldn't. So if you find the secret lemme know lol. I hope she gives you a great yield even if she's bushy!
@@Adam_Green, Thank you for support π
It's my 2nd time trying to mainlaing the plant, i think i needed to stretch her more, because she's still becoming more bushy with leaves and secondary branchesπ
I'll try to experiment with the diet, have some ideas about it.
Nice to see the mainlaining is going great!!π She is extra thirsty bc you are 'training'her in this stage.. is xtra hard for her, mayb
But im sure she is in good hands with u and she will grow like a queenπ
@Hologram, Thank you very much!
That thirsty, that I'm filling the water on the bucket everyday nowπ
Yes, it should be harder for her to grow with that training for now. But I think, it's crucial to keep doing it, while she's on her veg.
Later she should be receiving only benefits from this. I hope π
holy crazy tech. i still learning how to grow a plants properly and fans of this technique so far, yours looking very massive
if you not mind, im curious about multiple times topping, is it because of hydroponic base is a big part of how she recovering well and veg period occurs? ( i usually see hydro plant take longer period in veg stage)
thank you π
@kardel, Thank you a lot!
Yes, with hydro plant has easier access to nutrients and air, so it allows them to grow and recover faster.
However, this veg time was long because I've done too much cuts, I guess
@Dr_Anow, Good bloody question.
In recommendations for Piranha and Voodoo juice they say, that it should be added at first couple of weeks of vegetation and at first couple of weeks of blooming.
I don't really understand why so, why is it bad to use bacterias at preflowering. But as I understand, the main idea is to boost root growing when needed excluded transition and late blooming phases.
So, I'm trying to maximize profit from it without big risk. Moreover i'm growing in hydro-system, so the bacterias should be still in a bucket))
Anyway, I'm not using it already, you'll see in the next week report π
@inversi0n, thats very good to hear ππ
when the end result tastes so nice, all the 'mistakes'u may have made .. make perfect sense now!! ππ
60gr dry for an auto is just π π!!
keep on Mainlining!!π
5 weeks into an auto with no site of pre flowers. I could be wrong but my guess is your going to have a monster fucking plant my friend. Happy growing stay positive
