This has been a thoroughly satisfying week. She's absolutely green and healthy, enjoying her place in the sun. I wish this part of the yard got more direct sunshine hours but it's definitely adequate this time of year. Our humidity continues to stay low like always...but I feel like plants in this region have just learned to accept it and require watering everyday other than every 2-4 like other places might.
This plant has pretty big internodal spacing and at first I was a little worried that it was from stretching but @Dinafem says that this strain typically has large spacing and enables good light penetration which is great for any outdoor growing but also handy for an indoor environment where light is crucial. So far I'm very satisfied with this plant and would definitely recommend it to someone who has a decent growing season.
It was another great week for growth also, put on another several inches, her new 2 mains from topping look incredibly healthy and strong, those several large fan leaves have just gotten bigger...they're like massive solar panels. I expect ill top once more to two branches and get another split leaving 4 main colas and then just let her grow naturally to the end. With the grow starting late in the season I don't expect she'll be much bigger than 5 feet or so, but more than adequate for a quick outdoor season.
I hope everyone is having an enjoyable growing season. ✌️
"Happy summer to all in the western hemisphere"
bruh... that's not how seasons work 🤦♂️
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
