GROW DAY 36
(day 1 of wk 6)
Another week starting at the garden.Nothing much going on today besides speayong with water and some additional LST.Mainly just moving some of the bigger leaves shadowing bud sites and bringing them on the same level with each other wherever possible.
I started the LST quite late in the game in my opinion and therefore got quite varied plants.Couple of them have a clear one big main cola thing going on and some are more of a SoG structure.Imo in general it seems like a good harvest coming up:)
GROW DAY 37
(day 2 of wk 6)
Watered with 0,6l/plant, adjusted nutrients a bit by increasing Bio-Grow to 3ml/l. I moved the plants down on the floor as they´re bigger now and I have a properly adjustable light fixture. Earlier they were on top of boxes with with open bottoms to allow better drainage, but now when they are on the floor I´ve seemed to have hit some problems. Couple of the plants show signs of what I figured is overwatering due to poor drainage and subsequent nutrition lock. Leaves are drooping quite unhappily and turning yellowish. At least the drainage part should be it as they seemed better after I made the holes on the bottom of the pot larger and added pieces of wood under the pots to lift them little bit from the floor.
I think I´ll water with plain water couple of times this week and see how the plants react. Most plants are darkish green, so this shouldn´t cause any problems nutritionally for the healthy plants.
GROW DAY 38
(day 3 of wk 6)
Added couple of pics to follow up on the recovery of the plants afftected by drainage problems.
GROW DAY 39
(day 4 of wk 6)
Took some pictures in normal room lighting of the plants that took the most damage from the drainage issue. I cut out some of the smaller and lower bud sites while I was at it to allow the plant to better focus energy on the upper parts.
GROW DAY 40
(day 5 of wk 6)
Couple of plants show a mix of symptoms I figured were due to overwatering with poor drainage.This seened to have caused a build up of nutes and maybe the PH is messed up too.Watered with plain water this time although I’m aware plants need to adjust a little interfering with growth but I guess this won’t hurt if I’ not making a habit of it.
GROW DAY 41
(day 6 of wk 6)
Some nice flowering going on.Some more LST to bring lights where it’s needed the most.Some of the plants still seem troubled.
GROW DAY 42
(day 7 of wk 6)
I seemed to have made an amateur mistake placing the pots in almost direct contact with the concrete floor.The root temperature has quite possibly been too low and caused part of the problems. Luckily most of the plants didn’t mind that much and I noticed an immediate change for the better with the problem plants too when I added insulation for the riits and lifted then higher from the floor level.
Also made a foliar spray from Algamic (3ml/l) and Activera (1ml/l) and sprayed the plants all over not forgetting the undersides of the leaves.Plants seem to react positively.
