Day 23 : New leaves appearing in the firsts nodes, where branches should appear in some days. Still in advance compared to my first diary (Blackberry Fastbuds).
But some leaves are appearing twisted. I believe it could be a cal/mag excess from the little feeding i had last week (seaweed coccolithes lime). But i think the plant will be totally fine.
My 2 last watering were using rain water without any nuts. I will start to feed again at the end of the week (50% of recommended dosage).
EDIT : I'm not even sure about the excess of cal/mag, since i don't see any burned leaves... Could be the too hot weather !? But definitly something not to worry about at this point in my opinion.
Day 24 : UPDATE ABOUT FEEDING : Did a break for a week, but will resume on Day 25. I'll Add Biobizz-Bioheaven + Biobizz-Biobloom + BioBizz-Topmax, at 50% of the recommended value.
- Received BioHeaven from BioBizz, and TopCandy from Top Crop. BioHeaven used now, and TopCandy on the end of flowering.
- Started my LST. Hooked the plant right after the 3th node. The twisted leaf problem isn't worring me anymore. I believe it's a genetic thing (remember the 2 lobe leaf at first node) , or the hot weather i have (still arround 30°C in the day).
Day 25 : Ouch ! I just realized that BioGrow + Fishmix is maybe too much feeding at the same time. The biobizz feeding program recommend using fishmix in early stage, and biogrow later. I did it only once, so I'm ok :)
I believe you can use both product at same time, just share the % like if it was the same product.
Day 27 : First stereoscopic 3D attempt. Unfortunately, Growdiaries don't accept animated GIF.... : https://imgur.com/a/qYEeMcl
It's not verry effective, but I will improve myself. I would made great ones with the new diary I'm going to start this week ^^
How is the sun shining on your growing spot? With 19 hours sunlight, your plant should be big.
@Med_in_Tropic, That's what i'm doing. Crushing them ^^Ît's really under control, like 1-2 aphids a day. So no need of insecticides.
And my garden is pretty wild to be honnest, so kind of well equilibrate between all wildlife species. So it *should* be easy to keep it under control ^^
I will NEVER buy or use insecticides.
@PurpleWorship, and yes, you can crush aphids. What I hate are white fly and spider mite.
I use microbes instead of proper insecticides. You may want to look up Beauvaria bassiana, metarhyzium, BT. These things work best in certain combinations.
However, there could be restrictions in certain countries. I think the rules are there to protect her colonie.
Again, happy gardening.
@PurpleWorship, I have done worse things to my auto plants. Topped them was among the most terrible.
In my cases, I stunted my plants by over feeding, over watering, dense soil.
And when things are perfect, there are still dwarfs and runts from seeds.
These days, I go for quick/fast versions rather than auto. I also pop extra seeds. And I make clones from the plants that grew well with my setting.
I love growing cannabis and hope you enjoy them.
