[6/9] - I may have Mainlined a bit too early on 2 or all plants. There are little nubs that count as 3rd nodes, but they so tiny! I wanted to get it done to allow time to recover and veg. One or two leaves on a plant look like nutrient burn, but I thing it may be stress or pH problem on that plant. I don't know it is new growth. Also, I expect to see problems this week as I did not use my pH meter but I guessed based on what I had been doing last week. I just hope the plants forgive me! It was challenging to put enough pressure to LST well without breaking the stems. Some I was able to be aggressive others not as much. It will take daily to every other day adjustment and moving of tie downs for the foreseeable future. I used 10 gauge spool wite, but its stranded wire so it kind of sucks. I would prefer solid piece wire. I had turned down the heat because it was getting in the 90s, but then it dropped to 75, so up it goes again! Today I added 1 gallon of nutes to each plant; will water again on Saturdsay I think.
[6/10] - LST snapped Plant B's 2nd node today. All other LST good. Removed LST from Plant B until its determined if I have supercropped unintentionally or reduced by Colas from 8 to 6 lol. Also, wtf! The light and heat are off! Who what and how!? It comes back to the timer/constant power strip being off. It must have been triggered somehow. I removed any tension on the device to eliminate what may have been the problem. Hopefully Flowering or hermis were not triggered. The humidity was 100% with a temp of 55 degrees. Jesus!!! I guess I am checking the plants before work at 5:30am now. Loverly.
[6/12] - When waiting for the 4th node on the second cutting during Nebula, wait 1-2 more days if its too close to call and you risk cutting the nodes you need. Now I have a plant with only 5 node points which will make the colas either taller or fatter or both making it harder to dial in temp humidity and light during flowering.
@MarijuanaFarmer, My first full-grow and I wanted to manifold. Made some mistakes but one of these plants looks like an 8-pack of colas, lol. Thanks for the kind words, Spade.
Looking great! take it easy on the LST you dont wanna stress too much! Maybe try a few days of flush as you can clear the nutrient burn and restart slowly. PH is super important 6-6.5 that was my problem last year lol. Pretty excited to watch yours too as i have the exact same seeds just growing mine outdoors!
@thelastopera, Yeah flush is always in my arsenal, but only if I have consistent symptoms across a plant and across plants. I will likely flush just before 12-12 switch and definitely before harvest; potential to flush 1-2 times during flowering. Depends on how crazy I get! New pH meter coming tomorrow to narrow in on 6.2. I have done 5.8 with soil successfully but that was using GH's hydro nutes; while I am using soil nutes now.
I know the LST looks painful; super scared doing it but I eased off Doing it too harshly yesterday with Plant A: James Hetfield. I will check it out in a few hours and make some adjustments.
Looking good bud! I am doing the same WW fem seeds also from crop king but growing outdoor and in coco. excited to see how it goes will be following you along with way. Happy growing!
