📅 30.10-20 (Day 60 Flower 1)
📜 Time for the flip! Been waiting for this for a long time!
Cleaned the tank and switched over to bloom nutrients from Advanced Nutrients.
Was debating a bit with myself if I should use veg nutrients for a week or 2 more while in bloom, but decided to go for it and get some experience.
The new timer (Calex smart connect plug) for my pump has cleared up all my problems it seems, the reservoir is now a lot colder, about 21c, and the plant seems very happy with the new feeding schedule using 5 min off and 1 on. Also able to keep the temperature drop in the tent at night now with the new LED, so all seems to be coming together. 🙏🏻
Really learning something new every day and I'm loving the journey! 😎

📜 Looks great, the ph didn't move overnight, still 5.9. I hope the ph perfect nutrients will keep it more steady than the old.

📜 Pruned off some of the side branches that were heading towards the wall, and kept the inner one for them to grow up in the middle, will try to do some LST on them if space allows it.
It's drinking a lot of water but and ph is stable. The ppm shrinking but stable compared to water loss.
Tomorrow is time for new nutrients, will add more photos and details then.

The leaves are stretching up (praying leaves as I understand).
It's just 1 day after topping and I would expect some stress, is this a good or bad sign?
I fear I might have topped them a bit too early.
Hey!
Praying leaves is a good thing, unless they start to take taco form then thats bad because its suffering heat/light stress
In your case, its good.. if she we're suffering stress from being topped she would look droopy and falling over with no energy..
She's rigid, praying leaves and ready to keep growing.
With such little new growth maybe next time to be sure leave a couple extra fan leaves until you see she's recovering fine.
I normally top between the third and fifth node, on the current grow I topped after those and I won't be doing that again..
for me it's best early. easier to control the growth. These ladies got way out of hand, only 3 have a good structure for my taste.
Nice job, keep it up.
Good luck and happy growing!
Now it's standing straight up to heal
It's still growing and look healthy, but what recovery time should I expect?
Will it be strong enough to continue main-lining?
Should I just release the other branch?
Or wait until it's healed and continue?
Thanks for your tips and inputs!
I did some accidental HST when I was LSTing too. I gave her 1 week of doing nothing and then I slowly got her back into position by LSTing the TOP of her bc she would have less stress on her base (stem knuckle). Observe and make the decision yourself... I actually broke her twice and she came back twice... but I was lucky!
Are you using Silica? If not, add it to your nute mix. it helps make stems strong and more pliable.
Rhino Skin - Advanced Nutrients
Armor Si - GHE
Silica Blast - (can't recall company name)
@DreamOn, on that big setup not really 😅 ...but if you take a look on other diary - small run (clones as well), we topped them. 16 of them are topped 2x and other 16 only one. We wanted to see differenc..

í´ll upload few pics, you can chcek it in hour. 🧐
@DreamOn, that’s good it works. I first started using their three part nutes and it helped the ph, but I’m using the Sensi 2 part nutes and it hardly works. Nice diary, and good work! 💪🏽💪🏽
@SuggaShane, Yes, it did stabilize my PH, I had to correct it every second day before I started with ph perfect, now I can leave it alone for the whole week.
Although the nutrient schedule from AN is too strong for me at least and would recommend starting lower.
