Week 4 (12/1-12/7)
Day 25 (12/3)
Man, I have this diary all messed up. With finals wrapping up and enjoying the start of my vacation, time has had no meaning. My days are messed up, but I promise I will be better about keeping up and posting more and in the right weeks 😅. She's still going good. I got my 4x4 tent setup and my drivers arrived yesterday. I have two HLG QB96s coming in today that I will use to run half of the 4x4. I eventually want another pair of QB96s for the other half of the tent, but that will come later. I'll need to get a few other things today/tomorrow, but hope to get the 4x4 going soon with a few plants. Will probably still finish off the Hindu kush in the 2x2, but we'll see. Might move her into the 4x4 so she gets that red light boost from the 96s.
Day 27 (12/5)
She's still keeping on. I adjust her ties daily and attempting a cleaner LST this time, really trying to spread out everything. Idk if I'm even doing this right, from what I've looked up this seems right-ish? Any tips, tricks, or advice (LST or anything really), I am all ears and extremely appreciative. This is only my second plant and I am always learning. Like an old eskimo once told me, "Learn from others mistakes, life's too short to make them all yourself". My new lights are here, two qb96s that I'm going to each on an HLG-185h-54B. I'm still waiting on a few parts to arrive, but should be pretty slick. I'm putting in a male/female plug connector between the driver/light so that I can easily disconnect if needed. I'll mount the drivers externally, thinking on a board, but will have spacers between the driver and the board to allow better heat dissipation. I'm keeping an eye out at thrift/junk stores for something that I can mount the drivers and have the dimmers attached. I'll also have some inline waterproof connectors so I don't have wires sticking out or groups of Wagos just hanging out
Day 28 (12/6)
Watered her down yesterday with about half a gallon of pH'd water and some Mammoth P
Day 29 (12/7)
She's still trucking on. Seems to be over an initial deficiency and on the right track. I think she started out low on magnesium, based on how some leaves had yellowed interveinal areas that progressed to yellow leaves. I think I'm getting a better hang on this LST stuff, at least that's what I'm hoping for lol
This color change started a few days ago with my new growth. Is this normal? Deficiency? Something to freak out about? It looks cool but I don’t know what is going on.
