May 29, day 70, the Euforia continues to increase the size of it's buds, but still has a ways to go. It is going to be a late finisher for an auto, but if the buds keep increasing well for a couple more weeks longer then the wait will be worth it. The smell has been mild and sweet for a skunk derived cultivar.
The flush of the coco seemed to help with the minor tip burn, but I slightly reduced the EC as I would prefer to not be pushing at the maximum of what the plant can take. It is still healthy and vigorous. My biggest concern is possible mold late in flower with how dense the canopy is. But I can continue to remove leaves as needed when the buds really bulk up.
May 31, day 72, the Euforia's buds continue to swell and produce more trichomes. With the dense canopy I have to spread the colas and reach deep into the plant to remove dead/spent leaves and to prune for airflow, but my arms are now getting coated with sweet skunky resin.
June 3 day 75, the Euforia's buds continue to swell and ripen. There has been some minor yellowing of the top leaves in places, but nothing out of the ordinary for the plant's age. My Apera ph20 meter is having some calibration issues (flashing error 1) so I am awaiting some new ph7 and ph4 calibration liquid. Hopefully its not ⚰️. In the meantime I am using Gh liquid pH test drops which I keep as a backup. They work well but I am always left second guessing whether I have the right shade of yellow in the test solution.
That is so huge for one plant! My Candy Kush is at day 16 and I started LST, I really want to train it a lot. I LST all my autos and it makes a big difference.Last year I trained my critical purple pretty well and after seeing yours, I want to get mine the same. Every year I learn more so I'm being diligent as can be. I use pipe cleaners from the Walmart craft section, they're nice and fuzzy and can’t cut into the stems. I'm excited watching your progress, that's as good as it gets, big time!
@nhcowboy, yeah, it's gotten really big! When I switched to growing coco I started overgrowing my little tent, although I'm still a fan of soil growing as well. I think LST can really help with yields and overall plant size, but I am happy I'm just growing this one plant at the moment. With how dense it is it has taken lots of care and careful lead removal. Keep having a good time with the LST and happy growing! 🌱👍
structure of the plant looks to compressed and bushy ? do you think the middle and bottom flowers will reach any light or airflow?
do you think yield will be affected by this?
im just asking , congratulations btw for the grow
@@@serinboy, thanks, it really bushed up especially after the FIM. The bottom flowers will definitely stay underdeveloped and will only be good for edibles. I could have stripped more of the plant earlier but at this point the bottom nugs are still forming trichomes. The middle buds may not gain as much density as the tops but will be fine, and can always be pressed into rosin. But keep in mind in terms of yield there will be 60+ tops each with about 4-8 inches of ideal development. In terms of yield that should be higher then a plant grown without the FIM/LST.
