It’s the end of the 5th week
Plant A has stopped it’s stretch at 40 cm (16”), well with a bit of help of LST.
Plant B is much shorter measuring 28 cm (11”), most likely because it was bent much sooner and more severely resulting in a squatter and more even canopy and because it's development seems to be a week late, I expect next week it will stretch a lot.
As I’ve been doing, I watered with only Cal-Max at 0.16 EC (80 PPM).
Enjoy this week pictures
Late night update: I did some more LST on plant B, I really want to know if this form of aggressive approach helps. I brought down the height from 11" to 9" (28 cm to 23 cm). This coming week should see the buds start developing along with the final stretch. I'll try to make a video showing how it's been bent.
@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
