14.1.25:
I've been readjusting the LST. I just took all the pegs out and reshaped her.
I got some new LST equipment in the mail today, have been glad to have more pegs. I got some clips too, but they don't seem to stay on 😕
I'm currently only using the pegs, I have some thicker soft wire, but I forgot I don't have pliers to cut it!
Also I'm running very low on Biobizz nutrients, so that could be bad 🤞
18.1.25:
I have done another large defoliation on PPP1 and PPP2.
Also, moderate defoliation on all other plants today. All LST ties and pegs are readjusted.
I have turned up the light to 90%. Same distance of between 24-28 inches, depending on height of specific plant.
I have increased the dosage of Biobizz Bio-Grow and Fish Mix to give an extra boost of Nitrogen as several plants were showing yellowing. They have responded very well to this. Unfortunately I ran out of my Biobizz nutrients and PH UP. I'm currently using Bicarbonate of Soda to increase the PH after the nutes PH comes out to about 4.1. Obviously, that uses a lot and I only had a 250ml bottle, which I used last run too.
This run I have 9 plants. The only thing I'm worried about is the salt build up.
Have you used it before? Or any other natural way to increase PH? Please let me know!
I've also added Biobizz Fish Mix to help with the extra Nitrogen needed.
Watering with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients;-
♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix
♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow
♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom
♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max
♡ 2ml Cal-Mag
♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish.
I water with this every 3 days.
I did order some more Biobizz Bio-Grow and Bio Bloom.
I found some at a reasonable price on Amazon. I still have about 800 ml of Biobizz Fish Mix left, too.
It is fairly expensive this time as the plants are hungrier this run.
I also got a new bag of Canna coco, which I may use to add a top dress with some dry amendments.
Which hopefully will save some cash on the bottled nutrients and stretch out until the end of this run without having to buy anymore.
I have purchased a funnel to pour the water. It is difficult, due to the shape of my LST, to water precisely. I have spilt it all over the tent several times 🙄
I've also ordered a 2 litre jug. Currently, I'm mixing water for 9 plants individually in a 1 litre jug. It's tideous. Hopefully, this will solve the issues.
Cleaning the tent after watering every time isn't my idea of efficiency 😅
Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️
@oldskoolkool, Ah yeah, that sucks. Better to be safe than sorry eh?! That's a smart way to go though, cheap and also you can preserve the best phenotypes! 😉🍃👍✌️
I know how you feel.I think 1 of the best things aboiut photoperiod is cloning.I'd do nothing but clones but its still illegal here and having 10 more plants could see me getting locked up and I'm getting too old for all that nowadays.I have done some big grows which would of seen me go away for a couple of yrs.

There's and old saying KISS.Keep it Simple Stupid.They do really well on next to nothing and respond well to stress.They call it possitive stress.Iv just chopped 30% off the top of mine,over 1foot and they'll come back better for it.
Some strains aren't good for training especially heavy training like that, and autos even more so with the 5wk veg.I top and train mine but nothing as heavy as yours.I finished my 2yr affair with autos last year and Im back to photo then its up to me how much veg they get as I like to grow big plants.
@oldskoolkool, I can definitely see how the control over the photoperiods would be beneficial. This is only my second run, and am ready to mess it all up royally! 😅
All my autos were fast buds, I still have around 50 beans in the fridge as I went mad when they had a buy 1 get 1 free offer. He certainly produces some top strains but everyone does nowadays. I didn't train my autos at all,from what I could see it made little or no difference to yield but I do understand the interest.They produced between 3-5 oz each Light leaks are always an issue. I guess its the zips of your tent. You could always throw a blanket or tarp over it.If you're determined to stick with autos check out ones that other people have had good results with.Fast buds have great site and info about their strains and say how vigarous they are.The wedding cheesecake was my fav for growth and strawberry pie for effect.
@oldskoolkool, yeah I've just started the Gorilla Cookies Autoflower by FastBuds and topped it about 14 days old.
It's a very strong and healthy looking plant, so I'm very excited to see this experiment 😄
I can't recommend seaweed/kelp enough.Iv never grown without root boosters and kelp is in all roots boosters all veg boosters and a lot of flower boosters like big bud and cannas boost.You can see your plants pick up.You've alreadu got your humic acid in your top max and they go great together.Biosys has seaweed in it but your plant will wantr more.Don't forget to stand your water for 24hrs as the cholrine kills the microbes in the biosys.
@oldskoolkool, Yes I have liquid seaweed extract, and also use Ecothrive Flourish. I'm right at the end of my Flourish. So this week I'm using the seaweed. Can't deny it's good stuff! I also want to try out some dried kelp that I've found, but this is getting rather expensive 😅
No need to worry about sallt build up with organics.You could probably do with less coco next time 12ltrs is more than enough with 5wks veg.I mix my feed in a big bucket.I'd be soaking the whole pot now with 2ltrs.Big roots=big fruits small roots=small fruits.Roots are often over looked but theyre just as important as the top half of the plant.Look at the size of my plants and they've got around 15ltrs in and I feed every other day for the most part.
@oldskoolkool, I've got 5 gallon pots. I have started to really ramp up the feeding volume, they're indeed very thirsty, and hungry too! They're really getting going on building those fat buds! 😍😋🤤😅
