End of third week, my baby is still doing well.
The week started strong with some really fast recovering from the LST. The main cola immediately pointing up to the light.
I did notice, on day 18, that most of the fan leaves were curling a bit on the end. I first thought it was due to the growth, in the contact with the pot, after LST, but every leaves had it. Since I gave her a lot of nutes, I think it was nitrogen toxicity. I flushed the soil with some filtered water right away, and the plant recovered really well, with the leaves going back back to normal just after one day cycle (which actually surprised me... I had read that it was impossible for the damaged leaves to recover from the "clawing").
I adjusted LST on the main cola, on day 19. The side branches are starting to come out of the canopy. Now that I'm starting to see how this plant is evolving with an early LST, I'm beginning to see some cons of doing it right away: since this plant is super bushy naturally, doing an early LST just increase this characteristic. It becomes really hard to see clearly what's happening inside and it's also difficult to manage the LST, with so many leaves in the way. Also, being super bushy, the leaves are really close to each other, sometime in contact, making it difficult to have a good air flow inside the plant. So I increased ventilation in the tent and I'm keeping a good look on the leaves, in order to avoid accumulation of humidity due to transpiration. It would be sad to have some mold, with such a nice grow.
The plant is starting to produce a nice smell, more and more pepperry and stronger each day, getting closer to a real sweet Mary Jane scent.
@KT2020, Thanks a lot!
I'm trying to stay as low budget as I can so I wanted to avoid the electric dehumidifier... The tent is way too small for it anyway (it's only 40cm by 40cm) but it could go next to the air entrance in order to try to dry the air around the intake. Don't know if that would work and I don't really want to buy a dehumidifier that would do nothing in the end...
I'm really hoping the weather will dry a bit.
@KT2020, Thanks! I also thought it looked great but since I'm very excited, I thought I might be over optimistic about it. Always nice to receive confirmation from experienced growers. =D
