***** Week 11 growth - February 13 to 19, 2021 - Week 2 Flower *****
CL1 is staying more temperamental and will start to focus a little more on her separately trying to correct. She hasn’t been giving the most run off of the group so possibly a pH issue forming, could be a little too much water for her?? CL2 has been awesome! She was slower in Veg but her tips are up and she is stretching💪 Looking like she should stack a couple of those colas👊 Also, CL1 has more branching on her just due to limited access to her in the tent compared to CL2.
2nd SCROG layer in now....finally😞 Lots of work to do in cleaning up the lower leaves next week. Will do larger leaf strip and lolipoping when they start focusing more on bud development.
Light is at 24” only pulling 310 watt, and the meter at the tops of the girls is roughly 28,500LUX. It is feeling like it’s a little strong for them but it’s close......the curling leaves is slowly increasing on the tops.
Nutrients switched over to flower schedule and following week 2.....but so-called back a couple of items. Adding some other items beyond IPP line so backing off some of the ppm to compensate. Still only one “feeding” per week. Early flower so hitting the microbes a little harder this week and next and then slowly start backing off. I like Remo’s Natures Candy for sweetener because it has humic, sweetener and old school molasses, amongst other things to feed the microbes as they are in coco. Bud Fusion being used now for pk boost.........no more “red kool-aid”😂 Still adding Rezin from Green Planet becuase it seems to boost my trichome quantity.....Terpinator likely this week as well......increase some of the sulfer to increase aromas.
Little more detail.......
Feb 13/21 - Day 8
- 3.5L watering with CalMag @ 1ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, Resin @ 1.5ml
Feb 14/21 - Day 9
- 2nd SCROG added today.....finally. Plucked a bunch more leaves in the process
- watering with microbes only today. Recharge has some molasses in it so just adding that.
- 4L water for these girls with Recharge @ 1/2 tsp/gal
- 320ppm and 6.0pH
Feb 15/21 - Day 10
- today is big feed day....its been 7 days.
- 3L each girl with all the IPP line as listed plus silica @ 1ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml. (Bud Fusion was 0.2gr/L)
- 1325ppm and 6.0pH
- Girls gave run off at 3L today so didn’t push past that.
Feb 16/21 - Day 11
- some feed left from yesterday so added 6L of plain water to dilute it and watered into the girls tonight.
- 3L full feed of nutrients for each girl
- 800ppm and 6.1pH
- CL1 is coming out of her funk.......or she has just been Hungary the last couple of days😃👍
- CL2 is looking like she is in flower with her thicker stalks, leaf growth in bud sites, bigger buds themselves....she is well into flower now.
Feb 17/21 - Day 12
- 3L each girl with Terpinator and CalMag @ 2ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, Recharge @ 1/2 tsp/gal
- 775ppm and 6.1pH
- increased light power to 350 watts. Now at 32,500LUX.......take it slow over the next week and keep creeping up. Leaves have a bit of a taco shape coming out and looking fairly serrated at the edges.....pushing the light intensity on the tops👍
- leaf colour on the girls is very good......tips are not burnt either.
- CL1, cut two lowest branches from the main stem......they are not reaching high enough on the canopy........energy suckers😀
Feb 18/21 - Day 13
-3L each girl of plain water today
- added beneficial bacteria and enzymes @ 1.5ml
- 330ppm and 5.9pH
- was looking for a little lower pH as I have not been checking runoff.
- CL1 - cut off two lower main branches from her......they weren’t going anywhere......she has too many side branches anyway.
- have to do a leaf strip this weekend......start of week 3.
- light power increased again, 400 watts now.
Feb 19/21 - Day 14
- day out day.......they have not had one in a bit.
- humidity was higher today as door to grow room closed today to assist clones with more humidity.
- CL2 is looking really nice. Bud sites getting larger and not thinking there is much stretch left in them to go.
- CL1 has been slightly happier the last two days......added more air movement around her to help,
So that takes us through two weeks of flower now. Not knowing these girls enough yet, I suspect feeding will stop at the end of week 6. That leaves four more weeks. I will treat the next two weeks like mid flower for nutes, and the following two weeks as late flower. Feed supplements accordingly. Mimosa girls will be taller but these two are holding their own. They are rocking ETS.......looking forward to seeing the bud swelling next couple of weeks💪👍👊🙏
