White Widow (Royal Queen Seeds)

6/7/24 Hello, Week 5 of veg! Beginning the week with her second topping. For those interested, the mainlining technique is from Nebula Haze at https://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold - this has given me great results in the past and varies just slightly from the OG mainlining technique. - Continuing with same water and feed schedule- watering every day, feeding every other day - Fed higher pH water today and yesterday to bring the medium pH up a bit - Runoff pH and PPM at 5.9 and 543 respectively - Plant took up a lot of nutes last night (big PPM runoff drop), so raising the medium pH is definitely helping -Plant taking up more water now as well - Light still at 400 PPFD, lights about 24" from top of canopy - Daily minor adjustments of LST to plant ring and grid to keep things flat - Will probably go for one more week of veg, then flip to 12/12, but we'll see how both plants in the tent are doing and the toping recovery is coming along - Chlorosis in the new growth seems to be easing as the pH is coming up in the medium- will keep watching this closely 6/10/24 Not a ton of updates as things are just steady on and no real issues. Plant continues to fill out nicely and is ready for a good defoliation when the 12/12 flip happens at the end of this week. - Recovery from second topping is going great and plant has really filled in nicely - Chlorosis seems to have been resolved now that the pH has been brought back up and stabilized - Regular touch-ups of LST ties, but now starting to let the main colas turn up to get ready for the flowering stretch - Footprint and canopy shape and height are good- nice and flat with decent horizontal space for how it will fill up the tent - No change to water or feed schedule - Runoff pH and PPM at 5.8 and 580 respectively, PPM trend suggests a heavier feeding won't be a problem, so might start to double up feeding days - Taking up more water and neuts now 6/12/24 Steady as she goes, getting close to flipping at the end of the week. Starting to let the colas and tips start to extend upwards now that the mainline is established. - LST is in place and should be good to go for flower now. - Plant is starting to get thirstier - Plant is really ready for a good defoliation before the flip to flower, as the canopy is getting really dense and think. - Leaves are very healthy and green, looks good. Stalk is thickening well and branches look robust and solid. - Starting to make a change to the water/feed schedule with 2 days of feed then 1 day of plain pH water - Runoff pH and PPM at 5.8 and 681 respectively, so feeding a bit more going into flower should be fine
