Nirvana - Northern Light / GSC

Day 43: Nothing new Notes: Not much to update today. Soil still somewhat damp. Waiting until some of the bud sites have grown a few inches to tuck again. I have some more nutrients and supplements coming on Wednesday (FF Kelp Me Kelp You/Wholly Mackerel/Microbe Brew/GH Armor SI (Silica)/Mycorrhizae), so that will be a big feeding and a big update. Fabric for blocking off my grow space is coming in Wednesday, so that will add some color to my otherwise monotone grow space, as well as help block out any potential light leaks and better insulate heat and humidity. I also ordered a wider heatsink for my QBs to get a better coverage for my canopy. I'll have to do that during lights out, so I'm not sure how well that's going to work. Day 44: Defoliation Notes: Did a heavy defoliation. I was too rough with the plants I think. Ended up breaking a couple stems and accidentally removing a couple bud sites. Day 45: Feeding GSC: 3/4 Gallon of water half-strength base nutrients full strength supplemental nutrients full strength silica mycorrhizae pH: 6.4 NL: 1 Gallon of water full strength silica half-strength base nutrients full-strength supplemental nutrients mycorrhizae pH: 6.4 Notes: No tucking today. Still letting plants recover and grow upwards. I got new nutrients today. Some of the bottles came with holes poked in the cap and no seals. I read this is done so that the bottles don't explode during delivery, lol. Well, I didn't notice the holes at first. When I was picking up 6-7 bottles of stuff, I managed to spill some of the Microbe Brew on my hoodie. Holy god does that stuff smell. Also sealed my space up better with a ton of flannel fabric. Blocked out a ton of light and better insulated the space. Great Success! Day 46: Nothing new Notes: Plants seem to be growing heaps after their feeding. One of the lower big fan leaves that did not get defoliated is showing early signs of calcium deficiency. Other than that, plants are looking solid. I am thinking my timeline for flipping is less than two weeks at their current rate of growth. Day 47: Watering GSC: 1 Gallon of Water .75 tsp/gal of Botanicare Cal-Mag pH: 6.4 NL: 1 Gallon of Water pH: 6.4 Notes: The plants hardly seem like I defoliated damn near everything a few days ago. Lots of growth sites popping up, and I only topped a single time. Scrogs rule. Day 48: Nothing new Notes: Plants are looking fabulous. I think I'm going to do a round of tucking, let them pop up, and start prepping to switch to flowering. 😎 Ordered a 12 outlet power strip rated for 15A and 1,800W plus two additional clip-on fans for beneath the canopy. Day 49: Defoliation / Tucking Notes: Did another round of defoliation and tucking without incident, until...I split the main stalk down the middle by being a little overzealous with my training. So uh, I hope it heals correctly. I have a feeling it will; because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that cannabis plants are resilient little fuckers.
