*******Week 2 July 27 to Aug 2/20 - Days 8 to 14 since germination.
The girls were given feedings on 4 days this week. They were misted everyday otherwise, they are not showing any signs of lacking nutrition. Leaf colour is good, too possibly a little light, and they are doing well in that respect. Not pushing it and will keep focusing on the root development. Pheno 2 is having some issues that she has not grown out of yet. Hopeful that she still will. She has been odd right from when she cracked in the seed. Timing didn’t work out to pop another seed so just running with this one. Will see what the next couple of weeks bring and maybe she won’t make it still. Pheno 3 is slow and is also showing signs of some possible issues. She is almost a week behind the other two Lemon AK girls. Pheno 1, LAK1, has been the solid girl and growing very well. She is popping out new sets of leaves and her stem is getting thicker.
Settled the lighting in at 24” off canopy by the end of the week and working towards stronger more regular feedings now.
Not a lot of comments really. No training or any other interesting tasks yet. This strain’s girls are progressing and growing but all are at different stages......it will be very noticeable for a few weeks, the difference in growth, and then the difference will be less noticeable soon......keep environment dialled in so we don’t stunt the girls but otherwise, its boring this week😂😂
Little more detail:
July 27/20 - Day 8
- Feed: B52 at 1ml = 225ppm and 5.8pH.
- Amounts given were LAK1 - 1,000ml, LAK2 - 750ml, LAK3 - 250ml
- didn’t adjust the pH as it was 5.9. Added the microbes and it dropped to 5.8. No pH adjuster added.....nice for the microbes!
- Increased light intensity today by turning on the second light.
- LAK1 is wanting more light now.
- environment averaging 77 degrees and 65% humidity.
July 28/20 - Day 9
- Dry out day.
- LAK1 - is tall and her third set of leaves are out now.
- LAK2 - way too squat. There are issues here! Keep going for now and hope she grows out of it in the next week or two.
- LAK3 - show some small tip burn????? Thinking I may have added the B52 to the water twice at the end of last week.
July 29/20 - Day 10
- 500ml Feed with B52 @ 2ml = 185ppm and 5.5pH
- Not a lot of change today from yesterday.
- Lighting at 24” now.
July 30/20 - Day 11
- Dry out day.
- all are showing some small signs of leaf tip burn now......damn!
- been pushing the B52 the last couple to work on providing some strength for her main stem.
July 31/20 - Day 12
- 1L feed given with Microbes @ 2ml, Vitathrive @ 1ml, Dual Fuel, VeloKelp, Liquid Weight @ 0.5ml
- 355ppm and 5.5pH.
- LAK1 and LAK2 were fed 1L each........but LAK3 was NOT given anything!!!
- the feed was 280ppm before adding the microbes so I don’t feel its overly strong.
- raised the light 2” off the canopy....LAK1 looking a littler more perky today.
Aug 1/20 - Day 13
- Dry out day.
- LAK1 has side branches popping out now. She is looking very good for the most part!!
- LAK2 is happy today and you can see her starting to lift off of herself and get taller!!!!! Still has the on large leaf on one side of her :)
- LAK3 very narrow and small leaves on her right now. She is certainly not on fire right now with her growth!!! She is growing but too slow.....see what next week brings for her.
- still surprised a bit at the tip burn from the B52......didn’t think it was too much!!!!! Did I accidentally add the nutrients twice to the water????
Aug 2/20 - Day 14
- Had some feed water left over some other girls so added a little to all of these girls pot as well
- 250ml - Microbes @ 2ml, Dual Fuel & Vitathrive & Liquid Weight & B52 @ 0.5ml
- worked out to 320ppm and 5.6pH
That will wrap up week 2..........we have a real variety in growth and where we stand at the end of 14 days, 12 day, and 9 days respectively for the three phenos☹️☹️☹️ Unfortunate that they are not all strong out of the gate and have to really stay on top of things so they not slowed down in veg......damn autos😂👍
@Tweezer, Thanks Growmie!!! I had big hopes for this diary.......time will tell if it works out. I really needed three growing at a similar pace to trust some of the results.
Its about the love of the plant and keeping the grows interesting.......its all good no matter what happens......there will still be bud in the jars at the end😀🙏
