First pic is showing off some of the stretch that has occurred.
We start “Above the Stakes”this week.
-Sun 10th; it looks like the R plant is making a solid effort in its Stretch, which has just begun & is really happening. The L plant is flourishing and nearing the end of its own stretch. There is an image of the pair with 3’ showing on a tape measure as reference.
Jan 11 Good things are happening as the circle of branches starts fill in !
** as a side note, the Uv-B is going back on for 6hrs a cycle (3+3) after some more reading and the recent stretch action from the plant on the R. Nothing wrong with a weeks delay in nature between sisters & UV-B sounds like solid tech. Power is on again **
- Dinner-time after 4 days.
- Hole drilled in overhead corner-bracket, to help Centre the Light.
- Plants have been rotated a bit, LST (lashing-some-timber lol) re-positioned a bunch of branches/stakes, meshing the two plants together, in the middle. nuf snapshots. details as the week-ends.
-Nutrient ratios are Max’d as the volume will continue to climb for 2 more big feeds.
-rapid-start & cal/mg have already been dialed back a bit.
My watering volume per/24hr now shows my water use in metric. That # is based on the last 2 meals and I’m now looking at 5 days without nutes...
14th, Steady progress all the way round. Moving lights and supports as needed. Reach continues on the Right plant, while the Left continues to look amazing
-molasses in next feed (Sat), TDS to be updated
15th -the volume of water my plants have been receiving, has been larger each of the last 4 feedings. Extra time between feeds has been allotted and watering based on Pot weight/dryness is keeping the plants Full and Green.
-The next feed will be half the volume of the last one.
The goal tomorrow (day 5 since last feed) is to immediately satisfy the plants nutritional needs with a small meal (7 litres/2), but then it’s going to scream for more food. This time I will wait only 2 days and return to the larger volume and a 4-5 day cycle. That’s the plan.
Goal was to raise both the volume and demand for more nutrients. (Without creating a swamp) It’s been kind of patchwork getting the numbers-up, and this is the first pause in that steady climb. Both plants seem to be firing in all cylinders.
Sun Jan17
- adding Molasses to each feeding from Week 5 on in to harvest.
- 2 days since last half-feed.
Big feed tonight and 5 day gap next.
-Reached my Max H2o volume with solid Nutrition #’s. Plan is to hold levels for week 5/6 and then begin to taper nutes & volume slightly in 7/8 and hold till flush (11) & harvest (12/13)
** this grow is my best effort yet, if anybody sees or feels it’s getting “sideways”... I would love to hear about your opinion/concerns. **
The buds that are forming, actually have some substance to them. Tired of Indoor Popcorn. This grow is hapnin
