It’s the end of the 3d week.
Plant A seems to be in a rush to get to the flowering phase as fast as possible, as you can see on the pictures below flowers are already forming. I’m not sure if the FIM was successful or not.
Plant B is developing nice and good, still behind in its development, but it’s really taking off after the transplant.
I’m been very conservative in the watering department, especially since the pot is kind of big for the plants size. Last watering was 1 liter of water that lasted 12 days and the media was fairly dry by time of the next watering.
The foliage was a but dark green, probably because of the Cal-Max that has some Nitrogen, so this week there was none of it; that seems to have agreed with both plants.
@TomatoloverBoy, winter too, like I'm in now. By using 20/4 light cycle (with autoflowers) and the fans at a low voltage setting, I take care of low ambient temperatures.
Light comes on at 6 PM and goes off at 2 pm, the 4 hour period, between 2 pm and 6 pm is when the day temperatures are warmer and the house is even warmer due heating system.
@zerotwo, thanks, later today I will post the 1st week pictures, I took longer than usual, because I killed one of the seeds and had to start over. That's why 1 seedling is 5 days behind the other.
Low wattage grows are mind boggling! I started with household bulbs and thought I was ‘graduating’ when I bought three real grow lights at 280w each. I received notes from the power company saying I’m using more juice than my neighbors. That could be partly due to my 37 year old refrigerator. It’s huge and awesome and I’m not getting a new one.
. @@Athos’ work (Blynx redux) is inspiring
@growdoctordc, Are you doubtful of the thruthfulness of my light wattage? I did not invent this system. A guy called Blynx did a few years ago, there's a bunch of microgrowers using similar LED bulbs, check the comunity in the ICMAG forums, Marijuana Growing > Grow Diaries > Micro Grows subforum
Great looking plants Athos. The way the four lower branches have developed on Plant A is awesome! Is that directly a result of the fimming process or genetics?
@outdoorsman, LED bulbs promote tight internodes and early side branch development, it's mainly that, also in this case an early FIM, early transplant and good genetics.
I tasted this strain before, it has a sweet woody aroma that makes for a smooth delightful burn down to the end, this is one experience I have to get my hands on again.
sorry for delay @@Athos, with me the effects will vary depending on mood diet activity of the day, but i recall more on the sativa side, alert aware and most important not paying attention to or relying on the tic toc of the clock on time.
@ShaggyGrower, thanks man. It's hard to follow a set feeding schedule, since different strains have different needs; so I prefer tiny feedings every 5 days or so and at the first sign of deficiency, I up the dose. This autos have been hungrier than my other runs, must be the difference in light schedule.
@growdoctordc, even better. Perfect for the wife to use when visiting my parents or they are visiting us. Actually when asked, I ask those t-shirts on her size
Your setup is really inspiring me. Low watts amount , space management with LST , organic nuts : great combo. I was stuck in the "growshop" way to grow with boxes , HID , a 12 bottles set : but you'r showing me the oposite and I like that. Great job bro
