Day 64 and 65 (21 and 22/6/2021): 7th week of 12/12 started. I had a power cut a few days ago, when the light is off. They missed 40mn of light before I realized that something was wrong. I started everything again and set the hour on the timer.. and got a +/-10mn difference with what I'm used to. I didn't pay too much attention (the 12/12 cycle is exact) until yesterday when I waited 5 mn before the light is off to spray the Blooming H..and found the light already off 😂. So I sprayed half a liter of water + 3,75ml of blloming H, pH 6,1 with the light in the corridor on but didn't take any picture.
Same day 64: Watering for 4 plants ,2,2L/plants with Elycitor 1mg/L and Boost + 1ml/L, pH 6,4.
Day 65: Watering for 2 more plants ,2,2L/plants with Elycitor 1mg/L and Boost + 1ml/L, pH 6,4. The buds are still fattening and hopefully, it's not over.All the strains are supposed to be ready after 7 to 8 weeks of blooming and I'd better get more than 10/15 g dry/plant. I wish I could have grown less with longer veg, toping and scrog but I had no choice. We'll see.
Day 66: Watering for 9 plants today: 2,2L/plants with Elycitor 1mg/L and Boost + 1ml/L, pH 6,4.
Blooming H does its job, buds are still fattening and are now firm/solid like little rocks (well..almost !). I don't see as many trichomes than with the previous run but...gently touching the plants and my fingers are sticky fpr longer than usually. The same with smell. My fingers still smell after a few mn.
I remember that the quick kush started to flower +/- 1 week after the other strains maybe this explain a little why they don't look as generous as the quick gorilla or SBR/SBRE. For now, with the 2 Critical + 2,0,they are the ones who looks like they are going to give the less. SBR are a bit bigger than the SBRE and look like rather good yelders, the quick gorilla are doing very well, idem for the Critical freebies from Zamnesia (including the one who had a long hard start). All strains have a distinct smell and I love them all :)
Day 67:Watering for 4 plants today (3 Quicj kush and 1 Critical + 2,0): 2,2L/plants with Elycitor 1mg/L and Boost + 1ml/L, pH 6,4.
Signs of senescense appearing. I Checked the trichomes : Half transparent half milky and some very rare amber.No surprise, it's not ready yet !
T° vent down for a few days and is going to raise again no later than tomorrow to reach 32°C outside.
Day 68: Nothing today. It's autumn in the tent.
Day 69:Watering for 3 plants (2 Critical and 1 SBR): 2,2L/plants with Elycitor 1mg/L and Boost + 1ml/L, pH 6,4. The 2 Critical 2,0 + ( freebies for the purchase of the quick kush and gorilla) are ridiculous like +/- 10 g dry not for one plant but for both. I was initially expecting +/-350/400g of dry buds on this run. Well...Dream on !😰
I lowered the lamp to 48 cm and raised up the 2nd critical 2,0 + adding a pot under its pot.
Checked again trichomes on a few plants => They should be ready for the end of next week.
Day 70: I raised up a SBRE the same way than yesterday and cut (yes...) a few leaves to improve light penetration for the last week and nothing else. I just compared and yes, the buds still grew nicely during the week. One more week to figure out how I'm going to manage to harvest the 20 ladies without perfuming the whole building !
@MrHightimes, ha ok ! :) yes, let's push the limits !! About limits ( 😁), for pots, do you think that 3,6 L is enough for final size after 2,5 weeks in a 0,9 L ( veg 17+4 days and flo +/- 8 week) ??
@MrHightimes, Hi, do you mean there are maybe too many plants ? I wanted photoperiod with short flowering. They'll have only 3 weeks of 18/6 from seeds germination. 3,6 L final pot size, mostly indica => they shouldn't become monsters.
@DoDrugs420, Thank you. They say 10/30 g of dry buds plant the one bud way. so the result is quite honest but unfortunately not spectacular although, of course, I'm not crying and rather happy.
Hello there! Beautiful garden, leds are the best I think for us private personal medical growth, they promote healthy leaves and beautiful looking buds like yours!
I mean look at that flowering leaf😲 Awesome 🌟👌
@Eauderay,Hello Eauderay ! Not much experience but yes ! Plants like the leds panel 's light much much more than the MH/HPS that I used 6 months ago. And so do I. Not even talking about space gain, money saved, easier management of T° etc etc :)
I wasn't sure what to think about the flowering leaf so I made some research: It looks like they like the light and food a lot => lots of auxin production. Nothing to worry about pfffiou...!! :)
Good luck with your grow! I'm also growing SBR right now but with a different approach so am interested in seeing how your plants develop. Really excited to see that you are going to run a SOG grow as I'm considering doing that soon-ish.
