Double Skywalkers

Welcome back, the SKywalkers are getting themselves nice and ready for the home stretch! Day 53 Earlier this week I flushed these plants through with about 12L of water each because they were quickly going yellow and crispy. I've noticed this happens every grow of mine around the same time and I'm quite sure that it's due to a nutrient buildup in the soil leading to lockout. In order to counter this, I'm going to start doing a series of routine flushes in my future grows to see if that has any effect. It's too late for these girls obviously, but from my next grow I will try flushing as they transition from veg to bloom and then again mid-way through flower, so effectively around about week 4-5 and again about week 7-8. It will be interesting to see if that has any effect and if it does, I should be able to keep my plants looking much healthier right up until harvest, so that will be an interesting experiment. Anyway, back to the point. I gave these girls a flush earlier this week and then returned to regular feeding from my next watering. I also did a little defoliation, taking off the worst affected leaves that were dried up and crispy. Looking good now, the buds are getting sticky and smelly and are starting to swell up nicely. It was around this time my Strawberry Banana developed Botrytis so I have made sure to keep a fan on these girls as the weather has been a little damp again, so hopefully, that will keep the air nice and flowing and ensure I don't get any more rot. almost there with these, I think, maybe another 2 weeks. they're going to be quick! Cheers!
