A warm hello to all the new people in here, I love that I'm no longer the only pair of eyes following my grow haha!
So what's happened since the last time I posted? Well, I went on a holiday for about 2 weeks for one, and I had my brother take care of my plants for me this time. He did a great job at keeping the girls happy and healthy while I was away. When I came back, holy-damn-shitballs did they grow something fierce. In fact they have grown so much that this Monday I decided to put them into flower. But before I did so I took them out of the tent and trimmed them as to remove the shoots that were too small to make it all the way up to the canopy.
What I also did was set up the SCROG net to try and see if the SCROG goes better this time round. The last time grow I tried this as well but the net turned out to be more of a support for the 'skeletal' structure of the plants than it was an actual scrog with an even canopy. This was mostly due to my plants stretching like crazy almost filling up 2/3 of the tent lengthwise.
If you guys have any input on how I could improve on this please let me know!
I think pictures speak so much louder than words, so here's some pictures I took of the new SCROG setup and the plants themselves.
I also immediately started feeding them with my bloom nutritients (DutchPro Bloom A+B) at 1.5 mS and pH at 6.3. Reason being that one of the plants is showing some signs of a deficiency. It looks like a nitrogen deficiency to me, which wouldn't surprise me since I've maybe only fed them once or twice in vegetative state. I'm actually surprised how good the plants have been coping so far without much of any nutrients really! But now that they're blooming I want them to create big and fat buds so I'm definitely going to see how far I can push them as far as feeding goes.
