Grow blueprint
I'll drop my seeds Sunday 07/08 on tap water for 24 hr > cotton pads > jiffys > 1 gal airpots > 6.6 gal airpots
Training
I'll build one girl in a cone shape topping at 6 node having node's 2,3,4 and 5 as my cornerstone and main branchs node's 3 or 5 as my main beams, ending with a circle footprint I'll call this one The Hurricane design
The other one I'll build a square shape, topping at 5 or 6 node working (LST) with node's 2 and 3 as my cornerstone and node's 1 of each main as my beams ending with a square footprint, I'll call this design The Quadline (cross shape)
I'll use two layers of scrog some lollypop and a shy defol for building ventilation
Ok guys cya Sunday
💚
Towel paper
I'll follow our growmie Rusty "trick & tip" concerning seeds in towel paper and I have them almost vertical
I learned today this is called gravotropism and basically it will force the root grow straight down preventing her from curling
Jiffy
Forgot to take a pic but the radicules had both some brownish spots ┐( ∵ )┌ hoping that's nothing to worry
Men this girls are pushing up fast and furious, since yesterday they grow in the dark lol.
They are now in a 20/4 light schedule
Girls doing well they still on tap water I'll start their feed Monday
Still a lot of work to do, auto fert vent air in and out
They are now at 1100 EC midveg
These crappy jiffys hold a lot of moist its only coco dust and if we're not careful we can overwater and delay their growth and thats exactly what I did 🤬🤬
For now on I'll start directly my seedlings in this small net pots in coco/perlite
These past days I left them to dry and finally they now showing some progress
💚
Week 3
Late veg now on till October first
Got my lines all set 👌
I sure was a bad daddy for one of the ladies 🙄
I rebuffer this coco once and then shower it with nute solution EC 1250. I will only fertigate once a day the next 4, 5 days with ph 6, No nutes the next 24 hr
💚
Week 4
Hey all just to mention some issues I'm having and how I prob screw my PTGC
So both have almost no side branchs growth they didn't follow the plant development in general witch made me a bit late in topping and training
Yesteday I top one and let nodes 2,3 and 4, usually I go with node 2 and 3 but this time as you can see in the pic node 2 and 3 are very close, will be hard and risky to LST them flat as I do in the quadline shape, so I'll let them develop and choose them later prob 3 and 4
The other I top today and will work with node's 2, 3, 4 and 5
I don't believe the time left its enough for my train or how I like to flip them but thats not the big issue
My flower tent
I should be harvesting this week but I can see 3 more weeks on two ladies there and if this true I wont be able to flip October 1 😒🥺 we'll see
Dammit
Day after haircut girls looking great
they are loving 1200 EC at 6.0 Ph
20/4 lights at 23'' 75% and today I set fert for 5 events (every 4 hours), in 2 weeks we'll reach 10 events
My minimalist nute line
💚
This is how I baptized the chics
The Quadline
Starting the (+) shape with lst, first node of each main branch (nodes 3&4) will stay the rest eventually will go off, so we'll grow 4 mains plus 8 secundary branchs. took out some shadow fans only from those nodes that I will cut off, lollypop
The Hurricane
So I planned to grow nodes 2 to 5 but node 2 didnt do so well and got behind in the shadows so we'll only grow 6 mains, nodes 3, 4 and 5 plus the secundary that I choose to fit in the scrog
I lst starting her circular shape
Grower love you dudes 😎
