Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder
Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder
I didn't notice but it's been a few days. Hope every one is having a nice Spring and tax days/weekend is not a stressor.
I'm working tomorrow and therefore will miss out on the one social event I have any interest in, the roughly every 2-3 month get together of the San DIego's Finest Cuts crew.
I guess I've been lackadaisical round here becuse there's just not a whole lot going on. Water. Watch them grow. Water. Yada. Yada.
I did notice a drop off in the rate of elongation though. I figured i may be getting something of a nute build up going since I have still been watering roughly every other day. I checked the run-off at the watering 2 d ago and it was at 1.8 to 2.2. I did a flush feed with 0.5 EC till the pot run offs were at 0.8 to 0.7 then gave the planned 1.0 EC feed. The plants kind of yawned, scratched their groins and kept on. No visible negative signs that I can make out so far.
the taller of the plants (the Adub pose2be's) are nearly at the level of where I'll be stretching my netting. I opted to go ahead and do a major branch bend of the taller Adub leads a few days ago, despite it being week one of flower. That worked well for about three days. Now they are above every one again.
There's some pistil action happening here and there. I tried to defoiliate when I watered 2 d ago. I just don't have the knowlege and the cojones to strip those things down like everyone says you should.
I have 12/12 seedlings with secondary leaves. One of the Malawi's was pretty trapped in the shell for a while and is looking kind of runty now compared to the other seedlings.
.
I made the mistake of keeping the LED screw in bulbs too far away early on for fear of overdoing the light intensity with new seedlings. As a result, almost all of them grew three to four inches tall with minimal leaf development.
Here's the seedlings before they got really elongated:
I moved them all into solo cups. When I transferred them, I buried most of the redundant stem under the line of the medium. I also moved them all to within 3-4 inches from the lights and they are now sprouting the secondary leaves.
The clones, goodness gracious, what to do? I don't want to kill them but I don't have space for them now.
They are vigorous and well rooted.
I'm kind of prideful at how they have done, sad to say, given my blind efforts to unintentionally kill them through ignorance.
They are beginning to grow into the lights in my closet veg area and are starting to show some light stress, i.e. leaf edge curling. I adjusted the spacing of the shelves on my metal rack. That's not going to hold for long though.
Ok, I'm falling asleep sitting here at the keyboard, so that's enough for now.
