1/3 branches were cut, natural light has me constantly paying attention to the energy levels of the powerful sun and persuasive clouds and rain. My hopes is the bud pictured was carefully selected for terpene hues. and assuming the other branches will be able to acquire a greater amount of energy and nutrients / water. I stopped the fox farm and did a few days of water only. My pH had been under prioritized so many days the plant was fed water / nutrients later measured at pH4.5. Boiled water was fed (at room temps) but the boiled tap water reads at 8+ pH and only less than 2ml for tiger bloom had stopped down the pH to 6 in a 3 L container of water. Where as before 4L of water at pH 6.5 was stopped down to 4.5 with 15+ml/4L. So the tap water was only applied one week and I don't think I will use city tap water again. also lots of yellow fan leaf. Not exactly sure, over feeding a bit on purpose, extreme temp change approx 9c at night with moisture and up to 39c at noon. and the boiled tap water, so three things to consider about yellow leaves.
verification- out of the last 13 4L bottled water 3 was straight 6.5 pH and the other 11 4L bottle was spring water at 8+pH with 2 4L bottles boiled tap water at room temp = 8+pH. so the fact of feeding the plants pH 4.5 occured on 4 of the last 13 4L portions of water + nutrients. so over all the pH was not too acidic. Would be nice to have the soil pH measure, but for now the pH water drops show the color of acid - alkaline levels and thats great to know.
week 15 - fall equinox already passed, i cant recall over 5 days straight sun, too many coulds, not enough days 30c or above, but hot enough in grow space. For sure my personal study on urban growing specialty plants in "available" light will be a challenge, following any photosynthesis chart the plant without constant light energy will not feed on schedule and cycles will overlap so to say. most interesting observation is how Headband (auto grow) and Red Dragon (not quite auto grow) both produced smell and the stringy buds the exact same time. side by side might be pretty special. i estimate a harvest in 17 days, testing a heater below 9c.
She still looks young.. Those white hairs should change color. To.. like an orangish reddish color .. The # of weeks isn't a guarantee just a general time.. Harvest you watch the crystals when they go from milky white to. Amber color then its ready.. 20% amber 80%milky is what i like..
