Nice week of growth and development. Weโre not really doing much to them right now except letting them grow. Weโll veg another week, do a little LST and defoliate on the day we flip.
We switched light from a 24hr cycle to a 17/7.
At the end of our last batch we had fungus gnats and what looked like mites, yikes. Weโve cleaned our space thoroughly and we are going to take an aggressive approach to prevention. Weโve started a pest management routine. In addition to constant cleaning and an unhealthy sense of paranoia, weโll be spraying a different foliar every week until bud formation becomes too developed. This week was Bronnerโs. Next week will be neem oil.
A couple of these revegged clones have bud sites and trichome development already/leftover even though theyโve been mostly under 24hr light up til this week. Weโre interested to see how they stack compared to the original clones.
As previously noted, some have been topped. Some have not. Weโre looking to see which types of training/stress work best with this plant. Our last batch was heavily trained/tied. Weโre taking a slightly more hands off approach this time. Weโll use trellis to create a full canopy which should not be difficult given how many plants there are. We will not do any tying down. Weโll also only defoliate/lollipop on the day of flip and two weeks after. Not much else.
12/20: temp and humidity are holding. These thirsty little ladies took some more water today which we were not expecting. Lots of new growth; makes sense.
12/21: today was IPM day. We sprayed with neem oil. 75ยฐ and 50% rh
Thatโs it for this week. Thanks for stopping by and happy growing! โ๏ธ๐ผ๐๐ผ๐ณ๐จ
@Dr_Doobie, I know him, I like him a lot. I have a bit of a science background so I really appreciate the burden of proof he places on the recommendations he makes.
That pretty much seals it. Even Shane from Migrow said it was a great light. Literally just ordered one there, so Thanks Dr ๐
