***** Week 4 December 13 to 19, 2020 - Days 22 to 28 from germination *****
We are moving into week 4 now and she is being trained to allow the lower branching to come up and form more of a bush. She has been eating well but I do feel she is right close to her max before issues begin so will keep that in check. Will bump up the feed by roughly one ml/L for the other girls but may hold off for this girl.
She is a little wet at the start of the week but I expect this to be a good growth week. Desire is to see her getting taller and her side branching to catch up to the main stem. She has the fight in her......just need to let the light down to the bottom and give her some time.......patience👍👊 yeah......like I have lots of that😂😂😂
Since I am starting diaries at the start of the week and completing as the week goes on I don’t really have a summary on the week😂
Little more detail........
Dec 13/20, Day 22
- dry out day for this girl.
- The other autos were watered but this girls was not. Her pot was still pretty have from yesterday.
- I had to take two larger leaves from her today to help with training. Don’t like doing that when she has so few but I just cant tie her down enough with them there so they are gone😵
- Her node spacing is tight and making it a little hard.
- let her dry out......her pH was higher than the others and she is still wet today.
- The others were given Microbes today so she is ready tomorrow as well.
Dec 14/20, Day 23
- going for another dry day.
- her pot is still has more weight than I would like.
- Going to let her dry out even more this time between........feed tomorrow likely.
Dec 15/20, Day 24
- Decided to feed.
- 2L feed with Micro, Bloom, Magnifical, Velokelp, Natures Candy @ 1.5ml = 800ppm and 5.8pH
- Moved the tie out further another node on her main stem.
- Need to get those top leaves out of the way to let more light at the lower side branches so they start shooting up to the top of the canopy!
She has been growing a beautiful shape and now I went and messed her all up😀 She will get going but I am a little concerned so will be backing off the moisture for a couple of days and lower her pH slightly.....
Dec 16/20, Day 25
- dry out day to let the pots get really light.
- want to make sure the pH stays in line so drying out a little more today.
Dec 17/20. Day 26
- dry out day again.
- she is looking fine but I really want to her finish everything in the pot and we give her a nice flower feed.
- she is not reacting as well to the training and has almost been slowed down.
- side branches a little frail and not growing nice and symmetrical.
Dec 18/20, Day 27
- dry out day yet again, last one.
- bringing down the moisture in all of the pots.
- she is fighting things so I want to reduce the light intensity and reduce the moisture levels so I can verify where the pH is at and possibly adjust.
Dec 19/20, Day 28
- time for some feed. Pot was light today. Comfortable giving her a heavier feed now. Want the pot light so I can ensure the pH stays in line rather than drift because too much moisture.
- 2L feed with AN Rhinoskin, Micro, Bloom, Magnifical, AstroFlower, VeloKelp, Natures Candy @ 2ml = 900ppm and 5.8pH.
- She received her first PK boost today with AstroFlower.
- She also received her first dose of Silica today.
- Some lines say to use Silica in Veg but I have always waited until they flip because I am typically bending branches through veg. If I start making them firm too early, they are tough to LST😀👊
- She has some small side branches right now. She is certainly not at 100% of where she should be.
- She has suffered through Veg and will not reach her full potential.......over water????......she didn't show negative signs......pH was part of issue?......little hot possibly with early watering????
- tough to narrow down fully right now😟
Have a great week Growmies and hope your terps are plentiful 😂🙏
