BIG UPDATE THIS WEEK !!!
----------------------------------
FEEDING MISTAKE / TRANSPLANTING THE PLANT
-------------------------------------------------------
Last week, the plant was showing some feeding issue (some burned tips).
After discussing with another grower ( @Asnoriu ) and carefully listening his advices, I decided to transplant the queen to a bigger pot.
16L can be ok, but I had a long veg (10 weeks), and this was getting too small for the lady. So starting from now, I will always transplant before flowering, since I understood & learned how it help the plant to develop good roots network.
The plant probably suffered from too much feeding with Fish-mix. Asnoriu told me He was using it at 50% of the recommend dose, and not at each watering.
This totally make sense, especially when i look back at my first grow : I used no fish-mix during almost all the veg, and she grow verry well. My gardening soil was probably rich enough for my plants!
I transplanted the plant to a bigger pot (16L -> 30L) and filled the new pot with Biobizz All-Mix soil.
I took the plant from the old fabric pot like if it was a sock : what a niiiice and easy technic ! (Thanks again Asnoriu).
Watered with pure water (ph at 6.2-6.5), without any nutrients (All-mix is already rich enough). I will feed again in 1-2 weeks.
BIG ERROR WHEN APPLYING LST BACK IN THE NEW POT
---------------------------------------------------------------
I had to remove my strings (LST) to switch to the new Pot. When I was applying the LST again in the new pot, I went too far with tension... And the main-lining broke 😟
So I fixed it verrry quickly by releasing LST tension, and using a string to tight the stem where it broke. In less than 5 minutes it was fixed.
I was verry worried that it may have killed my queen.... But she didn't shown any sign of stunt, and 48h hours later, I can say that she look verry good. This doesn't slowed her.
She seems to grow faster since transplant, so all good :) So, note to myself : never try to LST when flowering started, or only verry carefully, with just littles adjustements.
SPONSORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT & LIGHT + TENT UPGRADE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm verry proud to announce that Mars Hydro ( @MarsHydroLED ) decided to sponsor me :)
So I received a TSW2000 (basically 2X the output of a TS1000), and a Mars Hydro tent (100cm x 100cm x 180cm)
That's PER-FECT, since I was already using a TS1000, which I bought because it was the best deal (price/quality) for me.
I'm verrrrry happy about it, and I feel verry lucky to be selected by Mars Hydro 🙌 This mean a lot to me. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm doing my best to improve myself and learn. Learning from the other, and sharing my experience, and being rewarded for that...
Damn, so cool 😍
