Welcome back!!! It’s the beginning of week four. I now consider this plant to have finished the seedling phase, now move onto the veg stage.
THURSDAY - Day 22
10 October 24
- Switched the blue spec light out for the red spec light.
- 380 PAR/ PPFD at 26 inches distance.
- Topped the two bottom branches.
- Started doing a little LST by adding a few staples and a little bit of branch manipulation.
- She’s slowly shaping to my vision for this plant.
- Gotta start thinking of up potting her soon into her final home.
FRIDAY - Day 23
11 October 24
- Added two more LST staples.
- Just a day under the lights.
SATURDAY - Day 24
12 October 24
Watering day, 1 litre of dechlorinated tap water.
- Base water 1 litre - 61.1 PPM
Final - 1 litre at 6.45 PH at 62.8 PPM
Runoff - N/A
- Thinking of removing those giant fam leaves soon, they’re becoming cumbersome.
- Did my final planned topping of the two top branches.
- I tweaked a top branch and there was a pop at the knuckle, not a complete break but there’s a bit of damage.
- I’m fairly confident that she’ll send resources to fix it and make it even stronger.
- No stress, we push forwards and roll with the punches cause that’s what we do around here.
SUNDAY - Day 25
13 October 24
- Just a day under the lights.
- She doesn’t seem too bothered by yesterday’s branch tweaking.
- There’s a but of a split but it seems to be scabbing over.
- I’ll keep monitoring it over the next few days.
MONDAY - Day 26
14 October 24
- Just a day under the lights.
- Also a good recovery day.
TUESDAY - Day 27
15 October 24
Transplant day into a 5 gallon pot and her final home.
60% Gaia Green Soil
20% Worm castings
20% Perlite
8 Tbsp Gaia Green All Purpose
4 Tbsp Gaia Green Power Bloom
5 Tbsp Diatomaceous Earth
1/2 Tbsp Dynomyco
Amended this mix and transplanted.
Watering day, 5 litres of dechlorinated tap water.
- Base water 5 litres - 61.2 PPM
- Add 2.5 ml Cal-Max - 172 PPM
- Add 5 ml Supermax - 206 PPM
- Add 15 ml Miicrobial Mass - 337 PPM
Final - 5 litres at 6.61 PH at 337 PPM
Runoff - N/A
- Removed the LST staples to let her acclimate to her new home.
- Will resume LST in a few days.
- Removed the lowest fan leaves.
- Some leaves are funky but they also are in the way of the important growth so they may get removed in the near future.
WEDNESDAY - Day 28
16 October 24
- Just a day under the lights recovering from yesterday’s transplant and extended light hours.
- She’s perked back up and looking happy though.
- Probably resume with LST staples tomorrow.
- The tweaked branch looks like it’s going to recover just fine, just a little weary about working it too soon.
This is effectively the end of week four, it’s been quite eventful but we’re done with topping and transplanting so we’ll see how she gets on these next few weeks of pure unadulterated vegetation. Vamos!!
@Hempface86, thanks bro. Yeah Helena is definitely turning into a monster. Hopefully I can keep these girls happy until the end a finally have a grow that didn’t have any issues.
@Hempface86, thanks brother. I messed up a little last night and tweaked one of her branches at the knuckle it split a little bit. I’m not too worried though she’ll send some resources to that location to patch things up and she’ll be stronger down the road.
@PenguPoop, yeah man I’m so looking forward to this strain. Both are going to be great. I can’t wait. Should be ready to smoke by March or early April.
@Papablob, Chu pas encore parti la. Mais ça va venir dans une couple de jours la. J’ai hâte de commencer ça. Ça va etre le fun une bataille de ghost train haze entre le Canada et les pays-bas.
