DIARY
Plant was given nutrient solution every day when the sun went down in the concentration down bellow
- FloraSeries Gro-->1.8 mL/L
- FloraSeries Micro-->1.2 mL/L
- Flore Series Bloom-->0.6 mL/L
When I mixed all the nutrients in the water the ppm was 840. That is quite high so I diluted the solution with tap water to 590 ppm
Day 50
It was time to bend two new mains, they were long enough to be trained. Firstly I drilled two holes (parallel with mains) into the side of plastic pot. Then I bended one main at the right angle and secured it with electrical wire to a drilled hole. The same was done with the second main, but I was more careful while doing it because the main stem was already under tension and I was afraid it would split. Bend down mains that now resembled letter T were also topped, so I was left with four new terminal shoots.
Day 52
Plant recovered very quickly. Two mains turned upward just after two days.
Day 55
Four new shoots are growing were quickly and are already about 3.5 cm long.
OVERALL PLANT CONDITION
Plant recovered very quickly after topping and bending, it also didn't show any sign of stress. Before bending it was 16 cm tall after bending it measured 12 cm.
Overall plant is healthy and it doesn't look like it suffers from any deficiencies.
Day is about 15 hours long and plant is receiving about 8 hours of direct sun light.
REPORT ON CLONES
Clones are doing OK and look healthy. I watered them every other day with tap water
WEATHER REPORT
Day 50-51
Weather was sunny. Average daily temperature was 30 °C.
Day 52-56
Weather followed similar pattern every day. It was sunny at morning and afternoon, and it was raining in the evening. Temperatures were around 26 °C during day and 19 °C during night. I also captured some clouds (mammatus clouds) with interesting shapes at day 52, they look liked child drew them.
@urbi09, cool!
The photos will take a while to see what they're like, but have a few of their autos going too, so will have a few to try while I wait for the big girls. ;)
Aren’t you going to transplant them? The plant seems to big for that little pot :).
It would be better if you cut the leaves in half from your clones so they grow faster (that’s what I always see what growers do with clones) I never worked with clones so I’m far from a pro lol.
Mine grew like hell last couple weeks, feel free to check them out!
@CoastGrower, you are correct. The plant would need the transplant right now but I am simply too ocupied with school and I still don't have calmag. I want to be sure that the next transplant is perfect in terms of coco medium ( I want to soak it calmag solution for 8 hours).
I have seen some people cut the leaves of their clones, but I simply didn't do it because they were so small...they are doing OK right now...so I dont think there is a need to cut the leaves...
I will also check your diary ;)
@@@Lucimago, I am late by uploading for 2 weeks because plant is already 16 weeks old...and let me tell you....the thickening doesent stop here and I like it haha
Man this is awesome. Very nice work. The topping is as perfect as the design of the plant. Even the Split crack down didn't make critical damages. Congrats
