Admiration of Apes

Week 2 23/7/20: Staked the Amnesia Fast, as the rain was weighing down the branches to the point of nearly breaking. Once in the basement, I will keep them staked for a while, since the floor fan creates lots of wind. If the branches strengthen up, I might consider removing the stakes. However, as it's already in flower, the colas might prove to be a little too heavy for the branches. This plant will be a staggered harvest, as the lower buds will need more time to ripen. Amnesia Fast will be going on the Green Planet diet, as it still keeps it on a basic feeding schedule. Originally it had the Root Farm treatment (base+grow and base+bloom), but I don't have those nutrients anymore, as I gave them away to the grower who had this plant. All other plants look fine, and will get their first dose of nutrients tomorrow. 24/7/20: Fed everyone in the main tent 4 litres of water, mixed with these ratios. Grow A + B - 1.25ml/L Gold - .625ml/L Thrive - .625ml/L So far everyone is looking good, I do not see anything that should be of any concern. Try and find the cool mist humidifier for the second tent, as it's getting warmer than I'd like. 25/7/20: Fed Amnesia Fast a little over 2 liters of water with 10ml of Green Planets Medi One and Massive Bloom, so 5ml/L for each of the nutrients. Held off on adding in Cal Mag right now, as they were given some steadily from the beginning. I will add some on on my next feeding. Set the cool mist humidifier up in the tent, but it's still much warmer than I'd like it to be. I will look into buying some better ones, one for each tent. Top loading, yet compact. Other tent still looks good, but plants look like they are paler than I'd like them, so they will get a shot of Cal Mag either tomorrow or the next day, depending on if they want water or not. I remember the White Widow was a heavy feeder, so I need to remember to keep an eye on that one particularly. 26/7/20: Had to cut down the tips of two colas on the Amnesia Fast, as they were too close to the light, and starting to burn. Figured the stress of cutting would be overall better then leaving them to just burn up. I need to figure out a way to spread the light ropes further apart, thus raising the light a little bit more. Any space I can save, the better. I thought I has plenty of room, but at least I now know at what height I should start flowering the other plants. Fed it yesterday, but the soil still looks fairly dry, so I will give it another feeding tomorrow. Other tent looks good, no need to water yet. One more week before the photos go into a bigger pot. 27/7/20: Temperature in the second tent is down under 30°C, but still too high for my liking. I'm now thinking I might vegetate my other photos for a little longer than originally planned, so they can do their flowering during the cooler months. Originally thought 8 weeks from seed, but I will now think about waiting 10 to 12 weeks before I change the light cycle, which would bring the start to October, instead of September. Will feed all plants either today, or tomorrow, but most likely tomorrow, as I'm feeling too lazy right now, should have done that in the morning. 28/7/20: Fed the Amnesia fast again, 5ml of Medi One and 5ml of Massive Bloom, seems I will be needing to water this one often, so I will give it two feedings and one watering per week. Other tent is still showing moisture in the soil, so I will feed them tomorrow morning. Starting to smell very sweet and delicious, cannot wait to try this sativa. 29/7/20: Fed everyone in the first tent 2gal/8L 10ml Grow A + B - 1.25ml/L 5ml Gold - .625ml/L 5ml Terpenoid Booster - .625ml/L 5ml CM Plus - .625ml/L 5ml Thrive - .625ml/L Next week I will start adding in some Carburetor into the mix, I bet that will give them a good boost to get bushing out. Thinking about transplanting the photos soon, as three of them are already branching out over the sides of the cup. Pretty soon it will be time give them their first topping.
