I think my first topping attempt has been successful. Also it looks like she handled me trimming her lower growth. I did this because I don't see the point of letting that growth continue and take nutes from prime growth if I plan on lollypoping her anyway. I waited for the tops to start growing and only removed growth from 1 node at a time with a 2 day break between defoliation.
I usually use RO water for the garden but it looks like she is starting to yellow slightly. My grandma always told me that Epsom salts will make plants more green because of its magnesium, with no Epsom salts available I just let some tap water dechlorinate with an airstone for 24 hours. This should supply some magnesium and calcium until I transplant into 1 or 3 gal fabric pots with more Gaia Green mixed in. Any opinions on what size pot to go up to next? I can't grow monsters though with my limited space.
@Alb1331, hey man! Thanks for checking out my diary 😆
My grow is based on Mr Canucks Grow on YouTube. I use Coco coir but I amend it in a similar manner to a soil type grow with slow release organic amendments. I also eye out about 10% perlite.
If using bottle nutrients in coco you need to pH between 5.5 and 6.2 for proper nutrient uptake but in this style we try to promote microbial life in the Coco so we pH between 6.5 and 6.8.
This method is SUPER easy. I will transplant around week 4 into more Coco pre mixed with Gaia Green in a 5 gal fabric pot. then every 3 weeks after that I will top dress with more Gaia Green. All you need to do is water when dry pH between 6.5 and 6.8. I stop top dressing 5 weeks before harvest to allow her to fade. 2 days of darkness with dry medium before hanging to dry for as long as possible.
Sorry bro I got carried away! That's the whole method pretty much.
@Sweet_Seeds, thanks again Apolo, happy to have you with me again 😜
I'm super excited to see how she goes compared to your auto genetics! She is growing with much more vigor so far!
Cheers again guys, glad I got to experiment with so many of your genetics! 🤙🤙
Hi buddy!
Try transplanting to 7-liter pots. If you don't have enough space, you can do pruning to control their size and height. 😊
Good luck!
Sweet smokes,
