So 2 weeks back, I moved the plants from the 2 troughs into individual 5ltr pots using the same vegetable compost and perlite - mixed a little from the original trough with the new mix. Of course, transplanting is where you can lose your plants as they definitely can suffer from shock.....but not this year. They were sturdy and I think quite determined to continue growing.
For the next 2 weeks, the Mimosa powered up high with her long thin stem and leaves. The OG Kush is simply a different beast altogether - much shorter and fatter leaves.
Now, week 6 since planting, 7 since germination, I have 4 flowers in a small tent, all are doing fantastically well, the tomato feed seems to have gone down well with the battery operated drip feeder. The weather has really warmed up so it's a steady 24-26 degrees even in the shade, and dropping to 22-24 degrees at night time. I've just put in a fan, the extraction system is functioning perfectly with very very little smell so far and the LEDs are 18/6 and not creating any heat.
The Mimosa has lots of flowers forming while the OG Kush is starting to look like a fat little short monster who will start to flower next week. I reduced the watering cycle 2 weeks back to 20 seconds per day and it seems fine but I have noticed some small flies. The top of the soil is damp and this encourages these flies to lay eggs. I've just placed a small cling filmed covered bowl of apple cider vinegar, water and liquid soap to attract the flies with small one way entry holes. Plus, I coated some small squares of yellow plastic with vaseline to further trap them.
The date is 4/July. We are 6 weeks in. In about 3 weeks I will change the lighting to 12/12 and expect to harvest the second week of August.😀
