Shout out to
@candycane and
@Grim Creeper for catching up on the journal, I hope you guys take my advice but don't copy my actions until we know I didn't eff something up.
Updates
- topped off Randy and critical purple with 2 qt of pre-ph'd and pre-z7'd rez water
- I decided I'm going to ballpark ph and treat my res water with z7. I have to keep some buckets outside during dechlorination and some leaves and dander are getting in.
I used an empty net pot as a pool net scooper to get the larger leaves out. It worked pretty well. The z7 should help control the bacteria in the res and now I know all of my plants are getting healthy water, even if it's a bit dirty.
- Critical purple officially popped its head out today (pic)
- I finally put northern lights in the second tote and gave it the following nutes: (pic)
Reminder: it's a 14-gallon tote with roughly 12 gallons of water. I measured most nutes for these small plants in the scale of x10 gallons instead of x12. If that makes sense, sorry I'm stoned.
5 ml of both parts z7 -- 40ml of micro grow bloom ph perfect from AN -- 30 ml of kangaroots from FF
- Found a possible mutation on my
small cherry blossom CBD (pic)
- I rolled my first backwood! ... And my second.
- I topped
Failed LST after letting it get used to its new FFOF soil and FF nutes. the leaves seem a bit happier, but we'll have to see if the nodes start growing.
- As I said in an earlier post, this kangaroots is making my 5-gallon DWC's explode! So many long hairy roots! The quadline probably helps.
- Kangaroots is making my totes smell funny, but it's also probably the z7 breaking down those leaves and keeping the bacteria in check.
- I'm putting off the 5G bucket res change for a few more days. They're just growing too well, and ph and PPM are on point! It's been about 7 days since my last rez change but I might wait up until the recommended 10-day limit.
That's all I can think of. I have more stuff to talk about in
Picture Time
So this is critical purple. It looked like it was struggling to break free of its shell so I tried to help it with sterile tweezers.
It held on a bit and I ended up taking a small piece of white plant with it. I hope it's ok. It hasn't officially popped its head over the gro block but I think it will.
Northern lights is 5 or 6 days old now and has its own tote, but not for long. definitely going to need better airstones for this closet.
Tote closet looks great. I can already see the SCROG net and the lush canopy.
So maybe this is why the small cherry blossom CBD is growing so much slower than its much larger twin...
Is this a mutation? just a derpy seed? those yellow ribs around the top look like flowering sites, but they're actually tiny yellow leaves. I'm going to wait to see if it can stretch itself out of this mess but it seems pretty messed up.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys think of the above photo. Thanks, everybody for reading. I'm going to enjoy my honey bourbon backwood with a chill glass of honey whiskey on this sunny day
