This grow was started in my old grow space which was a smaller PA speaker but now I’ve upgraded to a Bass Amp. I’m starting this diary late at 9weeks. The plant was only moved into this space at 5weeks. I plan to put two plants in next time. Before now I’ve only grown using CFL lamps. Because I’m in a limited space my light is in a fixed position so I lower and raise the plant instead as required.
This was when the plant was first moved to new grow space. I had to do a good bit of defoliation on week 4 as the plant was getting too big for its old space.
Things seem to be going really well and plant is looking very healthy, enjoying it’s new grow space. I’m watering every second day and giving nutrients on every feed. I water the plant until I get around 20% run off in the tray. My plan is to further reduce nutrients this week and switch to just PH’d water next week.
No major changes this week but the plant is still taking 2ltrs of water every 2nd night. I have stopped giving nutrients now so it’s just getting Ph’d water. Some of the lower leaves are turning yellow as expected. From this week on I’ll be dropping the temperature a bit during lights out to help produce more trichomes and also turn it a bit more purple.
Everything is going good. There were signs of possible light burn on the highest buds so I’ve raised the lamp by a further 5cm. Lower leaves are going yellow and starting to fall off, this means the plant is diverting resources to bud growth and letting the leaves die off. This is a good thing. Pistils are still white with only a few with tips starting to turn (not amber) a lovely orange colour. Trichomes are still mainly clear.
12 weeks old today and everything is looking really good. I think there’s around a week left maybe. Half the pistils are amber. Most trichomes are frosty now. No real sign of any amber trichomes yet.
This weekly report is two days early as I’ll be chopping tomorrow night. I’ve been checking the trichomes closely everyday and they are exactly where I want them now. I’m gonna give one more flush tomorrow morning and then put in darkness for 12 hours. I’ll be using ice cold water for this last flush. The idea is to shock the plant with cold into producing more trichomes before harvest.
