Day 64
Temps 27°, C rH is 55%
The plant seems much happier in the closet. I know the temps were not too cold before, but they were definitely on the low end of tolerable.
No water today
Day 65
Given 1 liter of water +molasses + drop of lemon juice
Day 66
Given 1 liter of water + drop of lemon juice
The plant seems to the smaller waterings at more frequent intervals. This is something I will probably continue to do in these 7 gallon pots. Seems to work well later into the plants life when the roots have spread throughout the soil. I have a hard time getting my finger in there to check moisture and have been going the weight of the pot for a few weeks now.
The leaves seem to be lightening up in some places one or two have faded. I might add a tad of fish fert in with the next feeding to up the N a bit.
I really seem the need for a PPM meter and better pH testing gear. Next run I hope to have incorporated these into my grow bag.
Day 67
The pot was light enough to water. I opted out on adding any more nitrogen and gave her a half dose of Tiger Bloom through 2 liters of water. I think that might be the last feed though. We are running up on day 75 and I think I'm going to cut off the nutes and let her eat herself for the last 2 weeks. I hope this isn't a bad idea bud although the buds are not huge, they are getting frosty, becoming denser, changing colors, and the hairs have gone mostly red. So maybe another 3 weeks.
Temps : 27°C
rH : 59%
pH : unknown
Day 68
Pot was light again today, gave her around 1 ½ liters of water. My pH pen is way off so I did some guesstimating and tried to get it in the range. I think the soils pH had risen causing some lock out or she actually needed some N. If she continues to fade I may add a bit of Fish Fert in there. That should be bioavailable right away.
Buds are filling out but not fattening up like I'd hoped.
Theses a lot I am going to do differently when it comes to training the plants next run.
I'm going to go in 7 gallon fabric pots, with the top rings of tomato cages cut off and stuck into the pot to tie her down to. I'm going to plant the seedings to one side and try to get a nice even circle of buds.
I didn't really trim the bottom of the plant this run, so I have a lot more popcorn buds then I'd like to have.
It's definitely been a good learning experience, but now that I have a better idea on how these things grow, and when to implement training, and nutrients, I think my next run will be even better.
I still suspect another 3 weeks or so. If the buds don't start to swell up next week I'm going to assume they're rippening up. The hairs are all turning red and the buds are visibly denser. But I guess time will tell.
Day 69
Leaves continue to fade, buds continue to ripen.
Gave her 2 liters of dechlorinated water, guessed the pH, hopefully it's in the range. Temps are around 27°C and rH is around 55%.
Day 70
So between now and another five days the plant is estimated to be done. I'm gonna say another two weeks for sure.
Buds are dens, leaves are fading nice and slow, just yellowing out. No signs of other deficiencies.
Temps are around 25°C
rH is between 50-60%
pH is hopefully in the range.
No water today
Looking good! I love growing autos and I plan to run some meph soon. I just started two autos recently myself. Very excited!
I'll definitely follow your grow
@DoctorAutoflower, I know. I learned my lesson, or some patience. Not really sure which one.
But I've been learning and trying to do better so will start posting again soon.
