Well, well, well! After my colossal fuck-up with the drought stressing, Twiggy seems to have bounced back. But let's talk about Zoey. Zoey was pretty much dead. After 10 days of regular feeding, I didn't see any new growth on about 60% of the buds, so I harvested 60% of Zoey. The other 40% of buds showed some new growth popping out of the top and bottom of the buds, so I'm going to let her go for a while.
Twiggy fared much better, and is still putting on new growth on all bud sites. You can actually see a band of dead sugar leaves around the buds where it was fried, but even the dead leaves are still loaded with trichs. So, we keep going.
Checked trichs from Twiggy and Zoey with microscope and, even though there are a fair number of brown and tan heads, most of them are still clear. So, we keep going.
Of the toasted buds I harvested from Zoey, I got 2.83oz dry.
Still at 1.8EC, 5.6pH, Nitrogen heavy feed, 1400PPFD. N:P:K:Ca:Mg:S is 200:60:130:65:33:41
Before i drought stressed them , they were f'n perfect. See week 10 for reference. Here's the nute study I'm working from: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2021.764103/full
6/8-starting flush. Tap water with a smidge of PK, 0.5EC, 5.5pH.
Ok y'all, was hoping for a simple, hands off grow with just one topping early on. These babies have turned into dense bushes, and I want to defoliate the undercarriage a bit. Fan leaves are huge from the base to the top, so do I just prune out the lower, older fans?
I'm 4 weeks into flower. Plant is super healthy and bushy. Want to thin it down. Can I take some cuttings to clone? Should I put the cuttings back to 18/6 or keep them at 12/12?
Hello. Yes you can take clones almost anytime in the plants life, except the end. They need to go back to 18/6. It is best to take clones just before you switch to flower. the more a plant goes in and out of flowering it looses a bit of vigor. Most strains can go back and forth only a few times before it's not that strong anymore. Also beware that the clone taken in flowering will show weird mutated leaves for a while and it won't be ready for flowering again for at least a month before you get normal leaves out of it and it's gone back to veg. There is a big struggle with the hormones when you take clones in flowering and wanting them to go to veg.. So expect some strange growth before going back to veg. Good luck. Chuck.
How high in power should I go with my lights without CO2 enrichment? I can comfortably provide 1200 PPFD to the canopy, but I'm holding it down near 900 because I'm not sure the extra power used would yield an increase in, um, yield.
always crank out the light if you can ride it out. thing is wierdness starts happening for example you need a lot more calcium and magnesium. the way you're feeding right now, you would have to change quite a lot of the "hands off approach" like you might need to start spraying the leafs with cal mag, monitor it more closely etc. totally worth it especially at the begning and middle of flower, just start turning it down quite a lot towards the chop, get that taste in there. Hope this helps ! 🚀
