Hello Diary.
And the third week of flowering is behind me, Watermelon has begun to stagnate in growth so a height of about 70 cm is the maximum it will reach. 😎
At the end of the week I did a defoliation, I removed the lower leaves and branches and some of the leaves inside the plant itself, which were already very yellow.
I’m still not sure what is the cause of the brown spots and leaf decay. If it’s an excess of nutrients, then the conclusion is that Purple Punch (which keeps her company in the Box) is much more resistant than Watermelon.
Another possible cause is nicotine disease, because in the plant itself, there is an opening through which air enters the Box, and if there is a lot of tobacco in the room in front, it is possible. 😟
If anyone is reading this text, and has an idea of the cause of leaf decay, I ask him for advice. 🙏
The flowers develop nicely, are full of already visible trichomes and begin to take on an increasingly intense scent. Also, the flowers can be seen to turn purple. 😍
After all, everything can be seen in detail in the photos. At this stage of flowering I started doing photos on a black background, the photos are much nicer.
Regardless of the leaves, I was still adding nutrients since everything was fine with her roommates Purple Punch. This will be a test to see how much is really enough to dose them, especially since each strain reacts differently.
Here is a brief overview of the week.
04/03/2021 - Day 37.
Watering. I regulated p.H. at 6.3 with Plagron’s Lemon Kick, and added one Easy Bloom Booster tablets to a total of 7 gallons of water.
With that, I watered all three plants evenly.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.3 degrees and 41% humidity.
08/03/2021 - Day 41.
Watering. p.H. I regulated to 6.2, I added 1ml / lit CalMg and BioBizz as scheduled for the third week of flowering.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 39% humidity.
09/03/2021 - Day 42.
Defoliation and photography. I photographed the plants in the Box, to see the current condition and after that I did a defoliation. For the end, I took the final photos of the plant for the end of the 6th week.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.2 degrees and 38% humidity.
That’s it for this week, see you soon with a new report. 🙌
I had brown yellow spots too and the leaves slowly died. I had a lack of potassium because of a ph lock out. Check your runoff ph. I flushed with 2 L of water untill it was right and added worm casting on the top layer. Also 2 weeks whitout nutrients untill it was stabilized. Hope this helps. 🙂
