Dinafem Blue Widow - 1st Grow

Day 57 Plants are finally starting to really fill out and add some vertical height. LST is producing excellent top growth and it looks like I'll be able to take clones and flip to flower by the end of next week. I've started a pre-flower nutrient regimen substituting Pure Blend Pro Bloom Soil for the veg version and adding molasses to the mix. The plants are now up to 2 gal of water/nutes before saturation, although it does take a day for the leaves to uncurl after watering. They need 2-3 days to fully dry before the next watering. I may have to do the last week of veg in the flower tent if I have to transplant to the 7 gal pots before the end of next week ... there's no room the the veg tent for them. Day 60 All is not well in the garden. Leaf curling is getting worse and the lower leaves are yellowing. I up potted into the 7 gal pots and found the source of the problem. The 3 gal pots were a solid mass of fine roots ... so dense the neither water nor nutrients were able to penetrate very much. I aerated the roots with a thin, long neck screwdriver and was able to get great absorption around the stems for an enhanced nutrient mixture while watering the perimeter with plain ph'd water. Day 62 Triage seems to be effective. All the plants are showing new signs of vigor and the curling has stooped and the yellowing seems to have stopped as well. Aerated the roots again and center fed them with another dose of the enhanced nutrients. Day 63 Plants are definitely recovering and grew about an inch overnight. That's a first. The new flower tent will be ready by the end of the day so they'll spend their last week in veg on the new tent before I flip them.
