Missed a few days, been busy. Plants are still chugging along happily. I swapped their position in the tent, as the larger one is more of a pain to get out when I need to defoliate or do other management on them. I've started using a Foliar Fertilizer spray once a week, and I have defoliated leaves that were blocking lower nodes. The smaller of the two got a more serious top and chop, as the larger is already developing nicely, and I am catching the smaller one up to what I have already done for the bigger one. Still have the runt growing, and I put it back in the tent for some more substantial light, as I topped it pretty heavy. I seems to be recovering well, but it will always be the runt of the litter. The two big plants are going through a half gallon of water each every 3 days or so. I am still just watering with water PH'd to 6, no additional nutes.
Tonight I am topping the branches of the larger plant. It currently has the main stem topped at the 3rd node, and now I am topping the 4 lower node branches to give me a total of 10 main stems (hopefully 10 cola sites). Also giving them another foliar spray down.
09/13/24 - Both plants have adjusted to LST very well. I staked down their branches to be aligned horizontally with the soil, giving more light to the lower canopy. I staked them on the 11th, adjusting their position lightly, and then I adjusted them even further on 12th. Plenty of new growth is showing now as a result. I've also continued to prune any fan leaves that get too big or block lower nodes, usually around 4 leaves every other day, Less often on the smaller plant. The larger plant has always shown vigorous growth and rebound ability, so I am more willing to be consistent with pruning it, knowing it won't hinder the growth of the plant for a day like it does for the smaller one.
09/14/24 - Last night I defoliated leaves blocking lower developing branches and then watered them with a full dose of CalMag (about a half gallon of water for each of the large plants) to help with recovery. I've removed them from the tent 4 hours before my lights kick off (but they are still under my normal house lights to keep their cycle), and I gave them another foliar spray down. I will be putting them back into the tent 20 minutes before their light goes off and they have dried out enough to avoid light burns. This has been a fairly stress heavy week for the plants with all the LST, Topping, and Defoliation. I plan to let them recover untouched for the next 2 days at least so I can go into week 5 fresh.
09/15/24 - Plants seem to be recovering well, enjoying the calmag and foliar spray. I swapped the position of the plants in the tent again, which may be confusing in the photos (my bad).
- I have also started 2 autoflower seeds, which I may end up including in the tent if the flowering lines up well with these LSSH's flip, which I plan to do around week 8 -
Hey growmie, your babies look great, don't worry they gonna develop into strong beautiful ladies! I guess if it's been 10 days since planting the seeds, then they must be around 5-6 days old. Also it doesn't really matter because I had plants that looked underdeveloped during first couple of weeks but they grew to become biggest yielders ;) Enjoy your grow!
Damn dude looking good!! Taken some notes already since my LSSH's seem to lack behind a lot, but I made big mistakes in the beginning so its nice to see what they could already look like if i'd taken more care :D
good job at controlling the pest dude.
Happy Growing!
