Hello Growmies! Welcome to Week 3 of flower of Stracciatella in a bucket!
this week the plant continued her stretching, received aggressive defoliation and finally showed sex! I'm hoping to see the beginning of buds soon.
I cleaned up her entire skirt, big leaves that were essentially just sucking up energy, small nodes that would never have grown to anything etc, when I do this I usually leave a few ugly big, energy sucking leaves, my reasoning behind this is if the plant struggles from a mobile deficiency, it will pull those nutrients its deficient from these bigger leaves, indicating me that there is a problem, without and before the sugar leaves getting hit. that's the theory anyway
aside from stretching I also messed up the light schedule a couple of times this week, at one point in the dark cycle the light came on for 20 minutes, and then last night I left the tent open during dark cycle for 6 hours, hopefully this won't cause the plant to reveg, or delay her flowering
I'll be keeping my eye out for any possible hermies.
@Canna96, Using a Samsung Galaxy s20. it has a wide angle lens for close ups, I oddly prefer it to a jewellers loupe or a Microscope for checking trichomes :)
Great job taming that female so far!!!
Nice canopy coverage.. she is looking really healthy aswell :D
Seems like she took some time to transition to flower, the buds are a bit underdeveloped for week 4 of flower, I am surprised she already has resin coverage, looking like she might turn out special :D
Good luck with the rest of the grow m8!
@BelgianBudtender,
Nice!
Good that she is not showing hermie signs... I had that too often in my past year of DWC grows with heavy defoliations...
In DWC with green sensation I used to put around 1/3 of the dosage, not more than 1/2, and I would give it starting around day 21 of flower -> basically when they are done stretching. I guess in DWC the dosage also depends on how much small air bubbles you pump in the water, the more air the more nutrients they can take up I think, anyway if you passed the first 3 weeks of flower and don't notice much stretch I would definitely add green sensation and if you want to be careful just start at low dosage e.g. 0.2ml/L
@Slurpy_Terpy, Yup I noticed that, too. I did have some slip ups in the first or second week of flower, I wonder if that caused the delayed flowering, or if its just the strain its a 9 week finisher, not a lot of diaries out there to compare to. I'm keeping a vigilant eye for any bananas or hermies, but so far I seem to have dodged that bullet.
that or I should've started adding PK sooner, either way, I'm running 1 Ml/l of Plagron Green sensation now in week 5 so she'll have plenty, The plant has also been completely stripped of the overgrown and shaded foliage so there's little other places aside from buds for her to focus her energy on now :P
Hi! Looking good but really cannot see buds very well, maybe you can take some pics after light off with flash? Always looks so much betrer and trichomes are more visible...
Even when leds on with a flash gives better pics too.
Anyway all the best fellow Gardener!
Hello there! Thank you for sharing your time lapse video, I love to watch those!
That is when you truly see in fact those are not only leafs but wings too!
Yes the heat can stunt them... if you have the chance to move your grow to a better cooler place I would do it especially with hydro water might be too warm, do you use hydrogen peroxide in your system? You can use some ozone too and rinse those tubing, it helps getting rid of gunk, and a weaker solution passed through to roots also helps keeping them white and fresh...
All the best for this week!
