So I have the first bit of bad news for the journal unfortunatally. I went in there today and apparently the flowers just got too big for the branches and like half the ...well, ... a quarter of the big buds were completely bent over! uuuggghhh!!! I freaked out for a second but when I realized everything was still alive I got a glimpse of happiness for a sec. Anyhow I think there is actually more to this story than they (the buds) got to big, I feel that at some point it must have gotten just a little too hot in the room and the plants wilted a little, and in there process off doing that they lost some of their rigidity. I had just turned up the temp set-point three days ago because the CO2 was now being injected, but I dont think it really ever got to release enough to get to the PPM setpoint and therefore the plants were just in high temp, low Co2 atmosphere, which isn't a good combo. Anyhow they all look completely fine besides the bent branches ( a few big ones). They hadn't lost any leaves or look burned or anything so Im really just kinda stumped . It kinda seems that if that's really what happened I would be able to see more of a difference than just some of the big branches bending over, ...I dunno. I need to check the hi / low set-points on my enviro controller to see whats going on during the day while Im at work.
You know I should add that, I was being ignorant by not having them tied up already, I knew I should have done this earlier before any branches bent but I guess I was just hoping they wouldn't need the support this time. They just seemed so sturdy!! Well I was wrong, and I should have know better,.. the T2 ALWAY needs support. On the other hand , before this incident NoseBleed has never needed support, so that kinda surprises me (especially since the buds werent THAT big). Thats why I feel like something else must have helped in bending these branches. Nose bleed is STRONG and wouldn't ever naturally have this happen. Anyhow I fixed everything with the branches and tied them up accordingly. I also turned up the frequency of the watering cycles and turned down the temperature setpoint on the controller. I also opened up AC to the room (unfortunatally it will almost completally nullify the the fact that CO2 is being injected). With all that said, I also started flushing today. This flowering period has gone by faster than I ever recall it going before, and without CO2 for most of the time! Also unfortunate is that it will reflect in the finished weight too, and that saddens me
. Anyhow... so first is the pics of the bent branches, notice that they look healthy their just bent, really weird. Im still unsure how this really all came about. When Im at work I think gnomes come by and bend my braches! Yeah!! Thats gotta be it!! .....Oh and please pretend like you dont see the dead leaves on the ground, lol. I took this picture before the weekly room cleaning (which I did after these pics).
And in this pic you can see the green twist tie holding up the brach of NB that was bent over. Too bad you cant see the clean floors the pot is sitting on, lol.
And does this look like a room of traumatized plants to you? Doesn't to me, but how else did the NB branches break/bend?? It will be a mystery for years to come, unless I just spend the night and catch the gnomes red handed!! lol
And lastly one of the big buds that I knew I should have tied up. And didnt! and of course it fell over and bent the stem...uuggghhh. Good news though! Its still alive and kicking as well as being finally supported by string. Sorry for the shaky pic, (my bad)I didnt resalize how crappy it was until I saw it on my computer.
Hope you enjoy! And wish me luck figuring out whats going on with the excessive heat during the day(if thats in fact whats causing the broken stems)
