Week Six!
We'll start this off by saying... "Nanners"... Yep, I found a couple of nanners just starting to stick out...๐ก Now, they are only on one of my tunas... The big tall girl, BT#1. I believe they came from a combination of heat and light stress. There was one day the temps hit 28C... and with BT#1 that close to the lights... pretty sure that's the cause. BT#2 is growing great with zero nanners.
I gloved up, sterilized the tweezers, and careful plucked the nanners and got them as far as way from the all the girls... hopefully nothing got in the air and I end up with seeds...๐บ
Temps: Staying good at 25C... expect that one day of 28C.
Humidity: Still up and down... ranges from 23% to 39%...
Watering: Ba-Bam!!! The girls increased their water intake this week!๐ BT#1 drank 14 Litres, while BT#2 drank 12 litres of water. Mid-week, I gave them a treat by mixing Blackstrap Molasses with one of their waterings... actually, it's for the soil, but the girls benefit for it as well.๐ 2 Tbsp (30ml) of BSM to 1 gallon (4 L) of water.
Defoliation: I hesitated on giving BT#1 a defoli... I didn't want to add any more stress to her, but there were a lot of big fan leaves that were taking up way to much energy. The Big Tuna's life span is about 60 - 65 days, and I like to give one more defoliation before the last 2-3 weeks... so both girls got stripped!๐
Bud sites are fairly tight, not overly large, but each one should hold some weight. They still have a sweet smell when you rub their terps... just not sure on the over all smell. I'll figure it out next week. ๐
That is all...
Happy Nanner Hunting! ๐๐ฒ๐
