Week 10. Doing well. Just letting her finish up eating. As soon as I start to see any defs I'll know she'll be near her end and I'll do a run off test and if she falls into 2-350ppm in the run off (that's with ambient ppm of the water at 110ppm) so looking to see 150-250 left without ambient water added.
Am keeping her on a 1ml/L 140ppm + 110ppm of the water feed to keep photosynthesis going while she keeps eating. Don't want to throw her into a full on hard flush as she's still ripening. And as soon as you hard flush, well, that's it, she's done eating and should be left. But by doing it this way. You can still keep with a healthy plant eating right up until the last few days. I have no idea what she will give in the way of weight. But this is her last week.
If you are wondering why I cut her leafs, now, idk how true this is. But it replicates a pest attack and your plant returns in kind by beefing herself up with THC/RESIN as a way of fighting back. Now, be sure you leave enough growth that the energy is getting drawn in..
64 days total now, and the end of the week will bring her to 70days. But she's done. And by right, could of been pult now but being it's full of silica and non organic nutrients you MUST get rid of most of that as possible. You won't notice a chemical cough until you get a month or 2 cure and all them heavy unnatural nutrients will end up in your lungs. Also, I smoke weed raw, I don't use tobacco to make splifs and that. So taste is everything to me. And I need a cure to bring out the best of my girls or else you'll taste the same thing throughout your plants, chemicals. Now, it really is up to you, but for me. Clearing up that substrate is a must to clean up your plant, especially with synthetic nutrients.
NEED ADVICE
I have some bud I clipped to fridge dry and if it goes well. I'm thinking this plant will be fridge dried as she is small enough to fit in and dry at 5c. If anyone has any issues with this please please tell me, as I've never done it. Should I just put half the plant in to test it? Or will it be okay whole? My worries are no air flow???
Thanks for reading and clicking onto my diary. Be sure to like so I can visit your grows, but either way thanks for dropping by..
@CrazyHorse, ah it was just a case that I seen on led-grower.eu and seen them and when I went on I seen a chart and I was on my phone so could only see 1 half and it had 14 of the AN nutes I have and emailed and they tilt me in on them and they made most of ANs products and h9ld the pattens that made AN what it is today. So it was simply a case of me having the full AN line and telling them I'm thinking of doing a side by side grow, every AN nute I have I'll match them from the whole line up they sent. But then I have their other stuff I don't have in AN so am looking forward to getting stuck in.
So, the 400e I spent on my AN line is paying off in more ways than 1. Thanks for dropping by buddy.
Looking great this one. I did two of these last year, unfortunately I never put a diary on. I had 2 different phenos, one had some purple throughout the buds but I think I stressed that one out, the other one was completely different and some of the nicest I've grown. Looking forward to seeing the result buddy.
@gottagrowsometime, I've heard of drying in the fridge but I don't know enough about it to really have an opinion.
I have a lot of friends that dry in cardboard boxes they punch holes to stick the stems through and a few on the sides to get airflow and they like it, but again I haven't tried it I just hang mine in a closet that stays a little cooler than my house especially in the winter but the rh is pretty steady 40-50% I have to watch really close in the hot months because they'll dry in 3 or 4 days it's not optimal but I have people try stuff that dried in 3 days and some 8 days and they said they couldn't tell the difference. You might be able to send it to a lab and find a difference but I don't need to be that critical
@Cyrusdavirus, they do look very tasty. Quick question pal. Am having real temp issues. My attic is cold and can hang dry there. But it's like a pasdise for pests, so I really don't want to hang it there. I was thinking cause its so small it would fit in my fridge. I have it set a 5c do you think I'll get away with that or will the lack of air flow be an issue, would love your 2cents. Thanks
@Ju_Bps, thanks brother. She's just coming into preflower. Gonna be a short auto..not a massive yield but I'll nvr be unhappy with a bit of early smoke.
