10/25- Week 8! Two weeks now until the ladies get flipped to 12/12 and shit really starts getting busy. These girls are gonna blowup the 4x8! They've both responded extremely well to the LST and selective topping/defoliation and have become wide and bushy with a ton of budsites! Today was a dry day for the girls, they'll get a lite water tomorrow with 15ml/g of Neptune's Harvest Seaweed extract and Botanicare Silica Blast @ 3ml/g into 5g de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.2.
10/27- Today I 'lollipopped' both girls up about 1/3 of the way from the base. I also removed all the little 'suckers' and leaves in the lower third of the plants. No water today-letting the roots breath, checked pots by lifting them. The girls will be getting fed tomorrow with 1g each of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.4 with Fox Farms Grow Big/Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom added to give 1200ppm. I now have the HLG 650R's pulling 545w at the wall and the girls are loving it! Flip is in two weeks, next week I'll remove all nodes except for the ones at the top of each branch, this will focus all the energy to the main cola's. I'll also be adjusting the timer on the lights to 15/9 for the final week before going to 12/12 but it will depend on how tall they are at that time as it will speed up them going into flower at the expense of less stretch. So, if the girls are still fairly short I'll go form 18/6 right to 12/12 which will allow the max stretch from them...we'll see. ππ
10/29- Today was a 'Dry out' day, I checked the moisture level on both and they were still moist...I'll check them again tomorrow. If they're dried out tomorrow they'll get 1/2g of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.3 @74 deg. each with 3ml/g Botanicare Silica Blast added.
10/31- πHAPPY HALLOWEED!!!π»
@Inganjawetrust, thanks so much! They're a bit slow on the stretch but they should still put on another few inches before they start really getting busy!ππ
