I have retied the fabric ties again, as they're growing like crazy. Trying to open up the plant, to grow out as well as up. This will also create new colas.
At this stage, I'm trying not to over fertilise like I did with the last grow.
Focusing on Cal-Mag amino acids and Mega Crop Part A.
The medium is my custom super soil, which is already fertilised with Ecothrive dry amendments. So I could just add water. However, as we've already run into deficiency, that would be careless.
I find it easy to keep an eye on the plants and carefully inspect them daily to act quickly when issues arise.
Learning how to determine the issue is what I'm still learning, which is the hard part 😅
It's all fun though, and I'm really enjoying this grow with all the toppings and FIMs. So far so good!
23.4.25:
I hope everyone had a great 420!
Fastbuds Mystery seed #1 is doing well, she has stayed bushier relative to the RQS Northern Lights, also there has not been so much growth.
The bud sites are developing well and have tight internodal spacing.
I'm determining when to relax the LST as we are now in the beginning of week 3 flower. I do have height. However, I'd like to keep it reasonable. You never know when they will stop growing.
I'm not really adjusting any ties since the last time.
I have also noticed that there are signs of Nitrogen excess. Instead of Mega Crop Part A and Cal-Mag amino acids, I will use Bud explosion PK booster with the Cal-Mag. This will make the N5 the only Nitrogen being given.
It still may be too much, but will monitor closely to see the effect this change will make, if any.
Balancing the nutrients is very important for me to learn, and it's going to be an ongoing process.
I watered today with 3 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with the following nutrients:
♡ 1/2 Tsp of Bud Explosion PK booster by Greenleaf nutrients
♡ 5ml Cal-Mag amino acids by Xpert Nutrients
23.4.25:
Plant seemed to be drinking heavily, so I watered again with 3 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with;-
♡ 2.5ml Cal-Mag amino acids by Xpert Nutrients, and
♡ Ecothrive Biosys 1/8 tsp.
I removed the plant ties and retied the plant after watering.
Less ties are necessary as the plant has moulded and stayed in that structure.
Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out
