Maui Wowie Seed Supreme

VirginiaGrower It's the start of the new week, and she'd doing wonderfully. I can't wait to see what she does :-) She will be trained as she looks like she could outgrow the tent if I let her go, lol. She will be in her new home by the weekend and into the Big Girl Tent :-) Watering as needed. Update: She made it to the Big Girl tent a little early :-) She's in a 5 gallon pot filled with Fox Farm Ocean Forest, Perlite, Myco, and DE. She was watered at 6.3 with Superthrive before and after transplant.

VirginiaGrower Day 1 of week 2, and she's doing well. She was transplanted into her 5-gallon home a couple of days ago with FFOF. Watering with ph'd water for now, as it's still a little early for added nutrients, other than myco and molasses. Update 2 days in of week 2 and she has 4 sets of leaves and is bouncing back with her color. I've given a touch of Cal-Mag. We are at the end of our 2nd week, and she is doing well, despite an over-abundance of light and wind. As I was preoccupied with everything Christmas, the light distance got a bit too close, causing some light and wind burn, which I have realigned the light to correct ppfd/dli, and backed the oscillating fan down. She is growing her 6th node, and I will attempt to FIM- this grow will be my first attempt to try out this technique when the growth is big enough. I will give her some SuperThrive with her water the day before attempting this to help with stress.

VirginiaGrower Well, the deed is done. She has 6 nodes, and I watered yesterday (wk 2) with SuperThrive, and I Fimmed her today. Although, I've topped before on other grows, this is my first FIM. Hoping I did it right and didn't go too high or too low. Time will tell, of course. I'd love some feedback on the FIM one way or another. I also Fimmed my other 2 plants that are "of age" and will have pics in their respective diaries. I will let her recover, and when I start to see new growth, I really should remove the huge fan leaves. Update: 2 days after her FIM. She also has some brown on the leaves at the FIM site. Otherwise, she is doing well, and has opened up and even started a bit of new growth. Watering as needed. Update: we are 2 days after the last pics. She seems to be really doing well, and it's a blast watching the transformation of her top into no top 😀 She started on 1/8 dose of Foxfarm Nutrients with today's watering. I'm expecting to LST in the nextcday or two. Took several huge fan leaves off of he to open her up. Picture of the Blue Dream shows an average size of the leaves.

VirginiaGrower I started defoliating here and there to remove larger leaves, but mostly to clean up the under the canopy for air movement and light to other nodes. This grow has had a minor fungus gnat infestation, so she's being treated with Mosquito Bits, and has had 2 treatments so far, and 2 more to go. Sticky traps are placed, and I have a very low purple light running during "night-time" while in veg. I've been using a moisture meter (the old-fashioned ones) and waited until it said dry, but I guess she needs to be drier. We will effort that, lol. She had a dose of Fox Farm nutrients last Friday and will be getting another small dose this Friday (tomorrow). Since her FIM she's been growing outward as a primary focus, which was my goal, lol. She is getting LST and tucking, along with the light defoliation.

VirginiaGrower We open week 5 with a Magnesium deficiency. 😣 This was to be expected at some point as I was only feeding about 1/4th dose of cal-mag, and last dose was Friday. She's hollering at me that she needs a larger dose as can be seed in the pic, so instead of 1/4th dose, she was given a 1/2 dose. We'll see how she responds and increase as needed. She is being turned to flower mid-next week, so the cal-mag would need to be increased anyway. Lighting is at 90% with both the main light and the supplemental lights. To keep her PPFD/DLI in check she will go to an 18/6 light schedule.
