the new lights are AMAZING!
The difference in my girls is night and day compared to old cheapos i had.
Lesson learnt, DONT CUT CORNERS TO SAVE A BUCK! lol
Everything is going so well.
The girls have started bulking up their flowers and sprouting pistils everywhere!
Bumping up the nutrients slightly this week, looks like the girls may need the extra bit, but still not at full strength.
The clones are doing well, some of them have pistils because when I cut the clones they were for about 3 days in the 12/12 tent with the mothers, which I failed to realize, but got them out as soon as i did.
So some are going back into veg, but i dont think its a big deal as they seem to be doing pretty well, other than the wind throwing them around a little.
The Lychee I rescued has completely blown me away!! The little guy just exploded with growth all of a sudden, picking up that the humidity in the tent was lowering to 50% which was not ideal for the lychee seedling so I placed her inside a humidity dome with a few squirts of water.
Also learnt that potassium and phosphorus are crucial nutrients, so i'm feeding it a very light dose of the Boom Bloom which is high in both. This seems to have done the trick and she is just LOVING it!
You can see in the picture how dull the leaves look and the shape she was in. Couldn't be happier to see new growth coming out especially at the speed it's growing!
Will continue to update in the week as things move along!
Happy Growing!
Mid week update.
Think this week will be the official first week of flower, pistils started showing yesterday and are all over today. Will post week update this weekend.
My clones of the two AK phenos are showing small root development, perhaps this weekend I will begin transplanting them for the outdoor season.
Today will be a regular mid week pH balanced watering only. Only feeding them nutrients once a week, after 3 weeks I will slowly ramp up the strength. Warm weather is creating a nice not too humid environment within the tent, perfect conditions for flowering
Thanks to all you awesome people that clarified the grow for me. I just needed that third party guarantee that I'm pushing in the right direction and can only say I'm SUPER EXCITED to get these lights installed. Hope my girls will be as happy as I am but of course they will be!
mid-week update, the snapped stem on the AK Pheno 1 seems to be holding out well. there is hardly any wilting if any at all and it has been 3 days.
mid-week feed with just plain water and pH lowered to 6.0.
End of the week will be another 1ml/L Bud Juice Boom Bloom feed. Will probably continue this weekly for a few weeks and slowly ramp up to 3ml/L. First time using these nutrients.
Will also start with the Bud Juice Symbionics Molasses and Sugars additive after pre-flower shows. Says this can be used during veg but I would think the molasses and sugars benefit the plants more during flower?
Still no signs of pre-flower. But only day 3 of their 12/12 cycle.
The Lychee sapling I'm trying to rescue has new growth starting in 3 different places! Looks like I've managed to pull the little guy back to life! will be pretty cool to have Lychees in a couple of years :D
