When you HST like that, your stem get a knuckle at that spot, and makes like a super highway for nutrients, and you'll notice bigger heads on the specific branch.

Ahh got it, thanks

I use Lava dust in my soil, but if you going to add after it's okay, and so is Diatomaceous earth. 

I must add, the Diatomaceous earth is going to take slightly longer to breakdown and be available, hence why I use Lava dust.

Second net is up, might cut it to a 5x5 instead of a 6x6

[Orcanic]

I cannot stand these flimsy nets

Hand made scrog net @CreXstyle is this weekends project lol

[Orcanic]

This stem got hooked on the net while I was readjusting it and snapped Lifted the net up a bit and now it’s resting on it so I’m hoping it will repair itself quickly

[CreX]

as long as there is some cambium still attached, she will come right. try not to even move that node for a week for a full repair

Yep there’s about half of it still attached. Luckily it was much longer than all the other stems so it gives them time to catch up.

SCROG net done. Much better

I like your net that looks like its built to support a lot of weight.

Weekly update - built and put in the new SCROG. Also added silica to the feeding mix.

Getting a bit worried about the lack of vertical growth on some of the branches of Plant B (right)

Very annoying but I may have to flower early as I'll be going away in 3 months. Will probably be forced to flip this or next week

Your plants are exhibiting early onset calcium/nitrogen deficiency and most likely bad pH, you can see by the leaves on the right plant excessive ridges along the leaf.

Just recalibrated my meter and PH was off by 1.0

Adjusted the water and put it back down to 5.8

Will let it sit in the bottle overnight and check in the morning. It usually goes up about .1 or .2

6 June 2021 - Flower started

Weekly update - I flipped my plants down from 18 hours to 12 hours of light last night. Lights on is at 8:30pm - 8:30am as that's when it's the coldest in CPT from what I've seen.

Ideally I would have vegged for another 2-4 weeks but I'm under immense time pressure (estimated harvest is between 25/07 and 08/08, I need them jarred by 20/08..) so I had to flip early as I mentioned in an earlier post.

But I think that I will still be happy come harvest, as this is the first time I'm going into flower without experiencing any major health issues. I like having all of the control with coco, I think I'm going to stick with it. I am hoping for over 120g dry.. but we'll see.

(the leaves might seem brown in some spots - I have checked and it's the weird light from my half working burple I got for free)

Did you tape it , it usually helps and it's ready and healed after 3 days

@MrE Argh so annoying.

I let mine rest on the Scrog so that the pieces were still touching and left it. It recovered within a week.
