Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto x2 - Banana Purple Punch Auto x2 - FastBuds
Welcome to Diary Number -3-! Second grow is still ongoing but seeing as im addicted to growing this stuff i figured i start this one even earlier than the last :) We have 2x Banana Purple Punch on the Plate, just because the first time they have been such a blast and fun to grow, and accompanying them this time is 2x Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto!
Not much to see here for now, they were just dropped into water. This time, ill grow in 5L Airpots and slowly switching away from Biobizz and towards Plagron.
07/02 they soaked in water for 48 hours - they all cracked open and have a tad of a taproot sticking out. Now i potted them in!
All sprouted and broke through soil!
Disclaimer for the whole run: I started naming them for my ease of documenting, "BPP #2" also sounds kinda whack. Three are named after Valkyries, not because of any whacky political affiliation, just because i like the sound of the names. One is named after someone special :)
Also, from here on out, BPP = Banana Purple Punch, LCC = Lemon Cherry Cookies
Stay tuned for more!
11/02 First Watering, 100ml with 4 ml/L of rootjuice. will ramp up dosage quickly once the dome comes off, hopefully in the evening when my humidifier arrives!
13/02 Watering! 300 ml with 4ml/L of rootjuice
14/02 VPD dialed in at around ~0,62-0,65 kPa. Size: Cara, Eir, Herja = 5 cm, Gunnr 7 cm
15/02 Watering, 500 ml, 4ml/L rootjuice, 1ml/L Grow
Welcome to week 2!
17/02 no watering yet. Im content with the grow rate. they also all look healthy and are similiar in speed to each other. Looking forward to whats to come!
19/02 0.7L of 2.5 ml/L Grow and 4 ml/L Rootjuice @1.2 EC 6.0 PH. Should last a while now!
Week 3 well under way!
This week started off with some LST on Day 13/14, and some "HST" sprinkled in for good measure (removed the node pointing down after training). i also removed one Fan leave that would overshadow the lower outwards-trained node on every plant. So far, they've been responding well, though i also must add im not really overdoing it with the LST, i'm mainly just looking to get 2 main branches instead of one. Still learning!
Watered on 24/02 with 1L of PH 5.8 water, 2.5 ml/l grow, 4 ml/l rootjuice. seeing some minimal signs of what i would diagnose as nuteburn on some of the newer shoots on some plants. so ill keep the dosage right where it is, only fading out rootjuice over the next 1-2-3 waterings, depending on how i feel lol
01/03 Watered with 1 L, 5ml/L grow, 4 ml/L rootjuice, 1.6 EC, 5.9PH
02/03 Scrogged
06/03 Week 4 well underway, watered 3 of them with 1.2L of 2 ml/L Rootjuice and 4 ml/l grow, since they started to show slight signs of nuteburn i downed the dosage a bit. 4th one still not quite there, will get watered tomorrow.
Also did some defoliation of all inward pointing and the lowest set of leaves, so 3 leaves per plant got removed. looks like a lot since those leaves were BIG!
Flowering is well under way!
one of the Banana Purple Punches is already kind enough to start purpling!
Rootjuice has been faded out to 0.
Watering on 13/03 with 4 ml/L of terra bloom, 1,4 EC, 1.5L each per plant
Watering on 16/03 with 5 ml/L of terra bloom, 1.6 EC, 1.5L each per plant
Defoliated today, hopefully for the last time. Mainly the insides of every plant where it gets too bushy.
i used the trellis net in the early week of veg just to help me spread the branches out, now im unsure of what to do with it (continue, dont continue etc) since im pretty happy with how the plants turned out training wise. it still functions to hold my humidity sensors i can check over my feed so its not "useless" lol
Week 6 begins with some watering, currently every third day, so two days in between. Dosage for now is 5ml/l of bloom at around 1.5-1.6 EC, 5.8-5.9 PH.
Did some light Defoliation (very light). removed the training stakes and wires. they looking beautiful and healthy. Net is back in action!
22/03 Watered with 1.5L, 5.8 PH 1.6EC each. Light Defoliation
24/03 watered AGAIN after 2 days with 1.5L 5.9 PH 1.5 EC, 5ml/L of Terra Bloom.
So far im really happy with plagron. Just one bottle for grow and one for bloom and the plants look healthy and show no signs of deficencies. really happy with the product. Moreso than biobizz, where i used Grow, bloom, calmag, activera and topmax and still fought deficencies here and there.
I also am conflicted about the trellis net. I like what it does but i think my tent is too full with plants or too small to really enjoy it growing-wise. I cant move the plants and its hard to reach them during watering. So i removed it again. its an on/off relationship with us :D
I also did some more defoliation, PROMISE ITS THE LAST TIME. i took out the plants of the tent for it to better reach the insides of them and made some nice videos of their progress so far.
ALSO: Tent smells really good and overwhelming when i open it! sadly, it escapes pretty fast so ill put "normal" smell on here. but its decent!
