Day 22 (18/01/2021): I will finally top them above 6th node and increase the final pot size to 18 L. This time, I want more height under the grid : 30/40cm grid to soil instead of 18 cm last time. Night/day T° difference has been a bit hight for the 2 last days making them grow a little too tall imo. Next 2 weeks will have warmer nights.
As far as I can see, the ladies look rather good for now although, as usually, there is a notably bigger one and a notably smaller too.
Day 23: Watering ph 6,4 + Elycitor 0,4 mg/L / Roots+ 0,3 ml/L for all plants.
Day 24: They grew a lot again during the last 24 hours. One Girl scout cookies has much larger internodes is less bushy than the other: I want to believe it has more sativa in it..😈.
All plants are now strong - even the little gorilla glue- : I will top them tomorrow or the day after, repot them and place the scrog grid in the middle of next week and then start the training. At this time, the distance soil/grid should be +/-25 cm, the grid/ground distance: +/- 55 cm => 1 m / 1,1 m at the max remaining for buds height (*): It should not be a problem as the stretch should be much lower than X3.
This reminds me that, at least, I found the strains that I really want to grow: One 100% african sativa ( Malawi) and the same crossed with 2 Thai strains (Golden tiger), both from Ace seeds. I forgot it existed but when I felt on it, I remember smoking some Malawi cobs when I was a teen and never smoked something like that since. I remembered this seeing cobs on a video and then knew...: I want to become an african/thai cob master ! haha 😂.
(*): In my dreams...: 55 cm grid/ground distance+ 30 cm top of tent/lamp+45 cm mini distance lamp/canopy => 0,7 m remaining for vertical growth.
Day 25: They grew up by 3 cm during the last 24 hours, 8th node spreading for one of the girl scout cookies: Finally, I topped them all above fifth node. No need to lose👇 possibly useful cm.
The distance led/canopy is still at 65 cm ( I had to raise the pannel up everyday)and dimmer is set at 70%.
Day 26: Watering 4,5 L for all plants + Elycitor 0,5 mg/L + Orga grow 0,35 ml/ L + Roots+ 0,3 ml/L. Topping had almost no effect on growth rate and secondaries are growing fast.
Day 27: The girls are allright. There was some slight issue with the little gorilla glue and Jack Here #1 whose green were..slightly suspect and it's gone. I won't tie anything before I repot. Anyway, for now, just moving the fans leaves is enough to see secondaries spreading like crazy. Tomorrow will be quiet and action again on monday repoting the ladies. By that time, the soil shouldl be dry enough.
Day 28: I'm impressed to the max with the SF4000 !! Althought we don't speak the same langage, I can tell they love its light and spectrum !
Repoting tomorrow if the soil is dry enough.
