11/15- Start of Week 11 from seed, Week two of flower! Gave the girls a heavy water today of 1g each de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.4 @ 72 deg. with 5ml/g CalMag+ and 5ml/g Sledgehammer added. They are both extremely healthy and vigorous with the #1 phenotype having a slight advantage over it's sister being 20" tall to her 17". Interesting factoid, the #2 phenotype is exhibiting several 9 bladed leaves over multiple locations, whereas the #1 pheno's leaves are all 7 bladed. They both have tight internodal spacing which is indicative of my experience with previous runs of this strain which makes for some incredibly tightly stacked, rock hard, pungent buds that will excite anyone! They are, at the moment, the shortest of the seven other photo's in this current run but I expect them to catch up to the rest as this strain from Dutch Passion has, by past experience, a 3-4 week stretch period. These two pheno's of Power Plant will be some beautiful ladies in 6 more weeks as they both have multiple cola sites and I can already picture them swaying in the breeze!
11/16- Fed the girls today with 1g each de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms liquid nutrients ( Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom/Grow Big/Root Drench/Boomerang/Open Sesame). To mix my nutrients I fill my watering container 1/2 way then, one by one add nutrients stirring between (if using Silica I add it first and let it sit for an hour then add the rest of the nutrients) adding the granulated/dry nutrients last (Open Sesame). I then check the ppm/EC and dilute if necessary to reach the desired number. I then proceed to adjust the ph of the nutrient solution for a final ph of 6.2-6.5. This feed had an EC of 3.0 / 1800 ppm on a 500 scale and a 6.4 ph @ 74 deg. (this nutrient combination now ends up with a 5.6-5.8 ph before I adjust, whereas when using just the main three nutrients (Big Bloom/Grow Big/Tiger Bloom) the solution always ended up at 6.4-6.5 and did not require adjustment.
11/17- Watered both as they were light when lifted. Gave each 1g de-chlorinated water with 10ml/g Microbe Brew added, then ph'd to 6.4 @ 72 deg. The 1g each saturates their pots just to the point of a slight runoff which they seem to enjoy.
11/19- Light water day- I'm now going by tilting the pots onehandedly as I'm used to the feel of dry vs wet by now and find the ladies appreciate the individual catering as well! They received de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.3 @ 72 deg. with a 5ml/g shot of Fox Farms Root Drench and 1/4 tsp/g of Fox Farms Open Sesame. I dosed the nutrients light as they'll be getting a feed tomorrow. Both are still not stretching as much as I'd like to see but, my God they're LOADED with bud sites which has me super stoked!!!πͺ I noticed some discoloration on only a couple of the older/lower shade leaves on the #1 phenotype. It's possible that the roots hit a pocket of built up nutes which caused the discoloration due to lockout or ??? I'm currently not worried as it's very limited on only one plant, but will keep an eye on them!
11/21- The pots and the girls are telling me that today will be a 'dry out' day, as both are still fairly heavy to the 'tilt' and the girls are 'praying' hard and look fantabulous! I'll check them in the afternoon when I turn on the UVA and give them a drink if they need it. Moving forward, things shouldn't be as boring as they are currently as the flowers will be doing nothing but getting BIGGER and prettier from here on out!ππ
@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
