[6/14] - Cut off the 2 main leaves under each manifold. Adjusted the LST to make tings flat with some mild super-cropping (HST?). Watered each with 1/2 gallon of water. New pH meter reads 6.0 after all nutes and without pH down. Odd? Since last meter usually showed 7.2 at the start. WTF? Probably should calibrate to make sure. Grr. Smell is increasing enough for wife to notice when door is open for 30 minutes. Don't know what other defoliation I should do since Nebula Manifold doesnt mention it at all. Don't know what else to do but wait for it to grow about 19 inches, then switch to 12. Maybe by the end of the week? IF so, I would flush at week's end.
[6/18] - Replaced 2nd heater, maybe burned out due to the power strip I used which was the same model as the one that fucked up before. I am done with these two models! New Volcano heater coming and new powerstrip coming. Good growth continues. I measured 8 inches of soil, with 8 inches of plant, totalling 16 inches from bottom. The light and filter are 14" from ceiling of tent. Leaving me with 30" of growth room left. 8 inches of plant with 30 available means that total plant cannot be taller than 38 inches, THUS I would want 1/2 of total to be when I switch to 12/12. 1/2 of 38" is 19", so 19-8 = 11 more inches before switching out of veg. Will this be by the end of the week? Will I have more electrical problems?!
@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!
