A full week after repotting and they both seem to be doing fine. I fimmed the main branches coming off 48hrs ago and have watered once straight after. I'm still keeping the lst going by bending the branches down and the knuckles are getting thick now I'm pretty happy with the look so far.
Also worth mentioning I sprayed with calmag 12hrs ago.
if you see any issues please feel free to comment.
hello, so like a sausage i deleted my before and after photos, idiot i know. anyway i put a exhale co2 bag in the room and a humidifier and wow i dont know if its in my head but these girls seemed to have jumped in growth, not up but wide like i want, iv been constantly bending branches down and when they reach the edge of the pot iv been following it with the stem, its looking pretty busy now. iv not done much else with them the obvious watering and i sprayed them with a cal/mag spray at 10ml/l at the beginning of the week and gave it some folair at the end and thats pretty much it. i did add some npk raw yucca to the mix but that was only 24 hrs ago and not expecting much change.
any thoughts please shout.
thanks guys
Day 56: Did some defoliation today and tied the branches down again, gave them a big watering after the trim. I included 1 drop of superthrive to 10l of the mix figured it might help it recover.
I checked on them 9 hrs later and i was shocked how fast it had recovered from a pretty major tying down and a bit of defoliation, didn't want to go to mad first time, thought my friend managed to break the end of a nice branch clean off so that kinda sucked but we did stick it in as a cutting so well see....
Day 57: At the start of d57 things are looking good again plants nice and perky and no huge signs of stress so far so good.
week 9... i think i didnt plan on the diary to start so wasnt keeping track but yeah week 9.
had some awesome growth from this little mis this week, the addition of the blackjak seemed to give the plant a huge boost which is great to see but i would say its worth the price for the results, iv kept to tying the main branches down but kinda just been letting it do its thing for the most part. still watering every other day but definiatly noticed the coco drying faster so will be keeping tabs on that.
I have to say after adding the drain to waste system if your budget allows for it to invest just for the easy and lack of stress its worth the money.
thanks
week 10: been a pretty good week seen lots of growth from both of these girls, i also noticed some damp spots on the leafs so decided to give her a trim up, thought id gone a bit cray after but both bounced straight back and had no issues at all. nothing else major to report so ill keep it short.
week 11 ish. has ben another good week seen lots of growth both up and wide, iv decided to make up a scrog net to try and even all the tops out with the other plants, put it in at start of week and by the end most had grown through.
iv decided im going to gradually flip them all next week so have done some defoliation on one and lollipoped the other (was going to do them all but it was 3am so balls to that)
iv had to give them 3ml/l of the a n b as i was running out but thats now arrived so will be raising it slowly for the flip.
they are a bit behind because like a dummy when i put the second light in i had forgot i raised them right up, beginners fault but either way these both seem really happy and im seeing a lot of pistils so ill be dropping a hour of light every 1 to 2 days for the flip.
Also i did clean the floor after the trimming just not before the pictures
week 12...ish. so wedding cake 1 and 2 already looked like they was ready to flower so i flipped these on the friday, unfortunately after a factory reset i lost loads of photos. so here are the ones i saved.
i went with the slow time drop taking a hour off every day, after day 2 i swapped the bulb for the flowering light, not too gradual but it seems to have worked for them, i kept everything else the same but in the mid week i sprayed them with the sumo boost as it says to help start the flowering process.
iv had to defoliate to open them up and keep the air flow but they still seems very tough so heres to hoping for a nice transition
Hey there friend. Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit.
I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily.

For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1
This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil.

As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully.
So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process. I really think you would benefit from our tutorial series on youtube, Our channel is linked off our main grow diaries profile. We just put up week 3 of plant life care so you got time to subscribe and catch up before the next episode is out! I look forward to seeing you over there and hearing your feedback to better help me shape the tutorials
Happy growing friend!
