Week 7 Veg - January 16/21 to 22/21 *****
Week 7 will be their last week being able to take them out of the tentπ SCROG netting going in on the weekend ahead. Not really a lot to report this week as the girls are doing well and I am just wanting their side branches to grow longer to help filling in the canopy anyway. Performed more LST this week and bending over the branches daily. Didnβt do any HST this week, will once the net is in and I have a better visual of how the branches need to bend.
They have come a long ways over the last 2 weeks when you look back at pictures. They have filled out with more side branching and other than battling a little purple striping on the main stems they seem pretty happy. Leaf colour is good and should be in good shape for the flip soon. Will go through all of week 8 before flipping so hopefully week 9 will be transition week and week 10 the start of flower.......have to get through next week first thoughππ
Switching over to tap water again. I have been struggling with calcium and magnesium deficiencies on all grows for the last year. I canβt seem to get the right amount added back to the RO water I use in all feedings. So running with straight water again now. Ppm coming out is 325 so I will work with that. Going to explore my own RO system in the house rather than bottled water, a system that adds back calcium, magnesium, and iron. Itβs been flowing okay for the first week and will continue on for now. Using RO water I have been feeding full strength on the nutrients and have been working on backing them down a bit to compensate for the starting point of 325 now.
They have continued to be fed once a week roughly and supplemented with calmag and microbes.
Little more detail.......

- 3L each of full line at full strength in RO water

- pulled down all the girls again tonight to train them outwards.
-
Jan 18/21, Day 45 Veg
- 3L for each girl today with tap water and CalMag @ 1ml, Microbes @ 2ml, Natureβs Candy @ 1.5ml
- 700ppm and 5.7pH is what that works out to.
- have to use a considerable amount of pH down to adjust the tap water, over 6ml in 16L
Jan 19/21, Day 46 Veg
- measured the girls today, GSCHB Is 12β tall. They were topped alreadyπ
- dry out day for the girls.
- pulled two large fan leaves from her. They were just getting the way too much of lower branches light.
Jan 20/21, Day 47 Veg
- 2.5L each with plain tap water
- 295ppm and 5.8pH.
- all the girls are looking big and bushy today.......they are ready for flip soon.
Jan 21/21, Day 48 Veg
- dry out day for the girls.
Jan 22/21, Day 49 Veg
- pulled all the girls down again......repeating the same LST each day manually rather than tying down for now.
- this should be water day but leaving for today as I am going to lolipop the lower branches and a heavier leaf stripping tomorrow.
- will feed tomorrow as they will benefit more.
Very solid week ETS......the girls are taking off and expect to see lots of leaves popping out over the next couple of weeksππ
Work on the side branching to come up higher closer to the tops next week.......continue tap water and give a feed with Epsom Salts new week
Hey man, what brand name and model is that humidifier? Low humidity is my biggest problem. Have used two different humidifiers that don't do shit. Nice plants!
@Ronald64, Its was from typical box store. "Air Care Aurora Ultrasonic Multi-Colour LED Humidifier & Aroma Diffuser"
Works alright. When exhaust going though and depending on canopy, trying to keep mid 60 to 70% then I have to run two humidifiers in the tent to keep up.
