UPDATE: I broke another limb...this time on my small Sour Diesel plant! It's a big fan leaf but it's a top one so I'm not happy about it...I guess I need to be more gentle in my LST sessions idk..I may need to give them something for fibrous strength..any suggestions???
I just super glued for now will likely place small piece of duct tape over the wound to cover it..

Looks like a good one to cut off anyway

Bought a new oscillating tower fan 28 inches...gonna use in my greenhouse or second coming soon grow tent!!!

 

[JDwinell]

UPDATE: well I decided to cut off the injured upper fan leaf branch on my Sour Diesel plant along with another lower level fan leaf branch... I was going to try a d leave the injured branch but after close inspection it seemed lifeless and beyond repair so snip snip... Questions comments advice???

[JDwinell]

UPDATE: So I went ahead and did some pretty extensive trimming on my 2 smallest girls...I started by just chopping off the injured branch and then I've just kinda decided now is a good time to thin out the girls and rud them of unnecessary non bud producing Nute sucking vegatation (i.e large fan leaves)..
I hope I didn't take to much off my Unstopped Hindu Kush girl..I took quite a bit I'm sure she's a bit stressed but they'll be getting a good feed/watering soon so...

[JDwinell]

UPDATE: I did even more trimming especially focusing on removing lower "sucker" branches...I did a pretty thorough job on all the plants...

 

[JDwinell]

UPDATE: I added a little bit of fresh coco loco potting mix to the top of Sour Diesel pot and I added a small amount to my smallest Hindu Kush plant... This may kinda have a topfeed dry amendment affect when I add water I'm sure but exactly how impactful it will be I'm not so sure...I noticed the top of the root system peaking through the top of the medium so I had to act.... I'm likely gonna give my 2 small plants a feeding/watering today(or 2moro morning) of "pure" semi filtered ph'd water as I did the bigger 3 previous...

UPDATE: so I just fed/watered my smaller girls..I only gave them around 1.5 cups "pure" water with no additives excecpt PH DOWN. The water was PH 6.34, 283ppm.. the ppm is bc my zero filter I'm using is weak but still filtering out major particles and I also de chlorinate my water prior to using... I only gave them a "light" feeding bc I really would like to get all the girls feeding/watering on the same schedule again... Oh I also prior to feeding/ watering I added fresh coco loco mix to each of all 5 pots and then fed the 2 lil girls... I know this coco loco potting mix has a lot of amendments in it....

Looking good jd.
It's easy to have the plants all on the same schedule when they're seedlings and early veg..
When they're larger, the plants develop their own schedule. One plants metabolism will be faster than another...
There comes a point when you may have to look at their needs individually.
Annoying I know and time consuming, but that's usually the way it happens.

UPDATE: so we just had some thunderstorms pass by and now it's a beautiful 69 Fahrenheit with 80% humidity so I've decided to take the big 3 girka and set them outside to get them used to the outdoors in the case they get moved to the greenhouse upon completion..I haven't decided all the specs yet..anyway I'm gardening them off and also going to spray them with a lil Neem oil...thank you all.GOD BLESS!

UPDATE: girls (big3) in after 30-45 mins outside..I just did some pretty aggressive LST in my lil Sour Diesel girl....
planning on feeding/watering big 3 2moro very early morning...environment temps currently in tent 83 degrees 69% humidity...I r been running my temps and humidity like this for a little while now and the plants really do seem to like the heat/humidity but I'm just afraid of problems arising due to it ...

UPDATE:FEEDING/WATERING I fed my biggest 3 girls at 9:30 a.m.. which was exactly 72 hours since last feed/water but I think I should have fed them a little earlier as I let my medium get to dry I believe but you live and learn...anyway I fed them at 50% strength according to FOX FARMS SOIL chart..I also decided to give a full 5ml per gal of Bushdr cal-mag plus.. ALL MEASUREMENTS are ML per GAL fyi.. Big bloom 3ml + Grow big 1ml...
PPM=473, PH=6.25...
I split a total volume of 1 gallon of water between 3 plants so around 5.5 cups per plant...

They seem do be happy at half strength, not my favorite but your doing well.
Don't worry about going an extra day between watering its good for them.
Just curious do you get runoff?
That's not a lot of volume!
