Everything is going pretty well, though one of the strange ones that seems to have never had apical dominance is a bit ragged and has some leaf holes I can't explain as of yet.
Defoliated a lot of the larger/older fan leaves as space is getting cramped in there and with winter coming up the humidity will be worse here.
Did a bit of HST with my 90 degree training clip things to get the lower branches farther out than those above them. Accidentally broke a branch off one of the nicer babies, sigh. :(
Going to do some light tying down tomorrow in preparation for the switch to flower in a week or two.
Feeding 1/3 of the Fox Farm trio, the full dose of their supplemental formulas (kelp, roots, fish goop, microbe stuff, etc.), and spraying them with the Flowers Kiss when I think about it (3-5 times a week maybe?).
Wondering if anyone else has encountered plants that have never had apical dominance? I have two plants plants from different strains (that I am pretty damn sure I didn't mix up), both of which have split off into two separate vertical stalks off of the main trunk w/o topping.
Appreciate the answers but it isn't likely to be either of those things. Both plants split their main stems as seedlings around week 2 inside a propagator with no pest damage to any of the plants. During this time I never gave them any seaweed supplements or other type of auxins, only the small doses of GH Rapidstart that they all received. I've also grown other plants with added seaweed - cannabis and not - without any weird growth or unexpected behaviors such ass loss of apical dominance.
Tried posting another question but it doesn't seem to want to let me, but hopefully I'll solve this mystery one day.
Forgot about the grow medium!
6 parts Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil mix
3 parts coco coir
1 part perlite
1/2 part earthworm castings
Just feeding them each 1.5L or 1.25L of RO water with a bit of GH Rapid Start added for their roots every few days depending on plant size. They seem pleased enough!
Had a bit of a hiccup when I took them out of the tropic seedling propagator into the 40% desert humidity we were having at the time. Drooped and dried out the leaves within 20 minutes! My last plant from seed had been under plastic right up until the point of transplant, but it was also a good 10-20% more humid at the time.
Have to get rid of those unhappy leaves from the humidity change sometime soon, been a week!
Fatter leaves are the Blueberry Cough, skinnier would be the Chocolope or who knows what - just what it was supposed to be when I bought it!
LMAO! I know the pain of trying to stay steady while looking at tricomes and so does my back. 😂.. Now I just clip off a little piece of sugar leaf and look at it on a flat steady surface. Your plants are looking good! 😎
Oh I feel that, it's a toss up whether my back or patience will give out first every time.. 😄
Thanks a bunch, I'm pretty excited! And I can't believe I never thought to use a sample leaf like that...genius!!
Now that I've learned my growing environment and such it's time to experiment and go big!
Next grow is already up in which I'll be attempting a living soil grow with no added nutrients, should be interesting.
