Quick update from me, been meaning to all week, you know how it is!
Lot's been going on down my way. So I finally tried the LST clips out this week as was getting wilder and wilder and they are...brilliant! May have had a slight bending of one and break of another branch on first plant I did (all taped up and healing now) but rest were great. One of them didn't even need them due to some great uniform growth from my earlier LST.
So did that with some defoliation to make sure all bud sites were getting light and removing the lower weak ones. Always feels so brutal but 24hrs later like it never happened.
Gave 5/6 their first flowering booster last night as well (as in to second week of flowering) and fed the Pinot #2 with some CoM plant/veg feed. That second Pinot #2 is odd though as it's hardly vegged but already beginning to flower yet is weeks behind the others. It's like it's seen them flower and gone...watch this...lol!? See how it goes I suppose.
The God Particle also (bottom right in pics) is an odd one. Hard to describe but unlike the others it seems to be biding its time and not exploded in to growth yet. Again, see how she goes, it's interesting. Some nice parentage there (Froot Fuel x Granite Haze) so I'm hoping she does well.
Also installed a second fan so I can have high and low air circulation as much needed now.
Got the VPD up slightly but need that drier weather (lower humidity) which is coming. I don't see the point of buying a de-humidifier, yet. Plants are fine though.
And last but not least...the new light! Was all set to get a tracking number on Tues to be met with, "it's assembled in China and ready to go but they have their national Labour Day holidays May 1st - 5th"....n00000000!!!
So everything shuts down completely and back on 6th. Gotta laugh at this point really. Anyway, should ship 6th or 7th and Mammoth have been great to be honest and totally upfront and apologetic. Instead of shipping to their warehouses as per normal they are sending expedited air freight direct to my door (and many others I suspect). Hopefully arrive by next weekend if I'm lucky or just after.
Phew, that was a lot so here's a few pics from last night. Monstrous growth, so much so I have to keep raising the lights slightly nearly every 24hrs! Love it.
