End of Week 6
Added CO2 with regulator and controller!
Added the trellis net to spread out the canopy and get more even light to bud sites.
The ladies have lost some momentum and they're drinking less because of the pest issue. Although they should be growing faster because of the CO2 supplementation I'm sure when the thrips are gone they will explode.
I also performed some HST by removing fan leaves and softly pinching and bending some of the stems to open up the canopy whilst keeping the stress at a minimal.
Pest Report:
Still fighting the thrips...
Every time I spray Bio-Insek and Xterminator (Agro-Organics) it deals with the problem for a few days until the eggs and larvae that the thrips left behind hatch and start munching on the plants again. The ladies are strong and healthy and get a slight wilt when I haven't sprayed IPM for a few days this tells me that its not a major issue but I need to get rid of them especially because I want to flip to flower soon.
It seems that the problem is under control. Now I will apply it weekly to make sure those buggers are ELIMINATED.
You did a wonderful job bro, prime health, i was wondering if I should keep my humidity lower to avoid pm or other problems but as I can see it doesn’t hurt the trichomes production at all 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Really nice 👍🏼
@Hazeterpz, definitely always a good idea to lower the humidity during flowering I have read that it does increase terpene production and also avoids mildew and other issues like bud-rot etc.
Yup my slurricane is prone to thrips as well.
Looks like your pheno is similar to mine, short and stocky with nice stacking. Took 3 clones the other day cause I don't wanna lose out on this strain, i might take one to make seeds.
