Day 43 (Oct. 4th): Still no watering today. Last time was 6 days ago. Plants look ok as far as I can see but it's starting to worry me a bit...
Day 44: The soil is dryer but not enough yet => No fish today again.
There are now lots of future buds sites. I guess that the idea isn't "as many as possible" but rather " lots well developed and well taking light" and I don't see clearly how to do this :).
Preflowering pistils on branches nodes are here: Only ladies . They don't drink that much but they grow nicely every day, especially blueberry #1.
THC bunker buster #1 has a few leaves ( 2 sites) with brown spots ( on branches where 2nd pinchfimming was done- one can see the mechanical "normal" damages on tops-). As the whole plant looks good and grow normally, I don"t worry too much for now.
Day 45: Watering adding elycitor (0,5g/ l)/root + (0,3 ml/l )and Grow A+B (4,5ml/l) for BB #1 (2,5 l), BB#2 (2 l), HB #1 ( 2 l) and THC BB #1 (1,5l). I'll water the 2 other plants normally tomorrow.
Half a day after watering, I can tell the ladies liked it :). Grid coverage will still increase a bit as pistils are just starting to show up. Day 45 will be my day 1 to start counting flowering time.
Day 46 : Watering for THC BB #2 (2, l) and HB #2 ( 1,3 l). I read that some cleaning up has to be done under the grid. Well..I don't see any other way of doing this but raising the grid high enough to be able to work on the plants (and do the same with lamp ) and put the grid back in place carefully (same for the lamp :) ). I have been thinking about if for the last few days and once again.. not today ! But i'll have to.Unless it can be avoided ?
Day 47: Defoliation for all plants. I removed most of what was under the bamboo grid this morning and re-guided branches again. Half a day later, it looks like what hasn't been cut is already stronger.
Day 48: They recover rather nicely from yesterday's defoliation. I keep on moving branches under the bamboo grid as soon as I can to improve the grid coverage and get as close as possible of the square meter.
Day 49: Flowering began for THC bunker buster's.
@Ferenc,Thank you for your answer ! Appeasing my worries :)
That said, I just noticed some brown spots on a few THC BB #1's leaves. Nothing on the 5 other plants. Maybe another reason to worry about :)
@@@Weedelfe, Well this is also good for the plants to keep them a bit hungry..... i usually do it as well, sometimes i do not water them for longer period and then they start growing faster
@Ferenc, Well,I didn't water because the soil is still damp ( 7 days today).
Because the plants look ok, I don't worry too much but in my small one session experience I can"t prevent to remember that I used to water every 3/4 days. So..I wonder if they just had too much water last time ( from 2l to 3 l per pot) or if I should worry about something else, like roots health for instance.
The soil is supposed to be good (DNA Mills with cork), I added elycitor ( mixture of mycorrhizae, Bacillus, Trichodermas and other microorganisms and elements : humic and fulvic acids, amino acids and vitamins, different micronutrients (Fe, Cu, Cr, Mn, Zn, Mo, Mg) and Roots+ to each watering. Roots looked very good when I repotted. Along 6 weeks they also had nutrients (Grow A+B) 3 times (70% of recommended dosage) and reacted well...T° max 24.8 °C mini 19°8
humidity 49%(night) 55/60% (day).
Could there be a reason behind the fasting ? That's what I 'm wondering and- yes- worrying a bit about :)
For now, I plan to wait for the soil to be dry enough (same as your advice).
@bioaccessory, I got the bamboo stems from friend's garden. Cut 26 one meter segments in order to get 12x12 "holes".The whole construction is rather light weighted and easy to handle. I attached it to the tent frame very simply using the thick green tie yarn that I usually use for lst ( you can see a tiny part of it on the top left corner of the last diary pic and I'll post a picture later in the afternoon- it's 1 pm now here-)
@Shagrath,Thank you Shagrath😋 Next session, I grow Original sensible seeds again (one maybe 2 of those :gorilla glue #4 or girl scout cookies or ZKittlez) and Kannabia (cookies haze) and sensi seeds (jack herer). And with a new set up !😎
