Banana Bomb, Blackberry Gum, Dos Si Dos

9/28-10/4. Interesting week so far. Plants are loving their new pots. Drank everything in them pretty quickly. 9/30, Watered and added Foxfarm Veg. nutrients and plantfood. PH'd water to 6.3-6.4. The soil medium was extremely dry, probably due to tent conditions, hot, humid, dry with fan pointed down at soil likely drying it all out. Keeping fan pointed at wall of tent to just keep air flow. The plants drank alot of water, easily 3-4 gallons. Soil seems to be back to normal. Started LSTing most of the plants. One of the banana bombs, that was showing some early nutrient deficiency, is smaller than the other plants so far so I avoided LST and removed the germination leaves turning brown. Could be phosphorous or K deficiency. One leaf set higher has some spots but newer growth appears recovered. Could've been the weak potting soil they started in -- wanted to avoid over-nuting early but may try going straight to OF next round. None of the other plants seemed affected though. Hmm. Just gotta watch PH and new growth. For LST, I'm really wrapping the garden wire around the top cola leaf sets and pulling in one direction to open lower canopies. You could tell after just one day of LST that lower growth was picking up on that side. 10/1, topped all five plants by hand. Will let them recover the next two days then back to LST. First time topping so hope I did it correctly! Will be eagerly watching coming days. 10/3 did some LST, noticed pots were lighter 10/4 watered with 6.3 PH water. The plants are starting to grow new chutes after topping so all looks successful. Likely won’t do another topping down the road, mostly LST from here on out. Still learning LST, not 100% sure how to do it, but making plants go so that lower sections are getting direct light. Here’s to the next week!
