10/03/24 Short facts:
- started LST on day 13
- Lessons learned: Should have waited a few more days before starting to do LST
- watered 2 x 1l -- 2l
- VPD @ 0.7 -- raised by 0.1
- Light @ 40% - ~460ppfd -- increased by 10%
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for being late with the second week update, but I was really sick. I'm happy that I managed to keep up with taking care of the plants.
This week, I increased the VPD by 0.1 because it wasn’t necessary to maintain such high humidity anymore.
Unfortunately, I’ve got problems with fungus gnats, which is probably no surprise due to the fast-growing clover. Since I’ve been keeping the top layer of the soil moist every day for the clover, it allowed the fungus gnats to lay their eggs. To combat this, I used nematodes.
On Day 13, I decided it was time to start with LST. I used some soft garden wire to stretch the plant to the other side of the pot, exposing the side branches directly to the light. But honestly, I think it was a mistake, and I started a few days too soon with my Lemon Cherry Cookies. She wasn’t as big as the other two plants, and the distance between the internodes is quite small. I guess this is strain-dependent. I should have waited a few more days before starting LST. But I didn’t. Lesson learned. She’s still doing well, though. 😏
@MrGoonai, das hört sich gut an, die Damen sollten in ein paar Tagen wieder strahlen. Für den letzten Lebensabschnitt ist es für die Damen normal das Chlorophyll abzubauen und ihre Blätter in hereliche herbstfarben zu tauchen bei dieser hier erkenne ich jedoch einen Mangel. Nichtsdestotrotz für den 2 ten grow ist es echt klasse geworden! Halte uns weiter auf dem laufenden und drücke dir die Daumen auf eine fette ernte!
@Dendegrow, Danke dir! Ist mein zweiter Grow.
Ich habe diese Woche nochmal Horn- und Knochenmehl gegeben, da sich ein Stickstoffmangel abgezeichnet hatte, da ist auch noch Phosphor drin. Hoffe, dass damit alle Blätter wieder schön grün hinkriege.
@NAS_Garden, Thank you very much!
It really seems, that this is one of these Phenos!
I'll probably going to defoliate her a little bit more in the next week.
@yun23, They are called clover - or Klee in german - they are used as a cover crop. They do help against loosing too much water on the top of the earth. They are also helping in giving the earth around them a little bit of nitrogen. It also helps to establish useful bacteria inside the earth 👍
I also do spray the water my plants are getting, and having them, helps against spraying earth out of the pots 😂
And it also helps the Cannabisplant, when there are fungus gnats, they can eat the roots of the clover😓
