This past week I gradually shifted to 12:12 to start flowering! I am thrilled to see how this beauty fills out with flower! This is my first grow so I may be overly enthusiastic.
She is growing like crazy each day. I continue to prune for light penetration and defoliate the underside of the canopy. I’ve been very cautious not to over prune because I don’t want to shock her, but I think she loves it! Usually she just explodes with growth and I can’t even tell I’ve pruned after 2 days. I know that these next few weeks will be the stretching period and I’m just pumped to see her fill this tent.
I’ve had a bit of a struggle keeping the humidity down at night. No humidifier on but the tent still gets to 80 RH with the lights off by morning. I ordered a humidistat from Amazon and will use that to automatically switch on and off my humidifier/exhaust fan. Definitely don’t want to end up with mold problems once she flowers. This plant has been my baby for the past 3 months!
Feeding: 2/3rd Grow Big, 1/3rd Big Bloom. Will continue to ween off the nitrogen feed for Big Bloom over the next week or so. Some growers use a lot of other additions, (my soil PH has always remained around 7) so hopefully these two are giving the plant enough of what it needs. I can’t wait to see what her yield will be!
@always_ending, For my seedlings, I use a spray bottle to water. I feel that helps keep the top soil moist but not too saturated (don’t want to rot those baby roots!) but I am a new grower and am still constantly learning. I realize now that I did a lot of overthinking in the beginning!
