Day 78 - she is growing very large
a. the buds are large, and the stigmas are very thick, begging for pollen
b. I will begin the Ripening process this week, giving some Ripen with the blend, next week will be all Ripen.
c. the nitrogen deficiency is starting happen, which I am very excited about, I want the plant to eat all the nitrogen that it can from itself, making a smoother smoke
Day 79 - growing well
a. ripening process has begun, there will be no gro or micro added moving forward, 1620ppm
b. changed the lighting to 18 on and 6 hours off to assist with maturation
Day 80 - dense buds
a. squeezed one of the smaller buds a bit, and it is very dense
b. buds are certainly growing, the plant is eating its nitrogen!!
c. removed the 2 LST ties from the limbs, she is growing naturally with enough space between the buds
d. time for FloraKleen for 2 days, then pure Ripen.
Day 81 - defoliation
a. removed some of the larger yellowing leaves that are blocking the light from the smaller buds
b. tomorrow DWC change for Ripen only! The first taste of Ripen the plant has exploded!
Day 82 - BOOM!
a. today she gets pure Ripen, 800ppm 5ml/L, and 4g/10L of mineral magic, 6.5 PH
b. the root system is so large that 10 litres of water fills a 20 litre DWC, this plant is a monster
c. the buds are getting really large, must re-tie back 2 of the fat main buds
Day 83 - def can see the Ripen effects
a. I always use Ripen, and the effects are always noticeable in a day or two, with mineral magic present the buds always smell like berry
b. she is drinking alot of water right now, maybe 4L a day
c. I am constantly removing leaves to open up the buds to more light, and to decrease humidity
d. the main cola is huge, im glad I didnt top this plant, the other mains are incredible too
Day 84 - 3 weeks left
a. while cleaning out some of the leaves, I pulled off a small bud, QWISO, still has a while to go! The oil taste great, but the effects still need a few weeks to develop further for my liking
b. the buds are monsters
c. the humidity has been a bit high in our region, glad @Fastbuds created a strain that is resistant to higher humidity!
@Ganjagrandaddy, that is some real clandestine knowledge for sure! I will add it to my toolkit! Thanks a million!! (: Luckily our environment is super clean, and the humidity is dropping fast!!!!!!
@SwissKush,as crazy as it sounds , raw milk at 20% ratio to water will kill mould spores at stem level and leave no nasties after . The milk has an enzyme that forces the mould spore to replicate WITH itself and not as another cell growth so it kills the spore by sterilising its ability to take hold. It is safe and as long as you dont keep drowning them and keeping them wet with the spray , the milk does not have time to go off and create any smell nor issues . Can leave a very light mark where contact was like a coating but wont damage anything at all and is all natural. No joke at all. Milk is a growers friend and can even benefit the soil when used in the feeds too. My 1st grow here was with breast milk as a nutrient !!!!! Add bicarb and tobacco steeped water and it is a killer for any soft bodies visitors as it suffocates them by closing their airways on contsct
@Ganjagrandaddy, Thanks SO much!!! She smells incredible! Our ventilation and fans have been going non stop, as well as about 5 trips a day to the tent to air the space out, shake the plant etc. Hoping the breeders claims to resilience is true! (: Any tips are welcome (: our box is outdoors, so using a dehumidifier cannot be done like our inside tent. We used to source hanging dehumidification bags, but since covid those are gone. Luckily the airflow around everything is great.
@Blabina, thanks a million! (: I think the reason my hydroponics always work well is A. I do not use a digital PH meter, I use chemical test always, B. I use 3% H202 to rid bacteria. C. I feed my plants the ppm levels they need in hydro, never use my ppms for soil or coco, it will wreck them.
