Hey everyone! Past week was pretty interesting. Let's see what had happened during this time.
At the begining of the week both plants were slightly defoliated and stratched. Each plant feel a bit different but generaly, I'm satisfied with how it goes and that was the last vegetation week.
Since that week I no longer know the exact amount of water that goes thru the pot and this is why I don't really care about it: I have put a fush tank pump to every plant and put both of them on timer. Minimum step of my timer is 30min so I have to go along with that. The exact pump efficiency is unknown but during that time every plant is getting approximately 5-8l of water. At wk4.2 I've set it to work like that 2 times a day.
The logic I follow with reverse watering is simple: it is impossible to overwater you plants as long as your drainage is fine and plant is getting enough oxygen with water. Plants are taking as much as they need and rest water goes the pot back to the pump. Holes in my aero pot also can be helpfull in such cases but there is still not that much water.
KALASHNIKOVA
This girl feels very good. Just compare her pictures after defoliation and fresh ones. I am impressed how she deal with stress. It grows that fast that at the end of the week you wouldn't even notice she was defoliated.
That was my 1st LST experience and it is pretty exciting to see how the stratched plant reacting on this exersice: during next 2 hrs the entire plant changed its shape literally on my eyes!
SUPER CRITICAL
That one is not that good as kalashnikova. It turned to be not that flexible and ubfortunately I've broke one branch. At the end this experience would cost me about 10grams of decent buds 😓.
But generaly it feels very good. Despite all this sterss it is already catching up her friend, whis is pretty impressive.
Thanks for reading my report.
Stay home, smoke weed and be safe.
