Blue Ox

04 Aug 2021 Today starts week 17 of this grow, and it appears that it may be the only entry I add before harvesting this little plant. I’ve been flushing the plant since July 22nd, and I believe I’ve reached the end!! 🎉🎊🍾🍀 Today she got some chilled water just because I fell into an old habit, and wasn’t thinking when I filled the gallon up and put it in the fridge. 🤷‍♂️ it’s the last time, so whatever. The water was 52.3F, with an initial pH of 7.5. I added 10 gtts (.5ml) of pH DOWN to adjust the pH to 6.5. The TDS going in was 65 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.8, and TDS runoff was 573 ppm. The drop in TDS from the flush was quite significant. I’ve been getting reductions of >200+ ppm, but today it was a drop of just 82 ppm. I harvested my DarkStar Kush when the TDS runoff got down to 530 ppm, and my Blueberry Muffin at 484 ppm, so I believe that 573 ppm is low enough. I am going to let her drink up all the water she got today, then I’m going to harvest her! I’ve had some terrible things to say about this little plant, but today I sat and just looked at her buds for a few minutes. They’re awesome!! I’ve been complaining for weeks about her leaves looking like crap, but in reality, she’s not a very leafy plant. She has HUGE, dense buds that are actually quite lovely to look at! I took some more trichome pics today for this weeks log entry since it’s going to be her last till harvest. My personal bud supply is incredible right now, and I’m about to add my 3rd separate strain to my own catalog. I LOVE growing weed!!
