***** Week 9 growth - February 6 to 12, 2021 - Week 1 Flower *****
Here we go.......on to flower now. Last week was transition week and bud sites are setting on the girls now.
Lights flipped a week ago to 12/12.......typical flower.
I expect stretch to be strong this week. Pheno 1 is going to be a big girl. Pheno 2 looks beautiful in growth but she is shorter in height........might be more desirable at the finish line😀
Nutrients switched over to flower schedule and following week 1 again this week. Next week will move up the ppm more and start on bud enhancers. More microbes and sweetener this week. Silica ppm also increasing now as not looking to bend branches much more now.
Switching microbes to Recharge and giving the DGC some love👍
Have a hole in the canopy that I am just going to need to live with. GSCHB and MM2 did not growth as expected. They are not reaching up as tall as the others and stretch is slow. Not looking like they will catch up in next couple of days☹️☹️☹️
These girls are vegged one week less than the others in flower with them.......looking to be the bigger girl in the tent😀
Raised the light to 24” off canopy. At 310 watts and 20” they were getting too much light. Pulled up roughly 4” and left the power alone. Liking the change. Another week yet and will work on increasing intensity.
Little more detail.......

Feb 12/21 - Day 7
- Nothing again today.......give them watering tomorrow morning.
- Wondering if their leaves are a little dark........consider bring down ppm next week.......it was hard this week at 1300ppm........water is 250 on its own so around 1100ppm nutes added.
Looking good ETS......Pheno 2 is the smaller of the two but suspect she might be the keeper as far as growth goes😉 Several more days of stretch to go I suspect.
