2/17:
I spent a little time rearranging today. I bought some 32" x 14" plastic ventilated storage shelves and cut the legs down on two of them so I have some different-height platforms for the shorties in the garden. I should also be able to easily flush 6 plants in 5 gallon pots, or 9 plants in 3 gallon pots at a time now, that's a win!π
2/18:
I debated whether to feed or not, and settled on watering them with about 1/2 gallon each. including bembe, cal-mag, signal, humic acid, and a little beastie bloomz.
The new dehumidifier is pulling about a gallon and a half per day from the air, so I should be able to feed them in a couple of days.
2/19:
Rainy day outside, so I'm pulling in 99% humidity, plus the pots are still petty saturated, but the new dehumidifier is keeping up. RH is holding at about 45% today.π
2/20:
Day 31 of flower...they don't seem to be stretching any more, so they aren't a problem, but other plants have been. A semi-solution occurred to me that allowed me to raise the lights another 3-4 inches. Now I'm truly maxxed out...
So far, this has been the most consistent of the FFT strains I'm growing. They actually "look" like sisters..
I took photos and videos of all the plants today since I had to empty the closet and it wasn't a feeding day.
2/21:
I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including beastie bloomz, tiger bloom, big bloom, signal, bembe, and cal-mag...no grow big this time.
2/22:
They're both looking great..no complaints at all.
2/23:
I ordered some Terpinator because I'm not so sure about Signal's efficacy at this point....I'm usually dealing with odors more by now..π
I've reached the ceiling again with my lights, but these two plants wont be a problem. They're both budding up nicely now.
πππ hope your plants survive occasional nibbling by Felis catus. I have Similar problem but the pest species is Canis lupus famliaris. πππ
@Med_in_Tropic,
I also have occasional problems with that pest species, but I fear most that one of the Equus around here should get near them....game over in a hurry!π
@Silverback_Guerilla, Iβm in Bangkok Thailand.
My people are from China three or four generations ago. My body still think had not adapted to the heat and I sweat like a hog in this weather.
@Med_in_Tropic, So, you are in the Tropics?
My people are from Canary Islands and Senegal, and N.W. Spain before that....and Ireland on the other side, but that's 3 and 4 generations ago.
Wow man. For a minute I thought you missed a week between 4 & 5 because the difference was so drastic. I came over after a search because I have the same test strain going. Yours are looking excellent. Stop and check mine out. I had a setback and decided to let them veg out an extra week or two.
@ThatoneAKguy, No doubt...there was some explosive growth that week.
Yes, they are looking great...excellent genetics for sure!πͺ
Good luck with yours!
@grower_not_shower just came over to my PE journal and called the growth between weeks 5 and 6 βfishyβ so
I thought Iβd tag him here to see your week 5 to 6 growth and see how fish that is lol.
@grower_not_shower,
One word for you...HYDRO!
Growing hydro is always faster than soil.
And...sometimes, growers won't have time to update their diaries on the same day each week, so the updates and photos might be 8 or 9 days apart.
And..some strains grow more explosively than others...
And...some plants grow faster than other same-strain plants...
And..some growers are just better than others...
Don't be a hater!
@ThatoneAKguy, Dude, you're just proving my point. Your grow was more advanced at week 5 than this is at week 7. My plants are at about the same size at the same age as this grow.
