Tremendous growth since day 22. Nutes twice with watering this week. Turned all three lights to 100% on day 22.
Noticed stigmas on all four plants on day 30
Had three lights in tent from day 22 to 32: (2) Vivosun VS 1000 and (1) VS 2000. Day 32, noticed a tiny bit of light burn with tiny yellow tips on new growth at the top of two of the four plants, so I removed the larger light on day 32 and will continue with (2) VS 1000 run at 75% for a while. Defoliated 2 or 3 large fan leaves from each plant.
Day 35 Noticed true flowers on 3 of 4 plants. Turned lights up to 100%. 5 or 6 large leaves removed from each during past week. Increased nutes for two feedings during this past week. Photos and video from day 36. Noticed brown spots and tip burn Day 38 on some leaves mid plant on BB2 and GG2. I'm guessing start of Potassium lock out because of too much Cal mag. Flushed all 4 with one gallon each of 6.5 ph water on Day 38 and removed all LST. By Day 40 all new growth was healthy and all were growing quickly. Defoliated BB2 of 8 large fan leaves and a few on the others.
Since increasing nutrients, including Cal-Mag, noticed brown spots and curled tips on some older leaves midplant. Guessing I have a Potassium lockout because of too much Calcium. See photos. Any thoughts?
I wouldn't worry 2 much about it. Just start lowering your grow nutes as she is going into flower and increasing your bloom, keep cal mag at a low dose. Good luck.
Growing rapidly from day 36 to 43. BB1 is very bushy and compact. GG2 has the most stretch in the last 2 weeks. Defol 9 leaves twice in a week for BB1. All others just once. Saw some deficiencies on two plants day 38. Guessing too much Cal Mag caused Potassium lock out. Flushed all 4 with 1.5 gallons of PH 6.5 water. Half gallon Nute water to each, minus Cal Mag on day 42.
I believe there is a Calcium deficiency in one of two Bruce Banners and one of two Gorilla Glues. All four plants have received the same amount of nutrients. Some of the newer growth on both deficient plants seems healthier with increase of Cal Mag for the last two weeks. ???
Looks like some calcium maybe but also phosphorus deficiency with the marginal chlorosis going on there.
Could be lock out also, you have to be checking pH with FF nutes, the tiger bloom drops pH value considerably.
Be careful with FF nutes in general their schedule is over dosed. If you just started feeding more, they may not be liking that.
BB2 and GG2 seem to be about a week ahead of the other two. Those two showed the deficiencies. Seems to have quite a few bud sites. About the same watering and fertilizer routine as previous week.
BB2 and GG2 showing widely scattered amber trichomes on the main cola mostly. Neither tent has a strong smell yet. Not the most fragrant strains, from what I'm reading. Learning to use my USB microscope for trichome pictures. Difficult to hold steady for good pics in the tent. Don't want to pull pots out anymore. Tips for better trichomes pics would be greatly appreciated!
Getting near the end. BB2 and GG2 showing mostly milky/ cloudy trichomes with some amber. These two showed the deficiencies and have been flushed on day 76. One more flush and they will be harvested first. BB1 and GG1 look to be about a week later.
Harvested BB2 and GG2 on day 84 with mostly cloudy/milky trichomes and scattered amber because I prefer the Sativa daytime buzz. I think these two are further along because they showed the deficiencies. Both were flushed twice within a week and chopped with a dry pot. Last nutrients were day 73. Nothing but PH 6.4 water since day 76. I expect to harvest BB1 and GG1 at around day 92, checking trichomes everyday. I'm guessing the yield will be greater for the second two. Will post harvest pics and videos for each set of two plants after drying and getting dry weights for each plant.
Day 95 harvest of last 2 of 4 plants. 10 days after first two were harvested. BB1 and GG1 seem to have denser buds than BB2 and GG2. I think the yield will be greater also. First two plants dried for 6 days at 45-50 RH and 65-70F and put into quart Mason jars with humidity meters and pouches at 62 RH. Once second two have dried, will update dry weight for all 4 plants in Harvest week.
