Hello Diary.
It has completed its sixth week of flowering, a total of 9 weeks since Watermelon sprouted.
As can be seen in the photos, most of the leaves have turned yellow and do not look pretty. The consequences are probably over-feeding at some point, plus, the harvest is approaching and the leaves get a more yellowish color.
As for the flowers, they look beautiful, have taken on a purple color and are covered with trichomes. The smell is intense.
I would like to mention that over-feeding reflected a lot on Watermelon which was not the case with her roommates Purple Punch with whom she shares “Farm”.
So I advise future growers to be more careful with adding nutrients.
Watering is every three days, I regulate or lower the p.H of water to values between 6.1 and 6.5. And I do that with every preparation of water for irrigation.
I stopped adding any additives the previous week so they get clean water.
Let’s take a look at the review of the week.
26/03/2021 - Day 59.
Watering. p.H. water I regulated to 6.4
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 32% humidity.
29/03/2021 - Day 62.
Watering. p.H - 6.3
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 36% humidity.
30/03/2021 - Day 63.
Photography. This time I didn't photograph them on a black background, I didn't want to stress them too much, I'll take detailed photos for the end anyway.
That’s it for this week, without much excitement, I’m patiently waiting for the harvest. See you soon.
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. 🙂
