The 5th week of the vegetative phase reaches it's end, over the last week she gained a lot of mass and the branches grow equally at least 1cm per day.
Ill kept the Sugar Royal in the drawer this week because she definitely don't need more nitrogen. The feeding was a mix of rain and tap water 50/50.
My tap water here has 100mg calcium and 23mg manganese per liter (that is considered "very hard") and also a pH of 7.4 so i dilute and pH down it with rain water.
So what the hell is cal-mag and what do you use it for? i do not get it.. π jk.
Ill just use both water sources in varying parts. If i see stems get a bit red ill give more rainwater to lower the pH, if the leaves pale a little bit ill give more tap water to counter the deficit.
Normally the initial amendment is enough to get my plants trough the whole cycle so if there is a problem, it is most of the time related to water or environmental conditions.
Today i grabbed some wire hooks and started to redirect the biggest branches to my liking, spreading them out towards the opposite side of the pot.
I have to check and adjust every day from now on, so in the end ill end up with something reassembling a ScrOG'ed Plant without a ScrOG frame.
To archive that ill have to stay unyielding with my metal wires.
Next week is the last full week in vegetative growth. I am still unsure how i will get every plant in the right light cycle. Some of the auto-flowers are not ready in a week or two so ill probably will put them on 12/12 too.
I don't think that this change will have a massive influence on the outcome of the late auto's.
The Phlizon FD6500 illuminating the auto's right now is at 60% so i can ramp up the intensity to get the same dli* at the end of each light cycle.
If i only had more room. Hopefully that turns out as i hope.
Enjoy you're week everyone and be save!

* i measure ppfd/dli with a app on my android phone. In no way the numbers are comparable with proper sensors ore a calibrated sensor on a phone.
despite that i can compare my measures that i made with the same phone and can get conclusions that way.π π Much love π€
Pretty nice start - going to think about womcasting and plagron seedling soil mixing as well. sounds pretty nice
Good luck and have fun buddy. Plagron and Zamnesia really amazing!
@Herbie101,
Thanks a lot, ill try to write a diary as i would like to read it.
The 10 years old Sony Alpha 6000 does the heavy lifting on the photos, the automatic is great on that camera.
Anyway, thanks again and happy growing to you to!
@Plagron,
thanks for checking out my diary and for the great contest-starter pack!
She started with flowers just the next day and it is looking good.
Check my Update after Sunday to see Power Buds at work! π΅π₯¦π₯¦π₯¦
@@DoughHead,
Thanks, i am mindful of that. Ill cut out the sugar royal because it has N in it. the rest is organic inputs and hopefully will not be a problem in the near future.
Happy growing to you to! π₯¦π
