********** Week 2 of flower - Sept 26 to Oct 2/20 ***********
It has been an exciting week with finding a crack in a main stem and started new supplemental nutrients as well.
On Sept 28 I found a crack and had to do some repairs. Gorilla Girl was better off than one of the Cream 47’s with a cracked stem. GG4 was caught early enough that she didn’t separate much at the base. Looks to be as though I have caused the issue by topping the main stem a little too low😢 Coming back though and when tied together and looked after, its crazy how these plants can heal themselves😀💪👍 Took the tips from fellow growers and decided to try and fabric something with some cushion so that the straps holding the branches together don't cut into the branches. Needed another tool of the trade.......DYNAVAP to calm the nerves😀 because the grow has been going well and this set back has me pissed off as it is grower error😡 Seems to have worked out pretty well.
Switching the PK booster at the end of the week to Big Bud and started to add Rezin from Green Planet. Not much for Bud Factor X left so will run with Terpinator and Rezin as a replcement.
2nd layer of SCROG netting added early in the week, Sept 27/20. They are pushing out a good amount of leaves now and stretching so need to provide that added support for down the road.
IPM spray again this week, last opportunity, with Plant Therapy. There has been something in the tent and I think I have killed them. One more shot though to make sure and before there are too many bud sites. Love this product!!!!!! Works so well at getting rid of thrips and mites.
Really good growth this week. I need these girls to stop now though!!!!! They getting really tall and have roughly 12” above the canopy now. The node stacking is really good and they are forming a number of colas. Looking very positive so far! This strain is so vigorous and she just want to go👍 They have gone from 18” tall to 34” in a week......crazy good growth.
Little more detail........
Sept 26/20, Day 8
- Little heavier feed as they have not been watered for two days
- 4L - CalMag @ 2ml, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Bud Ignitor @ 1ml
- 830ppm and 5.7pH
- will start to let the pH rise bit now over next couple of weeks
- side branching doing very well and coming up.
- GG4 a little bare in the middle of the plant with just four colas.
Sept 27/20, Day 9
- 2nd SCROG layer added.
- GG colas getting long........need to add more Silica as well.
Sept 28/20, Day 10
- more microbes today
- 4 L - Microbial Mass @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml
- 290ppm and 6.3pH
- pH was a little high but left it...wasn't moving and then boom,,,,,,,oh well.
- Good amount of runoff today.
- GG4 has one cola leaves not happy. Not sure if its light or wind. Moved the closest fan to her today.
- GG1 shooting lots of branches right now.
- GG4 bud stacking is happening already and doing very well.
Sept 30/20, Day 12
- Heavier feeding today
- 5L - CalMag, Vitathrive, Rezin @ 2ml Rhino Skin, Bud Candy, B52, Sensi Bloom @ 1ml.
- repaired the cracked stem a little better tonight......not as bad for this girl.
- Try and keep the paper towels wet now so the humidity is high around the wound.
- Should have left a little more branch from the node above when cutting the top.
Oct 1/20, Day 13
- Switching PK booster today to Big Bud......these two girls are past bud ignitor.....already stacking.
- 3L - CalMag, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Big Bud @ 1ml
- 665ppm and 5.9pH
- Since these girls are so tall I am not going to give them Green Planet Massive. I find they get quite a bit taller with that product. I am looking for chunky and not tall so I will keep up with Advanced PK boost.
- IPM spray tonight again with Plant Therapy. Think I have seen some bug damage on Cream 47 girls.
That takes us to the end of week 11 in growth and week 2 of flower. Time will go quick now that we are off and running. Will be done feeding by early week 7. Want a good flush and leeching on these girls to get all the nutes out. I have been missing it by a few days on the last few auto runs and want this photo run to be better as I have a better track of weeks and when she will be done..........should be the end of week 9 to first days of week 10 of flower, about 7 more weeks.
Cheers Growmies and have a great week. Thanks very much to Mr_Motalovah and spacecadet55 for sharing your comments on cracking the main stems. Should be avoidable next time and appreciate the knowledge🙏👍 Looking good Sweet Seeds, she is a grower and filling in already in first two weeks of flower........If you veg longer than 3 to 4 weeks, make sure you have allowed for height concerns💪
