Day 16
Things starting to get me excited! Not as if I wasn’t already enthralled
Girls looking real happy and showing off their sexy bits, thank you Dutch passion! Finding it quite amazing what a difference starting these ones on the cobs straight away is making compared to the cfls. Secondary growth is leagues ahead of what I had at this stage last grow. Bin the cfls basically!
They are both a bit dark in colour, no.2 showing slight signs of n tox, but no feeding as of yet apart from the rhizo. Potting mix probably going to be sufficient for another week or two.
Pots getting much lighter now, think roots have spread out and sucking up all that moisture from the pre soak.
Gave them 750mls each today of 1/4 strength rhizo, 1ml to 1 litre ph’d to 6.5. 750mls doesn’t seem to go very far in these 5 gal pots, so will carry on increasing the amounts as I go.
Felt they were happy enough to give em the snip snip! Topped above the 4th node
gave them a little leaf tucking after taking some pics too. Rhizo supposedly helps with stress, not sure if that’s just below ground or above as well, but thought timing the topping with the feed of rhizo made sense.
Climate: 20.4c-27.1c, RH 36%-48%
No.1
She’s much shorter than no.2 still, with tighter nodal spacing and still a bit wonky, but besides that seems more than happy. Putting nice effort into secondary branching.
So dense you can barely see anything!
No.2
She’s the one that’s showed some signs of n tox, but it doesn’t seem to be progressing, will see how she takes to this watering. Nice spacing/stretch and good work on secondary branching going on.
Group shot
I switched the pots around, thinking their positioning may have something to do with the height difference between the two of them. Probably has nothing to do with it, but may as well try!
Thanks guys!
