This weeks weather has been mostly overcast with an average temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 80% average humidity. It has been cooler but with stagnant air. Almost no wind, or very light breezes during this week.
After a rain during the night, I find a few spots here and there of what I believe to be powdery mildew where the leaves overlap and trap water. I removed the leaves that had it, although I know this is not how you prevent this issue. I just hope it doesn’t become an issue in the buds. Now, in the morning when there is condensation on the leaves, I direct a box fan into the canopy of the largest GSCE to get airflow through.
Still getting some yellow leaves, so I defoliated the yellowing leaves on all.
Seeing some purple edging starting on the GCSE 1. Eddie is also showing slight purpling stems on the fan leaves.
8/21- watered with collected rain water mixed with Tiger Bloom. To Ph range 6.5-7, and at 1220 ppm.
8/22- I top dressed with compost from my bin, and wood ash from my fire pit.
Scent: distinguishing smells is a very exciting part of a grow for me. I will be recording how the smells change throughout flowering.
GSCE 1 (the largest) is beginning to show trichomes on its sugar leaves.
Scent is sweet, and tart like smelling into a bag of sour gummy worms. Also, a bold scent of citrusy bitterness like the white part of lemon rinds.
The other two GSCEs are sweet smelling, but not as complex yet. More “green” and younger smelling..
Eddie- Scent is still peppery and meaty. Like salami. Also a “green” scent still. It does have a familiar sharpness to it… hard to put my finger on… so I side-by side compared it to the rubber tires on my car, and it’s very similar. Not sweet. More spicy and sharp.
Very unique so far and no trichome production yet.
On to another week!
