GIVE THIS GROW A THUMBS UP 👍
WEEK #2 DAY 9:
She was stunted day 6 & is recovering from that currently .
She is in a 5x5 with 3 autos between 35-42 days old .
The plan is to veg this single Cereal Milk out to fill this entire 5x5 once my Autos are harvested .
This is my first run with this cultivar & breeder however it was an easy choice considering I adore the taste , smell, & smoke of the strain!
Week 1 issues:
The tents VPD was out of whack . Due to the VPD being out of proportion slowed/stunted growth occurred equally across all 4 plants in the tent . Plants showed deficiencies of CalMag and interveinal yellowing , necrosis leaf spots , reddening leaf petioles & leaf stems slowly progressing in the worst affected plants to red leaf veins & lastly droplets of condensation on the leaves (plants were sweating)
Anyways after I fixed the VPD issues , I added a makeshift dome for humidity retention of the Cereal Milk & 3 days later which is today she has added 2 new nodes almost catching up to where she would be with normal healthy unstunted growth at day #9.
She was transplanted from her starter pot last night into a 2 gallon with plenty of dry amendments mixed in for a 6-8 week veg.
I’m debating on scrogging this plant or LST & Supercropping the SHIT out of this plant . I’ve never scrogged before and am not welcoming any new learning curves at the moment which is my main reason not to even though I think it may be the biggest help to filling this tent & “supporting” the enormous load of bud sites I am planning to grow .
I worry about to inconvenience of defoliating & training branches down without being able to get around the outside of my tent given its location in a corner .
If I had anticipated wanting to grow a single 2lb + plant when determining my grow location I would’ve placed it more ” openly “.
If I can think up a work around to canopy maintenance so that I can keep it clean & by the books I’ll quit complaining & try it .
Otherwise she’ll be LST’d & Supercropped OR topped and mainlined .
Day 14 END OF WEEK #2 I’ve added remote temperature & humidity monitoring/controller. Now I can monitor the dips & swings while making adjustments to better dial things in .
(Just trying it on for size here , for full disclosure I am not in love with it & if I can not modify what it is that is bothering my existence I WILL be returning this unit AND purchasing another brand with the capabilities I am looking for the connectivity for this specific unit I am trying was a BIG deciding factor for me but all in all is not enough to make me settle on this one if I can potentially have it all. . Odds are highly leaning towards returning this unit .)
Finally raised the pot to level with the older girls in flower currently . I was wrong when I reported in setup that she was “30 inches “ from the light . She in fact was 35 inches‼️away so I raised her to be 26 inches from the light by placing a 1 gallon bucket beneath her .
I WILL NOT LET THE MID-END OF FLOWER & DRYING to cause my run to get derailed
