It's been a bit of a rocky week for all the plants, things popping up all over the shop but I'm putting it down to being a noob. Light distances/intensity issues and plenty of upcurling leaves from being a proper wally with my nutes.
In terms of blooming, ol' Jackie is looking good. Her bud sites are nice and plentiful but they're rather airy and whispy with pistils, this could be due to their genes and phenos though so we'll see how it pans out for her in due course (the same issue is going on with one of the royal bluematics I'm growing) but as I said, the buds are there and looking alright....just fatten up babies!!
If you can see on the pictures, the leaves that face the middle of the LED are bleached and weathered. I've hightened the light and gave the LED rig a jig and got some more efficiency out of it in terms of height and PAR intensity, I'm still needing to purchase a PAR meter but I have learn't that this 600w does kick out some and if there's a plant directly below it then that's some light blasting down on the poor plant. With my next grow I'm only dealing with 2 plants so the light share will be much better and make much better use of said PAR :)
As for the feed I've notched Guanokalong Bloom up to 0.3ml but keeping CalMag and Rootbastic the same now throughout the grow. I'm keeping the pH at 6.3 as they seem to like it. I'm hoping this week we'll start to see fatter buds and better leaves. Today's album played to them was 'Leftfield - Rhythm & Stealth'
Hi there!
I've gone and done some LST to my plants, you can see it pictured above.
Have I gone over the top with it and was it a bit late in starting? I'm also now thinking of lowering my 600w LED from 60 to 50/45cm for the now LSTed branches. Worth it?
Cheers
Hey Jedi!! Your LST looks fine not overboard at all👍 and no your not to late at all it can be done at any stage pretty much. and yes you can lower your light a bit if you want to just make sure to keep a close eye on it at first just to make sure it's not going to burn the plants Looking Good!!
@Red_i_jedi, when they do that stretch they really suck the nutes. The strains I've tried really could tolerate a lot of nutes during the growth phase.
@goodgrow, since this picture its stretched another 8cm or so... I'm fretting a bit as I don't have the grow space hahaha.. Whoops. I'll be updating here tomorrow so check the stretch :/
