So, these lovely ladies are on their way to recovery. One is doing a little worse than the other two (the smaller one). The topping seems to have gone well. Still dipping a little, but I have been watering a little more. Going to be backing off the next few days. But they are looking green and healthy.

2 photos from Wednesday, and the rest from today.

gaaaaah i cant man... i gotta say it again... there is something not lekker with your pH... even tho your range seems fine... there seems to be an issue.

if anything i would say your ph is too high, i would adjust down a bit more, 5.6-6.0

Yeah I am also not so happy with them the last week. Not looking as perky and growth not as good as the previous week. I have been hitting them harder than usual with nutes also, so I may just flush and see from there. Appreciate the concern though

Hey bud, I was looking for the screenshot where you mentioned that soil mix picture and couldnt find it.What is your soil mix?

[Live Canna]

Update   The two in the back are looking better and have resumed growth. The one in front is still struggling. The temps have been bitter cold this week though.

So, the time has come for the flip 

I spent some time over the weekend transplanting the last 2 plants  Roots were staring to spin a bit but were looking nice and healthy. I pruned them a bit (by plucking/pulling them outwards so that they are enticed to grow and not continue on their spinning path).

I have been feeding with a reduced PH of around 5.7-5.8 now. They are looking a bit healthier. And then of course I went to bend the one main stem (out of the 2 from topping), and it snapped off...eish. So I decided to pluck the other one off, this late in the game, I know. Any who, that one does look better. I will post some pics from this morning in another post.

Herewith the pics.

And then the pics from this morning.

Sadly, on opening the tent this morning, I saw my one plant (front left) had fallen over off the wooden stand, and was squished against the side of the tent...so I righted it as much as I could.

They are not as far as I wanted them, but work has just been stupidly busy again and my priorities are just not able to cater for the grow right now. But I continue as much as I can 

Back centre - is the one whose 2 main stems I have removed.
Front left - as you can see is the one that fell

Hehe thanks bud, I also thought of that...two good samples there. But honestly I don't have the time for anything more right now. There is a lot going on in my mind and with work and life (looking/exploring at a major move) so the focus is just not there for my growing right now. Sadly it is what it is

Thanks bud, really appreciate that. Its a pity as I prepped/bought and spent for some big growing plans, but all on hold/cancelled now for bigger LIFE plans which supersedes at this point

Looking a decent amount healthier this week. Cold week up ahead, but overall happier looking plants. The one that I re-topped is doing well and probably the best (back centre). But front right is also looking nice and bushy and healthy.

Yeah, correct. My bad. Work is taking its toll, will update shortly.

So I have been once again neglecting the plants   They got a small feeding yesterday morning quickly and some more today. Other than that I think they have been dry for a week, so not grand.

Anyways   This is where we are at. Back middle has grown a lot and is really looking the best out of all.

[Live Canna]

They seem to be doing a bit better. Although the temps in the tent were below 10c a lot this last week.

They had two good feedings with molasses also, so I think this has contributed to them doing better.

Ladies are looking stronger

[Live Canna]

Ladies are looking good. In need of a feeding again, but other than that they are looking nice and strong.

[Live Canna]

Kept up with the feeding this week, so they are looking a lot happier  Not perfect, but its what time allows right now.

Thanks bud! Appreciate it. They are definitely looking better now than the earlier days as I have spent some more time with them. I just hope they still fatten up enough and are not going to be small buds due to my lack of nutrients and watering. Time shall tell

I'm sure they will ab just fine..

So the latest pics are up. I have counted and she did 7 weeks of veg roughly and is now in week 9 of flower as I flipped on the specified date (Week 16 overall). The other day I top dressed the soil, and she has been getting mainly plain RO water since.

The buds are starting to fatten up a little which is nice. The frost is everywhere though and she is smelling good  Had a quick look at the trichomes the other day also to see where we are sitting and most are expectedly still clear.

[Live Canna]

So we are into week 10 of flower.

I gave the ladies 2 feedings of banana tea and molasses last week, and I feel like they are starting to bulk up nicely too. Took some trichome shots as well, they are starting to go cloudy but overall still clear. So we still have some time.
