The girls got their first feed this week. It looks like the Nitrogen was a bit much for the Sherbert queen, so I may need to separate their nutrient dosing if the Creamatic still wants more. Going to give them water for their next feed, but go a bit lighter. I want to give them a bit more phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, and potassium now that they are entering the flowering phase. I might only give them a liter of plain water next feed, and check two days later to see if they want another round, so I can get another nutrient dose in minus the Nitrogen. (2 liters of water per feed usually)
So far we are looking good I think! The flower stretch is in full effect, checking the 1/31 top shot duo photos against the 2/4 top shot duo is quite a contrast. The middle bamboo stick used to tower over the Sherbert, Now you can barely see it. Even the Royal Creamatic is keeping up, even though she is supposed to take an extra few weeks to finish, so I am pleased that I don't have to make too many adjustments to keep her happy. I always appreciate a lady who leans a bit toward the low-maintenance side ;)
The bamboo LST method continues to prove effective and truly low stress. Its very easy to continue the NESW spread and spread the larger branches away and up from the main cola. I want to take more risks with either topping or other HST tricks on the main stem to promote multiple "main cola' growth, but for now I am enjoying just letting the plants do most of the work while I promote the best possible coverage and space for them. Once I get a bit more bud rich I will play around more with the limits. But hey, this hobby is a blast, and just growing some plants is so much more fun than I could have imagined before I gave it a shot!
@Adkguerrilla44, Thanks for the likes and replies!! I did know about Titan being an Auto, I just accidentally included it in the photoperiod photo. My next run is decided and will be Titan, Northern Lights, and Watermelon. (All Auto's again)
On the Widow post you mentioned getting away from Fox Farms. Do you have any soil recommendations? I eventually want to try a different medium, but I have been enjoying soil a lot so far.
@MrBulldops, Haha thanks! My grow room is adjacent to my man cave, so the gaming/anime tapestries make it into the photo shoot now and then when I want to take pictures outside of the tent.
