First Grow

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.
