12/24/24 Short facts:
- Blumat drip water system active
- 27 cm high
- VPD @ 0.9
- Did some leaf tucking
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The growth is very good, and I’m happy with it. She is now 27 cm tall and has six growing side branches, with more on the way. She’ll likely remain in the vegetative phase for another week, after which she will probably start flowering.
I’ve been practicing some leaf tucking to expose the side branches to more light, and that’s going quite well, although there is one branch that’s growing a bit slower than the others. I’m really trying to avoid stress as much as possible. The only time she experienced any stress was during watering when I set up the Blumats.
I hope this approach will increase her overall size and that she’ll experience a significant stretch during the first two to three weeks of flowering!
The Blumat drip watering system is working, although it’s not yet 100% dialed in. However, I’m going to reach my target range of 100–120 mbar. There has been no overwatering or excessive dryness in the past week, so everything is going quite well.
The root juice and silica are already mixed into the water in the reservoir. Combined with the nutrients already in the soil, this makes the growing process relatively stress-free. I’m really enjoying this approach, it leaves me with more time to spend with the plants instead of constantly mixing fertilizers.
