Sitting here with a glass of Shiraz, smoking a bowl of Hindu Kush, tending to my girls, and marveling at nature's gifts
There is a noticeable progression since yesterday, as you can see by scrolling back and forth. The ones that were clipped seem to be growing new shoots from lower levels as well - not just from the area that was clipped. I think I can see the preflowers that Granny's trying to show me. I definitely don't see any balls. The difference in volume between coco and p/v continue to exaggerate. Even as the perlite pots grow fuller and thicker, the coco pots are way ahead and not slowing down. It makes sense that the coco pots are drinking deeper than the perlite, 25-50% more. #2 is getting more pungent every day. She still doesn't smell like weed, but there is a definite piney odor. The one Wappa is starting to show purple in the new growth. #3 has not changed at all since the last pic. I have been giving her minimal water, but making sure not to let her dry out. Today I moved her out of the main spray of the light, as she is now more of a seedling, and therefore I figure she'll do better with less lumens bombarding her.
I had to rearrange the hood on my light, because the MH conversion bulb is like 2.5 times the diameter of the HPS, so it just didn't fit like it was. I dropped the hood while trying to adjust it and gave #2 that scratch on her leaf. As I said earlier, that bulb also runs MUCH hotter, I'd say 10-20f hotter than the HPS. I just realized today that the 3rd week of life for these plants will start on Tuesday. This is less than 3 weeks from germination! I know it may not be anything special by what some of you guys are doing, but I am psyched! I finally drilled all the holes in my aero-cloner lid, but I was planning on going with 24 sites, and ended up with room for 35, so I've gotta pick up a few more disks before the show really begins - but I've got a couple weeks, and other than that, It's done, and tested to spray very well. Even with just the few plants that I'm working with now, I'm glad to have this pipettor to measure, as I'd need to fill that little dropper dozens of times to get thru a fill-up. As it is now, I can use it easily with one hand or quickly with two, and fit enough nutes in one squirt to cover the dose for a gallon. I can see that it will be inefficient to mix less than 5 gallons at a time once I have 30+ going. If they drink up to 8oz each, that's almost 2gal per feeding. My gnats have long since disappeared. there were never very many, and I'm glad I didn't bother putting neem on my babies, but it's here if I need it.
All in all, they seem to be very healthy with this setup. There is no yellowing, browning, or bright streaks on anything, the stems are all very strong, and the only deformities other than a few twisted leaves (I hear this may be caused by swings in ph?) are just where they're growing back from FIMming. I can't wait for them to grow out a bit and see if the growth continues to be this dense, or if they start to stretch more.
very very very very VERY GOOD JOB!! THAT was exactly what I meant - don't just jump in and do something instantly because you see something different... but evaluate and only do something if really NEEDED - YOU DID!!!
