Happy 1st of the month!
Plants are doing alright, bud sites looking good. I am seeing a deficiency in everything but the OMG. This could be from the Aloe / Coconut water I added - so I will stop the usage of Aloe Vera and lower the amount of Coconut powder. Lowering the Ph down to 6.1-6.2 just incase the Ph got too high - I am going to capture some run off for the first time as well (It's watering day). Will update again with results.
While reviewing other peoples flowering entries, I noticed my bud sites seem to be more developed on week 4 than others. Week 5 should be interesting since that's when we should see some fattening up of the buds.
Thanks for checking in.
Hey Man! Question on the chempie. I see you topped the main stem. Ripper seeds recommends FIMing this strain. So if I planned on FIMing the main top, will the main stem keep stretching? Or will it stop where I FIM? Just trying to get an idea of how tall it’ll get.
@AccyStoner25, Hey there! I read the Ripper Seeds description recommending FIMing on the Chempie as well. This is my first grow in ~7 years so I can't speak from experience. But from what I read is that Topping/FIMing share similar goals. One of them being having the plant start growing laterally https://herbiesheadshop.com/blog/topping-vs-fimming
I am using Nebula’s Manifold "Main-Lining" https://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold which uses the Topping technique.
Chempie is vigerous for sure, but with Topping or FIMing along with LST she(hopefully) is manageable.
