Urgh - yuck. Look how thin the leaves are on these two giants of the Indica world!
Treated them for pests today, specifically, white fly. Its currently legal everywhere but California. Though the EU is considering it. The problem is it also kills honey bees and some natural predators of white fly. Since getting a honey bee anywhere near my plants would be considered an epic failure Iām at peace with the honey bees. Plus a greater risk to life for them round here is & Co seeing a hive and getting some smoking paper lit within minutes to steal their honey. Saw her do it opposite the house in the village. Hive the size of a trash can. I sat in the truck for 2 hours when some mega swarm formed on her house.
Iāve bumped the EC to 2.6 I think. Iām using 2.5ml/Litre of A/B and Cal Mag. Plus Total and Bloom Explode at 1ml/L Then silic 3x the bottle recommendation because its just not as good as our regular (Jon and I previously used something else - heāll know the name) just finished a grow with this stuff. The other one is too strong almost. This one is too weak at 2x maybe 3x is goldilocks. What I wouldāt do for just a little more vertical growth but missing a bunch of cool white right now.
Tomorrow - more lights. Going to add in 3 more mini 301lm H, the UVC and the 200w 6000k floodlight. Probably gives me about 1000w as the 1000w light is at 500w or less.
Messaged with the light company, they are sending the part on Monday. Overland. They say 7 days I say 10. Reckon Iām right. Offered to pay airmail said already booked.
So they got EC, they got gas, they got warmth, they got dry - VPD is a very good 1.4 to 1.6 they just donāt quite have the light to pop.
Defol tomorrow. Probably the last.
