Thank you Emilya! I am reading @Buds Buddy great growth journal, and he mentioned an information you provided, about topping.Lookin great!
Glad to get your input my friend! Thank you for another valuable post. I was thinking that compaction is an issue, but was hoping that the root growth would help address that issue. You've just confirmed that.I’d say no need to transplant yet, you want her to fill up that container with roots, that looks like 1 gallon bucket and that should be good for a months worth of steady growth. Yes the soil does compact over time & with watering, and yes compaction is not generally good but since we are building a big rootball it’s ok. At last upcan you want to gently score the rootball with a sterile knife but that depends on having the rootball filled out to container edges.
Train the plant and run the wet dry cycle for several more weeks, this work now will help your yields later. It’s a slow process, nothing happens fast, plants don’t move at our speed. It’s hard to be patient but wait for next upcan and flip to flower.
What was your plans - are you gonna tie the arms down or do quadline?
Your topping job looks good!! Agree - no defol at this time, thats a short plant and you need the fans to pull in energy from light. Good plan using the white grate its sitting on, keep air moving etc.
I know I've said it many times, but I am so thankful for your help. You actually pay attention and provide meaningful input. Rare to receive such support nowadays.Parra, yes plants do get root bound but it should grow out just fine. When the soil is dry you can slip the pot off to check the roots but I don’t think you are root bound yet. Don’t water on a schedule, wait until soil is totally dry, plants that size should be able to go 5 to 7 days easy with no water added, maybe longer.
Do the comparison weight thing, fill a same sized container with dry soil - put it on the scale and take a reading.... use that for comparison weight against your girls. Red stems or petioles are pretty common... no biggie.
I do see a few white spots on the leaves that make me think of aphids, when they molt the old carcass shell remains stuck on the leaves. I would try to zoom up and get a pic of the white spots... a loupe, mini microscope, or usb digital microscope are the correct tools to use and listed from weakest to best.... but if you don’t have one then download a phone app called magnifyer. The app uses your phones on board camera to get digital microscope images. It’s hard to hold them still enough to get a good pic - just the slightest movement makes it blurry but maybe prop the phone up to get good pics. In first pic of MJ the leaves on bottom there almost look like bite marks, but IDK?
If you can... raise that grate up by putting wood blocks or similar under it to get more airflow and point a fan under there, should help to dry out the soil faster.
Hopefully Emilya will swing by soon if not then you can @ her tomorrow
Heh, the budget keeps extending! But that's okay, it's better than buying it from the street and not knowing what you're smoking. I love the concept of growing my own, and it's a lot cheaper. One or two harvests and it's all paid off! Easy Peasy!Hey Parra, I’m glad to help my friend. I know a tiny little bit however a lot of this stuff is over my head, good news is - great backup just around the corner should you or I or anyone else need it.
I’ve got a cheapie analog loupe so mine needs upgrade for sure, word on the street is the digital usb ones are about $30ish... but yes I know the dreaded growers budget! I just got a few new beans and then spent $200 at the local grow store for amendments, rapid rooters & pest control stuff - yellow cards, safers soap and a bottle of SNS
Happy New Year!!!
I think you're onto something with the humidifier. I do have one running in my tent, and I have noticed calcium deposits around it. I cleaned it all on the outside, but no way to get inside. I'm gonna do some research as how I could mitigate issues with my humidifier. Perhaps placing it somewhere else in the tent, or maybe even a way to clean inside. We'll see!Hmm no critters, well keep this tucked away for now but later on when you do get ample magnification then zoom up on the white spots to see if you can get closer look or pics. Also maybe point fan at leaves or mist them good one time at lights off to see if you can rinse them away, that way if any more white spots pop up then you will know.
I’ve heard some of the new humidifiers cause white spots from calcium deposits or hard water. Are you running a humidifier in the grow space? Good job on yellow cards at soil line!! Also hang sticky card over the canopy too, often that will catch any fliers coming into the garden first. Think aphids are hitchhikers, hoppers or crawlers tho and not a flying pest but I could be wrong for sure on that one.
Beyond that I’m striking out, but keep an eye peeled and let’s see what develops!
Haha, this is goldWhen the soil is totally dry, I mean dryer than my ex’s heart that’s when the weed will send out tiny root hairs to search for water.
