Dr. Grinspoon by TOTEM

On last day of last week I mainlined the princess. This week I started bending down the two main branches, and I have to say I didn’t expect a so fast reaction to mainlining. 😧 Day 25: Started LST session, bending down the two main branches. No problem with this, but since last time I broke one of the two, what I understood is: 1. Always do the LST before the irrigation, because more water flowing inside your branches will make them break much more easily. 2. Always loosen the branch you’re going to bend before you start the process. So just move it up and down, left and right a little bit. After the LST session, I fed her for the 3rd time, always @ 0.5ml/L (750ml of water in total). She’s really appreciating this amount of nutes! Day 26: Due to the size of the plant, the air extractor is now working twice every hour (15 mins on, 15 mins off, 15 mins on, 15 mins off). Previously it was working 15 mins every hour only. I’m not keeping the extractor always on because otherwise the humidifier would never be able to keep the humidity constant. Day 28: I figured out there are many leaves with tips curled down. I think there’s some EC lockout going on due to the fact I gave nutrients every time I watered (even in low dosages), and especially when I mainlined. In fact, when you mainline, you actually remove a lot of leaves, and a plant with less leaves needs less nutrients overall. So, if you give them anyway, you could create a salt buildup and the plant could start showing some deficiencies or little problems like this one. How I managed to fix this problem: I flushed her with 2.5L of PH6.5 tap water, and got a final PPM runoff of 340. It’s the first time I grow a landrace sativa, so I’m learning her food requirements directly on field. 😊 Therefore, from now, I’ll be giving 0.25ml/L of nutes every time I water, instead of 0.5ml/L. If I see this amount is not enough, I’ll increase it a bit a bit. Today I also added my two LightHouse Ecoheat bars (80W and 135W) to the room because it’s getting cold. See you next week!
