Part I
Another day and another update from Serpent’s Sweet Garden as things start to get a bit more interesting
The girls are well into their stretch and seem to be getting bigger every day. I’ve not really given them a trim yet, but as there’s now plenty of foliage, I’ll get the scissors out in the next few days.
I’ve done a little bit of tucking, but not as much as I normally do as the net has quite big squares, so the canopy isn’t as even as I would like, but at the same time, it isn’t too bad.
SS #2 after my mishap is also still going strong, so at the moment, it looks like my emergency repair is working.
I’ve also kept the grow nutes on 2ml, the feed chart says 3-4ml at this stage, but I like to be cautious. Still no bloom nutes, but I’ll be starting them soon, so at the moment, feed for KK #1 & #3, plus the two SS’s is currently…
2ml per litre Plant Magic Oldtimers Grow
0.25ml per litre Aptus Startbooster (every other feed)
0.5ml per litre Plant Magic Bio-Silicon
1ml per litre Shogun CalMag
As for KK #2, she’s starting to look a little bit healthier, I think I’ve been overfeeding her a bit, as the last couple of feeds, she didn’t get any grow nutes and is looking better for it, so she’s currently on…
0.5ml per litre Plant Magic Bio-Silicon
1ml per litre Shogun CalMag
Temps have also not been too bad at:
Lights On: 26-27C / 41-45% RH
Lights Off: 18-20C / 56-58% RH
I would like to lower the RH a touch, especially during lights out, so I’m hoping once trimmed, it’ll improve air flow, if not, I’ll just get a couple of cheap damp tramps and see how that goes.
Part II
I’m pleased to report, with the exception of KK #2, everything is going in the right direction. Stretch has slowed down as the buds start to develop and its noticeable the smell is now getting stronger, not too intense but I expect that’ll come over the next few weeks.
As for KK #2 she’s still hanging in there and although a long way behind the others I think stopping the grow nutes early has helped a little, so we’ll see how it goes, but in all honesty, I not expecting much.
The others though, I’m really happy, there’s possibly a touch of K deficiency on a couple of the plants, but I’ve stopped Startbooster and grow nutes and started them on Oldtimer’s bloom. Only 1ml for now (feed chart says 3ml), but as it’s been mentioned on here, there’s definitely been a change to the formula as it’s not as thick or dark as it used to be, so I’m expecting I’ll need to up them fairly quickly. I’ve also been fleeced for a bottle of Oldtimer’s PK 4-8 which I’ll probably start using after a couple more.
So last feed, the concoction on all plants was…
1ml per litre Plant Magic Oldtimers Bloom
0.5ml per litre Plant Magic Bio-Silicon
1ml per litre Shogun CalMag
Temps have also been OK at…
Lights On: 26-28C / 39-44% RH
Lights Off: 19-20C / 48-52% RH
