The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50Β° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil.
Day 1 we have lots of sunshine and temperatures in the mid 80's F. I watered today about 1.5-2 gallons per pot directly from the hose. Well water is 7.6 pH and about 50Β°F. #1 and #2 got topped today. #2 was topped in the evening at 6.30 p.m. I waited for it to get a little more space between the nodes, so there's a bit of stem above the node. This will help it to not split.
Day 2 we had thunderstorms and rain in the morning followed by sunshine. The #3 plant was topped today.
Day 3 we had lots of sunshine, temps in the mid 80's. That evening we had thunderstorms and rain which became severe that night. Hail was in the forecast but we missed it π. I noticed the number 1 plant was growing crooked. I had moved the pots to get more sunlight and the one was uneven. I did some moving and adjusting today and hopefully it will straighten up.
Day 4 we had rain in the morning followed by rain and thunderstorms intermittently into the night.
Day 5 we had rains early morning and then cloudy most of the day. We have sunshine in the forecast for the weekend. πππ All pots were top dressed with 50ml of ferrous sulfate.
Day 6 We had sunshine in the morning and afternoon. Clouds began to move in about 3.30p.m. Suddenly about 4:00 p.m. we had a severe thunderstorm that produced heavy rain and grape sized hail. Thankfully the hail only lasted a few minutes. There was some damage to this group, but only leaves.
Day 7 we had sunshine, but cooler temperatures with highs reaching low to mid 70's.
The plants began to show some Interveinal chlorosis in the new growth on day 5. I checked pH and it's above 7 in the pots. I added ferrous sulfate to counter this. On day 6 I noticed the #3 plant falling behind from receiving less direct sunlight. I've run out of space to accommodate the suns procession. I moved it to a better place for it to receive more sunlight.
This week produced challenges. The topping was successful, but the position of the plants prevented some of them from receiving maximum direct sunlight. It took a few days to notice the affect on growth. We did not have much height gained this week. There was the issue with rising pH again, but this was promptly dealt with. We survived the challenging weather. Overall a successful week as lots of downward root growth was achieved. This will be evident next week as plants shoot up.
@Aedaone, it has a very unique flavor, kinda hard to describe it. I grew a couple of the autos and one of the photos and the flavor was consistant. And nice effects too. π
Looking real good..I like ur X page..good luck with the New PP from fb also. Gonna get de 5 Wen they message me
Have this WC FF in pre flower bout a wk. Great grower really tight inters..
Great looking grow. I'm growing one in a 20 gallon bag that has a thick stalk and is currently approaching approximately 8 feet. Unfortunately I had an issue with powdery mildew on the lower leaves at the end of July, which is very early and I rarely had with an outside photo and never that early. I thought it might be a weakness of the species. I see form your grow its probably just me.
@Oklahoma_Old_Turd, Thanks!! I had a bubblegum sherbet split where it was topped last year. I waited to long support the main branches above the split. Now I add one bamboo to connect to the main branches directly above the topping node. As they begin to add flower I'll ring the pots with hemp twine about 3' up. That has so far been enough support even in high winds.
@Jsanz52, yes I started these about as early as possible outdoors. Last year my FF began flower around the 4th week of July. Everything was a little earlier this year because they were older and bigger.
