The beginning of this week really, really sucked. This is a closet grow and the tape measure I use to measure my plants is on the shelf above. When I grabbed the tape measure, it slipped out of my hand and landed right on one of the two main stems and snapped it completely in half, with the exception of a little bit of fiber along the bottom of the stem. I quickly taped it, but you can see in the first picture that one half of the plant is wilting. She was such a monster of a plant and I've never been so pissed. I couldn't decide if I should cut her back and top the other side one more time to get the same cola count, or cut her and treat the cutting as a clone and grow a mini plant, or just leave it and hope for the best. I decided to leave it and maybe still top her once more. Surprisingly, the tape job worked and she bounced back, although that side of the plant is clearly stunted. Other than that, whew!!!, she's doing well. I tied her third and final topping down and I can see signs of pre-flower. I won't be able to top her a fourth time. Earlier this week, she got her first light feed with 6 cups water, however, given the issues with my first NL grow, I have started watering her to runoff and measuring that. She got 1 gallon water with CalMag and the runoff measured 6.2ph with 1,000+ppm. When she's ready for water again, I'll up the ph more than 6.5 to offset the low ph on the runoff. I'm on a feed, water, water cycle so at this rate it'll be one water/feed per week. On to week 5!
Last 2 weeks💕
Pray''n they be swelling 🤞🤞
The PITA ph runoff eh. Im going to change up my feeding/watering try to minimize that happening too.
Good vibs to you my friend ☮️❤️
I'm amazed an auto could handle the mainlining, topping and defoliation without stress, stunting, etc. It sort of goes against everything I've learned about autos.
