Ok now NL is ready for flowering alternating nodes and everything and if it grows 50% to 100% during flowering it would be enough for me
But due to lack of planing, actually more accurately because my blueberry died and i planted Dinachem and WW 1-2 weeks after NL and because i had couple of setbacks as i am new to manifolding they are not quite ready
First one is Dinachem and second one is WW, they need time i know at least two weeks but at most in a week i will switch to flower and we’ll see what happens, dinachem healed up pretty good by the way, that branch was almost 100% detached and was just dangling there it felt like i was grafting its own branch to the plant. Also i got clones from all of them and i will do another run with WW and Dinachem, taking my time and letting them grow as they please, after this one ends so no big deal and i will probably have good yields with NL but miniature plants with WW and Dinachem. I think the problem was too much teas with those two, they dont have the same appetite as the NL. Well now that i know, next run could only get better.

This is my clone tray
This is the first clone i took from the NL, the little and lanky one which rooted while the big fat one did not, i topped it when it grew a bit and throw it in with the others i will flower this one too.
This is the NL with a wide angle lens

Legit just did the same thing, took a few pieces of tape and good as new lolView attachment 802987 View attachment 802989 Ok this is what i did to hold it together its beeswax i wrapped it around the branch and applied some minimal heat to make it melt a bit. Would this work?

Yeah actually i wrapped all the bruised or damaged branches with beeswax after seeing how well it healed, i am not sure on this but i feel like it allows the plant to heal much faster, i haven’t really used tapes before so i cannot compare but all the damaged branches i left uncovered took a week or so to heal while the ones i wrapped with beeswax took 2-4 days to completely heal. Especially this one was completely off the plant.Legit just did the same thing, took a few pieces of tape and good as new lol

Time for an update,
First of all NL is doing fine, i defoliated yesterday to keep the airflow nice it was getting too bushy and also some of the older leaves had slight N toxicity symptoms, i think its gonna be fine, it has pretty much an even canopy which makes me happy.
Also i see that flowers are starting to form
Dinachem actually pretty much caught up with the NL, which is nice seeing it had too many accidents and downfalls while vegging, its canopy is not as even as the NL but i’m still supercropping and i think it will be just fine.
And the WW is still growing a little funny i am not quite sure but i think it is not only a light feeder but maybe a non feeder, it is so hard to please this one.

Ok, dreaded pm got to me too.
I noticed a smudge aproximately 2mmx8mm on dinachem. Plucked the leave and did a defoliation to increase airflow and also to get the other ones i might have missed.
Checked the other plants and they seem fine, no white patches, but i noticed couple of dew drops on NL and Dinachem, sticky and clear drops. What could that be, have you experienced something like this? They were on the upside of the leaves and lights were on.
Also i am thinking of applying milk spray, sodium bicarbonate spray or apple cider vinegar spray to eradicate powdery mildew, my plants are forming flowers now, do you think any of these sprays would have an adverse effect?

This the NL after a week from the switch to 12/12. It looks good to me still a tad too much nitrogen but my soil was too rich i guess because i am still not adding anything except one bat guano tea which had no N. But nothing too serious i guess. Also i got the NL clone out of the flowering room because of the pm, just wanted to give everyone a little more room to breathe. I haven’t written down their heights prior to the switch but i adjusted the light to 50 cm from the NL, 65 cm from dinachem and white widow 6 days ago. Now the NL is at 35 cm and the Dinachem and the WW are at 45-48.

1st and 3rd are Dinachem, 2nd and 4th are WW. Now this is after their extreme defoliation thanks to pm scare. But i can already see the leaves growing after 24hrs. Dinachem has 2 parts, 4 main stalks which are bigger and 4 smaller, 3 of the smaller ones are on the branch that broke off accidentally, i hope they catch up eventually. WW is doing what it does best, it is fussing about everything. I am almost sure my soil mix was too strong for it specifically too much nitrogen, but it is slowly recovering i think.

Also i did a 50/50 water and 3% peroxide spray with added lavender and mint oil, i didn’t apply it directly on the plant but rather sprayed the tent and the collection tray, if the plants show no adverse effects i will spray couple more times.

Ok did a little experimenting with some essential oils, i did 3 sprays with different strength, first and the weakest one sprayed on NL, which had no adverse effects, second one was dinachem, medium strength with little to no adverse effects, third and strongest was sprayed on the white widow, and there was severe leaf burn and curling of the leaves. It was actually not a bother for me because as i said already its a fussy plant and gonna be a miniature anyway, also i have been smoking white widow for too long, at this point i am using it to experiment on it.
Anyway, i gave it a good bath with hot soapy mixture and then rinsed it with clean water, did the same for dinachem too. Nl was not affected so i didnt touch it. Also i had some biobizz leaf coat which i then sprayed the plants with. It seems this is a natural latex spray which is supposed to create a 1.5 micron latex film on the leaves. Well we will see

BAD NEWS.
Culled the white widow. It was too fussy plus i couldn’t get the rh low enough to prevent pm happening again so, less plants less humidity. I hope i can get it below 65.
Managed to salvage 4 tops as clones the other 4 was affected pretty badly from the essential oil spray, i could clone them but it was not going to worth the effort. It was not a keeper for sure. Well live and learn.
Anyway i got fed up with it, being fussy and growing slow so i culled it. It makes me sad to lose a gal but both high rh and the bad health of this one could cause an outbrake of something late flowering so i think i did good.
We will see if they root or not.

Rh seems like its down to 55 and my plants needs a watering but i am starving them so they learn how to behave around other plants and don’t transmit diseases to each other. Well i think it was a good idea to cull the ww i am going to do another run in autumn because i hated the summer grow and i want to be sure i have enough till next spring. If anyone has any suggestions on seeds go ahead. I am thinking blueberry for sure this time and maybe something kush also, dinafem is the seedbank of my choice for now and i want to try their blue kush and critical kush also i am really interested in a strain called 24k gold by dna genetics and also some bubba kush or gorilla by dinafem. If i have the budget i will get another light and do 4 this time as i can keep my temps and rh at good levels in winter. If i can’t get a light i will still do 4 plants but with my current light. Turns out my grow light is not that bad, it was handling 3 plants perfectly before i sprayed liquid death on one of them :)

This is dinachem
The Nl and dinachem are doing well, well the NL is going good but Dinachem is still a miniature. The slight burns on the leaves are from the spray and the curling is from the heat stress. My tent is at 27 but when i open the tent the hot air rushes in cause i don’t exhaust to outside and it goes over 30. I am trying to not open it very frequently.
I can’t seem to write a reply from my ipad the text editor doesn’t work correctly so the pics are all mixed up but there are two pics of dinachem and the other ones are of the NL well i think it is budding up nicely. Dinachem is going well too at least it is healthy and no sign of pm.
