Hello Diary,
The latest in the line to enter the flowering stage is NYC Sour D.
Given its slow start, it has now clearly become the dominant resident of my small farm.
As you can see from the photos, it has become crowded at the Farm.
The plants have spread and each is trying to get the best for itself.
The GOATlato is in the middle in the Grow box, to the left is Corkscrew and to the right is NYC Sour D.
They lined up nicely from lowest to highest.
NYC Sour D grew an incredible 60 cm in a week.
It has reached a height of almost 1 m and is now very close to the lights which have been raised to their maximum height.
There is a possibility that if it grows another ten centimeters, the very top of the plant will be above the lights.
Despite its size, the NYC Sour D formed a very nice shape.
From the bottom of the plant upwards, you can clearly see that the distance between the nodes is getting bigger and bigger, which shows its rapid growth.
If I compare her with her roommates who are with her in the same conditions, this was not the case with them.
This week I did a little defoliation at the base of the plant, removing leaves and twigs to make it easier to water and to improve air flow in the grow box.
The flowers are starting to form, which can be clearly seen by the much lighter shade of green of the leaves around the flowers.
The leaves look healthy, they are dark green and for now they do not lack any minerals.
That's why I continue to add CalMg with every watering,
I also add Bigger Flowers, which contains an array of enzymes, vitamins, and growth stimulants that are vital to optimal bud formation.
Watering becomes a little more frequent, every two to three days.
You can see from the plants that they hang their leaves on the third day and that's how they tell me that they would like more water.
So now I give them each 2.5 liters with each watering.
The conditions at the Farm are so-so, the temperature is around 30 degrees, which is a few degrees too much, but I can't influence it much.
The air humidity is quite high, around 50-55%, which is the cause of the external weather conditions.
My ventilation is at maximum, but it is not lowered.
Maybe it's the filter that you might need to change.
It's a small grow box and the Migro Aray 4 with 4 lamps obviously raises the temperature quite a bit.
Migro Aray 4 is now at 100% power.
Here is how the first week of flowering looked like.
22/05/2024 - Day 22.
Defoliation and watering.
First, I cleaned the lower part of the plant from leaves and twigs to make it easier to water and to have better air flow in the grow box.
After that I watered the plants.
In addition to the standard CalMg and Bigger Flowers, this week I also added 4 ml of Thicker Flowers which is a PK booster.
25/05/2024 - Day 25.
Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 7.5 liters of water and I watered all three plants with that amount.
28/05/2024 - Day 28.
Photographing NYC Sour D at the end of week 4, measuring the height to see how much it grew in a week
and after all I watered all three plants in the grow box.
NYC Sour D Auto - Day 28. - 97 cm.
That's all from me for this week. All in all, I am satisfied with how the flowers and everything else are developing.
I'm not really happy that it has grown so much, because now it's really a problem to take them out of the grow box for photography.
Thank you all for your visit and support, see you soon.
Nice grow bro💪 I will do 3 Autos from Mike too. Do I understand right ? you using in all your grows, Cal-Mag and flowering trio from RQS notice sometmies you use Grow Tabs, sometimes no? Are you checking EC in your feeds? ✌️
@Atalant,That's right, I put CalMg from the beginning of the vegetation, 1 ml/l. Then from the second or third week of vegetation I start with Bio Flowering Booster. Bigger Flowers first, then after two weeks of flowering I start adding Thicker Flowers and the last two to three weeks I put Sweeter Flowers. Sometimes I dissolve an Easy Bloom Booster tablet instead of the Bio Flowering Booster. I don't have an Ec meter so I don't measure it.
