Week 5’s end had all three sisters in early flower. Last week, I continued my experiment in frequent feeding, keeping ppm in the 1600-1700 range, in an attempt to increase my pathetic yields in my first two auto grows. I switched to top-dressing the plants with Dr. Earth bud and bloom for flowering. I’m still using FoxFarm Bloom, in addition to Cal Mag and follial feeding Fish Shit.
While LSTing #6, I noticed an area where the leaves were damaged (chewed?) and the emerging flowers appeared stressed. Fearing an insect infestation, I sprayed Neem Oil on and under the leaves of all the plants. I also sparingly sprayed permethrin on the suspect area.
#7 is the most vigorous plant I’ve grown so far. She loved topping and responded fantastically to FoxFarm Grow/Bloom combo.
#8 Is the youngest sister but flowered along with the others. She took a while to recover from light burn.
I have the lights dimmed not wanting to burn a seedlings in the tent.
