Hey Honey Let's Go Outdoors

Yey for summer. Its like someone turned the switch on. Summer came with very warm 26°C and temps climbing each day and finally nights are warmer. Plants are loving warmer climate. At day 47 I transplanted them in their final pot of 14l. As you can see the next day plants filled the top of the pot. They started to bush out really nicely so I continued spreading and pulling the branches to side of pot. I've seen one grower tying top of branches to promote side growth, so I gave it a go on one plant for a few days and see what happens. In those 14l pots feeding schedule and watering volume had to be increased. Since the roots still didn't hit bottom of pot, for the first feed they got 1.25l of nutrient solution. I don't want to burn the plants with high concentration of nutrients so I'm staying at lowest prescribed amount which is 5-10ml/l and I'm using 5ml/l. Watering is also increased to 1.25l every second day. I like to keep at least one dry day in between watering. Few days in, I got a TDS meter I ordered month ago. I just had to check ppm of my water at home. One thing I discovered (and it isn't good) is that water is over 500+ ppm. 😱 Unfortunately old pipes are contributing to high ppm and I can't do anything about it until the whole house-reno. I have to think of something about that issue. cya all next week.
