Permanent Marker is really coming along now. She's in the first week of flower. I've added the UVA/ UVB bulb, and it's just stretching and looking really good. The leaves are a nice green colour, nice and lush.
I'm still debating whether or not I should start any LST. The one branch after the FIM was a little bit taller than the other one, but it seems to have grown up really nicely now. There's about 4 really good ones at the same, or similar height.
I will keep an eye on the tallest one, and if I do need to tie it down, I'll just use some soft garden twine to do that and I'll tie it to the edge of the pot.
So we'll see how it goes. Although I am very tempted to just leave her and see how she grows. As an experiment without too much further intervention.
So overall, I'm really happy with how she's done this week. And looking forward to next week and seeing how we get on.
Here is what I did this week.
I have added an additional 100Watt UVA/UVB lamp, as the uppermost canopy of Acapulco Gold is blocking pretty much everything in the tent.
Hopefully, this will aid the shorter plants in surviving until I can harvest it. There will be so much more space and lighting. Can't wait! 😅
25.9.25:
I watered with 3L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with;
💜 Sea K 3 TSP
PH: 6.5
PPM: 595
26.9.25:
I watered with 2.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with;
💜 Cal-Mag 1.5TSP
💜 Sea K 1.5TSP
PH: 6.2
PPM: 1210
The fungus gnats have really incresed since I did a watering of the whole tent.
I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days.
Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5 cm.
Thanks for checking in this week, and let's chat in the comments! 😁💚✌️🧡🙌
