Lemon SSH, Royal Gorilla, Special Queen #1 - Legal grow, Germany - Waiting since year 1998 edition

16. - 22.05.2024 In advance: Everything (quite) went according to the plan ; ) . But: LSSH still has problems and two branches of the Royal Gorilla were sheared off when attaching the "holding wire". Day 25: Application of lst method on the Royal Gorilla and the Special Queen #1 plants. The Royal Gorilla is first and due to my clumsyness and a really strong wire ... I managed to shear off the lowest two branches of the Royal Gorilla plant. This is a loss : ) , since those branches are quite developed. The lst on the Special Queen #1 plant is not a problem at all and (due to the experiences as made on the Royal Gorilla plant) everything went fine. The Lemon Shining Silver Haze was left out from lst technique since it is still smaller [...]. Day 26: The LSSH is subdued to the lst method. No problems at all. The "rubber band method" (as seen on user profile "einamio") works like a charm and I would recommend it. Basically no harm can be done to the plant with this method and the method is used on day 25 as well. Day 27: The rubber bands are removed, since all the plants kind of adapted to their new orientation. A thinner wire, thinner than the wire used on day 25 and 26, is used to keep the plant's low profile from now on. Decided to top one branch of the Royal Gorilla plant to make up for the two branches lost earlier. Day 28: Branches grow in length and are spread out to open up the plants to let more light to all the new growth. More or less slight defoliation (was often more then expected) to bring light to the new growth. Day 29: Comparable to day 28. Pots are lowered, new distance is 55cm (lamp @75%). Thanks to a comment of a user ("biotabs"). 17k lux. Day 30: Comparable to day 28. A lot of big fan leaves are cut off. Day 31: Comparable to day 28. Photos of the process, as described for day 28, are made. Watering and fertilizing shedule of the week: On day 25 I give 600ml with half the dose of CalMag Pro and Silic Rock. On day 26: no watering. Then, on day 27, I water again with 1000ml and the formula as stated above. Runoff is gathered, pH of the LSSH is 5.8 and the others have 6.3 . On day 29: Watering without fertilizer, 1000ml. Forgot to correct pH on LSSH, as recommended by user "Kratzmann" (will follow with the next watering). Up to today, the pots are well watered and will not loose much water since I have rainy weather with high humidity. To be mentioned: There is one BioTab in each pot. Question of the week: None. Except (maybe) the LSSH topic from last week ; ) . Plan: Continue watching the wet & dry cycle of the earth and water less frequent. Continue use of CalMag and Silic Rock, but only traces of additional fertilizer. Further spread out the new branches and keep the profile of the plants low. Hope you can work with the report / diary. Greetings.
