D57-fed last Night a gallon of feed and exposed the inner canopy by tying colas outward slightly. Feed consisted of 5ml silica, 5ml tiger and 5ml big bloom, PH was resting at 6.7. Everything seems to have grown since last night, hoping I'm on cruise control for a while. Dehumidifier is changing the game, only downside is it's so large I need to keep the tent open a bit to get that humidity out. Working through potential solutions but very happy with the plant. Very excited to be in week 9 now, I'm really not minding the slow crawl as long as it yields over 1.5oz dry AT LEAST. Will continue to update through the week on the day by day basis. I'm projecting a guess that harvest will be D80+-5 days. Happy growing everyone!
D59-fed tonight half a gallon. 7ml tiger and 5ml big bloom. Pistils are getting orange a bit but the buds are not fattening yet...none of the plants are really. Thinking of flipping to 18/6 for the remainder of the grow to see if that will provide the rest they need...
D60-buds are swelling and starting to look like the end product. Checking trichomes daily, once I see all clouded heads, flush begins. Really hoping I can time this right and the plant picks up density before harvest.
D61-I think I'm going to begin flush when soil is dry. Pistils are turning orange and I keep checking trichomes for mostly cloudy status, getting very close here though.
*I will also be gradually turning to 18/6 cycle, for sure having it implemented fully by day 64.
**flush tonight 1.5 gallons of ph balanced water at 6.8. Runoff ph was 5.8. Not bad, hoping to have it run out for another week or two, but no more nutrients!
D62-hoping I timed this flush right. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, some Amber up top but the buds are not as big as I was expecting, seeing from other growers. Probably human error this run, maybe I stunted it...i don't know. It all may turn up fine too...just going to water when dry and continue to inspect the plant.
D63-continuing not to be happy with this plant. Bottom buds don't have any trichomes while top cola is showing signs of nearing completion. Tomorrow is week 10, might flush again tonight to make sure salt build up is gone.
PM-i don't know what I'm doing anymore...I'm a mad man. Flush with 3 gallons of water again, PH to 6.5 and last half gallon I gave 5ml big bloom PH to 6.4...flushing with only water from here on out but I couldn't give up just yet. Tomorrow is week 10 and it won't need water for another 2 or 3 days.
Has anyone noticed a true difference in yields/health with an addition of a silica compound to the soil medium? Unsure if I want to try it on this grow, but am open to comments/recommendations.
Basically it sets your plant up to help increase overall harvest. Make sure to use a micro with it. And add bit at a time if making s mix as some nutes might gel together if used in excess.
Hey again π
Thanks so much for growing so many of our genetics, will be excited to see them all flourish π
Let us know if you need any assistance, weβre more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! π±βοΈ
@fast_buds_jessie, thanks for the comments! I'm looking forward to really tracking them during grow and having an awesome crop! I have a few other fast buds strains that I'm eager to grow too, once this harvest runs its course. Thanks again for the comment and helping hands. Stay tuned!
