Classics & Kush

Greetings comrades in horticulture, I hope you are all well and had a nice time over the christmas period if you celebrate such things! The stretch begins for some of these ladies and pre-flowers are already visible - a very quick response from these girls to the change in photoperiod. Lights are now at 60%, and will be increased ~10% each week until we reach full power. The wardrobe is very full and I am worried about the possibilities of bud rot later in flowering. I am weighing up doing some main-lining and defoliation to help with the airflow. I did fuck up once this week - I had turn turn off the power to the wardrobe to do a bit of cleaning and as I took a phone call at the same time, I completley forgot to turn the power back on. The girls spent pretty much a full day in darkness, before I realised my mistake a few hours before lights out. I worry about photoperiod mistakes with feminized seeds - they're probably a lot more stable these days in terms of producing hermaphrodites, but the risk always remains. Last week's feed has turned in to this week's nutrient burn, so food was reduced to .5ml/l on average. Overall I was too hasty in providing feed - I should really have started the feed this week I feel. The compost I use is described as a "medium strength", but I am once again surprised by how much nitrogen it seems to contain! Thanks for reading, see you next week!
