4/25. Day 56.
Yesterday GC got a nice pruning. Everything on the lower half is trimmed off as well as all the scrub in the center tier. Pulled a few mid sized fan leaf to clear top bud sites. Finished the LST, evening up the spacing and height of the canopy. Should be structurally good to flower now. She's still eating up N, but I'm happy with her color now and she won't be needing as much. Tops are setting up real nice, let the bloom begin! She drinks about a half gallon a day, Mild recharge water then Earth Juice 5 part plus Cal Mag and heavy N. Also did some top dressing with Bone meal and worm casings today.
WR is a tank. Just water and mild Recharge, about a quart a day. Trichs are about 25% clear, 75% milky. Her flowers are noticably bulkier every day. I think she would have been fine in a two gallon pot.
4/27. Day 58.
Since switching to 16 hours, GC does not look as tired, droopy at the end of her day. Gonna stick to it since she is the queen of the tent now.
The Northern Lights, not part of this diary, is finishing up in the window. She had a rough life. Still gonna get about 1.5 zips though. Letting the trichs cloud up now.
WR still beefing up and ripening. Might have to do a flush. We'll see in a few days.
4/28. Day 59 .
WR got a 9 gallon flush today. PH of the first water to run off was 6.5. Lime and Microbs doing their thing well.
Trimmed out the discolored fan leaf and some bud leaf. She's getting mouth watering sweet!π
She did not need the full strength nutrients. 50% after 5 weeks next time.
I am using the Earth Juice 5 part recipe, plus cal-mag as well as dolomite lime and microbes, after 4 weeks in the Happy Frog mix I use.
This was not enough for GC though. She is finally nice and lush after N heavy feedings for the last 2 weeks. Tops filling in fast. There are about 8 that will be top tier and over 30 second tier tops. My goal is to keep them all within 8 inches of each other. More pruning to come.
4/30. Day 61.
Yesterday I redirected the fans to WR, help her dry out a bit after her flush. Switched both fan timers to "on" . She looks great today, getting juicier, riper. Sexy photo-shoot today!π So stickyπ
Been messing around with different cameras, as you can see from the photos. I wanna capture the essence of these girls, so I'll be workin' on that.
GC got another trim. I took some umbrella leaf, the flowers don't need hats.π Exposed all the buds. This girl is very leafy, and loaded with bud sites. Needs some extra attention and I'm all in!
