These girls are somethin special. I just love them 🖤
Okay where are we. Yes.. going into week 5
04/19/24. These orchids are so dark. I don’t understand it at all. I haven’t given them a drop of anything other than silica and a calmag that has some micros and claims to have no nitrogen.. in weeks. They clearly exhibit nitrogen toxicity minus leaf clawing.
Today I moved them to the flower tent and getting them acclimated to that environment and lighting change. Going from a 100w to 2 320w. Right now I have them about 30 inches away at 50%. Will adjust if anything seems off.
Yesterday I bent #2’s main stem over more and added more lst clips to try and shape it a bit better. It grew in a way that everything was just all growing into itself and bunched up. Also everything was blocked by her big ol goofy fan leaves 😂 I was going to remove her lower branches, as I did with #1, but one of the branches decided to like top itself or something? There’s three branches growing out of like one spot. So, yeah.. couldn’t do it. As for #1 aside from removing lower growth, I’ve been bending leaves and stems with just my fingers to get them to where I want them and they’ve pretty much stayed. She’s so easy and perfect.
I will be transplanting them tomorrow. Guess we’re all caught up for now. Happy 420! (Almost for me) comon clock 🎉
