At first, the plants were stressed due to high humidity levels. However, now the temperature in the box has stabilized, which should help them recover and thrive. Keeping consistent conditions is key to their health!
In week 2, my plants have shown rapid growth, though the growth hasn't been primarily vertical. To encourage upward stretching, I adjusted my lights to a slightly higher position. The nodes are developing well, and overall, I’m very pleased with their progress.
The third week of growth was mainly marked by the development of nodes and the beginning of the flowering phase.
The first low-stress training was conducted, and the first fan leaves were removed.
Two plants are already in bloom and have experienced their stretch. Unfortunately, during the training, two branches broke off from one plant due to stress.
The other two plants have not started stretching yet, which I believe might be due to a bit too much water.
Next week, I will adjust the amount of water for the plants.
I also switched the light to 300 watts.
In the first week, a phosphorus and magnesium deficiency was particularly noticeable, as I started using the Bloom fertilizer too late. I measured the pH value and tried to counteract the deficiency.
In addition, I removed some leaves.
Now all the plants have started flowering.
Unfortunately, two of the plants are showing severe deficiency symptoms. I assume I was too frugal with the fertilizer.
I tried supplementing magnesium separately, but it didn’t help.
My next step will be to fertilize the two deficient plants with mineral fertilizer.
Additionally, I have removed a significant amount of foliage.
