Week: 10 - Day: 68
All along the leaf blades on this Auto Euphoria are now beginning to fill in with a lovely dark colour.
Some leaves are a little lighter due to them growing into the LED so fast and vigorously.
It was observed that the tallest part of the plant had a rust like spot on the very top leaf which is a calcium deficiency.
This was due to the LED being so close to the highest part of the plant.
Leaf clawing has been sorted by correcting the amount of Nitrogen in the base nutrients.
Some clawing still exist on the older growth but new growth is perfectly fine which means an over all happy and healthy plant.
Almost ten weeks into this grow and finally vertical growth has slowly but surely come to a stop.
Yet nothing is stopping this plant from its rigorous and vigorous side growth.
Horizontal growth is still growing out at a fast pace as this mature plant is now coming in at a Height of 112cm and spread of 120cm. She has almost grown over 30cm in as little as over a week.
Side stems are starting to fill in and toughen up but we will have to wait see if she will need some extra support when in full flower. Hopefully all growth will have stopped by sometime next week.
The flowers are coming a long nicely on this specimen as the pistils are now fully developed with one or two turning amber.
Some slight formation of budding is now underway and some of the sweet leaves are covered in THC already.
The Trichomes on the small flowers were checked today using a jewelers loupe at 60x.
Not surprisingly all the Trichomes are still clear and just beginning to form in clusters.
Next week it will be time to add some Pk 13/14 to give the plant a vital boost to the flowering production.
It really is amazing what some Low Stress Training can do to the lower side stems of the plant.
This massive bulge shows quite clearly that LST is very beneficial as it also helps deliver more nutrients to the plant.
One last thing to note is the incredible size of the main stalk of this plant.
This stalk is almost 3 times the size of my big thumb.
