She was still kicking but I put her out of her misery

9 days ago

Had to remove a lot of branches that died. These are at least responding to the water and leaves are perked up and not showing growing necrosis

20 days ago

I think I accidentally killed her? It got too hot in the tent and I suppose she drank faster than I could check. Her roots were brown and the tea was bone dry when I added water yesterday 😭 the lights came on today and she was still looking rough

24 days ago

Filled the res last night and fed using the mid flower feeding. 9ml calmag and 9ml kelp. She seems likes she’s struggling. She went through a serious growth spurt and then looks to be stalled? I removed a lot of lower branches again and thinner shoots that were crowding the bush. I would rather have less tops with better quality. Removed over two dozen branches I’d say.

Fed her last night with early flower feeding, 9ml calmag, 6/6 worm castings and kelp. I can see the silica working because this stem is much thicker!!! I raised the lights significantly but she continues to droop by lights off time. I removed a lot of lower twiggy stems

She was droopy this morning and showed more rust spots. I added 6 more ml of calmag and she seems happier at lights on.

Changed the water today. I had to kind of edit the feeding on the fly. I realized I was feeding her veg nutes still instead of early flower. So I added a half gallon of water and bloom nutes to fit. Fingers crossed. Silica pouch is still in there.

I have to fill her today. I removed the trellis and snapped a top sadly. I’ll be putting her back in the trellis with more space now. And we’ll see if she can grow thicker colas since she’ll be supported from the start.

Watered her last night with early bloom week 2 schedule. Her roots aren’t as abundant for some reason so I’m going with 3.5 gal and the recipe is for 3gal. I added 6ml worm castings and kelp each, molasses, and about .5ml dry silica amendment again to experiment. I have to be aware of residual from last batch leeching too much this time. Her ph was at 4.8 and I raised to 5.8. Removed a lot of foliage and placed her better in the trellis for now

I checked her ph last night and I was surprised. She’s been curling at the tops and looked stressed, then last night she looked much better so I checked the ph and she was at 4.8. I decided to leave it be since she was happy and just removed a few big leaves. The shoots with more par are shorter since I can no longer rotate the plant to be the canopy even.

She looks like she’s starting to crown? Seems early to me but she’s got a nice natural shape. Excited for this one. Got a new fan and had to add a trellis

2 months ago

I raised her up from 400 to 700 par so she didn’t have to fight as bad for light. I removed some lower leaves. She’s on her 7th or 8th tier.

Changed the water reservoir last night. I decided to feed her according to the week 4 late veg advanced schedule. 4gal with 27.2ml micro 25.6 grow and 19.2 bloom. I then added 16ml kelp, 9ml worm casting concentrate, molasses, and 1 ml dry silica amendment to see if leechin will happen and if the plant would pick it up. She’s very happy even with removing the big fan leaves. No stress if any at all.

I’m going to check her ph later. I haven’t changed her water, so I may do that today as we’re hitting a month. I might swap buckets and update her feeding with added microbes since it’ll be a clean slate. I e been thinking and I don’t have a silica booster, but I have granular silica. Would adding a small amount of this have a negative effect? I removed her fan leaves since they were so big and the lower shoots should see the light. I like her shape so far and can’t wait to use the trellis. I debated on topping her but I kind of want to leave her be and just train the top the even out with the longer lower shoots. Her new growth is starting to look textured and stressed, maybe from those heavy fan leaves.

I have missed so much but also not a lot. She’s on her 4th tier. I removed the lower leaves and first two shoots at the bottom. I want to pet her grow naturally to not stress her too much, but I do bend her from time to time just out of habit. I haven’t done anything to the res besides adjust the ph once as it got out of wack waiting for germination, I added some fish shit, and I upgraded the air pump.

Tier 2 in the center spot. She has odd colors but she’s moving along. Finally has a root showing!

3 months ago

Checked her ph and she’s perfect at 5.9ph. She’s growing slow af and only has one root. She also has a weird color still and is drooping today. Removed the humidity dome today.

3 months ago

Checked and adjusted her ph from like 6.4 to 5.9 I think, still no sign of roots visibly

3 months ago

I hat to adjust the ph yesterday as it was off severely at 7ph I brought it down to about 6.

Broke through yesterday! Let the games begin.

Sat her in water all day and threw her in the set up. It had about 6.3 ml of micro, grow, and bloom with hydrogen peroxide, 1ml clonex, and about 4ml fish shit. Everything was phed and I threw the dome on top.
