Secret Garden

Day 30 - November 22, 2023 I mulched them. Thanks to love_2_grow for reminding me. Day 31 - November 23, 2023 I defoliated the next lowest set of leaves that were not getting any light. I also lowered the light and corrected the humidity a bit, to encourage faster growth. I noticed them slowing down, and it was because my humidity sensor for my automation was in the wrong location for a couple days. Soon, I will start training them. Day 32 - November 24, 2023 When it gets cold out, mites come out to play around here. They usually are very few in numbers and do minimal damage, with maybe a small hole or yellow spot on a fan leaf here and there. Regardless, I don't like them. I started seeing small yellow damaged spots on the plant with the wide leaves today. Nothing major at all. To combat them, I misted them with a diluted neem oil and hydrogen peroxide solution. Day 33 - November 25, 2023 I cut off the next lowest fan leaves, and some small secondary growth coming out of that node's shoots. Day 34 - November 26, 2023 All is going great. I applied a new IPM today to help protect against mold. I have been busy adjusting the ventilation and overall environment of my grow room, so I didn't get to do any LST yet. From the growth, I should have began yesterday, but we will be beginning tomorrow at lights on. I'll be talking more about all of this work, and the new IPM, in next week's update.
