WOW!
Ok the amount of growth since she moved into the new bigger container and got sunshine full time is mind blowing! There's just no competing with nature for one, and a larger substrate....it really shows how limited your growth can be by container size and lighting choices. Amazing! I worried a little about stretching for light but I think it's just been a great boost of changes in a short time.
Just one day after her transplant she looked more full and taller...which was great because it can count as a successful transplant. But doing about 6 inches of growth in a week is spectacular!
We're full swing into summer now and the temperatures are in the 90s every day, and mid 60s each night, the only negative is how low the humidity is here...a good day around here is still below 35%. I didn't notice any drooping or other irritation so I think she's acclimated nice and quick.
I went ahead and decided to start doing some Topping on her...first the main and most likely a few more down the road. She handled it beautifully, no negative effects as of yet.
I'm not going to be giving much nutrients over the next couple weeks as her new pot full of Fox Farm Strawberry Fields and Ocean Forest should be enough for a while. Just plain old hose water! No PH'ing!
Thank you all for the continued support. โ๏ธ
"Happy summer to all in the western hemisphere"
bruh... that's not how seasons work ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
also. a ph of 8 will be terrible for you. at first you won't have a problem but after a couple weeks - you'll see.
I know many ppl are strapped for cash right now (myself included) but with just 15$ you can resolve this and get peace of mind. Get a PH- that will last you ages AND a PH test kit with drops. those things IMO are better than having a PH pen and you can get over 500 tests out of one. Once u get the hang of it you will only be doing tests like once a week so you see how long it will last you. I think u really should consider.
if you want DM me and I'll show you the ones I mean. get both products delivered to your door in 48 hours.
best of luck to you growmie. Wishing u a successful grow and bountiful harvest
@DaSofaSurfer, I definitely agree with you that more often than not, when I don't ph it goes a little wonky.
And a secret between us... there's a couple weeks coming up where things get a little questionable, but I'm not sure if its because of underwatering(chronic drought, i was so busy for several weeks), outgrown container and the roots bound up, lack of extra nutrients because I only feed once a week, or because of ph.
When i checked the initial startup ph it was showing 6.6 and my area usually has the 2 different phs, springtime and fall. Fall usually spikes up to about 7.7-8.3
@Treighfunky, thanks tre. You should see the finish! Holy crap she got so purply red with the cold temps. I'm cutting her today before it freezes tonight.
@Treighfunky, thanks Treigh, this one has definitely turned out to be beautiful and strong. I've gotten lucky with a few good, unique and beautiful plants this year. 2020Garden good...2020year not so good. Lol
๐HAPPY Hump Day! Great Update and your Ladies are moving right along!๐
