Day 51: So today is my usual watering day but decided that I can do it in the evening instead of the morning. How wrong I was, blue dream at the back was deeply unhappy with that idea. I came to water and shed dropped like crazy. The other BD was ready eventhough she wasnt due until tomorrow, I feel as though I may have gotten a little complacent with the 3 day water. I'll be checking after 2 days now as I dont even bother to lift the pots to check. All back to normal after watering. (Watered plain PH 6.3 water)
Photos arent quite as good tonight as I was rushing as my phone was going to die. Will get some better ones today
Lastly, a big thanks to marshydro for sending me the tsw-2000! Girls are looking awesome under it ๐๐ Super easy to install, I've left at the same hight and set the brightness to about 50%. Using my cheap light measure it's a little more than what they were getting before. I'm getting a much better coverage with the tsw-2000 than what I had with the 2x viparspectra P1000s. I'm really happy with the light already, I'm sure the girls are going to love it just as much as I ๐.
Day 52: all is good! Girls aren't dropping an hour before lights out so I have increased the light to 65%. Really good sign, maybe they like the mars light spectrum a little more than the VS.
Checked on weight of the pot today, still feels real heavy.. I'll be shocked if I need to water tomorrow, maybe it was just a one off as it has been a little warm. We shall see tomorrow!
Day 55: the older blue dream is showing a pretty heavy P deficiency. This is likely due to my laziness.. I've been feeding her the same as the others even though she looked like she could take some more nutes. Fed them all today
4L ph 6.4 530ppm
1ml/L big bud & bloom B
0.5ml/L b52
0.25ml/L cal mag
Bads are starting to put on weight and pistils are browning a little roughly 30-40% are browning. Getting closer to harvest ๐
Day 58: watered 4L plain Ph 6.4 (All)
Small defoliation of all 3 plants, increasing light penetration and airflow to the bud sites. Pistils are mostly brown, I'm going to start the flush and keep an eye on the trichomes! Time to get out the microscope for the next update ๐
Thanks for stopping by! ๐๐
@Fast_Buds, cheers! I loved every second of it! Thanks for creating such awesome genetics! Super excited for my next harvest! (Purple punch, LSD-25 and bruce banner!) ๐๐
@Bikerwolf, definitely in the same category, you can get way more F'ed up on alcohol than weed. Even some harder drugs. It's silly really. The only think I'd say weed could be really dangerous is if you're stoned out of your brains driving a car. But that still doesn't compare to alcohol.
Hahaha that's so true! Definitely the worst thing is being caught with it ๐๐
@InspireMe, Agree 100% with this. If alcohol was 'invented' today, it would surely be put in the same harm category as other hard drugs. Was it Bill Murray who said that the most dangerous thing about weed is being caught with it?
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, I looked.. it seems to be only big pharma that can get them ๐ญ๐.. hopefully that will all change. Afterall weed is safer than alcohol by a mile. (In my opinion!)
Looking good. Why do you think you have a little to much nitrogen?
Is it because the tips have browned a little?
That is perfectly normal going into flower. I don't see any pistol reddening or browning early and no leaf claw. I would say your on a good grow path right now.
@InspireMe, ec in soil can be much higher then soiless before you start seeing problems. But I live by less is best. Underfed and you still get huge nugs. Overfed and not so much, plants suffer. Just read your girls...
@GMSgrows, thanks bro I will try that and see how they get on. Probably become a lot healthier, I was paranoid about them being hungry at the start, or lacking cal mag so just kept feeding lightly and made sure to have plenty of runoff to prevent buildup. Will I have to double my feed if I'm going to do it that way?
@Faegrows, thank you! Yes its 3 plants in one tent... a little crowded ๐๐... I nearly did 4! That would have been bad ๐.. I feed 4L every 3 days, they're pretty thirsty haha, obviously that includes the runoff amount. I get a fair amount running out to make sure I dont get any buildup
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
Please feel free to check out/show love on some of my recent grows (Tropicana cookiez/Venom OG/Banana Mango/Blueberry Muffin )
Alsoโฆ I have a lots of growing tips on my profile page (comments section)
Looking good...buds fattening up well. It can be tricky to get clear trichome pics...as you say, the microscope and the plant need to be completely still. The trichomes in the first picture look fairly cloudy and you've got a good proportion of brown pistils, so you're not too far from harvest now. Are you going to start a flush now?
@Bikerwolf, lmao my mrs has already had me take 2 "samples" I've taken 2 colas already lmao.. kept it on the DL though haha. I said no, so many times but each time she offered explicit things so I chopped the poor BD at the back ๐.. shes at it again.. she wants me to harvest the whole plant already.. she isnt as good as the other two.. I suspect the stunting did actually play a factor in that, but despite missing 2 colas shes doing well ๐
@Bikerwolf, cheers mate! Yeah it was a little tricky! I turned off my intake and my fan and it was still shaking like crazy haha.. maybe I had too much caffeine this morning ๐
Yeah man, I agree its flush time! I started on my last watering. Super excited, they smell amazing. My mrs is trying to get me to chop the back BD already ๐... temptation is high ๐
