This week saw the Runtz Strain first leaves expand in size before making way for the second layer shoots. While the Sativa strain has already begun a steady vertical growth. Will keep them in these small pots until Week 3 and then begin feeding schedule with other nutrients.
Finally got my hands on some Fox Farm fertilising products this week, as well as some Organic Bat Guano. Started off with a little bit of bat guano mixed into the top soil and then drenched pot with liquid mixture. I'm looking forward to big growth this week.
Like last week, continued growth. Plants are continuing to grow well under the LST techniques, however, Sativa is a faster grower at 10 inches in length while the Runtz is like a leafy shrub, about 6 inches in height.
Sativa is growing expoentially with horizontal stems gaining size and leaves. This week this plant was also topped to help the other stems grow in girth and size. Meanwhile the Runtz is maintaining steady growth.
Sativa - 12 inches
Runtz - 7 inches
Last official week of vegetation. Growth has been great, I clipped some leaves to help with air circulation and light penetration. Only water this week as well, wanted to flush the soil of remaining nutrients and help them be absorbed.
First week of flowering has been ok, some leaves have curled at their tips a little, but nothing damaging persay.
Some of the smaller shoots have exponentially grown in height.
Both plants are misted every couple days and I'm just excited for the first bud sightings.
i'd stop misting them. Claw can be nutrient related, but could also be a little less perky while acclimating to 12-12, especially if lights are ~50% more intense.
stick to a good wet-dry cycle of irrigation and if it claws more, dial back dosage when you do fertilize. stick to routine and adjust dose.. simple as that. I'm assuming at this point you have ramped up to some 'max' dose. make sure entirity of pot is saturated with no dry pockets. this requires some runoff. I'd get a little extra runoff when fertilizing unless some sort of living soil or super soil. This just helps maintain proper concentrations throughout substrate. Wait for top 1" to dry.. get familar with weight of pot. a simple tug can tell you when it is time. Allow that wet-dry cycle to happen. As long as problems are small, can always wait to adjust next upcoming cycle. whether you do every-other fertilization or every third .. keep doing what you were doing. Makes adjustment easier to move 1 dial at a time.
Week 2 of flowering, and I'm seeing early budding sights on the Runtz plant. My other plant is growing through the screen nicely, I expect to see many changes in look soon.
I'm giving them longer dry spells so that they dry out as much as possible before I feed or water again.
Strong growth this week. Both plants look great, with early budding spots. The dry spells have helped the production thus far so Im just trying to be consistent and alert.
Made a minor tweak with with the SCROG method on the CS strain this week, I removed the net completely to allow the stems to shoot straight up. Added molasses to my feeding this week, hopefully it does what I expect as the budding sites on both plants are beginning to thicken.
Much improvement in smell this week. Little bit of vertical stretch but I guess the Caribbean Sativa is adjusting to life without the ScroG net. Runtz is thickening and growing so well.
The Runtz strain looks really really good, excited about those buds. Truly hoping the local sativa fills out in the coming weeks ahead. Im gonna flush the runtz maybe this week or next in anticipation of harvest.
