Nov 17 (day 78): Start of week 12. Looking much better and healthy, fattening buds with more trichomes and resin. I was watching a YouTube video last night which was talking about how much to water your plants. They mentioned that if you don't water enough, then the plants can get nute burn because they cant absorb the nutrients as they are too dry. So I think all the issues I went through a couple of weeks back were all down to underwatering and they caused nute burn as well. I will never know for sure, but I am pretty sure thats the mystery solved and lesson well and truly learned!
Nov 18 (day 79): All looking good. Humidity is keeping within the right range now that I am using the syringe to remove excess water from the tray and not spilling it in the greenhouse ๐
Nov 19 (day 80): Looking good and healthy.
Nov 20 (day 81): Still looking very well and continuing to fatten up her buds. Took more photos with the microscope. First signs of some trichomes beginning to transition to cloudy on the bigger buds, but majority fully clear. Have decided to feed 1L less as I am getting about 1.5L run off in the tray. Fed with 5L of water and week 8 of the nute schedule, microbes and Calmag. Got less run off, around 0.5L.
Nov 21 (day 82): Looking good and healthy.
Nov 22 (day 83): I have now finished drying Ophelia and Wendy, so I am moving Orla and Wanda into the grow tent indoors. It's beginning to get very smelly in the greenhouse with just the two plants and I am nearly out of my second tub of odour control gel. To save buying more, I may as well move them into my new tent with the extractor fan. Also means I can try out my new Spider Farmer 400W light for the last few weeks and see if I can get those buds any fatter ๐ Its also getting really cold and snow is forecast. Temperatures are dropping to below freezing now and the heater is having to work really hard to keep the temperature at 22C even though I have the thermostat set to 24C. Will also save me going out to the greenhouse in freezing temperatures and just down into the cellar instead. She's looking good today, so let's hope the last few weeks in the tent continue to keep her that way.
Nov 23 (day 84): End of week 12. Wow its pretty hot in the tent with that new light! Damn, its hitting 29-30C when the light is on. I have a mini fan in the tent and have now added a tower fan as well, so will see if that makes a difference. All in all a good week and lots of bud growth.
NOTE: Nutrient amount is the total amount of nutes given during the week.
Anybody know what this is at the top of my bud?! Looks like a flower?! Got so many new white pistils all over which is surprising this late into flower?! Is this why she is called white widow? ๐ค
@KingSalomonsWeed, Ah I see what you mean. Yes, I think I will move it closer, but the issue is that she shares a light with Ophelia and she is a bit taller. I'm worried if I lower it too much, it will burn the top of Ophelia. I had made a note that it should be 18 inches (45cm) above the canopy at this stage. I will lower it later, thank you!
@greenhousegrowgirl, Hi, i mean that you can put down your lamp, if possible. Because the plant than becomes more energy. I mean 30 cm is full ok on an LED light.
No probs with the brown leaves. This should be old leaves. Let them on until the plant soaked them complete brown.
Ahh and more water. You cant get root putrifaction in this air pot. Give em till they drain. Use plastik bags for saucer.
They drink more than you thought.
Overall good work.
@greenhousegrowgirl,
Hi, your Ophelia is good to go for another two weeks. She has to turn the trichomes looking down also to be milky. Btw. First glasy than milky than bigger milky, golden, amber.
You use great BioBizz products. Chill you don't need to flush.
Bio means that the plant can only can use what the soil gives her.
Just give her water. And the upper buds will first ripe, than it will go down. You have the time.... ๐ WONDERFULL PLANTS
@KingSalomonsWeed, ๐๐๐ lucky you! I have run out and won't have any until these babies are ready! Please can you take a look at my 'Ophelia' diary and let me know what you think of my new trichome photos? Do you think I am flushing at the right time with a view to harvest this weekend? The trichomes look part clear, part cloudy to me ๐
