Day 20 - she's growing great! Added some more wire to start spinning her round with LST, as well as I started to stretch another node. I did not top this girl and will try topping the next one possibly , we shall see what happens
Day 21 - she's going strong! However there is a little yellowing on some leaf tips so moved further away from the light and will stop giving so much water for now, will see what happens :)
Day 23 - she's super bushy! Was thinking of taking some leaves away but I have decided against it, will keep her growing as is and continue with LST. Will feed every other day now with slightly increased nutes, but all in all shea doing fabulous. I believe yellowing was due to light being close as she's looking healthy as ever! Experiment continues
Not many updates as I can't figure how to update daily :D other than that girl is as bushy as it gets, LST is working it's magic and all looks well!
@Green_Man_420, not at all thats the tricky part as well as none of the other budsites are showing anything, but at the same time maybe a fan has touched them, which i doubt, but hey ho. Other than that everything does look healthy and thank you for the kind words!
@KingZigg, I don’t think they are that over fed if I’m being honest. Have you touched the buds/bud sites at all? The plants and leafs look really healthy from what I can see. ✌️
@Green_Man_420, such a great question :D no time limit as such yet, will have to see when she's done, but I am aiming towards 65/70 too. Only problem I have now is a first grow in Coco alone and potential overfeeding so will see how this will affect her, but hoping for the best. She's looking healthy, but couple of buds started ambering heavily already and someone has pointed out that the cause may be too much food so will keep her away from nutes for a couple of days as don't want to harm her. Problem is that other than two buds she's looking rather healthy too :D
I wish you big buds mate! ;) I also have an Orion, but it's my first grow, I just wanted to ask isn't 500ml a day a lot of water? I sprinkle my seedling with like 10ml and it stays moist for a couple of days or am I missing something? 😺
@einamio, gday! I don't think LST done anything bad for her, stem is nice and thick, she's bushy and been growing great, I think I have managed to even the canopy as much as I can and flower has already started so should start shooting up big time!
Regards a scrog - I don't think I'll do that, will just let her stretch now and see what happens! But as always, this is just an experiment and I'm just hopeful for plentiful of fruit! :D have a great day brother!
@KingZigg, thanks for explaining, that was a newbie question :) Not that I've read Coco coir seems a great choice and awesome that it's working for you too! It seems most of the people let their Orions grow naturally with as little lst as possible. But I want to try what you're doing with bending the main stem so I don't have one main cola to try to keep her level. Did lst stress her out? Were you considering scrog later on? 😺
@einamio, Good day to you mister!
Well I hope not, I have never watered so much as after a big break it's my 2nd grow, saying that it's full Coco + perlite and as much as I read about it does say that I might need to water pretty much every day. Coco does dry out quite quickly and leaves are looking nice and healthy, no issues with the growth so will see with the end result. Very good question tho that I do not have an answer to and I guess will be trial and error situation :D
Happy growing to you growmie ;)
