Hello everyone!
I decided to post a journal from a grow I took over from a friend, who has maybe a yellow or purple but definitely not a green thumb. He sprouted 20 feminized Wonder Woman seeds, but after planting them in soil only 6 of them made it through. To top it all off, he started with 12/12 all the way, so when i first saw the garden, I saw 1 foot tall plants with the main cola already in flower, with really little flowers.
So it started here. I returned them to veg for 6 weeks to produce a little bit of growth. I used the Advanced hydroponics Grow, Micro and Bloom nutes in soil. Soil is general soil for the time being, I wanted to avoid stressing them any more than necessary. Soil seems fine to me. They grow in 3 gal buckets under 400W HPS in a room of 5'x5'x5' with mylar on the sides. With 2 fans circulating the air. I also have a de-humidifier, during the 6 weeks veg humidity was at around 80% when it was turned off, so I set it to 65%. Right now they are in 3 weeks flowering, humidity is much more less, 50-55% with the device off. Here are some pictures of the ladies.
As you can see on the 4th and 5th pic, I had to remove most of the flowers from the first stage as they started to rot. Fortunately the main stem regenerated just fine. There were also some very strange leaves, a the on in the same pictures in the front, with only 1 leaf. Strange indeed, but since vegging them properly new branches produce 5er or 7er leaves.
I know they are quite ugly with very strange figures, but hey, I did not have the heart to throw them away.
Now for the happy part. When turning them back to veg, I have collected several cuttings to make up for the lost 14 seeds in the beginning. As you could've already found out we are going for SOG with them. But due to lack of height, I start with them already LSTd. Might not be the most professional method, but let me show the pictures for the expert. I am prepared to be lectured.
Is it too early to treat them like this? I really need low plants here due to lack of height. My idea is to let them grow in a circular/spiral way, and from the threads I've read LST seemed the best way to achieve it.
I guess the yellowing leaves are leftovers from the cloning process, they were transplanted 5 days ago. They were cloned in rockwool, the rooted fully in about 12-14 days. I have not used a dome, but will do next time.
I am not using any nutes on them as of now. I plan to only water them for the first 2 weeks in soil.
The plant on the 3rd picture will be my new mother plant so i did not bend her in any way.
I await every and all comments, and every piece of advice.
Thank you, and best regards.
