So, day 14 will start today at 5pm......the bigbud develops quick, the cherries seem to be a bit slower. The "Cripple" shown on one photo develops the slowest. Seems to me, that the cherries had a bit of a problem with light intensity, which surprised me. So I changed the lamp distance and since then they seem to like it better.
Never used led light and am surprised about their power. Never had the problem with too much light intensity. So I will most definitely buy another and smaller lamp for the first week or 2. Operating at 25% was still too much for the cherries. Alternatively I could change light distance in this time.
Plants are fed 2ml of root juice and biogrow per liter. From week 3 on I will increase it to 3ml.
UPDATE DAY 19
Plants receive 3,5ml of biogrow per liter. They drink like alcoholics so now they get about 1litre of pure water and about 400ml of nutrition.
I started LST as you can see. Temperature now sucks a bit, but it's hot outside but will change tomorrow fortunately this is no permanent problem.
If I am lucky and nothing unplanned happens, like insects..... I will enjoy these probably. Plants also began to show gender and look female so far.
In about a weak I will change nutrition for blooming
UPDATE DAY 20
As the pervert that I am I watched this video over and over.........😂
well, the one I posted......What I thought I have seen was slight signs of over nutrition. Wouldnt wonder, because first 2 weeks (more or less) they did get just root juuice and I jumped from 2 to 3..5ml of grow....😁Ladies seemed thirsty but right now I guess, the color I thought was a sign of undernutrition is just the "normal" pheno from the cherries. Sry for my english.
Day21
So I was able to apply a bit more lst since plants start to stretch a bit. The biggest plant in the back got bend down in order to avoid burning the top or having to adjust the lamp.
I get more and more excited to see them develop! I also started taking of lower leaves that are not needed. Plants are super bushy and will have about one more week, before they enter blooming.
The stems are pretty strong and sidebranches get bigger and stronger too. So far, everything alright.
Plant height is about 25-45cm, estimated, but my eye is quite OK. And 1 or 2 cm more or less don't change the general fact that they are impressing me so far
I actually just wanted to share a creative moment I had this morning..... I guess you all know Dean Martins "let it snow"..... Lol
Oh the weather inside is right
And the lamp is burning bright
The trickomes brightly glow
Let it grow, let it grow, Let it grow
Man growth doesn't seem to stop
And soon I'll reap my crop
If lights are turned way down low
I will sow, I will sow, I will sow
When I finally taste the weed
And enjoy the smoke so sweet
I know the potency I have grown
What a stone, what a stone, what a stone
I really love these plants
A true first sight, sweet romance
And as long as I have room
Let it bloom, let it bloom, let it bloom
I don't care what judges think
Just take care that it won't stink
No noise, no talk no smell
Keep it stealth, Babylon go to hell
