Right on.
She doesn't have far to go before I need to hook her up in the restraints.
I've been playing around with my net trellis and The White Train. Pulled the cola down just below the side branch buds. I think that stimulates hormones in the " new tops". She looks damn good tho. I know she's yellow. Each sussessive plant of my first grow looks better than it's predecessors, so I think I am headed in the right direction....[emoji271]
Also, Horticultural Lighting Group recommends leaving 30" between cob and tops, so I have my trellis 36" down, leaving 6" free for vertical growth.
[emoji199][emoji89][emoji201] is the first mamacita to hit pre flower without prevalent discoloration, so I still take a deep breath every time I open the tent, expecting some spots, or some yellow.
The pink petioles are trying to creep in. I think that's a pH problem because I noticed Phosphorus accessibility drops off precipitously below 6. I am at 5.8 cause I can't pH the teas. {Update: pH 6.3 [emoji122]}Gonna bring in some H²0 @ like 6.6 next hydration. {not anymore}
But I happened to have a sample of Roots HP², straight P. So I whipped up a little batch of P, and kelp, and yucca foliar. I Wikipedia-ed foliar feeding, (ff) and the discovery of ff included Phosphorus in the experiments, which was shown to quickly spread throughout the plant.
So I went for it!
I like the accelerated learning process of my 9 plant first grow.
Unrelated and potentially impertinent, my Auto Livers1 was born the same day as MBAP. She is a mutant dwarf, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. She started slooowwwly, like not growing for a couple weeks. The rest of the tent was yellow, and she was TINY but GREEN. So, a keeper! Intent on giving her a chance, but reluctant to waste the real estate incase she fizzled, I dropped AL2 in the same pot.
As soon as 2 popped up, 1 got jealous and began acting out, expanding and throwing shade on 2. Lol
So I am LSTing 2 to the side to keep be her basking in the PAR.
Thanks for your temporary indulgence but I'll try to stick to the
[emoji199][emoji89][emoji201]. Thats why we're here. : )
Ha.
{Update}:
Began MBAP shock-cord LST last night. Pictures at 11.
Jah Blessings to all y'all MBAP cultivators.
Much Love
