nothing really to report on the first week. Ive been using non phd water for this week. After a bit of researching ive found that this may be why my leaves are getting a little scrunched. Water phd between 6.2 and 6.8 from now on
this week the girls have started coming into their own. I seem to have 2 different phenos.. currently one is really stretching and the other is bushing out. However my 3rd plant im calling her shorty seems to be having a harder time getting going. She's easily half the size of the other 2.
Another good week for the 2 plants however shorty is still stunted in growth.. im allowing her pot to dry out fully and maybe only watering her half the amount the other 2 are getting when she does get watered. Hopefully she will pull through.
So this week I transplanted shorty and bushy in to 3L fabric pots. They were a little limp the day after the transfer so I gave it a couple of days then gave the 2 girls their first LST on the main stem. As for shorty she's still looking really healthy but zero growth.. ive moved her out the tent and into my garden outside.
this week has gone incredibly smooth. The girls are feeding well and growth as far as I can tell is booming. Im using a soil medium so I know growth isn't going to be as mad like I see in the coco coir grows i see on here, but im content with the progress so far for my first time.
So this week ive done a small amount of defolation to remove a few of the yellowing leaves that were visible on last weeks photos. Ive re adjusted some of the lst a couple of times to keep the main stem down.
I wonder if i should remove more leaves? Or maybe lift my lights as I dont appear to be getting much stretching. The plants are staying small and stout. I suppose LSD is an indica dominant strain.. just most the other diaries ive seen with this strain seems to stretch like crazy.. im thinking this may be a long veg time to properly fill out my space!
so another strong week. Im now getting pretty unsure whether i need to start removing some of the leaves on the girls or just leave them to truck along as they are? Im finding that the side branches don't seem to have any symmetry to them either.. the leaves are coming out at odd points here and there.. im new to this so maybe this is how they should be i just csnt find any infornation online. All the pictures I see of people plants shows the side branches symmetrical like the main top.. either way the girls are drying out daily and feeding really well. No realy issues bar I let the pots dry out abit to much on the weekend (lack of time to tend to the girls) after a good watering they bounced back by the afternoon! God these plants are resilient!
so this week has been quite frankly the same as the last few weeks. Just moving along at a steady pace. Plants are still both healthy and growing strongly. I noticed towards the beginning of the week they were developing some burnt tips. As this came a few days after I accidently gave them a double feeding I put it down to an over feed and held back for a couple of days just using PHd water. Since then the girls are back up to their full feed and loving it! (We all make mistakes eh?)
I think ill be switching them to flower come this Friday.
So I flipped to flower 6 days ago. I thought I may of been abit early with the flipping but after the stretching I've witnessed this week im bloody glad I flipped when I did.
But as you can see stretchy is continuing to live up to its name stretching massively whilst bushy is remaining composed and stout in the face of the flip.
At this point I'm almost glad the 3rd sibling didn't do to well as I'm sure I would of ran out of space!
Im starting to see pistals shooting out at every node which is so nice to see after all this work! And the smell is starting to get a tad more pungent which i couldn't be happier about! Best smell in the world right?
Anyway.. lets roll on to week 2 of flower and fingers crossed progress will carry on with no problems *touch wood*
So second week of flower has just come to an end. The stretching i believe has slowed to a complete stop now and pistils are shooting out at every node. Ive been incredibly busy lately with work back up to full speed. But over the last week ive gradually dialed in the feed to a more flowering based schedule! Im away for the next 2 weeks with work so relying on my partner to keep them healthy. Fingers crossed..
Nope, you've got a week left before its too late they say you're not suppose to do anything to them after week 3 of flower. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember " Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time ".
well this week i have not been present due to work but my partner has ensured the girls have been fed and watered when required!
I almost wish i could be away most weeks to see them explode in size time and time again, since i last checked in on the girls they have probably bulked out to 5 times the size which has been incredible.
Bushy is developing lovely huge tight buds with 3 of the colas i am already unable to get my hands around. The tops are all near enough even in height and quite universal across the whole plant. This is the ideal that i have been trying to train the girls to so i am very pleased. Stretchy however
is a completely different story, no matter how much training i did on her she just kept pushing up and up from the top,the node spacing is considerably larger than Bushy meaning my colas arnt quite as thick and chunky but the individual buds are still becoming lovely and dense. I may throw her into edibles and keep Bushy for smoking.
@NorthernGrows,
As this is my first grow I've only very lightly defoliated when I've felt its absolutely necessary. I've stripped all of the bottom branches and leaves out but apart from that I've left everything that the light touches. With my next run I'll take a more aggressive stance with defolatiation!
Looks lush good job. You can tie back leaves pretty much the same way you would do with a branch. I would be trying to get them side branches as much light early on as possible. If it's a auto I wouldn't risk cutting much off.
@@JaySin,
Cheers buddy! They are both the photoperiod variant of this strain. Im just finding they are both really bushing up and not leaving much space in the middle for light penetration.
Ah well then trim away, if I was you I would trim the middle leafs tuck the bottoms and top and then flower after a week or so that's going to explode in flower.
