I raised the cob light as high as it can go. I started to notice heat stress symptoms she grew too close to the lights while I was away. The QB are 14" from the top cola. 20" from the canopy.
Now the light looks much more evenly spread across the tent and strangely almost immediately after the leaf curl started to relax. It must just be my imagination, but I swear it was a change within minutes after raising them. The side that had the lights down low before I raised all of them evenly was more curled still when I noticed the change.
When I went to check on the soil I did my usual check on bottom and it was fairly dry feeling. I’ll keep an eye on them, but otherwise the plan is to save watering for tomorrow afternoon if needed. Stems are still pretty rigid. I’ll get some training ties soon to get her branches moved away from the center as she’s getting leaves on top of others. With the random rain and high humidity and the few leaves I found with a white fuzz on them I’m worrying about mold now🤦♂️ I’ll be doing a full inspection as I acted fast and didn’t have time to pics. Leaves were taken out of the tent and grow room area. I took a few leaves too close to the soil off again. I’m not 100% sure, but she might be low on phosphorus, but with the name crystal candy I’m thinking maybe it’s a strain that has purple stems as the purple stem was through the fingers too not just up to the fingers. My friends plant that showed a similar look is currently making some colorful pistils and if I’m lucky maybe this will too🤷🏼♂️ If the color pattern is normal I’ll be interested in seeing a purple plant.
Marauder and DBHP both have opened up their leaves and poked out the first serrated leaves already
For the moment I keep them organized by keeping DBHP on the left and Marauder on the right. I must have added too much water to the soil before for Marauder DBHP looks pretty happy TBH.
The lemon balm responded to the topping really well and they’re both growing the lowers now and in general growth resumed after the same day. Now with a 18/6 light cycle I’m sure all the plants in tbe tent will be much happier. Give them a break to rest. Only Audrey to my knowledge is a day neutral plant🤷🏼♂️ I should let the rest sleep honestly.
The Rosie Basil is liking the various topping methods. It seems it doesn’t matter your style of topping/pinching it’ll give me plenty of basil to work with once i give it a bigger pot.
The sacred basil/Tulsi is responding extremely well to the topping as well. Growth is all over, but it’s run into nutrient issues I guess I should start letting the soil dry out more between watering and watch it. I can always grow a new one if I screw this one over. Very little care information is out there on Tulsi that I can find. Maybe I’m just stupid and can’t search right
The lavender is doing really well now and I found out it’s a drought tolerant/loving plant. It seems to have more succulent like leaves, so I guess it makes sense😂
The mint is in flower now no matter how much I prune it back. It just grows flowers from the newest nodes ASAP I guess I’ll have a new pot free if it won’t stop:man_shrugging:t3: unless mint self seeds then I’ll plant a new batch of it from seed next time. I just trimmed back anything I could that looked like new growth that wasn’t obviously leaves. No pics for now. I forgot to take one of it and I need to be up in 5 hours
