BubbaSlush - GHSC

Almost end of week 3. BubbaSlush is well into her stride and has hit the ground running with thick strong vigorous growth and huge leaf development. She certainly has those 'Hollywood' good looks. We have suffered very hot temps here lately and BS is showing a few signs of heat stress with some canoeing to her leaves. I have raised the light (again!) but with three circulation fans and my EVAC fan running full blast and running my 'lights on' period at night..........it is still too bloody hot 😕. I also use Bio-Silicon to help relieve heat stress and ensure that the EC levels are very low to help the plant uptake water more easily. She was re-potted from a 1 ltr orchid pot into a 25 ltr airpot, using hydrocorn as a base with Bio-Bizz All Mix, (with an extra 10% added perlite) and a half strength mix of Green House Feeding - Bio Grow. This should only require water for the rest of the veg period with the occasional Green House Feeding Bio-Enhancer top up (essentially humic acid and high quality kelp) although I will supplement with Bio Silicon, Fulvic Acid, Cal/Mag as required. I have only filled my pots two-thirds full of soil at this stage as I will be adding a further amount of soil mixed with Green House Seeds - Bio Bloom supplement once we get to flower and I will need the extra 'pot' space. She is nice and healthy and vigorous and normally I would top her at this stage, but the plan is to let this pheno run her natural course so that she can show all her phenotypical characteristics. Other than a small amount of LST and routine maintainence, I will not be touching her (unless she starts to get too big!) Some LST lies ahead once we have a little more branching development.
