Going into Week 6, plants look healthy as ever. Hopefully they stop growing vertically soon as I'm running out of headspace!
Day 38 - Noticed some signs of possible N toxicity. Edges of some leaves were shiny, a little clawing. Nothing bad, but I decided to just give Ph'ed water today as I've been feeding with my waterings every other day. Think I'll keep it to every other watering unless I see signs of deficiency.
Also, I made some adjustments to how I water. I've been filling up gallon milk jugs with tap water and letting them sit about 48 hours, then pouring into a half-gallon juice container that I had modified the cap to pour more like a watering can. My grow space is low(work on my knees), and with the plants getting taller and bushier, I have to reach and strain while holding a half gallon of water for a few minutes at a time, and it's been killing me!!!
I decided to purchase a gardening sprayer for $15 at the hardware store. It has a 2 gallon capacity, with water level markings. Also, the sprayer has a function where I can slide the trigger and it will hold the spray. After adjusting the spray pattern, I was able to find a good spot on each plant where I could rest the spray wand, pump the sprayer up, and just let it go. It took about 10 minutes for each plant(half-gallon), with a fresh pumping every 5 minutes. It sounds like a lot of extra work, and it does take a but longer. However, the water mixing process is now simplified, and my forearms and back are thanking me! I just set one up, and come back in 5 minutes to give a few pumps. In another 5 min switch to next plant. I'm sure I'll continue to make modifications in the future, but I just wanted to share in case anyone has a better idea!!
Day 41 - stop growing!!! I'm hoping they're about done vertically as I'm running out of head space. Also, I opened the grow room door this afternoon and I got a huge whiff of STANK. Cheese maybe? Just hope it's not a sign of mold or anything to worry about...
Ladies looking good early on. Happy and healthy from what I can see. Nice work. Keep doing what you've been doing and best of luck with the rest of the ride growmie.
@Locnar2112, spent lots of time on the internet and you wont fund a more loving and supportive community than the online growing one. Everyone in here has been nothing but kind respectful and helpful. Glad I can say welcome to the family.
@Denzul, thanks I truly appreciate the kind words! Somewhat paranoid with this first grow and I'm so glad I found this community for this kind of encouragement :)
