She has been stacking up the buds nicely. The buds are swelling and they're packing lots of trichomes. Lots of defoliation has been done this week, up and down and in the middle...
@Nickeluring,
I love using coco coir.. but I only water about once to MAYBE twice a day.. I still have to water, feed, water, feed, etc... so with the drip system you dont have to worry about the waterings in between because you're constantly flushing the old nutes out.. is that correct? I believe I still get subpar results with the water, feed, water, feed method.. but I feel it could still be better lol.. and its just drain to waste.. right?
Looks great man. This stage 73 is a little bit cool with lights on id aim for around 77. Now their finished the vertical growth we want that more than 10 degree swing between lights on and lights off, Instead of signaling them to stretch at this stage it will send more energy into the budding process and resin production. Looks like you have already begun to do that so great work with that man. We have just found from experience buds formed at 77 for lights on temps will be the best combo of size and density, Anything too cool and we will sacrafice a lot of the size. Buds developed at over 80-82 will be very huge but airy and prone to fox tail. It is about finding the best combo that works for you! Keep up the great work man very nice grow.

Damn growmie these girls look amazing! I'm growing Biscotti Mintz too and from what I've heard, she won't disappoint us my guy. Best of luck π½ππͺ
Hey friend, Lovely looking tent. If I may offer some pointers I would suggest getting those temps up for sure. They are a little on the cold side for this stage of growth. Cannabis plants love heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. For veg & early flower warmer temps of low 80's and no more than 9 degrees less when the lights are off will result in much more vigorous growth. Before the plants finish growing vertically by weeks 4 or 6 of flower depending on strain we like to keep the temp gaps within 9 degrees. If we go beyond that it will signal the plants to stretch. Once they are done growing vertically opening up that temp gap beyond 10 degrees will instead send signals to the plants to chunk up and form nice tight buds & also produce more resin.
Keep up the great work man, If you have the time check out my 200 light 7,000 plant diary & follow my profile. If you ever have any questions please do not hesitate to ask! Happy growing
Cheers mate, thanks for the info. We're a bit cold here during winter since the houses here don't have any insulation. Soon we get summer and then I'll get some insanely hot temperatures instead to make up for the cold winters. π Best time of the year for me to grow is spring or autumn when we have some decent temperatures. Summer and winter I have to accept the conditions not being that great. It would be too expensive for me to get the temperatures right during these seasons.
