Ice Cream Cake in Hydro (DWC)

MontanaManMedical The week count is not an accident. I was using different nutrients and had some reservoir problems. Over a month later after switching back to Lotus, replacing the reservoir as I did, and the plant has finally bounced back. I’ll be switching over to flowering starting on Saturday. Given that this is apparently a 75% Indica, I doubt it will stretch that much. I’m not sure the breeder, as it was a freebie I got a year or so ago. I’m curious what I’ll get after the roughly 8 week flowering time.

MontanaManMedical I switched to 12/12 on Saturday, so this Saturday will be the 1st week of flowering and this diary will be updated on Saturday from now on. As you can see, growth is steady and the plant looks hardy. I’m curious how much stretch I’ll get with such a heavy indica.

MontanaManMedical The first week of flowering has passed and the plant is already showing signs of flowering. The stretch wasn’t that bad so far, and the color on the newer leaves is nice. The plant might stretch a few more inches in the next week or so, but I’m not worried about it getting too close to the light.

MontanaManMedical She’s still stretching, so I’ve begun to pinch the stems to keep that to a minimum, as I don’t want the canopy much taller than what it currently is. I’m not pinching the lower branches yet, so hopefully the plant will redirect the energy into those branches, which hopefully will be the same height as the higher ones are right now. I’ve cut off the Myco+ and Nitro-Mino, as well as the amount of Cal-Mag, as the plant was showing signs of a little too much. I’ll see how she looks next week and make further adjustments if necessary. I’m used to more nitro and other nutrients, as I love Sativas and have learned to deal with their stretch. The addition of Boost should cause rapid bud development.
