Week 9!
Would have flipped last week but due to timing of being away delaying another week.
14 August - LST’d Straw Glue branches.
15 August - watered all plants at 5ml/L flower feed. Will use that from now on as higher P amounts. Each plant received about 1-1.5L water each.
LST’d another plant’s branches. One to go!
Repotted a UI from a 3 Gal to 5 Gal. Learnt really tough to do since way to root stuck to inside of the pot. Let’s see how it handles the stress of being repotted as it was rough. Added myocorrizae to help.
Also applied 1/4 cup superposphate to all plants since have learnt probably a little deficient due to liquid feed being low in P. Also, sprayed with trace elements as a foiler spray - 20ml/L. Used 50ml approx for the 6 plants. Wiped tent surface down with tissue to avoid fungal disease.
Re sprayed clone with clone spray. Clone was having new growth leaves curling up - have moved further from light as thinking light stress.
16 August - looking good! Will LST UI transplant tomorrow (give it another day to recover).
17 August - watered 4ml/L feed + 20ml trace elements + 10ml magnesium + did ph testing which came to about 7.5-8.5. Used ph down 2ml for 5L jug (0.4ml/L). Brought it down to 7-8 ish so happy with that but might try 3ml to see if more ideal 6.5-7ph next feed. Just want to see if plants react harshly or something. LST’d final UI.
18 August - making progress. LST’d UI has done well. Changed water in clone station.
19 August - Tropicanna Banana transplanted (painfully as roots full in 3 gal pot) into new 5 gal pot (actually 30L as only closes size to other plants available in local grow shop). Learnt a lot in the process so far... Added more fert and gypsum (for calcium - mainly - and sulphur). Going to grab some epsom salts soon too for magnesium and will top dress all plants. Top dressed all plants with gypsum today (1/2 cup each). Not sure if added previous but all plants received 1/2 cup of P-rock as well a few days ago. Watered trop ban with seaweed infused solution too. All watering as of yesterday as being ph’d to 6.5-7. 2ml/5L jug of phdown being used. (Tap water comes out 8ph approx).
20 August - all plants watered (other than Trop ban as done yesterday) with 1L each, 5ml/L fruit liquid feed. Top dressed all plants with 1/2 cup epsom salts.
Hey BluffGrow,
No need to worry about. I already know your grow an commented it a few days ago haha nice - just the normal way as the plant develops. Depending on genetics it could be sometimes more sometimes less.
You can as well check if you have right ph - in your case in soil you should aim 6.3-6.5 to get no nutrients lockout through wrong ph level.
If you got further questions feel free to send me DM - I am always happy to help :)
Good Luck and have fun
support poles the only way to avoid it. and old tent lying around of same size? maybe go buy some cheap metal tubs or some angled aluminum (angle is more rigid than flat aluminum), pvc (will still bend a bit). bamboo stakes (will bend a bit)
the last couple bend a bit but won't be nearly as much.
Started to notice around 2nd week of flower. Worsening but only on a few of the old fan leaves which don’t get any direct light. Strain: Biscotti Mintz from Barney’s farm. Grown in soil, solution ph’d to 6-6.5 every time, organic grow. All additional details in diary.
@BudBoutique, thanks for your reply! :) Yes I was inspired by your post to try LST having topped my plants and wow I’ve seen a huge morphology change in just 5 days. Was initially nervous to do but I’ve had no problems and so happy with the results. Uploaded my latest update photos above. 💪🏻
Thank you. 😍😊🙏🏻
@SqwshKush, nice one. Yeah LST is a good start to learn how they plants react to it and working.
But I would recommend always do some LST - its really worth it :)
U can also think about topping and LST (bending main branch to one side) that the side branches can follow up the others and u got two new main tops instead of one.
You can check out my current grow how I did this f.e.
@Herbie101, right! 😍 Very lucky to have such a selection, just fingers crossed they get to me! Yeah I thought it’d be fun and interesting to see what affects differing CBD content ratios have as I’ve never experienced a CBD ‘high’ (or even a 1:1 ratio). I also got the chocolate strain for baking some chocolaty goods. If all goes well I’ll also try to breed them all to get more seeds and then have fun crossing a bit!
@Herbie101, yes! six in total. (But will probably not grow all at once). One CBD-only, one 1:1 CBD-THC strain and rest THC dominant.
