Dinafem Blue Widow - 1st Grow

Day 42 The plants seem like they're starting to grow a bit faster ... they're finally up to 6” and the topped nodes are elongating enough that I think by the end of this week I should be able to start LST. They're still perky from the saturation I gave them day 39 but they'll get another through watering at the first sign of droop now that I know what's causing it. Day 43 Soil was dry so even though the plants showed no ill effect I used a gallon of the light nutrient mix on the 5 of them. Lowered the light fixture to 24". Day 44 This is exciting. For the first time there was measurable growth overnight ... about 1/2" vertically. The plants are finally starting to stretch out a bit. Started LST … pipe cleaners and weight (17gms) to start. Gave light nutrient mix Day 46 Lowered the lights to 18”. Upped the nutes to 2tsp PB Pro, 1 tsp Liquid Karma, ½ tsp PB Tea, ¼ tsp Rhizo Blast. 5 plants drank 1 ½ gal with virtually no run off. They're growing fuller but not really tall at this point. There are definitely 2 distinct phenos ( 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5?? ) here and possibly a 3rd. Evening update: Had to add more weight to keep the plant tops spread. 3 & 4 now have 30 gms on the main tops and 10 gms on the sides. 1, 2, & 5 are all at 25 gms on the main tops. Daily misting with plain water continues Day 48 Dinafem lists Blue Widow as a light feeder, so I've been adding nutes very gradually ... and it turns out that's a good thing since I see the beginnings of tip burn on 2 of the plants. Flushed all plants with 1/2 gal of ph'd plain water.
