Disclaimer: I fill my diaries on the go and update them during the week. So if you like to get all the information and pics of innocent plants getting the herbie101 treatment, always check back on the last week to get the FULL picture (of a grower trying hard not to kill his plants). Thank you, have a wonderful week and happy growing!
Day 21: The ladies look good for their age. One has already reached the edges of the pot, which is great progress and a good sign they made themselfs a happy new home in their final pots.
I'll not feed them any nitrogen for this week. I guess i start slowly after the topping. But they got their new pots a week ago and there should be still enough nutrients in the soil to feast on. So this should be the last week without fertilizer for them.
Watering will be 0.2l per day from this week onwards and we'll see how they take it. But i'm quite positive that they developed enough roots to take that up. I'll be cautious and watch them closely.
So i think its time to make some plans how we approach this run in terms of timing. This weekend (or when they reach their sixth/seventh node), i'm gonna top them down to their third node and set up a little base for them to grow from.
After the topping i want to have at least another three weeks of veg. I think one is needed to recover, then two for nice and rapid growth before we switch to flower.
And i decided to do a preventive flush when switching lights from veg to flower. Because in all my photoruns (just two, but its all the experience i got), i ran into issues at the start of the flower and i want to test if a flush prevents that.
So i'm hyped about the next weeks and i hope the plants will do fine. Fingers crossed ๐
