Yeah on the last grow I had one big girl, and one that was half her size, so one reached harvest a lot sooner than the other. This time round there is slight size differences, but that's about it at the moment. I find the plant closer to the pump tends to get bigger, first dibs on the nutes I guess!

yeah my closest to the pump is also growing much better than the other. strangely whilst suffering deficiences that the other doesnt. theyl be getting a 205 each for my next grow. im already panacking about space aswell. had a fuckin nightmare with the whole process but dont have the time for coco so just gotta get it dialed in eh. oh also.... a month without changing your res? is that not supposed to be like a really bad idea?

Quick update, I began training tonight. Sweating my tits off under the light trying to clip string to the side of the tray I was. First picture is the two I've trainied (lefties, the oldest) the second picture is the two I haven't trained just yet for a bit of a comparison. Still can't decide whether to pluck a few leaves or not...

Evil, I read a fair bit about changing the res, and found quite a few people not changing every week. I haven't noticed any negatives just, but KushNFT did say it can affect growth and flavor, I'm guessing that is in flower though. I will read a bit more on the subject when I get 10 mins.

14 hrs later....

they have begun to right themselves. I have noticed a bit of an issue though, the plant at the top of the pic, her leaf tips are a little pale and curling down. I have read that this could be a bit of N tox. Will be doing a bit of reading today!

 

[dafthandler]

The two lefties are looking ok and have become nice and bushy. I diluted the res to bring the ec down to help combat the Ntox. I will add more nutes in a few days time when I notice the leaves start to lighten a bit. Training continued this morning, with the two righties taking the treatment:

Still debating defoliation. Some of the leaves are providing a lot of shade...I think I may pluck the biggest ones in a week once the girls have recovered from the training.

Almost forgot, there are now a few signs of sex being shown. I'm guessing a few weeks and flowering will begin.

 

[dafthandler]

We've had a few hot days here recently, and the girls have been drinking a lot! Which has caused a few EC and pH swings. I've got a bucket de-gassing , so will be increasing the water content in the res by a bucket a day to try and slow down the swings.

Something else that I have noticed is that the girls go quite droopy when the lights are off. The air stones I was using don't seem to want to blow out as much air just recently. I think I need to give them a good clean.

My misses is starting to get a bit pissed off with me and the amount of time I spend with the plants, and then on here talking about plants.... any suggestions for that?

 

[dafthandler]

The girls are looking pretty good! I'm very happy with them. No major issues to report, although growth seems to have slowed a little, I will turn the light up to 600w tonight, and increase the ec a wee bit to try and encourage them along.

Left two are 40 days old, right two are 37 days old.
