New Grower Garden of the Hesperides: II

[Reed74]

Looking really good I’d say, but I’m all new to this too I think you’re nailing it!

We can use my small plant as a test subject! I chopped off everything but the 3rd node (there was no 4th node yet) and this is where it's at today. I'm thinking now I was premature removing nodes 1 and 2 but would have eventually when nodes 3 and 4 had grown in fully and the plant was ready to be topped. So let's see how this plant with just a few fan leaves progresses. View media item 23382

Thanks for the input everyone. I'll try and take some specific images of the lowest fans tonight. I think I'll leave them for now but they are starting to interfere with the lst ribbons and are getting squished.

Once the upper fans start to overshadow them significantly they will get clipped for sure. Almost a solid green skirt around the top of the pot.

Day 26: Water and nutes tonight. Definitely entering early flower! Exciting!

Pot felt light but the soil wasn't really dry to the touch so added 1.4L again. By schedule not planning to water again until Saturday so we shall see what progresses.

Additions:
Water 1.4 L distilled 0ppm and 8.0pH (weird should be 7.0, dirty container most likely)
Molasses - dropped ph to 6.5 and 117ppm

Sensi Bloom 1.4ml (1ml/L dilution)
A - 5.8pH 251ppm
B - 5.7pH 484ppm

pH up added - final reading 6.4 and 519ppm

I've been using distilled water for nutrient feed days to combat the high ppm of my tap water. I blend tap/distilled on regular water only days.


Pics: Quite a change from 2 days ago!

Allright so these are the leaves I'm thinking about clipping. They aren't completely shaded but they are getting there. The edge of the pot all the way around is covered. I have an oscillating fan blowing from above but I don't want the inside to get "sweaty." I'll probably just watch the next couple days and see. I did have a couple wet spots in between some leaves that were resting on each other. Rh prob needs to be reduced first.

So many sites forming!

I did remove one fan leaf. It was pushing on 2 other flowering sites and giving them twisted leaves. I feel like this was a reasonable removal.

Clipped!

Ok that was a bit of a long one with a lot of images. Thanks for looking!

When were the pics taken? Before or after watering?

 

[DCLXVI]

Just before. Looking a little droopy isn't it?

You are only using the Sensi Bloom? You did not use any grow?

That is correct. Only Bloom and maybe only 3-4 times at that. Added mykos granules at the start and dosed 1ml miicrobial mass twice with just a smidge of molasses.

I got the schedule from @hope2grow
copy/paste from their perpetual thread, around pg440 I think.....

Days 1-7 tap water thats has been left out to declorinate.
Day 8 until they're in flower AN Sensi Bloom @ 1ml per L + cal mag @ 1ml per L(canna's cal mag atm)
Flower until the end.. AN Sensi Bloom @ 2ml per L, Green Planet Massive @ 3ml per L, cal mag @ 2ml per L.


I left out the CalMag completely as the BioBizz Lightmix soil seems to have a ca and mg component to it and my tap water has loads as well. I've only been doing feed/water/water but I messaged Hope and they said to feed every time so definitely some room to play. I posted the ppm results of 1ml A/B in distilled water and it comes up in the 400 range. Plenty strong for autos from what I've been reading on here.

This is only my second grow. My first one I ran the Autobeast guide and used both grow and bloom. I burned the heck out of my plant but it did work.

They're all looking good, :smoking: what distance do you have your lights at now?

I'll measure for you later tonight.
