Bloom Week #5 -June 5-11 (Days 57-63 from sprout)
6/5-Up nute load to 1,100 ppm and EC 1.45 and Ph 6.0. Noticed that runoffs were coming in high at EC 1.65 and ppm 1,200 and the ph had risen to 6.6. So I decided to dilute the solution by adding in a couple of gallons of RO water at 6.0 ph into the reservoir. Checked the EC in the tank which is now 1.2 ish and 6 ish on Ph. Ran 1 gallon of straight RO water at 6.0 through the plant to bring runoff in line. Now the runoff was EC 1.25, ppm 850, and Ph 6.0. I like where everything is at now as we head into the last 3-4 weeks of flowering.
6/7-Day 59 from Sprout-First signs albeit small signs of pistils turning red. At first I thought this plant would be done earlier rather than later but now I'm thinking this one might have another 3-4 weeks in her. Getting frostier by the day so it will be interesting to see how things shape up over the next couple of weeks.
6/10-Things are looking good. Still monitoring EC which got a bit high again. So I diluted the mix a bit in the reservoir and also added a bit of time to the 3X a day cycle to make sure runoff is washing away excess nutes. Buds are getting a few more red pistils each day, adding frostiness, and getting a bit more dense.
6/11-9 weeks since sprout and I'm getting ready for the final stretch. The buds are continuing to make some serious frostiness. Probably 20% of the pistils are now turning red. Buds are getting a bit more dense and starting to stack a bit closer. Next week I'll be switching Big Bud Coco for Overdrive to see if we can fatten things up before flush.
@renbuds, doing pretty well. One plant is super vigorous and already showing pretty colors. The other three are taller are a little slower to stacking and showing colors. Check out my diary I update it almost daily
Heck yeah, you nailed it. I've got 2 freebie packs.
1 is 24 karat crossed with super orange haze
