Part I
It was looking like a bit of a jungle in Serpent’s Sweet Garden and some of the lower leaves were a little worse for ware, so I’ve started stripping both dying and healthy leaves/branches from under the net.
I’ve not gone to town, and haven’t removed any fan leaves from the canopy as I didn’t want to stress them out too much, so over the coming days I’ll continue to defoliate.
The emergency repair on SS #2 still seems to be holding out as I had a good look while I was crawling under the net, the main stem probably isn’t quite as thick as SS #1, but everything is going in the right direction.
Part II
Another update from Serpent’s Sweet Garden and sadly this will be the last time I’ll mention Killer Kush #2 :(
She’s been struggling from quite early on and with hind sight I probably shouldn’t have topped her and held off the grow nutes. After two and half week in flower, she’s only just peeping through the net and also takes an extra day to dry the pot out so tonight I’m going to get rid. Call me paranoid, but with a couple of growers having hermie issues, I’m getting a little worried that she’s stressed and might throw out a nanna or several, so better safe than sorry.
The others though I’m pretty happy with how things are going. They’ve had a bit more of a stretch, so I’ve bent over a couple of the taller colas and supported them to the net, I might also do a bit more once KK #2 is gone as they’ll have a bit more room. They’re also starting to bust out trichs on the sugar leaves, small amounts at the moment and I’m looking forward to seeing how they develop into crystally goodness.
That said, there’s still a touch of paling, mainly SS #1 so last feed I upped the bloom to 2ml, but when I feed them tonight, I think I’ll up it to 3ml per litre although I could have had a touch of lock out with the battle I’ve been having with temps. They’re also taking on about 2.5 litres each every other day and the current concoction is:
2ml per litre Plant Magic Oldtimers Bloom
0.5ml per litre Plant Magic Bio-Silicon
1ml per litre Shogun CalMag
As for temps, they’ve been OK lights on, but lights off has been a struggle as we had snow here yesterday and ambient temps plummeted so last recording was…
Lights On: 26-28C / 38-43% RH
Lights Off: 17-19C / 46-50% RH
Part III
The scissors came out once again as I gave the four remaining plants a bloody good trim under the net. They were also due a feed so I upped the bloom nutes to 3ml per litre, this time each plant got 3 litres as they’re thirsty girls and feed is now…
3ml per litre Plant Magic Oldtimers Bloom
0.5ml per litre Plant Magic Bio-Silicon
1ml per litre Shogun CalMag
Temps also similar to yesterday at…
Lights On: 25-27C / 38-43% RH
Lights Off: 17-19C / 44-48% RH
Part IV
Things are coming along nicely with good bud and trich production on all four plants. The branches are also stiffening up, the sweet canna smell is also getting more intense and KK #1 is still my fave as she’s leading the way.
I’ve held off from doing anymore trimming, but I’ll more than likely get the scissors out again in a few days to get rid of some of unwanted foliage.
SS #1, although showing good bud production, she’s still got yellowing of the leaves. The intake is next to her (at pot level), so I’m going to try and reroute it so it’s more central as I’m sure she’s got a touch of lockout.
As for feed, it’s still the same at…
3ml per litre Plant Magic Oldtimers Bloom
0.5ml per litre Plant Magic Bio-Silicon
1ml per litre Shogun CalMag
And temps are a little better at…
Lights On: 26-28C / 33-38% RH
Lights Off: 19-20C / 46-50% RH
