Cinderella 99

👉Weeks like this are fun. seeing the young blooms growing a little every day. I have plucked a few more lower leaves off that were super shaded. I also trim off small branches growing in the interior of the canopy. Those little bud branches would only produce larf. I only take one or two at a time and don't do it everyday. I will probably stop trimming larf sights next week. Its spreading out nicely and has gained a few inches of height as it stretches. Ive had to adjust the light height a few times to maintain 18". Love seeing the leaves on the bud sites un-furl. In the middle of the spiral of emerging leaves are delicate translucent white hairs. I will start doing microscope inspections and pictures as well as pictures enlarged. i hope to capture the beauty of this magical flower, unfortunately I only have a cell phone camera. 👉The plant has been drinking more and Ive been able to keep the ec in the desired range of 1.58-1.88 EC. I did rinse 2xs with low EC (.43EC calmag and Armorsi only) which were followed by regular nutrient feed. I am giving 2.5L 2x a day on average, as much as 3L. My run-off is usually 50% total volume or more. The runoff of the follow up feeding of regular nutrient solution has been as high as 95%. My run-off volume may seem excessive to some but I wanted to keep the whole pot saturated with full strength solution so there is no loss of momentum. I use low strength rinse that just has the Armorsi and calmag to help keep the whole media as optimum as possible even though I rinse most of it out as well with the follow up fertigation. The solution is not that expensive overall. I make 4 gallon batches at a time every 2-3 days. This may seem like a lot of bother, but I chose this style of growing to give me a lot to do because if I didn't I would just sit there and stare at it anyway. 👉I am changing the nutrient solution mix to the mid-bloom mix on the GHE drain to waste schedule. I will install 3 bamboo steaks to be used later as bud support. The way its looking it will make its own nice canopy and potentially make some good big buds. This is a sativa dominant strain and has slightly thinner branches than an Indica. I hope the buds are big and need some help staying upright. I have a new fan arriving in a couple of days, its 6" variable speed 440cfm. I will re-do the 4" ducting as well. I will place this fan in the tents ceiling port instead of the wall port Im using with the 4" fan. With cooler days coming the tent will experience higher temps because the HVAC doesn't run as much and the 190cfm 4" fan isnt up to the task of moving enough air to keep the heat from building up even though it has a matching fan as the inflow. I have pretty much gotten the tent temperature even from mid-height to the top, and I hope the larger more powerful fan will create enough air movement to prevent what I experienced last spring when on nice cool days outside my tent was 90F (Critical Purple with the heart break of bud rot). Im also using one less light in the tent so I should be able to keep the tent stable and cool.
