Stella’s Trio

7/16/22 I had some issues getting the pH just right today, and ran out of time while I was still feeding my ladies. I didn’t get them back in the tent until 5 minutes after the lights went out. It shouldn’t be a big problem, but I shouldn’t make a habit out of it. Today my girls moved up to the Late Bloom, step 6 nutrients. I mixed 2 gallons with water with the new nutrient levels, of which each plant received a half gallon. CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 3.8 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 4.2 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml Plants #1 & 2 share one, and #3 & 4 share the other. The initial pH of gallon 1 was 5.9, and gallon2 6.0. I added 3.5 ml of pH UP to each which adjusted 1 - 6.5, and 2 - 6.6. They all gave back sufficient runoff except #3. Hera was enough to measure, but barely. All of their runoff pH levels were very, very low. #1 - 5.4 #2 - 5.6 #3&4 - 5.2 The tent was 81.7F, and humidity was 56%. I only got pics for #4,3, & 2. I was to rushed for #1. Oops. Happy growing everyone! 7/18/22 I changed out all of my water jugs for new ones to see if that would help solve the pH issue I was having the other day. It seemed to help some. My Cuatro are still receiving the new late bloom stage nutrients that was started 2 days ago on Saturday. They are still receiving 1/2 gallon of solution, so I mixed two gallons for them to share as usual. Their initial pH levels were much better than the other day. Gallon 1 for plants 1&2, was 6.2, and the other gallon was 6.1. I could have left them there, but I added 2 ml’s of pH UP to each which adjusted their pH to 6.5, and 6.4. Runoff was sufficient and was measured as follows: #1 & 3 - 5.4 #2 - 5.6 #4 - 5.3 All of the runoff pH was lower than I like to see, so I’ll keep an eye on it. The tent temperature was 83.3F, with humidity at 58%. Some of their white pistils are already starting to turn orange, and they seem to be starting to fatten up a bit too. I can’t wait to harvest all of my super large plants to see what type of yields they’re going to give me! Happy growing everyone! 7/21/22 Stella’s Cuatro are starting to fatten up their buds, and their pistils are starting to turn orangish pink in color, and they have started to smell very strong! It’s really nice to see their progress since I have bent and reshaped them several times over the last few weeks. They’re continuing with the same level of nutrients as earlier in the week. I missed feeding them yesterday as planned, so today they looked rather droopy again, but bounced back after getting fed. DarkStar is an extremely resilient cultivar, and I’m very thankful for that. Today they each received half a gallon of solution from two gallons mixed for them. CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 3.8 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 4.2 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml They both had an initial pH of 5.8. I added 5 ml’s of pH UP which adjusted them both to 6.5. #3 has more soil in her pot and did not give back any runoff, but the others were as follows: #1 - 6.0 #2 - 5.9 #4 - 5.5 The tent was 83.9F, with humidity at 52%. All of them have started to fatten up their buds, and their smell has increased substantially. Very nice. Have a wonderful day, and happy growing everyone!
