So much to tell today.
Watered last night, all 4 pots were DRY.
Didnt do a sledgehammer on the 3 photos just plain water till runoff.
Measured the amout of water it took to get about 10% runoff on the watermelon, its about 1⅓ gallon. Decided to not do the flush because I prewatered and they all took the water well. Sank straight in.
The peyote runt took about 1.25 gal and the taller one actually took less at about a gallon. They all had pretty similar amounts of run off and Im positive this soaking saturated 100% of the medium because all 3 photo pots were heavy AF!
Did do the sledgehammer flush on the granite runtz auto. Theres a little less medium in that pot. It was the last of what I mixed up so I flushed her with about 1.75 gallons and 3.5 tsp on sledgehammer. I also added 1.5tsp of ff boomerang to add the essential nutes back in. Run off on this one was substantially more for obvious reasons. Close to 30% actually but she took it like a champ, and Im glad because she was the driest out of all 4. Also flushing seems to have fast tracked bud production. As all tops have started forming their first budsites.
Thats the best pic I could get. It was hard to focus on them.
The overall tent is looking crowded as hell since 2 days ago. This heavy watering seems to have triggered a big boost in growth speed. Probably just the right balace of temp and humidity for maxium transpiration.
As full as my tent looks. I took a hight measurement of all 4. The granite is the tallest at 17" tall. Watermelon is just over 15" tall. The runt peyote is only 10" tall and the taller one is about 14".
Im gonna let them go 1 more week. Maybe 2 and go to 12/12. Thinking maybe only a week and a half. Enough to get one more veg feed and a couple plain waterings to help rinse what they didnt use and switch to flower nutes. I know they are a tad immature but its about a 65-70 day flower on all these photos and the granite will be done long before any photos. So theyll have plenty of time to stretch and bulk up.
Will be doing a minor lollipopping on the photos before switching the light and the granite runtz might be getting one in the next couple days...tho the structure is nice and light is reaching all the way to the soil. All the way around the pot.
