JS....Thank you for the LST compliment, learned it here as I wanted to keep the girls squat and dense, just saw a link where a gardener is using fishing gear to hold the branches down...awesome.
I was given two clones around 25 Oct, was told they are White Rhino - Girl Scout Cookie cross. I repurposed my laundry room into a veg/clone/germination area. I am running a 4' 8 light T5s for veg, 18/6 hrs, two small fans (1 each plant) used to keep the air under the canopies continuously circulating.
The room is ventilated and I run a humidifier on low continuously in order to keep humidity between 50 -60% RH. The room has reached the mid 80s F, just open the door allowing air circulation from the house or turn off 4 of the 8 T5s if I want to be safe while away.
When I first received the clones, they were about 6", topped, and in Solo cups, no idea what mutes had been used up to then so believe I was too cautious and not feeding as I should (not sure if they were locked up or not being provided adequate nutrients?.....was very excited and wanted to go slow). They were becoming lime green. As I said this site Rocks, went from post to post and came up with N deficiency.....All better.
I transplanted on Oct 25th into 5 Gal breathable pots. I usually feed and water lightly more often (daily or every other day dependent on how dry top 5" or so of soil.). I alternate between plain H2O and notes for the most part and give an extra meal here an there.
I am using
Roots Organics - Buddha Grow (2T per gal), with a few drops of B1. H2O is from well and PH tested (6.6 out of the tap), once nutes are added it drops to the mid to low 4s, add PH up to get back to the mid to low 6s. Question: what natural method could be used to increase PH.....I am sure I can look it up.
I have been doing minimum pruning, focused on getting light to the center and lower branches, seems to be working well. Lower branches are reaching for the light.
I am still setting up my flower station in the garage.
Here's the basic set-up.
