Ms. Bikini splitting issues really isn’t getting much better yet. Either I’ve been too aggressive with her or she just isn’t as flexible as the other girls, or a bit of both. This is the first time I’ve had a plant split like this, Ms. Bikini has split in a 3 places and it’s bad. This week she got a split on the main stalk at the first mainline T, plus she still has one at each end of the second mainline T. Treated each one with some cloning agent as I read that helps to repair. Once side I also use some gorilla tape to wrap it but I couldn’t really close it.
I applied the cloning agent to the secondary T’s every day for several days in a row, and the leaves on the sides getting the cloning agent started to get burnt tips all the way down the serrated leaf edge. Clearly it’s soaking up a lot of nutes and causing some leaf issues.
Ms. Bikini is definitely getting stunted by this splitting, and my Naughty Nurse (Painkiller) and Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) ready to flip to flower, threatening to take over the tent and eat my Bikini Girl if I let them. I’d like to give her more time to recover but the pressure is on to flip and I don’t have anywhere else to move Ms. Bikini.
@NomNom, I was planning at the beginning to veg for 6 week which would have been mid April, but the way she’s growing I may have to switch at the end of next week, I have to be careful, I only have a 7’ tent and my brand new “Ceramic HPS” from hortilux recommends 3’ from the canopy. 😲😳🤯 , so I have to be careful. This was my first grow enriching my tent with co2 and man does it seem to speed thing up.
‘Twas doing research recently and got sidetracked reading about Bikini Atoll. At the time I couldn’t recall why it was so familiar ... I was thinking of your amazing plant diary. Subconscious brain buds. All hail NomNom.
@@BeanswithPork, Awesome!!! Fun fact not many people know. The bikini bathing suit was named after the place Bikini Atoll where the nuclear tests were conducted.
I'm sorry for the difficult thing you are having with your plant but just wanted to comment about your stress training in your plans that is very impressive even this grow looks very impressive nobody could tell that had such severe damage to it I hope you good luck with your grow.
I used paper tape for paint masking, just i glued it in certain way, for expanding branch to have space :
You do one layer only and leave a bit glued to each other. Basicly tape goes into spermataziod shape ;)))
0 around branch
- glued to each other
0- worked perfectly to me. In veg you made maybe a favour yourself. Extra pump capacity....
You can take it off after a month.
