Week of 4/2 - 4/8
4/2 adjusted LST
4/3 watered these girls with 6.4PH with 5ml cal mag, 10ml grow, and 10ml big bloom. They were looking a little light green and hungry. Half gallon each, they chugged those two gallons
4/4 light watering because I noticed one was super light and dry again, they had a huge growth and bloom spurt this week so they burned through water. 6.3PH one got a quarter gallon, the others got about two solo cups. I noticed some patching from how dry I’ve been running these girls, super dry, no moisture leaves on bottom of two plants.
4/5, decided that they needed a full watering to counter the dryness, these girls were super thirsty and dry, and the growth had exploded and LST is working great. 2.25 gallons of 6.4 PH water, 6ML cal mag, 30ml of bloom plant food (not the nutrients). Basically cal mag water with plant food.
4/7, continued to LST, defoliate the bottom leaves, they’re really bushing out and flowering, turned up lights to about 75% power. Heat has now become a problem. Moved lights up, added dehumidifer, adjusted fans for ventilation, turned up exhaust.
4/8, watered with 2 gallons of 6.4 water with 5ml cal mag, 10 ml bloom, and 30 ml sticky sweet.
Looking forward to seeing more bud development. Going to ease off the LST and will do minor defoliatation. Got some HUGE fan leaves and my LST produced dozens of bud sites so will need to make sure air flow improves and find a way to cool down room and take out nonproducing bottoms.
@SavageGardens, yes, I have some tips. The first is to take a look at my diary "VIPARSPECTRA P1500" where I am training a fast buds lemon pie auto with the maininling method. But the best place where you can see car machining with truly exceptional results, go to this profile ( growdiaries.com/grower/canamatoes )and you won't regret it. Try maybe just one to see how you are and let me know;) @@Canamatoes
@DreamIT, yeah mephisto come highly recommended so I’m excited to see the end product. These are my first autos so I’m only going to LST and leaf tuck. Typically I top photos but I don’t think I will on my first auto run, I’ve seen mixed feedback so playing safe. Any recommendations for training autos?
