MAINLINE FRISIAN DEW

mihixd Started her out on 70% soil 30% perlite mixture in 1L pot. It's inside under a light now since the weather conditions arent great. D1: 250 PPFD under humidity dome, sprayed water once til top layer of soil was saturated. D3: Same watering as D1, but twice. D6: pre-saturated the soil with a little water spraying, then 250ML D7: 400 PPFD

mihixd D8: PPFD to 400 D9: PPFD to 475 D10: PPFD to 550, 300ml water (saturation of 1l pot) D11: PPFD to 620 D13: 300ml water D14: Transplant day!! 75L fabric pot, bottom 5cms filled with hydro pebbles. Soil mix: 50% soil, 30% perlite, 20% worm castings. Watered in with 1L +calmag and power roots

mihixd D17: Topped the plant above node 3. I kept nodes 2 and 3, removed node 1. My goal is to create a mainlining structure, but instead of starting with 2 branches, i start with 4. Hopefully I can get a nice cola count before flower. Fan leafs looked a bit shrivelled up, so used my LST stakes to break up the soil around root zone for more oxygen. D19 2L water with novamax grow 1ml/L and plagron powerroots 1ml/L. (2 days later seeing some very minor nutrient burn) Weather hasn't been the greatest here so I'm moving her into the sun whenever I can (hence the trolly). Tomorrow's gonna be heavy storm, but after tomorow its gonna be 30C sunny for a week straight. Hopefully she grows out those 4 branches to where I can top them upcoming week.

mihixd Week started off inside since it was rainy, soil was wet so I let her sit for a few days. D25: Watered with 3L of nutrient solution. Noticed some leaf damage from bugs in evening and applied a foliar spray. D26: Light defoliation to keep middle of canopy clear. Heatwave started with 30 degrees D27: 36 degrees celcius and plant didnt get any light damage or heat stress that I can see on the leafs. Placed in some yellow sticky traps to prevent bugs, watered 4l of nutrient solution. D28: Big storm so had to move all my ladies inside.

mihixd D29 Topped all her main node sites, going from 4 to 8 branches. Defoliated canopy to reduce overlap and promote airflow since I saw minor bites in my leafs. D31 ALL my new growth looked brown? This combined with the increasing biteholes in my leafs told me I had to act. I suspected the brown growth to be a root/overwatering issue so made sure to hold off on watering for now. For the bugs I used a 3% hydrogen peroxide dilluted 1:10 in a spray bottle with water. Sprayed leafs bottom and top till drenched, kept coming back every day to spray whenever i felt like it. D34 No increase in any signs of bugs, all new growth was completely green, new branches growing out. Seems like the treatment worked and decided to feed again since soil 10cm deep was dry. 4L with 0.5:1000 calmag 1.5:1000 grow and 1:1000 PR. Watering slowly to ensure even distribution of water throughout soil, want that rootmass to grow huge! D35 Weather forecast for upcoming weeks looks amazing, moved her outside again. Since the autos im currently running need light priority for early vigorous growth, my Frisian lady had to make do with very low PPFD levels (80-250). All things considered she performed really well this week recovering from bugs, root issues and very low light intensity.

mihixd D38 started softening the branches to prepare for LST in a few days. Pinching twisting etc also snapped a branch :( down to 7 branches.... D40 6L with nutrient solution D41 Bugs loved eating my leafs so gave a good defoliation. D42 LST'd all her branches down to let lower branches get light exposure. Since the weather hasnt been ideal and light inside isnt intense enough, i wont top her further but instead let all her branches grow out.
