Dear diary,
Week 5 completed and after a scare last week with magnesium deficiency, we were able to get it sorted and continue the mainlining.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
⏰ Day 32:
Gave a foliar of calmag water at 3.0ms 6.1ph during light off so it’s more gentle on the leaves followed by a regular feeding at 1.46ms 6.1ph.
Still seeing some deteriorating continuing on lower leaves, so will get epsom salt tomorrow to really target magnesium and increase the calmag with 0.7ml/l in feeds going forward.
⏰ Day 33:
Gave a foliar of epsom salt at 6.6g/liter(3.2EC 6.3ph)as lights went off but as I read more my ratios were off and I diluted the solution with 50% regular water.
Regular feeding at 1.45ms 6.2ph was given at lights on.
When inspecting the girls a few hours later they look a lot healthier already, so clearly magnesium was the issue.
Will give them today to recover and if everything keeps looking good by tomorrow, I will do the next topping.
If so I will have lost 5 days of progress due to the deficiency, but that’s the upside with photos I guess vs autos.
⏰ Day 34:
Another foliar of epsom salt applied and feeding of 1.5l each at 1.56ms 5.8ph.
A few hours later topping nr 2 done making it 4 tops each now and stripped the remaining growth.
⏰ Day 35:
Did a quick check before lights off and they are praying and looking good considering the topping.
Then I did a regular feeding at 1.56ms 5.5ph when lights went on. Still looking good and no continued signs of the magnesium issue.
⏰ Day 36:
Regular feeding at 1.56ms 5.6ph.
Girls are looking healthy and enough has grown out that I can start tying down the 4 new mains.
Will probably top them again in 1-2 days if everything progresses nicely.
⏰ Day 37:
Foilar of epsom given just as lights turned off followed by regular feeding at 1.61ms 5.8ph when lights turned back on.
⏰ Day 38:
Regular feeding at 1.61ms 5.9ph.
Topping nr 3 was also done bringing it to 8 tops each and I will do the 4th and final topping as soon as the nodes have developed a bit more.
In terms of height it’s worth mentioning that one of the branches of G.C #2 escaped her binds so one of the sides is 18cm while the other matches the others in the tent more at 14cm.
