Another Monday, another
Update...
First up- the indoor Wookiee auto(?)- 60 days old, 33 days in her SIP (and 33 days in the Grow Dots)
After a week of 16/8 lighting (as suggested by my son Justin), I think she's finally getting ready to flower..she also grew 2" since yesterday morning, so the stretch is happening too..she's 12" tall now...
I'm going to leave the light at 16/8 and see what happens..
The light is set to 180 watts- once I see some little pom-poms, I'll turn it up to 200...she's 25" from the light..The hot weather we're having is keeping the temp in the box at apx. 85f, and she really seems to like it..She drinks almost a gallon a day now...
A "true colors" shot- she's a pretty good shade of green...I've also started adding 3ml of
@Plagron "Green Sensation" (0-8-9) to both plants water (they drink from the same jug) as a flowering supplement.
This stuff is a lot stronger than the Purpinator I used last time, so I'm going to go easy with it...
I figure I'll start adding it now, instead of waiting for the yellowing, rust spotted leaves that tell me she needs it later on...
And, while she's out of the box, an (out-of-focus) silhouette shot- you can see the stretching she's done since yesterday.
She probably won't be out of the box much more- she doesn't fit through the door very well now...
She still isn't fully flowering, but she's closer than she was a week ago- and she's started stretching, so she'll get there pretty soon...
Now, the little outdoor Wookiee auto -still 8" tall @ 50 days old (also day 33 in her SIP)
This one also drinks almost a gallon per day.
So far, no bugs have been bothering her out there, but it's early...I have been adding 3ml of neem oil to both of their reservoirs every third watering, maybe that's helping?
Since she's not growing any taller, her canopy should stay relatively flat...
There's that cool shadow again..
A closer look- she's built to take full advantage of the 11.5 hours of sun she gets daily...I'd like to say I designed her that way...and I
did help a little, but she did most of it herself...
One of her frosty little buds...she's got about 30 of these..(the one in the box has about 45)
Thanks again to
@Azimuth, for getting me/us started on this SIP journey!
You can have a look at his very informative SIP thread
here...
If you haven't tried it, maybe you should- you won't be sorry....
And there you have it for this Monday's update!
Thank You for looking,
I appreciate your support...
Have a wonderful week!
texted me on Monday- he wanted me to give her a week @ 16/8 to see if that will get her flowering-so that's what I did.. it doesn't seem to be doing the trick though, so Ill probably end up flipping her on Monday@60 days old- I usually flip at 60 days old, or 10" tall, whichever comes first, and today, she's 10 inches tall, and 57 days old ..so flipping her on Monday will work out just about right...
