Part I
Another day and another update from Serpent’s Sweet Garden.
After feeling really shitty over the last few days, I’ve been doing at little as possible (not just in the garden) so my plan has now changed slightly, but more on that later.
Overall, things are going OK as the plants settle into their final pots. KK #1 (and the SS’s) are continuing to bush out as there’s now about 6 - 7 branches around a similar height on each plant. The calcium deficiency also seems to be under control on SS #1 as new growth is looking OK.
KK #3 is still trying to catch up, she also showed a bit of a calcium deficiency, but like SS #2, new growth seems to be OK. KK #2 on the other hand is still a bit of a runt. The calcium deficiency got quite bad with her, which is probably why she’s stunted, new growth however seems to be looking better, so fingers crossed she pulls through.
The original plan was to top KK #1 (and the SS’s) for a second time after they’d been in their finals a day or two, but that went out the window as I left it a bit late and to get an even canopy I’d have had to top 6 or 7 branches on each plant, which I didn’t want to do. So to control height, I’ve now fitted the scrog net and also topped KK #2 & #3 so they bush out a bit more.
I’m still holding off the grow nutes, but I’ll be keeping an eye on them as they’ll be getting hungry soon but for the moment feed is still:
0.25ml per litre Aptus Startbooster
0.5ml per litre Plant Magic Bio-Silicon
1ml per litre Plant Magic Catalyst
1ml per litre Shogun CalMag
It’s taken a couple of goes to get use to the Root Pouches as last feed, they took on 2 litres each so I think initially I wasn’t feeding them enough. I’ve also given them a bit of a trim, mainly KK #2, to get rid of any lower dying leaves.
The plan now is to fill out the net over the next week or so, then I should be good to switch to 12/12.
Part II
Not a huge amount to report as I’m now starting to tuck the tops under the net, mainly KK #1 and the two SS’s which are responding well. KK #3, although not looking the best is still growing, while KK #2 is continuing to catch up.
I’m still holding off the grow nutes, so for the moment, they’re still getting:
0.25ml per litre Aptus Startbooster
0.5ml per litre Plant Magic Bio-Silicon
1ml per litre Plant Magic Catalyst
1ml per litre Shogun CalMag
They’re also thirsty girls as last feed, the three older plants got around 2.5L each, and the younger plants just over 2 litres each.
