What a week, two days in the little Green Poison ☠️ got attacked by Thrips, they propably came in with the two flowering Jane Does. I had them on the balkony, just for fun.
Turns out neem oil, did it's job well and I got rid of them pretty fast. Odd thing is they did nothing to the Purple Lemonade and almost nothing to the FF, seem they picked their poison!
The Green Poison got lowered by 2cm, getting some extra soil since it was showing too much legs. The solo cup is rooted trough the drain holes, so I guess it's time to move soon.
The Purple Lemonade stays low, but got it's extra top up soil aswell, I didn't want her left out. She also shows her roots down below, so she has to get new shoes soon too.
The Frosty Friday, the one that was in such a bad shape, well... I thought about Fimming her once more, glad I didn't. I barely keep up with the LST and there are more shoots than I am capable of counting. (I only have two hands) Bottom line is I managed too keep her below 20cm, but she spreading out so far, she needs to flower soon. I'll propably flip her tomorrow. She got nice 2 Gallon shoes and, no stress moving on from the 3l Cups. I removed all fans below the canopy every day, no signs of stress.
As bonus you can see pics of my balcony plants, temperatures dropped to low to keep them outside. There is one GSC and one Chocolope, but I was a bit 'confused' when I transplanted them and everything went hazy then.
They are, I assume flowering for 5 weeks now, whilst one of them is pretty far in, the other one seems to just have started.
The Monster Basil, is also from my balcony. That little bugger went rouge and went from cutting straight into flower, giving me the tinies nug you have ever seen. So I decided to at least gain some knowledge on Monstercropping, and you see it went completely ham.
What else? Yeah I bought a Tapo Smart Thermometer / Hygrometer that's linked to my ventilation system via Smart Plugs. Whenever temperatures are too high or it's too humid it activates a set of rules for the fans. Was pretty cheap and I can monitor it from work.
Have a good one!!
About the Frosty Friday, I'm still learning to HST / Topping / Fimming. I picked it up from a local Growshop last week and it was topped and all the branches were fimmed. I did some LST and it seems to recover pretty fast, should I keep fimming the branches? 4 Branches/ 14 Shoot
Depends what you’re goal is long term. If you’re keeping for a mom or sending to flower soon. I like to keep my clones lowers spread horizontally down low
