Update (Week 16 of Veg)
I feel like all the plants in the main grow have finally settled in. It may not show in the pictures, but they all grew quite a bit last week. If this soil does what it should, I expect them each to double in size this month and again next month. We'll see how it goes.
Two plants are slightly problematic. GASS has what I think is a mag deficiency. It is not in my soil mix. It was up-potted into some leftover 2nd run DBHBB soil. It was all I had available and I half expect to chop this plant early anyway. Since it is HB soil, I'm not sure how it will take to bottled nute's. I'll be finding out. AS is doing well but has the usual spider mite infestation just starting to show on some older internal fans. I'm beginning my spray routine, beginning with Azatrol twice, 4 days apart. I don't see any evidence on the others...yet. I'll be spraying them all in hopes of keeping the others free of them. AS also has one or two lower branches that decided to bloom. The rest of the plant - not so much. Weird.
The purple on the LH progressed a little but I think it is over. The 'N' is pretty much at max for LH, GT and ZD. The others are loving it. They are drinking 4-6 gallons of water every two days. Just giving water to the five in the main grow takes close to an hour if I want to do it slowly (and I do). So far, water is still all they get, except for the two in the 25 gal soft pots. I'm throwing them some GH Flora nutes. To try and correct the mag deficit, I gave GASS 4 tbs. of Epsom in 4 gal water yesterday.
The heat is here. It was 94 yesterday and we are supposed to be over 100 for the weekend with possible rain.
Picture dump time. Let me know if I'm throwing too many at you.
An overview of the two grow spots.
AS
I think the diminutive GG4 finally decided to join the party.
GT(+) is looking more perky than at any time I've grown it.
LH is till my favorite. I hope she keeps on keeping on.
ZD(+) is looking better too.
Meanwhile over at the other spot...
GASS
This is what makes me suspect a mag deficit.
The other, smaller LH #2. She is in straight Promix.
These are some AS culls my wife popped into the ground after thay had been sitting around out of their pots for a day. They decided to bloom but seem to have stalled. No nute's for them.
I plan to get in there and trim up their skirts. They are in desperate need. See you next week!
