Week 2 went well. Plant 1 kicked off the bloom cycle with a bang, plant 2, still asleep I guess🤷♂️ finally showing a flower formation on day 14. Plant 1 was showing after 34 hours of dark, day 2.
As far as the canopy goes, 74 out of 81 squares filled. I'm guessing one more tucking session in a week and we sit back and watch.
Cranked up the food to, again, what general hydro recommends at this stage aswell as some bud start I had a sample of from a buddy.
I dont intend on buying any magic potions this time around, just the future harvest samples I have. Setup needs a reformat, at that point I will settle on a nutrient line for the next grow.
The root mat seems to be working as I hoped. How this affects yield/quality vs extra veg who knows🤷♂️ but more roots more buds right? I'm also zeroing in on the dryback cycles which I believe is causing more branching and less tap root entanglement. Hard to capture but the root mat is a crisp white for the most part. In the photos, the dead yucky brown rot looking portions are actually only slightly darkened. Hopefully light leak, not fungus as the brown is only on mature roots and not slimy in the slightest.
What can I say about barneys ayahuasca purple. Its purple already😅
I must add, flower set is a beautiful thing.
The anticipation is building, fingers crossed🤞
