Week 9 was pretty exciting, with an increased water uptake and steady (if not slow) bud growth/ripening. The trichomes are around 15-20% cloudy, so there's still some at least 10-14 days left before harvest. No signs of stress beyond the phosphorous problem from a few weeks ago, and scaling back the CalMag dosage seems to have helped with some nutrient absorbtion/utilization. I'll be checking the trichomes daily from here on out. I did try out a tester nug during Week 9 and experienced the euphoric effects that people associate with Sour Stomper, but there didn't seem to be much from the GSC side of things. I'm hoping to harvest a bit early (75-80% cloudy) to prevent any narcotic effect, and I was really impressed with the plant's potential after the small sample.
👉🏽Day 64 (1/31): Another top-off near the beginning of the light cycle (11:30 p.m.). It seems like the water uptake is slowing down a bit. Had a larger than expected defoliation session, removing about eight leaves. The plant responded well. . . .
👉🏽Day 68(2/4): The now-regular three days before reservoir top-off has grown to four days, and I'm hoping the plant is rounding the corner and poised to finish soon--already anxious to begin the next run! Seems like the bud growth has slowed a bit. Smelling more like grape soda with a little fuel in the background.
Next reservoir fill: Sensi Bloom A&B (2 ml/gal), CalMag (.95 ml/gal), Carboload (3.8 ml/gal), Overdrive (2 ml/gal), Mammoth P, and Orca.
Thanks for dropping by! 🖖🏽🌿
3gal your going to fill more during flower they drink alot try an auto fill system if your gone for a long time...worth the money. I do 6gal with refill and it's great.
@Mr420, I heard that they get thirsty during flower, and I think you're right. May actually try four 3 gallons with the auto-fill and scrog to get four autos in my 2x4. I'm becoming an Octopot believer! 😎
