2023 - 420FB Strawberry Gorilla

Lots of growth last week, and anticipate the same this week! As this is my first attempt at LST, the plants seem to be tolerating well with multiple branches/future colas. The color is improving. ***Plan for the week: 1. Watch for pre-flower 2. Switch to pre-flower nutrient schedule soon? 3. LST/Defoliate as needed 4. Monitor light height daily 22-11-2023 (Day 29) - Fertigation PH 5.96, EC 1220 & PH 5.90, EC 1310. 2L each with good run-off. Lights set at 90%, 36cm height. Adjusted LST supports and heavy leaf tucking, and single leaf removed. Bumped up N+ (grow) slightly to 3ml yesterday and continued today. 23-11-2023 (Day 30) - Fertigation PH 5.9, EC 1310 & PH 5.87, EC 1320. 2L each with good run-off. Adjusted one LST, defoliated to increase light to branches. ****changed on second half of fertigation to pre-flower to ensure proper nutrient requirements. Will add Pro Bloom once flowers start to show. Check light height tomorrow and additional defoliation. 24-11-2023 (Day 31) - Fertigation PH 5.87, EC 1320. 1.2/1.8L with good run-off. Adjusted light height 36cm. A few leaves removed. Noted mutiple roots at the bottom of #2 19L pot! 25-11-2023 (Day 32) - Fertigation PH 5.9, EC 1310. 2L with large run-off. Verified light height, may need to raise tomorrow. Plan to defoliate and may need to LST & leaf tucking. 26-11-2023 (Day 33) - Pistils noted on both ladies! ***Flash Clean 2ml/L 3L/2L with large run-off for pre-flower flush, will add pro bloom to pre-flower nutrient schedule. Increased light height to 38cm and adjusted temp/humidity probe height to be more in line with top of canopy. Swapped positions in the tent with the plants, #1 is on the left now since she is a little taller to help with air flow (fan on the right). Defoliated several leaves to increase air flow/light or they were getting crispy. Will be interesting to see the streach and if my LST attempts were successful. 27-11-2023 (Day 34) - Fertigation PH 5.89, EC 1260, 2.5L with large run-off, pro bloom added. No issues noted from flush yesterday. Defoliation continued today and adjusted LST on a couple of branches to improve light and air flow. 28-11-2022 (Day 35) - Fertigation PH 6.01, EC 1120, 1.5L/2L, good run-off, can decrease volume on both. 6-10 leaves removed between both plants, will only take a few leaves each day as necessary. Light height adjusted to 38cm. What a week, great growth, LST going well with no damage to the stems, defoliation and pre-flower. Roots are peeking through the bottom and sides of both fabric pots. Plants grew around 10cm in height this week and with the streach going into flower hoping for continued growth. So excited to how these ladies develop over the next two weeks. Will go easy on leaf removal and LST over the next two weeks.
