Miss Maggie has been getting light 24 hrs a day. Tonight she’s going on a 18/6 light scheudle. Lights out at 10pm back on at 4am. Hopefully this will give a little stretch so I can get in there and surgically top her.
I’ll post new DLI #'s
So here’s the #'s from decrease in hours of light. I did not change height of light, or the intensity of light. Only added a timer. 18 hrs on… 6 hrs off. Dli dropped to 30’s. Which is good for the next few days because she’ll be reaching for the light and will give a better opportunity at a good clean topping.
Day 15
Miss Maggie really liked that drink yesterday. And the switch from 24 hrs light to 18 hrs of light.
She’s 7.5" wide 3.25" high this morning.
I love chubby girls…
She’s getting a haircut soon.
HAPPY GIRL
Looks like I’m gonna have to remove some lumber from the top of her pot. I see a bunch of logs laying around under her.
Removing lumber - you are funny my friend!
Thanks for the tip Alienofasoul; I’ll have to try that. Miss Maggie looks perfect OG. I like the idea of naming the girls. I think my stray will be Loa (Little orphan Annie).
Day 16
Miss Maggie got a litte bit taller overnight. I gave her about 5 cups of the Rhizotonic Calmag mix at ph 6.6 this morning. Probably going to top her at the next node, tomorrow or Monday morning.
HAPPY GIRL
Miss Maggie is looking very good!
Maggie appears happy and healthy!!
Growing well.
Yes sir. She’s doing pretty good.
Day 17
Maggie got a haircut this morning. Topped her at what would have been her 5th node. Snip snip . I anticipate very little recovery time. Don’t think she’ll miss a beat actually. I will being tucking and tying this up coming week.
HAPPY GIRL
Day 18
Miss Maggie didn’t seem to mind the topping at all yesterday. Her first set of 7 point leaves are healthy as can be. And I got a good, close, clean cut on that 5th node with sterilized Fiskar’s
She got a big ole drink this morning. About a half gallon of Rhizotonic/CalMag water ph’d 6.5. The pot is HEAVY. She’s good for a few days on autopilot. I’ll just peek in a couple times a day making sure the climate conditions are good.
As soon as her pot feels light, maybe Wednesday, definitely by Thursday, I’ll give her a Gallon of RO water to get about 2 cups of run off and see what the numbers are. I have all of the Foxfarm nutes I need for the entire grow ready to deploy.
Right now…she’s a HAPPY GIRL
For the numbers people:
I raised her DLI back up to mid 40’s.
I had lowered it to about 30 5 days ago so she would reach a little and make it easier for a clean topping. She’s happy, so I turned the wattage back up a tad. Limited to 55" tent height so gotta keep her as short as possible
Light is HLG135RSPECV2 hanging 23" from Maggie’s top. I still have yet to buy a watt-meter to see actual draw. I think it’s turned up to about 70-80% right now.
Great work!
These littile growths I have circled will be the main tops but according to my last grow, not necessarily the biggest fattest tops. This plant will probably pop 8 main branches since it was topped above the 4th node. @Hellraiser maybe can verify this logic.
I’ll prune any branch smaller than a #2 pencil at begining of the stretch. Hopefully end up with 6 or more fat towers over an ounce each.
She’s a lovely young lady
Yes it will.
