devil's lettuce: the maiden voyage

WEEK 6 DAYS 50-56 - 4/15-21/22 DAY 53 - 4/18/22 yesterday purple was showing signs of severe underwatering so i watered her with the basic recipe. she looks a lot better today. i made a batch of fertilized water and fed all the plants today. 1 gal tap water, 1 1/4 tsp grow big, 1 tsp cal mag. purple received 3L plain water. blue and cookie both got 1 & 2l respectively of the fertilized water. blue is growing well, so she got her branches re-trained. she's coming along super nicely. her canopy is staying pretty flat and she is very easy to train since she bounces back pretty quickly. her branches, about 5 total, are super big and beefy, and one branch is pretty stunted. no new damage noted- color seems good and even all over. cookie has been successfully trained to grow parallel to the ground, which is really cool. when i let go her training wires, she stayed low to the ground. accidentally destroyed one of her big branches and cried but she is training like a dream. attempted to clone the broken branch, maybe a good candidate for a solo cup grow? she's pretty fragrant now- i know she's gonna be a stanky bitch in flower. purple got over trimmed. i suck! i'm the worst! i halved her growth tips because i don't know how to read. the shame. anyway, her growth tips are growing! so that's a consolation. her lowest leaves are showing ph lockout so i'm gonna be extra vigilant with her feedings. DAY 55 - 4/20/22 blue is showing some pale white at the tips but overall very good growth. super good and robust responses to LST. she is now growing beyond the lip of the pot- it might be goood to get them on risers soon. LST has created a cool knot of branches and all her longest branches have about 7 nodes each. cookie is lovely and smelly! she got fully re-trained and some light defoliation to clear light space for bud sites. her leaves are so fat and wide, it's such a problem for the lower sites! she might be better for mainlining next time i run this seed. what a lush, thick phenotype. i'm going to enjoy watching her grow and transform. purple remains a queen. she lost a few leaves to a nitrogen deficiency. she got the rest of the nute treated water, and her next feeding she'll get a little more. it truly hurts me to see how badly i topped her, but soon i'll be able to do the last topping and hopefully that will even stuff out. she is already showing pre-flowers!
