The plant isn't growing much due to the lack of sunlight during the day. However, the damaged branches survived, so I removed the tapes.
Day 45: Soil was dry after the heavy rains of the last days. Gave 4l of tap water with
- 5ml Calmag Agent
- 10ml Cannazym
- 10ml Canna Terra
- 20ml Root Juice
I will no longer adjust the pH, as the tap water is too high and the rainwater is too low, so it balances itself out.
Day 46: Soil is still moist.
Finally some sun the last 2 days and if weather prognosis is correct it will stay like this for now. Hopefully we will see some development, plant had a lot of stress and didn't develop as it could have.
Day 48: Sun is shining, the weather is sweet πΆ. Really happy with her recent development, gives me hope for a happy end.
Edit: Had to give a small dosage of water again: 2l tap water @pH6.5 with
- 2ml Calmag Agent
Thanks fo reading and happy growing everybody!
@Sonic27, Adding some more things that are important in my opinion:
- first plan your layout, then start training
- don't top too early: side branches need some substantial growth and the main stem needs to be thick enough
- same applies for side branches (in this diary I was too early for example)
- be gentle when applying LST
- don't use thin wire for LST, it can cut into stems that break when they grow further
- when stems don't properly bend, give them a slight pinch, that way they get softer
- don't cut off too much plant material (as stated earlier)
Hope this helps. β€οΈ
@Sonic27, Thank you!
I am a noob myself π. People have different preferences when it comes to mainlining. As you can see in the pictures I kept most of the fan leaves, at least for a short time period after doing a cut. Imo that is important so the plant can do photosynthesis. Other people sometimes cut them off which looks kind of cool and clean but could stunt the plant more.
Best way to learn is to try it yourself. Then you will see what works best for you. Best of luck mate! π
