Monster&Midget 1st grow.

Finally it's here. The last week. 18 wks is a long time for an auto. And she is showing it too. Random die off around otherwise healthy growth. If the roots hadn't grown down and I left them so it changed from a coco into part DWC Which turned her much bigger. But in letting this happen it was in between flowering so the plants top was done 2 wks ago, bit over done. Got 97g dry from 410 roughly and then 105 and roughly another 20 in testers. 530 wet so far and I've gotten back around 120+g dry so far. I decided to harvest the top cause if you seen how much stigma and unmatured bud I couldn't fully harvest her. I want to finish her properly, hopefully if she bulks up she'll give around another 70-100g wet or if she doesn't it'll be around 50wet. Am leaving her to be finishing what was left her in pot and started her on flawless yday. Let's see if this stuff can keep her going without going into full die off. We shall see. First harvest was in wk 16. Decided to put a couple of spacers in between her nodes in the middle. Should of done it wks ago. It's opened up the whole lower plant for the light. Have to do a lot more LST on bigger plants to open her up to the lights. 23/4/22 Flawless finish seems to be actually finishing her off. Got buds that had 100% white pistils that have turned amber while I was sleeping. Yup Yup. Checked the trichs are it's like 60% clear. Hmmm think it's gonna take 2 wks for her to actually finish. Really happy I chose to put spacers in between the nodes to push them apart. 23/4/22 As you can see, there is lots and lots more growth. All very hairy with white pistils. More larfy really should have lollipoped this 1. I had no idea it would of came out like this as you are meant to take the lower ends of the growth, larfy bud and strip it before flowering starts as if you leave it too late 70% of that energy is gone and can't be taken back and given to the plant..So as soon as you top her if she's an auto and before she moves into stigma and she's looking like shes gonna be a big 1 strip the growth. I've read up a lot about it if you need more details wait till my next grows in a few wks or DM me. I'll be happy to share what I've learnt with you. I'm moving into DWC and will be running 2 19l pots 1 sterile and 1 with enzymes and root stims. The other will be ran on try pack and some bud enhancer foiler spray. It's the dual part try pack, no micro just dual grow and dual bloom and ripen for the last 2 wks. And have 2 bud enhancers from terra power for a foiler spray and will be using h202, haven't decided which one yet. For the other I'll be running a full 18 nute line up. Full enzymes, root stims and bactria of the highest cal. 50 billion microbes per 1ml, Crazy crazy stuff right. (BTW, Terra Power is a new nute company, new in the way of having their iwn brand but they hokd the pattens to some of AN best stuff, they made their bones off it, voodoo juice, tarantula and Piranha, and all rhe others they have taken AN nutes and pwrfected them with 21st centuray with autos and ruderails be 100% covered and more just in their base nutes) Anyways back to this grow. Going to finish her off and hope the rest of her turns ripe as atm she's sitting right on the 50/50 line clear/cloudy. Hoping she finishes up, if not I'm really considering throwing her back on nutes for the wk and just make bubble hash from the bud/larf/trim. We'll see. Looking like 100-150 wet if she bulks up. Who knows. Some of the larf has actually turned into nice hard nugs. Very nice, small and all but frosted and looking very tasty. But for all the effort if I'd of LP'ed her then I'd of been done on wk 16 on the first harvest and probably would of ending up getting a lot more. But as the energy mostly already used up in the making of all the larfy sites I had no option but to try finish her off in a 2 part harvest but even that wasn't enough for all the bud still that should have been stripped before it went into flower therefore the energy would have went into the nodes above and I'd of gotten a bigger yield on top. I can truly say, I have learnt sooo much in doing these 5 grows. Will be in the 300+ g dry altogether. Maybe even 350 which will be 3.5G/W Dry total for all 5 plants which isn't too bad at all. 26/4/22 So, here we are, coming to her end. So, I took a PPM feed and was 650 the base line of the flush liquid was 78 and the feeds for this week have been 5 in total of 200ppm without much run-off. So that's 1000ppm and I'm getting 573 back that's not been eaten. So hard flushed and got the ppm down to 78 and done with flawless at this point. Maybe tomorrow I'll give her 1ml/L. Will take a lot of fan leafs 2moro and chop the sugar leafs that aren't frosted and hopefully will give her that little extra push to finish cause the day of light on the leafs won't be enough to finish most of her. Or get her 70% there at least. Some buds are 60/40 amber/white and then some you can flip that number on its head and then theres the ones with like 10% ambers. But to my surprise about 70-95% of trichomes are cloudy and last week most were clear..So good results, let's she can we give her that little extra push and she comes down wed-Fri depending.
