Ratch33 Hey Guys, so I have ran into some difficulties regarding our power supplier. Due to the current situation we are facing in South Africa the power company "Eskom" does not have ample supply to provide constant electricity to our country anymore. This is very sad. So they implement a system called "loadshedding" where the cut off power supply in certain suburbs at certain times. This has got me in a complete and utter flat spin as I'm not always at home when this happens. The past 2 weeks have been immensely rough as we we're scheduled for outages 3 times a day for 2,5 hour intervals. Between 02:00AM - 06:30 my tent's power went off (depending on scheduled time). This has in fact caused some VPD problems ( I tried getting up every night, but I still have to get enough sleep for work ). As you can imagine, it sucks BIG TIME. I've done my best to keep at par & doctored where I could.
*Decreased Light Intensity (600W)
*Decreased Wind Velocity on canopy
Almost approaching the start of week 3.
Feeding schedule from 3 day interval - 2 day interval ( 2L per feed )
Selective defoliation to get light on lower tops.
Used some garden wire to support 2 main colas which we're too high.
Note: Pest/Mould check done. Foliar sprayed with H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) @ coolest part of day
- Next day applied high alkalinity ph'd water to kill mildew spores
- Fan heater running from 03:30AM - 06:00AM, pulsing/regulating temp at 19-21°C [ until light comes on ]

Ratch33 Hey Guys!
The last 2-3 weeks have been somewhat difficult. The “Load shedding” cut-offs has increased to stage +5 level which means 5 hours without electricity each day! 😒 🤢 Suck’s right? Well, that ain’t where my headache ends. To make matters even worse, due to all the on/off intervals our suburbs Sub-Station Transformer blew out - causing an overload & tripping the emergency leakage right after it gets switched back on. Then it’s a waiting game as City Officials needs to manually override the system, sometimes waiting up to 6 hours for them to respond to the call-out.
Trying to keep things in check as best I can has taken its toll. Thus I’ve made the decision to harvest a little earlier than planned. I’ve noticed the flush taking affect underneath the leaves which is good enough for me at this point! (Besides, my smoke jar has been empty for almost 2 weeks now) - Thus why I’ve decided to harvest a little early than normal.
I had started with the flush on 2 July after 8,5 weeks into reproductive stage. Initially planned to flush them down for 2-3 weeks until the flower period had reached 12-13th weeks total. ∴ 10 day flush done!
Flush Period → 2 July 2022 → Yesterday 06:00
Dark Period → Yesterday 14:00 → Tomorrow 06:00
Harvesting Day → Tomorrow 08:00

Ratch33 The only thing with this specific strain - 12-13 Weeks For Flowering. Other than that, it's been a BLAST & I'd definitely grow their strains again!
@cheetah844,
LOL, Good luck man!! Am eager to see your progress too!! Keeps me motivated, determined & inspired to keep improving my own toking skills. Peace!👊
@cheetah844, Thanks a million for taking your time & making effort to help a fellow out. Legends..👏
I got it downloaded, sweet. The only down side is, my tent is on the porch outside. I don't have air-conditioning or de-humidifiers active. I do have a temperature regulated fan heater, automatically switches on at night when temps drop below 18C. I have a mini-humidifier & water cooler coupled with the fan to raise the humidity. On average it's 45-50% RH at night..
Big up!!
@Kynareth, thank you once again bud.. Just trying to keep the green fingers busy!! I'm still sorting some stuff, then i want to browse through your logs too.. 💪
@BATMAN_GROWS, Thank you Mr Batman sir!💪 If Arkham cities finest approves, it makes my day! They were mouth squirting bro!! The head buzz was just epic, had the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! I really appreciate the compliments from fellow masters. It's humbling & inspiring.
#BatmanFuckingRules
@ClownBaby, Thanks a bunch "Growmie" It took me completely by surprise. Thank you for the compliments, it's appreciated sincerely. Hope to follow on some tokes in the future! Have an awesome weekend 😎🙏🙏😁
