The First Hello Diary

This week started with last nights yeast & sugar formula which was given at 26°C. I regularly feed at daybreak ( cycle starts at 6am ) but my gut feeling urged a "right before dark" watering. The plants really seem to enjoy it, use this once every 2 weeks. My runoff Ph is at a staggering 9,2 ! I figured it will rise a little due to last treatment of yeast but wow, sounds a lot in comparison! It seems to be rising though at steady pace and the plants show me they are thriving. Eventually convinced myself and gently pressed a few buds between my fingers. Pffff. Hard. No stress. Feeding wise, run out of pretty much everything and spot on. This will be the last fertilizing week for 2 of them , as they definitely are the 8 weeker pheno and for the remaining week of the other 4 will rely on my humble brews. I´m going for a Ph of 6 this week then 6,5 for the final period. No further physical stress will be applied, especially no defoliation. Will start lowering the lights at the end of the week , roughly 2 cm per day. Now...the smell. Not too strong in the sense of "weedy" but overwhelming now and that sweet tang is increasing with each plain watering that I do (every third watering). Each of the 6 plants has a distinctive note (if one has the nose for it) , from fruit candy bar to cotton candy and one reminded me of some Greek homemade candied grapes ! Resin production has reached the fan leaves and I think I won´t further remove the last of the sucker buds as intended and use them all together for bubble hash. The trichomes on these ones are just outrageous in size. #update Day 81 : I realized that my last statement concerning the ''not'' plucking of sucker buds would go against my initial thought of lollipopping 2 weeks before finish and synchronized with the last solid fertilization. So I did.
