1730
- Gave ladies a drink of 500ml water incl. fertilizer each
- added two fresh yellow cards
- removed my old DIY VPD controller unit (boy I learned a lot - for example that mechanical relais are not as durable as I thought - more on that later maybe)
- Both girls look fresh & healthy - I am looking forward to this week!
Day 30, 09.05.2024
- No action at all today. They are growing fast!
Day 31, 10.05.2024
1000
- Raised the lights by ~5cm again.
- thinking about installing a net that holds down leaves and lets the buds (which are uneven in their distance to the light) receive an even amount of light
- Today after the "night" there will be a round of drinks again as both of the ladies let their leaves hanging
1700
- gave 500ml water incl. fertilizer
2115
- got the ladies out of the tent to give them an inspection. Both look good (from what I can tell anyways...). Removed 2-3 lower leaves and one smaller bud which do not receive enough light (again: from what I can tell - I don't know what I am doing, just following my gut feeling :D )
- and the biggest change: I installed a SCROG Net / trellus net! I was already able to stretch out the branches and it helps me organize the branches and buds towards a much more even canope. It is currently at about 35cm above the pots with the tops of the first branches poking through
Day 33, 12.05.2024
- one round of drinks inkl. Fertilizer: 500ml each. Cheers, drink up!
- also rearranged the buds to better fill the net
Day 34, 13.04.2024
- another slow day while approaching end of week 5
- installed a 3D printed LED display holder - fit light a charm
- soil is bone dry - there will be an early drink tomorrow morning
Day 35, 14.05.2024
- Cheers - drink up ladies! Decided to give a tap more: ~600ml each, inkl. Nutrition
In the end of week 5 both ladies look healthy and good to go. There are a lot of buds visible - I am curious to see how many of those will not evolve into popcorn buds. The height in the end of the week is ~38cm with Erika II being 1 cm taller than Erika I (who would have thought...)
