'Dutch Dragon' by Paradise

Hello, hello and welcome to the second week of Bloom with Dutchy. Fantastic week👍. The Deets: The Good: -New feeding methods are working so, so, very well and patience is paying off in spades. I'm really happy to have gotten and taken the advice I was given. She. Is. Very. Happy. The difference b/t last week and this week is night and day. -Stretch is going very well and she has been gaining positive height w/ her canopy opening up, allowing for more air movement and light to the under-canopy. -Nodes are tight but not too tight anymore. Leaves are separated and not sweating nearly as much as before. -She is taking her daily feeds very well. No dipping out, no negative reactions. Just takes it and prays to the light. She is vigorous and hammy as hell. Zero drooping at night now and praying all the way to the end of the day and when I open the tent in the morning. Super👌 -Getting furry and budding up! Stretch is slowing and she is bulking up. I feel this week will be a good show. The Bad: -Wow. Been awhile, but no bad😃 The 'Meh': -Still learning how to apply my new feeds and I feel I may have a decent schedule now that I've been doing this for a full week. Playing a lot of things by ear, but recording every last thing I do and reformatted my journal entries for ease of information transfers. -Lighting was not adequate and a change was made, putting DD and SC under the blurple with GDPB and PSK under the SF, now. The pictures posted are early day (today) before I did the move. GDPB and PSK updates will have the new set-up and rotation pictures added. -Big. Holy crap. I sucked her and Space Cookies inwards, but man oh man, there's no more room. With the stretch in full swing, it's a frigging jungle in there...hard to move things. Process and New Tentative Feeding Schedule: 1. Flushed w/ Cal/Mag (beginning of recovery) 2. 1/2 dose of recommended feed 3. Water 4. 1/2 dose of recommended feed (completing full feed over three days) 5. Water 6. 1/2 Dose 7.Water 8. *Planned lite nutrient flush to see where she's at. Max of 20% run-off to displace the old and replace with the new* 9. Wait to dry out and repeat 2-7 (intermittent flushes pending on plant condition. Don't know yet) Notes of the Week: -Being very patient has paid off... Despite the symptoms I was seeing, I didn't go pour a bunch of nutes on top and instead, just accepted it and stuck with the plan. Now, the girls (PSK a little effed up still, lol!) are doing very well and seem to be loving daily dosing with a water feed in b/t nutrient feeds @ 1/2 dose. -Moved to Green Planets "Massive Bloom" at 1/2 dose to test the waters. No issues and will be splitting these doses over a three day period as well w/ watering feeds in b/t -Tonnes of Defo and suckers to take on all the girls. Been taking these slowly to reduce any possible stress whereas Grow #2, I did it alllll in one go. Risky and have a better plan to take what's needed when needed. Definitely a non-issue, just going to take time and I'll be taking shoots and fans up to week 4, at which point I'll probably just leave them be and let them free-ball. -Aforementioned lighting change was done today to provide an adequate footprint and light to canopy height. On top of PSK's symptoms, the lamp was too close and did bleach some of her upper leaves. Oops😐. I was trying to control her stretch, but that wasn't happening. She's big and nearing 100% stretch since the flip. Really happy I triggered earlier and trained so low. I'd be hooped right now if I hadn't. -Going to be installing a UPS (un-interrupted power supply) right away here. Power has been going out a lot...again and still! I have no idea what they're doing out there, but it's making me nervous. Happened again this morning and I'm not going to let these dudes risk my project anymore. Sourcing a cheap UPS battery bank as I type. Yo! Thanks for stopping by folks. I was really happy to write this and I'm really happy to have this pretty lady kicking around in the tent. She used to be the most symptomatic...now I feel she is the healthiest and most vigorous. Amazing man. Thank god for their versatility. GDPB and PSK will be updated tomorrow as Sundays suck for uploading, haha. I should have listened to Med😅. I hope you all have a great week with the girls! Stay safe, find peace and enjoy your family and friends, all. Keep the chaos at bay. None of us need it. Cheers folks😀✊
