Purple Lemonade

***** Week 4 December 9 to 15, 2020 - Days 22 to 28 from germination ***** We are going through what will likely be the last veg week for the girl....never know though😀 She is getting her colour back and when taken out of the tent mid week, she is darker than she appears in the light. Checking runoff numbers mid week, she is looking good overall as well. 6.0 was the pH runoff after 3 weeks in the medium so I will take that compared to the last couple of runs and battling pH drift in pure coco coir. During LST she had her main stem cracked and so she was taped up and we move forward. The crack was small enough and doesn’t seem to have caused any side effects. She has been stubborn and does not want to let her main cola come down further.......I am also reluctant to pull down as hard as I want because of the crack😞 Will deal with it but certainly would prefer to have her stem bent several more degrees. Little more daily detail......... Dec 9/20, Day 22 - 1L water with 0.5ml of Magnifical = 85ppm and 5.8pH - is intended as a plain water feed. Since RO water adding a bit of CalMag to it. - her pot was fairly dry and she has been feeding on the nutrients. Dec 10/20, Day 23 - Nothing today as the pot was still heavy. - continuing to give her some foliar spray and help darken her up. - keep twisting her stem and pulling it down.,....finally pulled a couple of frustrating leaves that were blocking other new growth I need to come along. Dec 11/20, Day 24 - 2L feeding with Micro, Grow, N Candy, Magnifical, VeloKelp @ 1.5ml each = 800ppm and 5.8pH - watered a little heavier to get runoff. - pull her out and check run off numbers. - 800 and 5.8 going in and 700 and 6.3 coming out😀😀😀 - I will take that for pH after the last couple of runs of straight coco.......pH numbers had been running around 7.6 by now.........that's why I added the peat to help buffer a bit better👍 Working so far. Dec 12/20, Day 25 - dry out day - basically left the auto girls alone today. - her lower branches are rising up and catching main stem.....she keeps popping up though and pissing me off😂😂👍 Dec 13/20, Day 26 - 2L watering with MagNifiCal @ 1ml, Microbes @ 2ml = 100ppm and 5.7pH - giving her a plain watering but since RO water added some CalMag and their allotment of microbes for the week!! - adjust LST on the girl again and was able to get further on her main stem today. - lower branching is catching up to the top and she is forming our bush.......just took her a couple of days. - she appears as though she is starting transition as well looking at her bud sites. - she is still a little light in the tent but when pulled out her colour isn't too bad. Not going get to crazy so kept her with plain water today rather than another nutrient feed. Dec 14/20, Day 27 - her pot was getting light in evening. - 2L feed with Micro, Grow, Magnifical, Velokelp, Natures Candy @ 1.5ml = 700ppm and 5.8pH - decided to keep going with Veg nutrients and giving her Grow still rather than bloom since her leaf color is not really dark and she still has lots of growth to come as she flips. - likely this will be her last veg feeding👍😀 Dec 15/20, Day 28 - she is feeding as her pot is getting light again today. - 1L RO water with enzymes Komplete @ 2ml = 45ppm and 5.6pH......chose not to adjust it. - enzymes to help clean up the root zone and timing it flower change and nutrients. - Light watering today to help with the LST. - Pulled her out of the tent and tied her down again. - Side branches are very pliable......time for Silica!!! That will wrap up the week for this girl and will move into her first Flower week at week 5👊👍 Add silica as an additive next week and start the flower additives very soon. Need to give a little heavier watering next week with plain water and some enzymes......help clean up the root zone and as we move forward and help avoid any lockout issues.
