It's been a bit of a rocky week for all the plants, things popping up all over the shop but I'm putting it down to being a noob. Light distances/intensity issues and plenty of upcurling leaves from being a proper wally with my nutes.
Royal Bluematic #1 - She's had a bad case of Light Burn and it's explained below. I've also noticed this one 'moults' the most and I have quite a handfull of dead/deficient leaves per watering where the other 2 plants in the wardrobe barely drop, but I am at a loss with her (other than changing light height and intensity), I've kept her on her nute schedule as I don't beleive nutes are to blame. She's had it hard from the beginning so it could be that....a bit of a bride of Frankenstein hahaha, she's rather stumpy and very bushy with the main cola being quite chunky, again like the Royal Jack my Royal Blue is airy and whispy pistil node sites but plenty of them...why so long to thicc? the other Royal Blue is coming on rather awesomely....hence more pictures of her...sorry #1. I also had to do an autopsy on a branch, I kept wondering why it was looking so buggered and it was due to it being bent right over at somepoint snapping the branch quite high up making it hard to notice, sliced it off and squeezed the end of the branch together, closing it up and keeping it tight.
Royal Bluematic #2 - Well....I'm in lurrrve, she's coming on fine, my lil shorty, budding up with thickness and fat cola, plenty of nodes and very sticky and smelly....Really not a lot long left on her I think? Trichs are not so cloudy yet so maybe a couple more weeks. I have gone and really messed up, the last of her main fan leafs on the cola has crisped and curled upwards which I think was due to being moved to the middle of the grow box and suffered PAR intensity overdose!! I've now moved her back to the side and hope for the best...Not a lot else to say for this one, I'll let the pictures do the talking.
If you can see on the pictures, the leaves that face the middle of the LED are bleached and weathered. I've hightened the light and gave the LED rig a jig and got some more efficiency out of it in terms of height and PAR intensity, I'm still needing to purchase a PAR meter but I have learn't that this 600w does kick out some and if there's a plant directly below it then that's some light blasting down on the poor plant. With my next grow I'm only dealing with 2 plants so the light share will be much better and make much better use of said PAR :)
As for the feed I've notched Guanokalong Bloom up to 0.3ml but keeping CalMag and Rootbastic the same now throughout the grow. I'm keeping the pH at 6.3 as they seem to like it. I'm hoping this week we'll start to see fatter buds and better leaves. Today's album played to them was 'Leftfield - Rhythm & Stealth'
