thanks (again) :+1:t4: for the advice and LINK…i’ll get the mini-fan :wind_face: set up and get my “study :books: on” as there is a lot of anticipation :grimacing: in how to manage :scissors: :barber: :yarn: :goal_net: the upcoming grow stages :leafy_green:

There is a ton of info on that site and plenty of very knowledgeable people here on AG to assist as well. Do your homework and don’t hesitate to ask questions regarding anything that has to do with your grow, big or small, there’s no such thing as a dumb question! We would rather you ask and avoid the many pitfalls than have to bail you out after a mistake has been made (which we will still happily do :joy:). You’re off to a great start, I look forward to keeping up with your grow!

  • a deracho wind blast :wind_face: knocked out power :electric_plug: and internet for 1.5 hot :hot_face:summer days in Chicago yesterday in which my iPhone :iphone: was used as a HotSpot so the Grobo could connect online. The online connection dropped several times due to the weak signal :signal_strength: but she’s looking OK after the ordeal as things are thankfully back ON now

  • minor leave discoloration at tip of leaves that touched the plastic cover. :groboone: Grobo support racks used to lift lower leaves from touching the cover. bottle #4 and #5 used the most since last drain/fill. used 10 ml hydroguard w/ 2 gallon distilled water :droplet:

  • 1st set of single finger :leafy_green: leaves have begun to TWIST :tornado:…potential pH ?? or recent temp :thermometer: fluctuation issue??

zzz
zzz1969×1695 533 KB

  • bluelab pen pH reading is 6.2…is that too high :arrow_up:?

  • ticket :tickets: was just submitted

  • ASSUME the twist :tornado: is due to a power :electric_plug: outage that occurred on the 14th day of grow in which the water temps went up :arrow_up: to 79 F from 73 F? OR its due to the current pH level?

  • in addition, coco pod up top is still moist (not wet though):droplet:in which the coco pod was carefully raised up in hopes to dry :hotsprings: it out more with the use of a mini fan :wind_face:. i’m paranoid about damping off :scream:

  • roots looking white, growing and not obstructing probe

THOUGHTS?

She looks great, those two lower leaves are twisting due to them being in contact with the support racks.

Day 27 (3/14 late vegetation)

Hi AG community,

looking for some advice…

is it :ok: to remove :scissors: these fan leaves on my next upcoming water :droplet: change in a couple of days (day 29)?

the three-finger fan leaves :shamrock: were removed :scissors: on day 25 during a mid-week fill up of almost a gallon :droplet: …plan to top off water fills twice a week :calendar: from now on due to the increased water use :sweat_drops:…the next set of seven finger fan leaves :leafy_green: were removed :scissors:on day 26

likely to extend an additional week due to topping and trimming but waiting to see how she looks closer to the end of this cycle.

any feedback is appreciated…

trimming :scissors: summary (on water :droplet: change days)

  • day 22 - topped @ 5th node (1st cut); removed 1st set of single leaves; grew fast afterwards

  • day 29 - removed 4 largest fan leaves and 4 fan lowest fan leaves; grew fast and turned bushy afterwards

  • day 36 - removed large fan leaves, lower fan leaves, “cringled” fan leaves, and fan leaves blocking future buds…hopefully not too much :scissors: at one time :crossed_fingers:t5:

090120 (2)1827×1827 575 KB

wanted to remove more fan leaves but had to put the trimmer down before i get carried away…decided to attempt to guide the 10 main branches into different scrog openings
