SUMMARY: Still feeding once every 24hours producing at least 20% runoff as I have done since she was large enough for me to saturate the 5 gallons of medium. No signs of ill health though a little on the pale side and growing very slowly. I think I can say at this point now that I am very disappointed in this pheno. At 29 days from seed she is very small and growing painfully slow. I think its the genetics and not my care as whilst she may appear a little on the pale side I wouldn't expect this much of an impact to the plants development, not to mention I've ran a pheno on very low nutes for weeks and it was pale yet it developed at twice the speed of this plant... DAY 23 -------- Sunday 24th January 14:00 I made 10L of week 3 nutes, 5L at a pH of 6.1 and 5L at a pH of 5.8. I gently adjusted the wire on the NL bending her about 25° more. [27°C/35%] Sunday 24th January 18:00 I fed the NL 2.5L of week 3 nutes which produced 1.1L runoff (44%). I gave her 2.5L by accident instead of 2L. DAY 24 -------- Monday 25th January 19:00 I fed NL 2L of week 3 nutes which produced 700ml runoff (35%). I tried to bend the stem more but it's difficult to hold in place firmly as its tied to a fabric pot which is very flexible. [24°C/50%] DAY 25 -------- Tuesday 26th January 19:00 I fed the NL 2L which produced 700ml runoff (35%). Not much growth in the last 48hrs and so theres no adjustment required for the LST. DAY 26 -------- Wednesday 28th January 18:30 I made 5L of week 3 nutes with rainwater at a pH of 6.3. I fed the NL 2L of week 3 nutes which produced 850ml runoff (42%). Shes really taking her time growing and I wonder if i have stunted her somehow as the vertical growth is almost none existent - I haven't even had to adjust the first LST as the main stem hasn't grown at all since. [23°C/65%] I LOWERED THE LIGHT TO 16" above canopy after reading 12" is recommended but some advise 16" as 12" burnt their plants. I TURNED OFF THE HUMIDIFIER as the tent was at 74% at 20:00 and Jesus is now flowering. Down to 60% by 20:30 just 30mins after switching humidifier off. DAY 27 -------- Thursday 28th January 10:30 I made 5L of week 3 nutes at a pH of 6.2. The RH was at 42% and so I have put the humidifier on at 50% power see how that changes the RH. Thursday 28th January 20:00 I fed the NL 2.2L as it's what I had left of the week 3 nutes. This produced 900ml runoff (41%). Still not ready for even an adjustment let alone more ties. [25.5°C/62%] I LOWERED THE TEMP FROM 26°C to 22°C as I feel 26°C is unnecessary. DAY 28 -------- Friday 29th January 15:00 I TURNED THE HUMIDIFER OFF COMPLETELY AS RH IS AT 55-60% AT 25% POWER. Friday 29th January 18:20 I fed the NL 2L of week 3 nutes which produced 1L of runoff (50%). I adjusted the 2 ties moving the base anchor up a node or 2 to just below the halfway point and moved the upper tie to the top node and gently pulled the top down as much as possible. [23°C/57%] DAY 29 ------ Saturday 30th January 12:00 I made 5L of transition nutes with rainwater at a pH of 5.9. I made 5L of increased strength week 3 nutes (0.5ml extra of each) with rainwater at a pH of 5.9. Saturday 30th January 19:00 I fed the NL a total of 2L, 1L of normal strength week 3 nutes (the last of what I had made) and 1L of the increased strength week 3 nutes. This gave 600ml runoff (30%). Shes grown a little and so I have moved the upper tie higher and gently bent the main stem more. [23°C/50%]
