Day Eighteen Update
My 100th AFN post
And as you can see, the girls have been making excellent progress!
Plant #1
Plant #2
Plant #3
Plant #4
And one to show scale...
They reacted extremely well to the first full strength feed and have really taken off now. The main stem has a good thickness which proves all the attention to the roots has paid off
However all this growth comes at a price and we could be in for a seriously overgrown tent if we don’t restore some order in there....
I think we can safely say order has been restored
They each got bent over, tied the fuck down and got their heads chopped off (at the fifth node for those interested). I was originally going to top them at the fourth node but decided an extra node gives me a little extra scope to work with. This way I can lose any underperforming branches in a weeks time.
The issues with #3 seem to be resolved. The leaves haven’t got any worse nor has it spread like it did before. I would love to know for sure what this is though. #4 showed her lady bits a few days ago and the rest showed yesterday (#3 has only just begun to show, barely) so we have a full house of (now headless) ladies
They got fed today with 5ml Grow and a spoonful of molasses and the lamp is now 6 inches away from the tops which seems to be the sweet spot for light spread across the tent. Temps and RH have been bang on with the lights out temps down to 18 degrees. I’ve ordered up a second tube heater and am going to get the screen installed over the next few days. I’m thinking a heater below the screen and one above the screen should help keep the temps right...
#3 has become the leader of the bunch with #2 and #4 battling hard for 2nd place. #1 isn't that far behind the rest and it's always the runt of the pack that ends up being the superstar
Expect a lot more bondage action and possibly a new SCROG screen by the next update...
I’ve been thinking about my next grow and have decided to go with either a single Dutch Passion Auto-Ultimate or a single Fast Buds Six Shooter in a SCROG in the biggest AP I can fit in the tent in my attempt to get as close to the GPW as I can. I’ve see GPW grows in soil before but they have always been under at least a 1,000w HPS so I don’t know if it is even possible under 400w. I guess we’ll know by April next year...
Regardless of the GPW, it will serve as the perfect warm-up for the EPIC AFN GLR grow off battle with Roark.
Just wait to you see what strain we are running with!
And wallets at the ready because GLR grow off merchandise will soon be available folks! My own Hardon cologne is due to hit the shelves soon....
