Saturday and time for the weekly report!
Past Week Notes - Tent B
9-2 - Various training to get all about same height. Both Widows weak stems. Sent clones to Tent A. Stem on Wonder #1 split and bandaged with cheesecloth, treated with water/H2O2 spray (8 oz/7.5ml)
9-5 - Both Widows are at best shocked but I think stunted. Almost certain this is because of being twins. All others going good and recovered from training with no slow down. Added 12 ml Grow. Likely going to pull the 2 Widows and let the other 4 plants use the extra space, even if just stunted they likely can’t catch up and will not get proper light. Looking to start flower on 9-16 at latest.
9-7 - Pulled both Widows. They had both recovered from the training on 9/2 but simply never grew beyond that. Both had very weak/soft stems at the rooter, pulled them right after a flood to check the working dampness of the top rooter and it was good, solid damp but not soaked at the bottom with an even drying up to a not dry but not wet top of the rooter. The “cool†of present moisture but not wet.
Roots were healthy, but not as spread out as I would like, they basically followed the rooters down. Not totally unexpected, I’ve been working on adding a “root development phase†to my grows for the E&F in order to best utilize the Smart Pots. I’ll wait to see how the other root-balls look after harvest before making a change, so Winter Grow at the earliest.
Rearranged plants to use opened space. Did some further LST pulling branches down.
9-8 - Add 5 gal RO. Let circulate 1 flood, Check PPM/PH on next flood and adjust. 812/6.4, add CalMag/Micro/Gro/Bloom 24/24/12/12. 1104/5.4
Losing the Widows is sad. I hate to pulling the plug, but sometimes it's just for the best.
I'm loving the E&F! I should be getting the parts to make the next set for Tent A this week, when I do I'll put together a little DIY tutorial. Gotta get it done, my local Wal-Mart is closing, bah! That's really going to suck as it's the only one within 30+ miles. Which not only sucks for shopping in general but makes getting my meds a bitch too. Oh well, roll with the punches I guess.
Besides the Widows the week went smooth, Res running great, plants doing great, though I went a bit high on PPMs last night so might get a little nute burn out of it. Just kind of testing levels to give an idea of who likes what.

(#) remaining addition qty before triggered change.
Before
LST and defol on everyone. Also grabbed 3 Wonder Woman clones for Tent A. I'll likely grab a couple more in a few days just to get a couple bigger ones and to make sure I get 2 -4 rooted. Pretty much gonna let them grow a few inches then flip them to flower.
Wonder Woman #1 - I was a bit shaky and unsteady today so pics may not be the best. Thick branches and stem. Split still wrapped.
Wonder Woman #2 - Again, this strain has vigor.
Northern Light - A SOG of these would be amazing I think, Next time
Candida - I can't wait to try this strain. She doesn't belong in a grow with the Wonder Woman or Northern Light plants, but she is definitely gonna play with the big girls and hold her ground.
And of course the After Shot
Kick ass Saturday even if I was off a bit. I've pretty much taken an hour nap every 2 hours today :/
