November 1: Day 15 from shedding her seed hat and she’s starting on her 5th node.. we will likely top her at the end of the week to keep her short and start the manifolding process. Daily hand watering the coco to run off at lights on. Just mixed up week 3 nutrients following the GP3 schedule but we didn’t add the rezin yet because we plan to veg her for a few more weeks and will add rezin the week before flower as recommended. She will continue getting the week 3 nutrients mix while we train her out. Temps steady at 77 lights on, 70 lights off. Light now at 50%, still 12 inch hang. She is growing beautifully.
She shows guttation at lights on. Very pretty. Increased the fans during lights off when humidity climbed to 70+ but couldn’t get it below 65%rh. Tried moving her to a more suitable location. Put together my 2x3 tent and popped her on a shelf. Having the opposite problem with low humidity and can’t get it above 45%.. lots to think about..
She was topped twice in 1 session
She drinks almost 500ml per day, 6 inches tall. We have to wait about 4 more weeks before we have flowering space so we will probably give her 16 tops in total.
Happy growing
We topped her down to node 3 and removed growth sites below, hope it wasn’t too much, watered her in with our collected rain water enriched with the gp3 nutrients 🤞🤞
Happy growing
Friendship plant update: the soil took 2 weeks to dry out and she was watered again today. Growth on every branch but she’s still very “soft” and in recovery. Half dose fertilizer and moderate light, letting the soil dry down, giving her a gentle wake up. Once she’s firmed up, probably in the spring, she will get root pruned and repotted in a good fast draining compost. Then we will wire her and tidy up her bonsai. No signs of roots from the cuttings yet but we know from experience we need patience!
Gratitude practice update: We are growing our practice along with our plants and we are finding more and more reasons to be thankful. I find I’m most thankful for family and it inspires me to do extra little acts of kindness for them throughout my day. That makes the good feelings grow
We will update more later in the week.
Happy growing friends
