Big Up, GWE fam! (sorry, been listening to too much grime lately)
It's been a good week for my little sub-10-square-feet grow. Mystic is still going strong, and the Sour Bubbly is a total champ. Mystic #2 is another story alas.
Mystic is drinking and putting on weight, but 90 days in she's kinda getting ready for flush I think. I'll do a trichome watching post later in the week and maybe you can help me make my decision. Anyone else grown Blue Mystic Auto? If so, how many days?
Mystic #2 is the ugly stepchild of the tent alas. She started with that inter-node stretch and has just been weird, gangly, and unimpressive ever since. Side by side with her big sister she's an embarrassment. This said, I must take some blame, my light was a bit too high when she was a seedling, I probably trained her too hard, and in recent weeks she's stretched up to only 14" from my P300 and some of my top colas have bud bleached. My P300 is now back at 18" from the canopy.
Sour Bubbly #2 has been a joy, thick stems, huge fans, really strong growth. I've learned so much from GWE and from this forum, but I relish having my own little ways to do things too. Like rockman I'm stripping my 1st node but keeping both the 2nd and 3rd nodes. Like Green75 I then trim those stems down to something akin to his awesome manifolds. But I never could get Rockman's wire staples or Green's wire hooks to work perfectly for me. I think this is because I have softwire. The thing is I like softwire's grip on the plant, so I made a hybrid staple/hoop/peg with some kebob skewers cut in half and some softwire
4-19-17 DAY 82 | 53 | 17 Fed Mystic leftover Gen III nutes.
4-20-17 DAY 83 | 54 | 18 Made 4 softwire pegs and did some training on Sour Bubbly #2.
4-21-17 DAY 84 | 55 | 18 Leftover nutes to Sour Bubbly. Made Gen I nutes for Mystic #2 w. 5ml CalMag at 5.9 Ph. Made Gen III nutes for Mystic 6.1 Ph. Late flower side: 31%/52% 75/91 Veg side: 35%/51% 77/90
4-23-17 DAY 86 | 57 | 22 Leftover nutes to both Mystics. Late flower side: 30%/46% 75/90 Veg side: 36%/52% 77/86
4-25-17 DAY 88 | 59 | 24 Made Gen III for Mystic 6.0 Ph. I was concerned that my fan was drying out her pot (and perhaps making it seems she's thirstier than she really is). Simple solution, I pinned a piece of white card across the lower level of my pepper cage Late flower side: 22%/50% 73/81 Veg side: 25%/51% 75/86
4-27-17 DAY 90 | 61 | 26 Sour Bubbly's been doing so well that I made her Veg II nutes today with 5ml of CalMag 6.0 Ph. I also gave her a major haircut, 7 growth tips/stems, and 14 fan leaves. Made Gen II 6.0 Ph nutes for Mystic #2 (this is the p/k boost), not sure if the timings right she's such a little weirdo. Late flower side: 22%/55% 70/90 Veg side: 25%/56% 73/88
I've also been germinating some random seeds for my buddy's new open air greenhouse.
