6 for the 6th.

Day 30 My girls had come along nicely in the 4 days since I tied them down. Only problem was I lost one of the branches on the Do-Sweet-Dos and one was just about surviving on the San Fernando Lemon Kush. No big deal though. They were fine when I first tied them down. It was the next night when I pulled them down further, it was too much too soon and when I went back to check on them after an hour or two they had ruptured at the junction to the main stem. There was no saving the one on the DSD so I took it off completely. I fed them a bit of Bio silicon anyway to strengthen the stems a bit. They could all have done with the ties moving further out at that stage but I was hoping they'd have rooted the pots out enough to pot on after a further two days. So I left it it until they'd been potted on and settled in before I gave them any more stress. Environment. The lamp had been lowered by 3" per day to 26" above the canopy. Temps: 21-25 Roots: 21-24 RH: 40-46 Feed. They went 3 days without a drink, then I fed them 500ml each on day 29 containing 0.5ml/L Bio silicon. Day 35 pot up to finals. I pulled the the Red Mandarine from her pot on day 32 to check the roots and they weren't quite ready for a pot up so I left them for another three days. I checked the same plant again and she still didn't look ready but I had to get on with it due to the time limit for the grow. Environment. The RCD for my oil rad had tripped on day 33 and I never saw it until the lights came on at 6pm so the room temps had dropped to 17 and roots to 18. RH went up to 79%. Root temps of 18 is borderline but there was no ill effect on the plants apart from they took a bit of a stretch. Not sure why it tripped but it's been ok since. Maybe I knocked the test button on it while I was up there. There wasn't a power cut, I know that much. Temps: 19-25C Roots: 20-24C RH: 42-62% The lamp had been lowered further to 22" but the plants had started drooping a bit daily just before lights out so I raised the lamp from 22" to 25" to compensate in case of too much light intensity. And to compensate this I turned my Inkbird thermostat up to 23C (controls my electric blanket under the pots) to keep those roots warm if the room temps dropped, as the weather had turned cooler outdoors too. Feed. Day 31: I gave the KKFV an in between feed of 250ml plain water to stop her drying out quicker than the others. Day 32: They all had 500ml containing 1.5ml/L Foundation Root stim. Day 34: 500ml for all, with 2ml/L Root stim.
