Day 36
second day of 12/12 and no signs of flowering yet. Foliage is growing like crazy, but some could get an idea of how this is going to be a screen of green. To be exact - this will be a scrog plus four adult plants in the corners of the tent....😁. .......basically meaning :
i've wasted time enough to cultivate 4 Plants 😯.
Considering the experience from my last grow (rather indica-type bushy plants) i will overthink my method of scrogging for future grows.
1.) Build a frame to get a real tight netting
2.) Installing the net as soon as possible
3.) No more supercropping, LST or whatever....... only use the net to steer directions of growth
4.) Strictly remove fan-leafs, taking light from any other shoot
this way i'll be able, to make better use of the shoots and branches pointig away from the center - whether mighty big sativas or small bushy indicas........ i'll have way better controll ........hopefully😎
Nutrients:
i'm on 50/50 growth/bloom fertilizer...... to get N down i'll fill up with bloom only during the week and leave away GROWTH completely when changing the nutrient-solution next time.
Day 39
Visible signs of flowering…….. Time to give a P-Boost!
Cut down N and raised P, so it should be something like 10-40-35 (N-P-K; roughly).
Next week i‘ll switch to regular bloom-nutrition.
The young ladies look wonderful. Shoots galore! Not too much of a stretch yet.
Day 40
Lollypopped carefully and took some fan-leafs out the canopy. Tomorrow i'll remove weak branches from the canopy and organize my entire scrog.
Now that'll still leave me with 4 trees standing in the corners........ and i made a decision: I'll cut'em!!! .....then i will try to make 'em clones and reveg them.
This way i might have some pretty little plants, when spring arrives😎.
Wonder wether they can produce roots fast enough to keep the entire top alive.
Since this is just an experiment i'll keep it nice and easy - ill make a clean, diagonal cut and put them into a ALL ESSENTIALS-solution (0,3 g/l), then they'll have a cosy place on the floor of the tent while light's on and will move to my livingroom for the rest of the day. Either theyll show roots or die trying.... I'll let you know:-).
Day 41
after getting so little N, getting the legs shaved and the hair cut, the young ladies look a bit pale.... nevertheless they drink like crazy and keep growing.
Organizing the scrog was easy - now 80 of 81 squares are filled and hopefully i'll find a branch i can weave into the last one.......
ROOTS!!!! there are roots reaching out of all 4 buckets into the reservoirs....... but yet the drainage seems to work........ wonder wether it will effect the water in the reservoirs.......
reservoir No. 4 is way darker tha the rest........ maybe the pump didn't get the last drop when i changed solution (day 39).
now it's time to let them recover a little bit and then i'll chop off their heads 😯.
right now i got the idea of cooking some soil in the oven -to get it bug
