Week 8 (8/8/2020 - 14/8/2020)
7/8/2020 - Both plants defoliated again and bent down to same height. Lower nodes removed to allow the formation of mainlining frame. Humidifier moved to the front. Plant 1 tank topped up to 2 gallons and plant 2, 3 gallons.
Top up 2 gallon each tank. 5 gallon water mixed with the following: Silicon - 1ml/gal ~ 7ml Cal mag - 2.5ml/gal - 12ml Micro - 2.5ml/gal - 12ml Gro - 2.5ml/gal - 12ml Bloom - 2.5ml/gal - 12ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 10ml Nitrozyme - 5ml/10L ~ 10ml Ph 6.09 Ppm 520 Temp 21.9
11/8/2020 - LST readjusted. Both plants canopy made even level. Transition nutrient mixed but not replaced in tank. Perhaps tomorrow or the day after. I wanted to try out the kushman defoliation technique of removing all the lower nodes except the top most withhout removing the fan leaves. But at this stage I'm just tired of waiting longer for it to recover before flipping to 12/12. It has been 2 month of veg after all. Perhaps for my next grow. I'm thinking of flipping to 12/12 in 3 days time. Let's see if the plants are ready by then.
13/8/2020 - Full nutrient change done. Roots appear healthy for both plants.
Nutrient mixed with 20 gallon filtered water: Silicon - 1.5ml/gal ~ 30ml Cal mag - 5ml/gal - 100ml Micro - 4ml/gal - 80ml Gro - 4ml/gal - 80ml Bloom - 4ml/gal - 80ml Humic Acid - 1ml/L - 76ml ~30ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Nitrozyme - 5ml/10L ~ 30ml
Ph 6.24 Ppm 800 Temp 23
Hey the roots that you are referring to looks like some new small roots coming in. The colour will be off for them as they are pretty fresh. Your plant is looking great. Great job
Happy growing
@myrceneCB1, Thanks. Just did my defoil, I suppose it depends a lot on how long it has vegged for. I let a lot of branches grow after getting my shape. And vegged mine for too long as they were outdoor plants. So it looks like more foliage.
Where as a younger plant would look like that ideally before flower.
Thanks man π€
