FC Auto, GR Auto, Speedrun Seeds, 2nd Grow

12-9-2024 - Again, starting the week a day early but it was time to feed so it is what it is. This morning, all three plants received 3 Liters of water PH'd to 6.5, dose of Recharge, dose of Silica, and a dose of Sweet Berry. Next Tuesday I will top dress all three with Power Bloom and that will be the last time I top dress these plants. From there forward its just going to be recharge and sweet berry to try and finish these out strong. The plants are looking very healthy, they're drinking over a half gallon of water per day at this rate and so my expectations are that the buds are going to start putting on size over the coming weeks. I feel like I'm past the hard parts now and looking forward to watching these plants mature. Pretty much just watching them closely, they have the size I wanted so now its just a matter of getting the flowers to harvest without botching them up. 12-10-2024 - Did some pretty heavy defoliation due to it being so cramped in the 3x3. Should have gone with 2 plants but it is what it is. Plants continue to stretch slowly and they are now 26 inches tall. There are so many bud sites all over these plants its hard to believe that they'll all make it through to harvest. I'm growing concerned about how tight its getting in the tent. Other than that, the girls are very thirsty and are now going through almost a gallon of water per day. Looking forward to seeing the buds fatten up over the coming weeks. 12-11-2024 - Today I realized that despite my best efforts I'm going to have to change the watering schedule. This week I've been watering 3 Liters every other day....I think I'm going to go to 2 Liters every day since they are drinking so much. Also today I top dressed all three plants with some Power Bloom (2-8-4) and this will be the last time I top dress for the rest of the run. I gave them a little bit of Sweet Berry today as well. Going into week 8 I'll stick to Recharge, Silica and Sweet Berry until January when I'll start water only until they're done. Fingers crossed, just gotta get them to the finish line at this point. 12-13-2024 - Almost through 7 weeks since planting. These plants continue to amaze me compared to my first run. They are literally bursting out of the tent now. Flower development continues to go well and they are drinking 2 Liters of water per day. Tent conditions are perfect running a VPD ~ 1.3-1.4, RH at 55% and temps at 75F consistently. Will only use Recharge and Sweet Berry the rest of the run, Grow Dots and top dressing with Power Bloom seem to be impacting well. More next week!
