4/28-Mango Smile continues to perform nicely. Increased the nute mix slightly. EC=1.60, PPM=1,150, Ph=6.0. Runoffs have been consistently close to inputs. Buds are starting to fatten up and fill the gaps between the nodes. Getting frostier by the day.
4/30-Buds are getting fatter and frostier. Tons of bud sites are really developing and I'm starting to think that perhaps the Mango Smile might deliver a bit more yield than I was expecting. A very small number of buds are showing pistils turning amber. I'm thinking we've got another 3-4 weeks before harvest.
5/3-Another great week with the Mango Smile. Buds are starting to get more dense, more frosty, and are starting to fill in the nodal gaps. The vast majority (90%) of the pistils are still white but a few more are turning amber at the end of the week. I've kept the nute recipe the same but I mixed up one gallon of water with Overdrive and added that as a little bonus for the Mango Smile as its running a week to 10 days ahead of the Forum Stomper in development. I think its got another couple weeks ahead of flowering and then I'll start flush.
Did you defoliate and what week ? I’m in week six and have doing it practically every day and the next day you hardly know it ! I got 3 in a 2x2 ‘ tent !
