********Week 9 Vegetation- Sept 12 to 18, 2020*******
This will be the last veg week. Flipped to flower cycle at the end of the week:)
LST this week on these girls. Getting them ready to put in a SCROG I think. Pull them down for now to start pulling them wider and make it easier to fill in the canopy’s net. Actually, they were only tied down for this week. At the end of the week I removed the ties. These girls need to be allowed to grow tall. I achieved my goal of spreading out the branches and making her wider for the start of flower. Now I just have to let her go and hope she will get another 12” to 18” taller in the stretch.
There were 4 feed days this week and Advanced Nutrients Bud Ignitor was introduced this week.......getting ready for flower👍 Switch to Bloom nutes next week. Going to finish these girls with Advance Nutrients line this run. I may have to use a supplemental from Green Planet to get through to harvest. This lines bottles are getting closer to a year and a half old now........use em uip👌😃 Not buying more Bud Factor X for example (still have a couple of syringes worth) but rather will add Terpinator and Rezin instead.
Little more detail:
Sept 12/20
- CalMag @ 2ml, VeloKelp, Vitrathrive @ 1.5ml, AN Sensi Grow A&B @ 1ml
- 610ppm and 5.9pH
- Each girl given 2L
- Pulled out and cleaned up to get ready for netting
- Canopy height fairly even today.....little more time to fill in though.
Sept 14/20
- Giving them a hearty feeding today with lots of ml’s to rinse off the roots a little more
- Sensi CalMag @ 2ml, B52, Microbial Mass @ 1.5ml, Sensi Grow @ 1ml
- 880ppm and 5.4pH
- Each girl given 4L and they had a nice amount of runoff - maybe 30% this time.
- Canopy filling in nice but worried about these girls height compared to Gorilla Girl beside them. Uneven heights down the road??
Sept 15/20
- Add some sweetener to feed the microbes today,.
- Sensi CalMag @ 2ml, Bud Candy, B52 @ 1.5ml
- 625ppm and 5.2pH
- 2L each for the girls
- Leaf colour is a little light so getting the Magnesium up and Nitrogen......that’s why using the heigh nitrogen Advance Nutrients Cal Mag.
- pH is a little low but I am cool with it and working on not letting the pH drift too much yet in their run.
- They are ready.........they want to flower😃
Sept 17/20
- Bud Ignitor introduced today as we get ready for Flower phase next week.
- Sensi CalMag, Sensi Grow A&B, Bud Ignitor, all @ 1ml/L
- 485 ppm and 5.7pH
- Each girl given 2L
- Ready to flip now but I concerned that I need to have these girls at least 8” higher than they are beucase they are not going to stretch as much as the other girls in the tent.
- these girls have some most fan leaves growing.......I want to pull them but I am resisting😉
- Swtich the light cycle tonight to 12/12 and get the party started👊👍
That takes us to the end of Veg for these two girls. They have some very thick main branches and lots of large fan leaves. I expect to see further side branching growth in the next couple of weeks. they both have 4 nice main tops forming so I expect they should have a few chunky buds by the end💪 The girl in the 3gal pot is doing very well and I would suggest looking better than the girl in the 5 gal pot right now. Not fully surprising to me though.......the bigger girl with the extra room for roots, will likely seem a little happier in about 5 weeks but time will tell.
Cheers Growmies and have a great week🙏
