GMO/Runtz/Slurricane/24K/WdngCk

greenflipcali89 Since the first week, Blue Dream has acquired 5 new roommates! Added in Wedding Cake, GMO, Slurricane, Runtz, aaaaand...........24K! Again! I want to redeem myself from the first grow and want to get it right this time! Did some LST'ng and training. Blue Dream seems to be the wild child and will have to tame her as she bushes out. All the others seem to lay down pretty easy. Moved into a bigger tent and all under a bigger/better light, another HLG 300L V2 Rspec! Love this light and what it has done for my 2nd grow (Mimosa, Napali Pink, Bling). Had some issues with cooling, but made proper adjustments and all is good. Removed some beat up leaves and to encourage growth. UPDATE 9/19: I decided to move Blue Dream to her own tent as I don't feel like growing a wild sativa with a bunch of stout indicas! So look for my diary covering just Blue Dream. Thanks...

greenflipcali89 Amazing how hearty and resilient these plants are. Started daily preventative spraying of Guard N Spray to keep PM away. Big light schedule change. Researched 12+1 light schedule, which means 12 hrs of daylight, followed by 5.5 hrs of dark, then 1 hr of light, then another 5.5 hrs again of dark. By doing this, it allows more time for recovery and growth. The 1 hr break of light during the darkness will prevent the flowering hormone from initiating, but will be ready at a moment's notice when flipped. It also presents a savings of 5 hrs your lights would otherwise be on. SLURRICANE: She has been growing very well; LST; defoliation to the top three nodes, but allowing new stems to continue growing. Stands at 14" already! WEDDING CAKE: She wasn't doing too hot early on, but has since bounced back well. LST; light defoliation. Stands at 11" tall. Letting her grow a bit before some more adjustments. GMO (Garlic Cookies): The biggest of the bunch, she is 16" tall! Growing very well since Day One. Decided to extend her upright too, spreading out the branches. Accidentally snapped one, but it was partial, so did a quick tape job and she should heal fine. RUNTZ: Was the "runt" in the beginning, but she also bounced back and stands at 14" tall. Cleaned up her stems and she is looking good! 24K: She was the worse off of the bunch early on, but has recovered well. Still lanky, but starting to see new growth along the stems. I have high hopes for her! She stands at 12" tall. Overall, really happy with their recovery and fast growth. I attribute it to the new light schedule and will continue to do so throughout veg. Happy growing!!

greenflipcali89 Completely forgot to take updated pics of all the girls! I am amazed though on how well the Gas Lantern Routine worked for them during veg. I had great growth and plants looked very healthy. Some slight N deficiencies with Wedding Cake and 24K, but gave them both solo feedings last night of 6 tsp of N, coupled with 2 tsp of CalMag, along with humic acid. Looking forward to see how well GLR worked on all of them. Also grateful for having found a preventative spray that combats both insects and mold/mildews. I have been spraying daily and they are very healthy. As far as training, continued LST on all, defoliated, and pulled new stem growth from all nodes, up to the very top node only. I was really happy with the outcome of my other grow in flower (see my Mimosa/Bling/Napali Pink Diary). Anyway, more to follow next week! Happy growing and toking! UPDATE 10/5/2020: Was able to get pics of all of them on their Day One of Flower...enjoy!
