Week 7: Final Veg Week
Well we made it. #4 finally started to jump up and reach past the trellis. As of writing they have been flipped so it's officially the last week of veg.
Did a large defoliation and clone gathering. They looked sad for a day, then bounced back. And now I wish I had taken more.
I'm still getting used to watering this bed. I feel like I'm not watering enough still. Need to get an auto watering system setup to remove the guesswork. Plus it's a pain to water this bed with no garden hose or sprayer (mine broke).
Thanks for stopping by, next week should be interesting since these are stretchers and I swear they jumped over an inch overnight after I flipped.
@ThickFreakness, I top dress chaotically unfortunately. I haven't picked a method to my madness yet, but it's typically every 2 weeks. I offset when I add water solubles as well. So when I water in a bunch of dry amendments I got light with the water solubles. And then in between the top dressings I add FPE's or I'll add a slurry of buildabloom and coconut powder. So the FPE goes in alone usually and thencill water in the powders the next week, then top dress the next, then FPE's again the next week. So yeah, maybe every 2-3 weeks for dry top dress and composts.
@Stony_German, Thank you! They stretch more than I was prepared for, even after nearly everyone warning about the stretch. Plan for at a least 3x stretch.
Good luck!
