My dear @herr_gruen, those will be very long shoots, I think.
After the slight stress that reshaping brings, I would soon put the ladies into bigger shoes so that the roots can continue to spread out nicely.
It already protrudes significantly beyond the pot volume!
And what’s up on my end, regarding the 2 Cookies OG clones that are still there?
First, for three days now, toothache has been bothering me, lower left, the bridge of ceramic crowns.
The health insurance company’s payment approval is available. Awesome!
In not quite three years, the total costs of treatments, just for replacement, now amount to 12,000 Euros. The idiots, but they want it that way and then they’ll get it that way.
Right away, properly – from a cost perspective, these could have been implants. And that’s just what the health insurance company is covering for the 2nd time, without what I already had to contribute myself.
Only this time I’m not contributing anything more.
I actually have up to 6 months to claim it and originally wanted to postpone it a bit longer. But circumstances are now forcing me to go back to the dentist.
And the pain also lets my brain drift off a bit. So, back to the clones.
Yesterday, after three days, there was a proper watering, from the top into the soil. 2.5 L of water per pot.
And again, the Living Soil, in combination with too intense lighting, is causing issues here.
Now, in the Bud Swelling phase, the microbes can no longer keep up with supplying sufficient amounts of Calcium / Magnesium and co. for it.
Thus, with 100% light dimmer and a distance of 35 cm, the uppermost foliage became lighter.
The first remedy was to turn down the dimmer to 80% and today I will dim it further to 75%, which still provides 240 watts of power.
In addition, I will measure the PPFD to more precisely illuminate the topmost buds with 1000 and the area below with 800 to 900.
This will somewhat reduce the need for Calcium / Magnesium and will be gentler on the plants’ health.
It won’t get greener, but they should finish.
I considered performing a foliar feeding. But now, on bloom day 39, shortly before the start of the 7th week of bloom, where there is already a good amount of flower mass present.
The risk of bud rot would be too high for me again.
So today I will incorporate a small amount of Dolomite Lime into the topsoil as a solid, for the next few days, and tomorrow, for direct supply, I still have the 420 Flow Bio CalMag with amino acids, which I will then water directly to the roots at 1 ml per liter, pH regulated.
Since there are only about 23 days left until the end, I can easily apply it twice.
Yep, and the microorganisms will also benefit from the amino acids again.
That will only happen tomorrow because I prefer to let the soil dry out a bit more today. Because wet on wet, the root hairs would suffer again.
I just hope the CalMag is still healthy and good. The bottle is almost 2 years old. But it didn’t get any frost. Standing in the dark, I’ll shake it up right away.
I’ll do the sniff test, pour a little into a glass and see if it looks flaky. If everything’s okay, it’ll be used. For the pH meter to work perfectly, I need to recalibrate it right away. That’s better.
I’ve already lowered the RH (relative humidity) a bit today. 49 - 51% should help prevent the buds from staying too moist for too long.
The RH will, however, be gently lowered further with each passing day.
Then I’ll get to work to do something good for the two of them in their final days.
I also want something good from them.
Wish you a nice rest of the day. Greetings from Pflanzenpaule
