***** Week 10 growth - February 13 to 19, 2021 - Week 2 Flower *****
Mandarin Mimosa is certainly growing beautifully!!! MM1 has been strong and a taller grower from the start. MM2 however has taken off in stretch.......she is also being grown in a 3gal pot so she will be slightly smaller than MM1. These are 1:1 girls but I am really looking forward to smoking this strain😍👍 The terps should start coming out more over the next couple of weeks, Terpinator being added now as well to assist with aromas. Tips up on these girls almost all day long, they are the happiest in the tent this week😂😂
2nd SCROG layer in now....finally😞 Lots of work to do in cleaning up the lower leaves next week. Will do larger leaf strip and lolipoping when they start focusing more on bud development.
Light is at 24” only pulling 310 watt, and the meter at the tops of the girls is roughly 28,500LUX. It is feeling like it’s a little strong for them but it’s close......the curling leaves is slowly increasing on the tops. By the end of the week we are at 400watts and reading 38,500LUX, this should be roughly 980 umol/s/m2.......over 900 and less than 1,000.......should be good for going into week 3.
Nutrients switched over to flower schedule and following week 2.....but so-called back a couple of items. Adding some other items beyond IPP line so backing off some of the ppm to compensate. Still only one “feeding” per week. Early flower so hitting the microbes a little harder this week and next and then slowly start backing off. I like Remo’s Natures Candy for sweetener because it has humic, sweetener and old school molasses, amongst other things to feed the microbes as they are in coco. Bud Fusion being used now for pk boost.........no more “red kool-aid”😂 Still adding Rezin from Green Planet becuase it seems to boost my trichome quantity.....Terpinator likely this week as well......increase some of the sulfer to increase aromas.
Little more detail.......
Feb 13/21 - Day 8
- 3.5L watering with CalMag @ 1ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, Resin @ 1.5ml
Feb 14/21 - Day 9
- 2nd SCROG added today.....finally. Plucked a bunch more leaves in the process
- watering with microbes only today. Recharge has some molasses in it so just adding that.
- 4L water for these girls with Recharge @ 1/2 tsp/gal
- 320ppm and 6.0pH
Feb 15/21 - Day 10
- today is big feed day....its been 7 days.
- 3L each girl with all the IPP line as listed plus silica @ 1ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml. (Bud Fusion was 0.2gr/L)
- 1325ppm and 6.0pH
- Girls gave run off at 3L today so didn’t push past that.
Feb 16/21 - Day 11
- some feed left from yesterday so added 6L of plain water to dilute it and watered into the girls tonight.
- 3L full feed of nutrients for each girl
- 800ppm and 6.1pH
Feb 17/21 - Day 12
- 3L each girl with Terpinator and CalMag @ 2ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, Recharge @ 1/2 tsp/gal
- 775ppm and 6.1pH
- increased light power to 350 watts. Now at 32,500LUX.......take it slow over the next week and keep creeping up. Leaves have a bit of a taco shape coming out and looking fairly serrated at the edges.....pushing the light intensity on the tops👍
- leaf colour on the girls is very good......tips are not burnt either.
Feb 18/21 - Day 13
-3L each girl of plain water today
- added beneficial bacteria and enzymes @ 1.5ml
- 330ppm and 5.9pH
- was looking for a little lower pH as I have not been checking runoff.
- have to do a leaf strip this weekend......start of week 3.
- light power increased again, 400 watts now.
Feb 19/21 - Day 14
- day out day.......they have not had one in a bit.
- humidity was higher today as door to grow room closed today to assist clones with more humidity.
So that takes us through two weeks of flower now. Not knowing these girls enough yet, I suspect feeding will stop at the end of week 6. That leaves four more weeks. I will treat the next two weeks like mid flower for nutes, and the following two weeks as late flower. Feed supplements accordingly. These two girls are very happy and looking like we should get some nice colas from MM1!! They are rocking ETS.......looking forward to seeing the bud swelling next couple of weeks💪👍👊
