Week two of Veg. Things are looking good overall. The plant is getting its 3rd set of leaves and was 5 inches tall at the start of the week
The leaves looked just a tad hungry so I increased feeding just a bit. I want vibrant green rather than dark green. Overdosing on nutes leads me to trouble in the flowering phase.
In addition, now that the roots are quickly establishing themselves, I added great white to the root system, both in the pot and the reservoir. I do this both to try and create a good nutrient uptake but also to crowd out potential negative organisms that can lead to root rot. The brown on the roots is staining from the Humic Acid in the nutes. Root rot is slimy not simply stained. I smell the roots. So long as they smell like fresh carrots I don't worry.
Aside from working to dial in the nutes for this strain, my focus this week is really going to be on establishing the main stalk and root system. I'll top the plant and begin training it toward the end of the week I think.
I topped the plant on week 2 day 4. I topped after the 3rd node. Leaving half an inch of stem above the node to prevent splitting once the plant gets bigger.
