What's up Growmies π€π½. Today marks the start of week 7 overall and week 2 flowering (week 1 flowering for Caramelicious).
I love indoor growing during the winter because the humidity is easy to maintain at optimal levels.
My babies are thriving and all are very healthy, I am keeping an eye on Caramelicious making sure she doesn't Hermie on me and pollinate my entire tent ( it happened before). I switched to a 12 light schedule about 10 days ago and she is just now starting to preflower.
I am feeding them just 1 liter of water every 3 days and they seem to do well with that schedule. Every 3rd watering I feed them plain water and give them about 1-1/2 liters (or until I see run off)
I notice how the first 2 to 3 hours after watering the leaves all droop and kind of claw, I believe it's due to the plant being saturated with water and sucking up the water so it can breath o2 again.
I am giving them all the "bloom and riping" mix of General Hydroponics which calls for 1/2/3 mil/gallon mixture. I mix the recommended dosage into a 3 gallon sprayer so like always they are getting 1/3 of the manufacturer's recommended dosage.
I have never lollipopped any of my grows, hell I don't even defoliate, I use the tuck method and remove fan leaves as the plant matures and sucks the nutrients out of them. However just for experience and experimentation I am going to defoliate the bottom 3rd set of leaves, and get rid of some of the lower bud sites of one of my white LSD plants. Since I have 2 growing I figured I really have nothing to loose.
All in all everything is going very wellπ€π½it is getting so crowded that it is difficult to take the type of pictures I want, however that is a good thing in my eyes.
That is all for this week, nothing really new or exciting going on, just business as usual.
I hope everyone is having a stress free grow this week, and like always, may the plant goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest πͺπΎ
Let them mature !! π€
the problem for many growers is anticipation!! it always depends on the effect you are looking for of course. but there are many growes that harvest too early. i like 40/60 white/amber depending on the strain.
Congrats your White LSD is looking juicy! I lost a few branches to bud rot right at the end, but still got a 99g dry weight from one plant, pretty happy overall! Good luck with the chop!
