Day 38
The last feed did not show any signs of nute burn. The stunted WW2 however showed a little tip burn on a couple of leaves. But she's like at least 1/10th the size of others. Plus her soil is hot to begin with. AAH 1, my currently largest plant is still significantly pale compared to the others. Will continue to observe.
Brewed a different tea this time. Thought a lot about it and decided on the below:
30g Bat Guano 5-18-5
30g Silicon Phosphate Seabird Guano 0.4-17-1.2
30g Organic+Inorganic Flowering Fert 4-16-16
The above mixed together and crushed (Seabird and flowering fert are granules and pellet form)
About 500g Worm poop
20ml Fish & Seaweed Extract
4 tbsp Blackstrap Molasses
All mixed into a 5 gallon bucket and aired for 24 hours with bubbler and airstone. It turned out very well. Much better than the last round. Nice earthy smell. Lostsa foam...black and brown. Can't believe i did not take pics.
On to the girls. Early morning pics when i had not done too much damage yet [emoji1]
After feeding and few hours of morning sun, I put them back on lights. Weather was too cloudy. By this time, they had already suffered quite a bit under my hands.
Supercropped really heavily past few days. But am most likely gonna need to let go and let them grow upwards soon. When I planned this grow, i did not expect them all to survive, let alone grow so big. I have a 5ft horizontal space allocated for 3 plants. I'm already out of space and some plants are still stretching. Quite a pity to see them so cramped up and not growing to their potential. I really thought i had more than enough space.
AAH 1. She is still stretching but i have done my best. Supercropped her front back left and right. Not all are bent to expose budsites. Most are bent to "arrange" them and/or cut height a little. At least 70% of budsites have been supercropped to different degrees. On some, I just wanted the knuckle so did not bend. Only pinched the insides. Not sure if it will work? Nevertheless, it will have to do cos there is no space for her anymore. She takes the most space and are squeezing others out of light cos she is also tallest. Did i mention she is still stretching? The most infuriating part is that they are all so straight and uniformed. So easy to just supercrop them all outwards but instead, i got to move them around in the existing tight area. Guessing where each bent budsite will rise up at. Hope that they each have a good spot to receive light is all i can do now. If i get through this grow, will do max 3-4 plants next grow.
AAH2 is much bushier but also smaller. Seems to have stopped stretching and flowering just a little heavier than her sister. No topping done. Only LST and minimal supercropping. She was stunted a little during seedling stage.
PE1. The furthest in flowering so far. All white hairs on buds. Definitely stopped stretching. Defoliated her a lot. Just anything that gets in the way too much. Can be leaves from any part of the plant. I don't discriminate. Lets see if it bites me back....
PE2. Pretty much like her sister but still some green left on some buds. This one, i pretty much bent everything. The smaller center ones were supercropped inwards. Outer ones were bent sideways and some inwards too. Again, space restrictions. She is currently very short. You can even see AAH1 shadowing part of her light.
WW1 is also flowering but not quite there yet. Did all the usual with her too. Not sure what to expect cos her only sister is a stunted version of her. But I do expect them all to be in full flower like PE1 in the next few days. Probably before week 6. Lets see if I'm right?
WW2 growing nicely. Apart from the nute burnt tips on a few, everything seems ok. Fed her the same tea but then watered it down with tap water afterwards. Just a couple hundred ml. Her soil has poor drainage i think so she does not get dry.
I know my pics suck. Even i cannot see what I'm talking about in the pics. I'll try to improve on this area too.
