Week 11 // Nov 13 - Nov 19
--------------------------------------------
- Bud building and flower stacking this week!
- Smell has increased!
- Minor LST to pull the buds apart where possible.
- The ambient air in the room has dropped to 35-40% based on the cold weather settling in, which is great for the intake.
- After removing the humidifiers, I ended up putting one back in the tent. Hooked it up to the Inkbird controller to bring it up from 38% when lights are on to 46% for a better VPD target.
- Dehumidifier isnt picking up much moisture this week due to the optimial RH outside the tent and the T6 exhaust fan on 8 speed.
- I'm dropping the RH to 38% during lights off, but I have to slow down the exhaust fan speed to keep the desired RH and temp (heat produced by dehumidifier) in the tent when lights are off due to the cold temps outdoors.
- Some light defoliation for airflow, but there is one branch on Sage #2 in the back that is essentially a softball at the base of it. I'm undecided if I should pop a couple of buds off for the sake of airflow even though.... my RH is pretty dry as is. Yes...undecided.
- PH has been bouncing between 5.8 and 5.6 on its own.
- I bumped up the PPM to 950 this week as they seem to want more. I'll top out for a week then start reducing for the wind-down.
- The PPMS are dropping about 100-130 points every day.
- Top-off bucket is maintaining the water level.
- I'm still adding Orca every few days and Z9 once a week to keep the system clean.
- I am starting to notice Sage #3, which has been ahead of Sage 2 from the start, is starting to yellow. I say its attributed to fade and minor PK deficiency.
- I'll switch from AN Big bud product to the more potent Overdrive at the end of the week for helping the flowers swell up and fix the PK issue.
- Following through with my experiment of not changing water. The only water change the entire grow was when I switched to bloom nutrients. Water smells like spring salad, i haven't seen any signs of root issues, but I'll give them a good look when harvesting.
@mangolinux420, Hey thanks for the inquiry. I did not upgrade the pump on this run, and I haven't even regretted it yet. The 250 is working great for a two-site setup! Thanks for checking out my diary! Happy growing!
@Blessed_With_Knowledge, Thanks for the encouragement! I find it's the one type of training I often doubt the most. There are so many moves that can be made during the training!
good to see you back at it! totally understand the 'time being a commodity thing. starting a new NightOwl grow as well (just popped today). happy growing friend π€
@MyWeedAccount, hey friend! lol yes! at least we will get that extra hour of time next weekend! π
i just checked out what you're growing next and I'm excited to see how they turn out! I grabbed 5 packs on the Halloween drop, including the SSB but I'm fully regretting not getting the QB and may have to pick it up at the banks.
Keep keepin your grows fun!
