Welcome to my ganja farmer diary. Be sure to drop a like so I can visit your diaries. Either way, thanks for dropping by.
Flowering Day 39, days in the ground 66.
Is doing well, finishing up nicely. Seems to be a lot of food left in the substrate as she isn't showing any signs of wanting food. No fade or anything yet or end of life cycle leaves me questioning is it even done. But a plant doesn't lie. The trichomes on the top are moving into 100% cloudy. Lower down most pistils are Amber. She's done, you can see little pockets of resin and if you spread the buds apart there's evert little resin balls that haven't dried into the bud, so sticky and stinky, she's really letting off her smells. At the moment, she is a little earthy, with a musty sweet bitter smell. Lovely, you can tell and smell there is other scents that are dying to come out, and they will during the cure. I can safely say, I will have enough of this left to cure for a month or 2 to get a good taste. I won't be taking a plant weight as I'm not willing to strip it to get a wet weight. So what I will do. I'll find a stand alone bud with a decent stem clip it when I chop it and take its weight. And I'm dry it with the plant, then when the whole plant is dry and the bud I cut off ill weight it again to get a rough estimate of what the plant weight was.
Am going to keep her on a light calmag with water diet. Will drop it from 250 to 200 so that's 90ppm calmag and 110ppm for the water.
Temp has gone up, so have decided to switch the light to a 4-2. And moved the light away another 5cm.
Hmmm, still no end of life. She's still eating what's left in the substrate then. I'm going to throw 3L of water to get run off to get a ppm test tonight.
12/7 Done a run off test. Was 480ppm. With the water I had to add will be enough for it to eat more and then I'll harvest in the next 24-36hrs. I watered with about 3L so the soil is soaked. Most water I've used. Got about 1.5L back. And I quickly put in its spill tray so it can spend the next day or so drinking making sure the bud is nice and moist before harvest.
Plan will go into the attic whole for a week to dry and I'll take it down. The temp drops to 16c and goes as high as 20c on very hot days.
RH is a constant 50-60%. Best I can do in height of summer indoors.
As you can see. I hardly did any defoliation. Just old fan leafs that helped make the nodes were removed as they did their job, and the nodes can fully sustain themselves. So, general terms with autos. DO NOT DEFOL IN PRE FLOWER or any stay of veg. If only to remove old fan leafs that are under your thriving nodes are fine, don't take leafs from the nodes themselves or around bud sites.
Thanks for dropping by my diary.
If you want a little discount with mars use this code GGS it works on any marshydro site expect amazon..
Thanks ganja farmer for the beans. Love this strain.
@Green_fiend, I surely did my friend. Just finished up the last of it with my new vape pen, I'm a convert now. So much nicer taste then smoking a blunt..
@Northern_Ent, cheers brother. She's a nice plant to grow. Haven't had to do much cleaning and taken away underdeveloped growth. So around 90% of her I'll bring to harvest which is good.
@gottagrowsometime, did you just get this message? It's from three months ago ๐ค I have noticed that I get notified of updates that when I go to them they were done a long time ago. Just curious ๐ค
