Not much has happened this week just a little stretching! It turns out I don’t know how to tell sex well quite yet, 3 more turned out to be males but now I’m sure these are all female plants because they’re growing white hairs!
The crow is growing way taller than the other ones so I tried so very very low stress training without any proper bending, just pulling it more to the side slightly. Since I don’t want to stress it out too much that’s why it’s still slightly taller than the rest. Another one is definitely shorter than the rest, I think when I defoliate I may have not done as well on that because all of them popped up except that one after a big defoliation.
I changed nutrients (again) to Jacks 321 blend. After a lot of research this seems to be a very affordable, simple nutrient regimen that will allow me to do a perpetual setup with minimal mixing because for those who don’t know, with Jack’s you feed the same thing for the majority of the plants life, and early on in it’s life you just dilute the 3-2-1 formula to a lower percentage. The plants are loving it so far, I was worried about switching nutrient brands mid grow but it’s going to save me a lot of time with the other two grows that are starting. I’ll keep this posted but as of now I recommend the Jack’s 321 nutrient mix for ease of use. I’ll upload pictures of my new plants soon, they were turning yellow and not looking great but seem to be turning around after using jack’s instead of general hydro.
All I’m looking at now are microbes I could add, I used Photosynthesis Plus on my last grow and I think it made a difference, so I plan to pick up more because I used it all, but it seems like adding Mammoth P, Tribus, Great White, Recharge, or something as well would help greatly but I’m having difficulty deciding which to choose.
I have FastBerry from FastBuds as well as 3 Bears OG and Double Grape from Mephisto popping up this week, stay tuned! :)
Loving the diary its helping me learn as I wrap up my second week! How long have you been growing for and using jacks for? I planned to use Jacks 321 and follow the full strength recommendation and do what greengenes on YT suggests. What mix of jacks or what formula do you us and at what strength? Im just about to move my girls in the rapid rooter to their 2 gallon pots today in Happy frog soil. Any advice for feeding strength or if I should this early on this first transplant watering?
Im already experiencing some trauma with my girls in the first two weeks lol learning curve is hitting me already.
Thanks for any advice you may be able to give!!
