18/05/20 - Day 53 - Howdy, it has been a little while since my last post. I thought I would leave it for a bit as I have had no major issues other than a small
calmag deficiency in one of them which was very quickly rectified by adding
calmag in to the res which i hadn't been doing previously as my nutes are designed for soft water so they have added
calmag in them. Also didn't want to bore you guys with weekly pics watching the plants grow.
Now, we are at the exciting bit. I switched over to 12/12 light cycle on 10/05/20 so now we are just over a week in to flower. I decided to make the switch when they were at 14 inches tall to compensate for the stretch. Thought they are Indica dominant i have learned to expect at least a doubling in size though it is starting to look like I could have given this particular phenotype perhaps another week but better safe than sorry.
The day I made the switch I adjusted the reservoir to 2.0 EC ( have been slowly increasing since the
calmag issue) with a half and half mix of grow and bloom nutes. Still with the added
calmag and including the Top Heavy Crop from Hydrotops. The results speak for themselves. All three plants are loving life at the moment, Leela (top left in the pic) has 8 main colas!!! Leia has 6 main colas and Lyra has 4. Also, at this stage all three are confirmed ladies. I have used feminized seeds so this was the likely outcome but you never know really until you see those white hairs at the nodes.
I shall return once we start to see some of those lovely titties appearing :)
