Looking much better this time around. Viparspectra XS 1500 Pro arrived mid week 2. The cheap AliExpress light has done its job.
CO² supplementation generally does not work throughout the day BUT I was able to get the ppm up past 1500 (baseline is 440) which I found quite interesting but levels crash within a couple minutes.
Built a ScrOG net for the coming weeks. Don't know if these will grow tall enough to utilise it, which case LST will be implemented instead. We shall wait and see.
Growth looking great. Installed a scrog net in preparation for the coming weeks.
Decided to try FIM plant 2 to see if the results differ.
Notes:
Plant 1 - Leaf Structure 1-3-7-9-9
Plant 2 - Leaf Structure 1-3-5-7-7
All going smoothly
Plant 1 is taking some aggressive LST.
Plant 2 is responding well from FIM. Wait and see how many main stems we get out of it. Also using some light LST to create space.
Light is pushing 35-40DLI at ~580-600ppfd! No signs of amy issues jusy yet although we are probably a week ahead on light intensity.
No nutes yet as they are looking great and plenty still in the homemade organic soil.
Started showing sex on day 21 and are exploding with growth right now. They might be too small for the ScrOG net but better to be prepared and not need it.
Spraying Colloidal Silver twice daily onto a lower stem of Plant 2 in the hopes of selfing. Didn't work on the first round (even after all the abuse they took), so see how it goes.
Plant 2 is looking great. Accidentally snapped one of the middle nodes during LST. Responding well from the FIM.
Upper node now also snapped off during LST.
Plant 1 was LSTd too low to the soil and heavy defoliation was required due to poor airflow, light blockage and accessibility issues. Cut off a lot more than desired.
Growth of plant 1 is clearly quite far behind plant 2, although it was initially a couple days ahead in the very early stages.
Interesting to see 2 very different phenotypes. Colloidal silver applied to nodes of a lower branch on plant 2 with the goal of seed production. Suspecting the Colloidal silver is dodgy and not actually 30ppm...
Gave a half strength nutes, will see how they respond.
