Day 29 25/10
Condition:
Still going strong, maybe too strong. I think I have made an error in judgement, managing two plants in this tent is going to need more strict training. Currently LST gets updated near every day.
Still they are growing well, the tips of stems are getting lighter so we are in pre-flower. Not the best time for me to defoliate I know, but so far its just one leaf from BP. One leaf I could not find a way to train out without it covering another flowing site as the damned thing is 20cm across! This is only a 45cmsqr footprint tent!
I will be doing a slow defoliation over the next week, not looking to hit the 20% rule, just the bare minimum to to make sure I can get air and light through.
Setup:
net fro ScrOG will come in this week, after I have gotten the plant to shape. I'm going to monitor air flow a little closer and see if I need another fan to keep things fresh or if the extractor fan is enough.
Nutes:
I'm just following the BioBizz recommendations, while I think these plants could be raised to monsters by upping the levels. Seeing how they have grown I would actually be putting my self in a harder place to manage in my mini set up.
Day 33 29/10
Condition: all seems pretty good, flowering sites are coming in fast and well defined. The defoliation I put the plants through seems to have barely phased it (I went for the lighter side) tempted to sneak in a few cleaning cuts of some lower leaves that are struggling due to being manhandled during watering. The plants are also taking pretty well to the ScrOG net that I set up. Smell is strong green classic cannabis smell atm.
Setup:
ScrOG net in place looks like I might squeak through on humidity, dropped some big dehumid packs into some of the slower moving air areas just in case.
Nutes:
No change just the good old BioBizz for their light soil. As I wont be messing with this now I will stop mentioning it unless an issue comes up.
Halfway through grow Thoughts:
If these keep getting bigger, I might have to see if a fellow farmer I know who harvested a month ago could take one of them on to flower and finish as they are much bigger than my first run.
I have three more seeds for these and next time I'm putting just one of them in a slightly larger pot and want to try topping with LST and a heavy nute schedule, I reckon you could get a real heavy producer from just that.
