THURSDAY 11/29:
Impressive plants..both of them. Cruella is waaay more sensitive to heat and needs soil with VERY good drainage. She wilts for a few hours every time I water her, no matter how little I give her. I continue to poke and prod it with my moisture probes regularly to keep it from compacting too much for her. Carlotta hasn't given me any problems at all. She's just a little slower, but almost Cruella's equal in size now.
I foliar fed a few times and did a photo session.
FRIDAY:
Foliar fed a few times and tweaked a few things..
They are both spending most of their energy making flowers now...only grew a half inch last night.
SATURDAY:
Both Cruella and Carlotta continue to stretch. I fed therm with about 1/3 gallon of full-strength bloom nutes today and foliar fed them a few times and re-positioned them.
SUNDAY:
Cruella's buds are swelling up a bit now. I plucked off most of her burnt-up leaves and she's looking quite sexy now.😋 Carlotta's main stalk and branches have really thickened up. She's gonna be able to support some super-sized colas like her older sister now.👍
I tweaked my ventilation on Saturday and the temps were staying at or below 84, so... I quickly added my other 60w 3500k COB light to the tent..it's and positioned it on the Cookie-twin's backside.. 😎
MONDAY:
I foliar fed them today and will again for a few more days, but will probably start rinsing them off with ph'd spring water after that. Their buds are starting to thicken now.
TUESDAY:
Cruella and Carlotta both appear to have root problems. They look overwatered even when i just feed them a little and even when they are almost dry. I probed their soil very well and they were actually almost dry. I just fed them a tiny dose (12 oz each) of ph'd water with boomerang, kangaroots, calimagic, and some bat guano powder. If I don't see improvement in the next couple of days, I'll assume they are rootbound and transplant them into 5 gallon fabric pots.
I wish!
They still haven't even shipped it to me yet!
4-5 day shipping..if they ever take it to the carrier...
In anticipation of having the new light for my spring grow, I ordered another batch of seeds from Seedsman tonight:
5 x Six Shooter
3 x Stardawg
3 x Tangie'matic
3 x California Snow (freebies)
1 x White Widow Auto XXL
..buncha big bitches😜
@CRiSPrGrow,
I'm really digging them too. Such even coverage!
It's actually pulling 840w at the wall instead of the rated 800w..pretty cool. I'd say the overall spectral output is as advertised..3200k with a really nice peak in the 660nm range. Once the two additional 4ft bars arrive, I'll have the 4 x 5 completely covered...now I just gotta keep my plants alive long enough to enjoy them!!!😖
@CRiSPrGrow, Zactly.
Though, with photoperiod strains, I'll prolly still do the paper towel trick because I prefer a bigger taproot when I plant them..and because they'll have plenty of time to get big regardless if I "faff about" (as MissFlowerPower says) with the paper towel.😁
