Day 42 / Week 6 Flower begins today -
22/12/2021.
EC - EC has been a little high, rising to as high as 1.9 overnight after approx 16hrs since last feed. Inflow is 1.3 and will probably remain there or even be backed off slightly to 1.2 until the plants show they require more as if it keeps rising I will have to lower the EC slightly. I believe it is the Ultimate PK sending the EC higher as that is the only thing that has changed. Still giving less than half of what mills suggest and the girls donβt seem to mind, if anything they are getting slightly overfed as above suggests.
Multifeeding - I am currently feeding every 4 hours, 2 hours after lights on and 2 hours before lights off for a total for 3 x per day, 2l per plant per feed. Always with 20% or greater runoff.
Defoliation - I am still only removing about 7-10 leaves per plant every 4 or 5 days if they are beginning to cover or shade bud sites below. If they are not causing issues, I wonβt remove them as I donβt want to cause any unnecessary stress at this stage.
βLSTβ - The string is still attached from the βLSTβ, it does not seem to be affecting the plant and is keeping centre of the plants exposed pretty well so Iβm trying to just keep the string on. As the weeks go on, if the branches require support instead of tying down, I will tie them up the frame of the tent probably.
Both girls buds are beginning to fatten up, especially along the main branches are becoming more developed and more colours are coming on MOP 2 which is the more purple and prettier of the two phenos (for now). Even the lower stuff on both girls is a lot larger than the last time so Iβm happy already as Iβd imagine the tops will be even larger and there is still approx 3 weeks / 21 days remaining.
Canβt wait to see how much more these progress in the coming weeks.

Looking amazing buds my friend βοΈ my next grows definitely going to be more uniformed bro they'll be given of a beautiful citrus smell ππ staying tuned bro take care m8πβοΈπ
Weβll bro your plants look way better than mine so Iβll admit that. Your setup looks a lot more preplanned than mine as well. Iβm hoping next run looks like this but not gonna get discouraged if it doesnβt. Will be doing indoor and outdoor harvest all throughout next year. Havenβt been able to grow up until now and Iβm 31. Keep doing what youβre doing though cause it looks like you got some fire here lol
@dober151, honestly mate I havenβt a clue. Iβm not sure if my timer was playing up, too much stress, over feeding from day 1 etc. Barneys is pretty reputable Iβd imagine so think I just pushed em too far really mate haha. Not something Iβd say is easily done haha but hey long as ya learn from it! Yeah Iβve heard bagseeds are more prone too! Wishing you all the best bro ππ»π€π»π
@CocoTheClown,
What do you think caused them to hermie? Genetics? I had a bunch turn male and one hermie. It was bagseed so I figured that could happen but I know I stressed them out too which didnβt help in the least
@dober151, exactly mate, weβre all here learning anyway gotta learn as you go pal! My last run hermied hence these two in a pinch, but the next run should be 4-5 of these! As long as your enjoying the growing mate thatβs the main thing! π this is only my 1st ( technically 2nd ) grow and Iβm not too far away from you in terms of age lol gotta start somewhere! Thanks man I appreciate it! ππ»π€π»π
Bro they're coming on lovely now m8, π lovely purple hues coming on the girls, you're going to get some big yield in a couple more weeks there bro, you deserve it pal you've waited long enough. I would definitely give them 8-9 weeks about 75-80 days that's what I would have done bro but an emergency situation came up bro if you know what I mean π so had to chop the girls down at week 8 day 59 was gutted pal didn't even have time to flush them bro, so the buds taste harsh in a bong π€« not to bad in a j like. Wish you nothing but good luck bro, can't wait to see the end results bro, watching eagerly my friend all the best to you and yours pal ππππ¬π§.
@Collinsy74, hereβs the link mate, their obvs using a drip system but I just did the same thing but hand watering! > https://www.icmag.com/forum/marijuana-growing/growing-in-coco-coir/240496-a-few-things-that-i-ve-learned-about-growing-in-coco-with-a-drip-systm-dtw
@Collinsy74, nah mate Iβm doing hand watering, 3 x per day once into late flower and Iβm loving the results treating the coco as close to hydro as I can. If you google βicmag multifeeding coco, a few things Iβve learnedβ thereβs a big older article mate and this run seems to be following what theirs did so must be working! Itβs a pain feeding 3 x per day Iβm just hoping come harvest day it pays off! π€π»π
@CannbellFarms, honestly mate itβs my first grow, but the Gavita has done above and beyond from other grows Iβve seen. If you check out my previous diary, the veg growth is crazy under the Gavita, this run was vegged under a 300w so not as vigorous but still happy! Hoping the harvest is as amazing as the veg growth but Iβll keep ya posted! π defo the best light Iβve seen ( as a novice) lol. ππ»π
@CocoTheClown,I bet man hahah, how are you liking the Gavita by the way? Looking at upgrading at some point to either Luxx or Lumatek, loving the drainage MacGyver also hahahah
Great trainingπ
Clean glow roomπ
I think your grow lights will definitely make powerful and huge buds!
I use the same grow lights and was amazed at the tremendous yield!
@CocoTheClown,
Yes, I used Gavita1700e in my last runπ
I am very pleased with the yield, which exceeded my expectationsπ
I hope your grow this time will be great!π
@@bon_gg, appreciate that mate ππ» Iβm hoping so! π did you use the Gavita 1700e the last run? You got one hell of a yield! ππ»π€π»π
How did you manage to get the stalks that large so quickly? I was doing photos, then autos for a while, and now moving back to photos so I can play with my clones. I am ready to grow a beast! Just popped 3 blueberry muffin x watermelon from Humbolt Seed Company non fem. Hopefully one will turn out a nice big female!
@VT__Homegrown_Fun, Iβll be honest with ya mate, I think itβs purely a mix of the light, genetics, medium and feed in using.
This is my first grow ( I have a diary before take a look at the stems on that too, that was my true first grow) and I have been feeding twice a day since like week 2 in veg in 70/30 coco perlite mix with the Mills Nutrient full range, Iβm using half the base nutes mills tell me too, but never had an issue with deficiency or EC in this run. Both of the grows had huge storks like that, I dunno if it something Iβm doing due to being a novice but if it is i ainβt aware of it π
All the best bro hoping for all females for you! That strain sounds dank! These were only vegged 5 weeks with a 300w on like 50% dimmed so yeah lol youβll smash it bro π€π»ππ»π
@Ju_Bps, thanks mate!
Nope these two were vegged and with 4 others which were later killed, under a 300w at 60% so could have been better lol. Not too long mate really!
Thanks mate same to you! ππ»π€π»π
@Collinsy74, definitely mate gonna take me months to smoke all this hopefully π get in mate canβt wait! Iβll keep you posted bro π€π»ππ»ππ¬π§
