2) Barney's / Wedding Cake Auto / Micro

Day 78:) She's pretty much only getting PK these days as you can see. Some increased nute burn again, but nothing terrible. She really doesn't like going above 1.15 with the EC. Second time I tried it, second time it started to happen. Fine. 1.1 EC it shall be until I cut her down. It does seem, however, that giving her a good low EC flush at the end of each week helps a bunch. Yesterday, I gave her one at 0.5 and then one at 0.9, 1.2 L each. Also flipped the plant around 180 degrees. I also right now believe this helps with shaking up salt pockets in the pot. Stable runoff ECs this morning. Otherwise, buds growing nicely. Right now sticking to Day 90 harvest schedule, which means flush might start as early as the very end of this week - but I'll adjust my schedule according to what I instinctively feel the pistils and trichs are telling me, of course. One thing of note, she seems to be drinking the same amount of water every day. She isn't slowing down her water drinking any. I'm hoping to see that imminent-harvest indicator over the next couple day so that I feel better about this projected flush/harvest schedule. Day 80) Right on cue! Yesterday I got more runoff by volume than I normally get. Saw an uptick in runoff in this morning's feed as well. Seems she might be drinking less now. And I'm starting to understand the depths of the ph pen issue. Read this blog yesterday... https://blog.thermoworks.com/thermometer/ph-meter-care-and-common-mistakes/. So a ph pen is like a light bulb? They go out on you and have to be replaced constantly - like you would for a lamp? Strongest argument I've heard yet towards NOT buying an expensive ph pen ever, maybe? Unless you get one with replaceable electrodes? Also seems learning how to take care of your ph pen is really important, no matter what price you pay. Good thing about this blog is that it helps you understand HOW they work. When you now how something works it becomes much easier to know how to take care of it. So this article was special. I haven't studied it well enough yet to have it change my practices at all yet, but that will come soon. I'll study that blog religiously eventually. The smell.. I figured it out. Lemons. When you defoliate this plant with your fingers like I do, you end up with a not-so-faint smell of lemons on your hands. Delightful. Wedding Cake is a limonene strain. That's prolly why it smells like that. And she's super frosty, people. Can't wait to try me some cake! 😍😍😛 Day 82:) Pre-flush begins. Lowering ECs now with each feed. One more day to feed her. Might give her 3 feeds tomorrow at very low EC. Then start flush on Day 84 with FloraKleen. The trichs are cloudy. She looks sugar frosted all over. Strong smell. Sticky. The pistils are almost all red/orange. There are only a few white fully healthy pistils sticking straight up around the plant - usually the lower buds.. But most of the white pistils left, which are maybe 5-10% total, are curling too. There's a growing uniformity to the plant too. A week ago, the buds closest to the main cola were developing faster than the ones closer to the first node main stem. But now the lower plant seems to have caught up to the top of the plant. Good. I will keep flushing her until I have truly yellow leaves around the plant - however long it takes. I want an excellent cure with this one - hopefully. Let's get the (grassy) green out! Have a great grow day!
