Greetings!
This is end of Week 11. You can see my End of Week 10 post here https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...-10#post289120 .
The light has been set to 12/12 for the past week and I'm seeing individual calyx's on most of the places where calyx's would be expected to grow. The plant is still robust and healthy. I'm keeping up with the 4-or-so gallons of water the plant is using per week, but it's posing another issue. The humidity in the tent is consistently between 80 and 90%. I've got a fan, ducting, etc. ordered and it should be here Tuesday. I will install it Thursday and that will get air moving from the room, to the tent, to the outside world. This should allow me to get a handle on the humidity issue. Hopefully it will also help get a handle on temperature in the res. I'm having to ice it to keep it from going through the roof.
The other challenge I'm looking at has to do with the biomass generated by this plant. I know that at some point, I will probably want to lollipop the plant, but in the meantime, I've got all these leaves shading the interior of the plant and some of the bud sites around the edge. I also have a lot of untrained stems, some of them very robust looking, that have cropped up from the primary stems on the plant. I would take those off, but I have read that one does not want to do things like that when the plant is in flower.
Also, some of these sturdy-looking stems have what I take to be bud sites on them. I'm reluctant to take off those bud sites, though I know that it might be best to sacrifice some of those sites which might not produce worthwhile buds. I have no idea how to distinguish worthwhile bud sites from those which are not. What is the wisdom out there? Do I leave it alone or snip-snip?
Finally, I'm still sweating vertical space. It looks like vertical growth has slowed down a bit, but that could just be wishful thinking, nevertheless, there is a possibility that this thing won't just jam itself against the roof. But even with that, I don't think I have enough light in the tent to really serve the whole plant.
This grow was planned for a small, autoflowering plant. I was given the seed by someone who made it clear that he wasn't totally sure about the seed, but it's my first grow, so I figured it really didn't matter much what the seed was. That's still true, but it's gone really well up to this point and I'm hopeful that it works out well in the end, though I realize compromises in yeld will be made, I'm trying to do the best that I can and hope to actually have some harvest from this plant.
With that, here are some pics. First a growcam shot.
Here is the canopy. Note the vertical space left.
The top of the plant.
A close up.
The stem at the top.
So, that's where we are. All-in-all, it's going pretty well. I just have no idea what I should do at this point to move things along.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks!
