Day 29 - Starting off week 5 and she’s looking a little bad and my guess is it’s the watering. I’m definitely gonna have to back off what I give her, even dried out it seems she doesn’t need much so I’ll back down until she tells me she needs more. I also removed a could giant fan leaves as well, they were covering everything beneath. I might stop with the LST and just let her go how she is from here on out.
Day 30 - Well I was gonna let her just go naturally but she put on some decent growth overnight so decided to go ahead and continue LST. She’s still looking a bit wrinkled but she’s growing nicely and definitely is starting to show more pistils. She might not end up being a big harvest but she might, time will tell.
Day 31 - All is looking as good as it can right now and definitely holding out on water for a bit, it’s taking her a bit to use up what’s in the soil and it’s not drying out very quickly. I might end up putting another fan in the tent to blow just on the pot to try and get her dried up. She did stretch a bit and is starting to fill out but not quite where I want her yet.
Day 32 - She’s not looking the greatest but overall seems pretty healthy. I’m thinking she’s pretty stressed from watering and will give her a lot less next feeding, still waiting for her to dry out. I did do a little LST and adjustments, then tucked some leaves and put her back into the tent.
Day 34 - She’s looking a bit better and did some more LST and she’s showing more and more pistils. I tested the soil down to the bottom with a moisture meter and she’s definitely dry so gave her a gallon of water and nutes today. I’m thinking the soil is packed down a little too much so went around and kinda loosened everything up so hopefully she’ll get more drainage and such.
Day 35 - The end of week 5 and she seems like she’s finally starting to come along. I think kind of breaking up the soil a bit helped her. I must of had it packed in pretty tight and the soil wasn’t draining very well, even with perlite mixed in. So hopefully it’s airy enough to good drainage and for the roots to expand more. She’s growing nicely now so I went and tied a couple branches down and she’s definitely starting to flower, lots of pistils.
@briefbriefs, not a problem, it helps me as well. Love seeing the growth in between days, it makes me feel like I not screwing something up when I see noticeable changes.
