Jesus

SUMMARY: I started LST this week by anchoring the base with wire from one side of the pot and gently bending the top in the opposite direction and securing in place with more wire. Even with anchoring the base the plant is now coming out the ground at a 45° angle. I have tried to leave her alone as much as possible and only tied down shoots when I see them ensuring they are spaced away from each other and will fill the pot when they get their pre-flower growth spurt. She is a very compact and bushy plant with tight spacing between nodes and so she is a real pain in the ass to water. I feel like as I become more experienced I will start employing techniques during veg to ensure more stretch and perhaps early defol/lollipopping as I have so much difficulty watering these small plants especially when you have LST in the mix and wires everywhere. DAY 23 -------- Friday 15th January 18:00 I made 5L of week 3 nutes (Ph 6.0) with rainwater and collected 35ml runoff from yesterdays feed (%) which is not enough. Friday 15th January 20:30 I gave Jesus 2L as I didn't see any runoff after 1L. I checked on it later and collected 1.5L runoff (75%)!! I started LST anchoring the base from one side and then gently pulling the top down from the other side to as close to 90° as safely possible. I'm noticing a smell now as well. [28°C/60%] DAY 24 -------- Saturday 16th January 20:45 I gave jesus 3L of week 3 nutes as I didnt see any runoff after the first 2L. I collected 1.55L runoff (51%). DAY 25 -------- Sunday 17th January 17:30 I fed Jesus 2L of week 3 nutes after not seeing a drop of runoff from 1L. I left it a couple of hours and then collected 1L (50%). I lowered the dehumidifier to 75% power as the RH has been very high this wknd [24°C/77%] DAY 26 -------- Monday 18th January 18:15 I fed Jesus 2.5L after not seeing any runoff after 2L. She's bouncing back after the first bit of LST though I can see the slightest of what appears to be nute burn on the tips. [25°C/47%] Monday 18th January 20:30 I collected 980ml from Jesus (39%). So 2L per day looks to be the sweet spot. I turned the humidifier back up to 100% as the hygrometer was reading so high seemingly due to being sat on the coco. Moving onto a dry surface it is now showing 54% RH. DAY 27 -------- Tuesday 19th January 18:30 I fed Jesus 2L of week 3 nutes which produced 600ml (30%). I also tied down 2 more shoots so I have the main stem and 2 shoots all tied down in opposite directions. [27°C/59%] DAY 28 -------- Wednesday 20th January 19:00 Fed Jesus 2.5L after seeing so runoff from 1.5 or 2L. It produced 900ml runoff (36%). The heater has burnt one of the big fan leaves and crisped it so I have rearranged the tent a little to prevent this from happening again. I also tied down another shoot and added a second tie to the main stem pulling it in a clockwise direction around the pot. [21°C/60%] DAY 29 -------- Thursday 21st January 11:00 The tent temp is a bit low at 16°C as its been snowing here last night. I thought the heater had broken as it was not on even though the ink bird was showing that it was heating. But I switched the heater off and on and it's now heating. Will have to keep my eye on this as it's an old heater. I've got a new one I bought ready to replace it so might just do that this weekend and avoid the risk as i understand one night of cold temps could kill these girls. [16°C/60%] Thursday 21st January 20:00 The heater had broken and so the tent was down 16°C. My bluetooth hygrometer battery also died and so I cant see exactly when it died but it seems that one of the coils had gone and so it just couldn't keep the space heated. I put a new fan heater in that i had on standby and were back up to 24-25°C. I fed Jesus 2L of week 3 nutes which produced 1.5L runoff (75%). Clearly not drank as much due to the low temps, which have possibly stunted her growth too a little.
