At the beginning of week 5 it looks like we're doing a major rebound from our slow start. The plants seem very healthy they received their first nutes last week and they were watered today 3-19, 1st day of wk 5
3-20 dang it, I broke a small branch off of #2 Meshach today. Going to try to clone it. Cut all veg but top cola, put into a peat pod. Abednego #3 is not showing sex yet. It's making me crazy. They seem to be soaking up their water really fast. Watered yesterday about a L per plant, pretty dry today. Water at 6.0 pH. Shadrach #1 remains the biggest but #2 is quickly catching up. #3 is just really bushy.
Whoo hoo, finally, Abednego is a beautiful girl. Finally found pistils today. Happy dance. Also switched out from sting for training to using the U-shaped metal spikes. Wow, what a difference. LST is so easy. I can even stake some big fan leaves out of the way easily. Great day!
3-23: Watered - about 1.75 L each, 6 pH. Also -- did a huge defoliation. I went with my guy on this, per retiredoldguy. They were so busy and difficult to work with. Removed a lot of the fans, after watering. They seem much happier -- at least to my eyes.
3-24 The plants took really well to the defol. They are looking great today. Temps got a little cool in the room last night 72 - 44 RH. Mistake on my part, left AC on and heater off. Serious preflower spiders. Upped their water for the 3-23 watering -- 1.75 liters per.
