Hey again everyone!! Hope you've all been well. Been working a lot this week, shoveling snow and dealing with ridiculous outside temperatures. Off today again because this morning was -40C, felt like -51 at 7am. My truck started, but it sounded sick and didn't want to engage into 4x4 properly. I was scared to drive it down the street for fear of something snapping. Brrrr!!! Luckily back to more normal temps coming into the weekend!
So things have been moving along great in the garden! It's almost time to do some quick cleanup and rearranging things so I can transplant the seedlings and move them under the LED panel. I will be working on this throughout the day today and will grab some pictures tonight when I'm done. There will also be some feeding for all of the plants today on top of that, so I will be fairly busy for a while lol.
Lets have a look at what's happening inside shall we? Got some good growth in both rooms and buds are forming!
-------------------------------------------------
Seedlings are now getting wider and growth is popping out at each node. They must have a decent root system in those pots now since I have seen some roots starting to poke out the holes in the bottom of the containers, they just weren't ready last weekend when I checked which could have lead to a disastrous transplanting. I dampened the soil slightly this morning to help with the transplants later today, the medium was starting to get fairly dry.
All 6 plants took the mild feeding very well this past week, so now today I will be upping the solution again and it will be used to help wet the new promix for the transplants. Feed for these babies will be as follows..
Micro - 4ml, Grow - 6ml, Bloom - 2ml, Rapid Start - 3ml, Diamond Nectar - 2ml, Flora Blend - 2ml, CalMag - 3ml, Armour Si - 2ml
This is a pretty big move on upping the plants feeding so drastically, it's either going to kill them or it's going to make them explode, but I don't think it's going to kill them lol If they take this fine I will adjust again next time, first bringing up the Diamond Nectar and Flora Blend to normal levels and then again with M/G/B. Wish me luck! haha
Oh, I also believe I have 1 tri leafed plant out of the bunch, of course it started right where I would normally top my plants. We will see if i decide to wait and top that one or not. They are all ready to take a topping whenever now, 3rd nodes are full exposed with enough growth to make the snip easy. Likely be done today as well.
Day 17 - Seedling Station
Tutankhamon
--------------------------------------------------
Looking good so far in the flower room, one plant is certainly progressing faster than the other but that's ok, they have both remained roughly the same height just the Moby Dick is packing on buds quicker. I'm also starting to see some nice trichome production already on her as well, crazy to see trichs so early. I got some more natural light photos that will help you all to really see what they look like color wise.
No more issues or deficiencies in here as of yet. Both girls took their defoliation really well, I was quite surprised. Neither of them looked harmed come the next morning, happy as can be. The NL x Big Bud looked a little sad during the operation but snapped right back with a good feeding afterwards. I will also toss in a couple of picture of her bleeding, the next morning right at lights on I snapped the pictures, right at all the clip sights this girl was leaking her juices all over the place lol Quite the sight to see, I have seen it slightly happen a couple of times but never like this, almost every clip site. She's fine now and healed up.
Feeding is going well, I have done some digging and figuring on my next flowering feed. Looks like I will be cutting out the Flora Blend, upping my KoolBloom and a minor adjustment to the M/G/B to keep all the plants happy. I plant to try and keep my M/G/B amounts the same from now until closer to the end of flower and only adjust them when needed. PK boosters will be adjusted up as flowering progresses. Next feed is as follows..
Micro - 4ml, Grow - 2ml, Bloom - 10ml, Diamond Nectar, 2.5ml, Liquid KoolBloom - 5ml, CalMag - 5ml, Armour Si - 2ml
Day 19 - Flower Room
Moby Dick + NL x Big Bud
-------------------------------------------------
That's about it for another update folks, hope it was informative enough. For those of you who just like pictures I got lots of those as well lol. I try to keep useful information in with my updates so a person can go back and check on what was done at another particular time. Hope everyone has a great weekend, I will try to get back on Sunday for another quick update in case work gets busy next week again. Take care all, keep it green!
. A good problem to have. Looking forward to the show. Happy growing!
