Day-43, BK. Flushed 2 days ago, defoliated yesterday, fed nutrients today suprcroping the canopy started yesterday. This one is scary with her metabolism. Internodal is more than generous. I'll be a lot happier when these have all stretched and I can stop sweating her. Collected 30 gallons of snow melt that was fun, not so much but really glad to get something wet. It got a TDS of 16ppm just a little higher than rainwater which is usually around 14ppm which is way better than my tap water @521ppm, that will definitely make my her sicker than she already is. Alright get well girl and all of you as well.
Update on the health issue, not a deficiency my pH meter was off (low readings) so my pH was too high for calmag uptake. I think a couple weeks ago I probably left it sitting in some nutrients solution for too long, anyway I checked, recalibrated, checked again compared to water with test solution also. So previously if I thought I was going at 6.1 -6.4 it was probably closer to 6.6-6.9
Day -45, BK. Fed 1.25 gal of rainwater @6.25 (calibrated this time) she is greening up and has looked better everyday since the flush. The rest of the tent is ready so this might be the last 18hr day I'm aiming for 13" at flip getting close. If I had enough sense to calibrate I meter after letting it soak in solution we might be sleeping right now. 🙂 Well that's all I got. No more stress .... Yet.
Day-47, BK. Today I'm doing a little defoliation, and top dressing with earthworm castings, bat guano, Dr. Earth bud & bloom. Almost time for lights out and I'm planning to reset the timers for flip at that time. She is at 13" and Im not sure but I think she is gonna get stretchy so almost 7 weeks.
Finished up and reaching for a dust pan and.... Yikes, I just knocked an empty gas can off the shelf. Bad news, it topped "The" main cola. Good news unbelievable that's the only permanent damage, well crap.
Banana strains are always super creative feeling and smooth smoke. Keep up the amazing progress. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!! If you have a moment please stop by my YOU DECIDE diary and place a vote.
@LegacyMarketFarm, Thanks Brutha, if it rains soon we'll be ok. Started the grow with 190 gallons and collected about 30 gallons of snow melt last month. I'm down to 6 gallons. Thankfully it's finally supposed to rain in 2 more days. My tap water is poison at 535 TDS. Boring details, pardon the ponder. Oh and on that Banana if you look close you will see where I heeded your advice about temp gap in stretch on that other growers post. Internodal spacing was cut almost half. Before I had always tried to maintain 15°F gap for the entire grow. Great advice on the 10 ° .
