Stella’s Trio

7/31/22 - 8/1/22 I’ve listed two dates on this note because I started feeding my girls yesterday, but only finished #3 and #4 before needing to stop due to exterior circumstances. I finished feeding the other two ladies today and took all the pictures (8/1/22). Stella’s Cuatro have begun the ripening stage, and will continue receiving the ripening nutrients mixed in 2 gallons of water for the 4 of them to share. Their new nutrient levels include: FloraMicro - 5 ml FloraBloom - 15 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml Dry KoolBloom - 0.5 tsp The initial pH of both gallons was 5.3. I added 13 ml’s of pH UP to adjust them to 6.3. Numbers 3 & 4 were fed yesterday, and the tent was 80.3F, and humidity 55%. Numbers 1 & 2 were fed today and the tent was 81.7F, with humidity close at 58%. Each of them gave back sufficient runoff to check their pH. #1 - 5.4 #2 - 5.7 #3 & 4 - 5.1 I still haven’t gotten around to defoliating #3 & 4, but I will before it gets too late. All four of them are doing well and are fattening their buds quite nicely. I took pics of the plants as well as buds from each plant for your viewing pleasure. Happy growing everyone! 8/3/22 My Cuatro are tiring! If it was just the 4, it would be ok, but it’s not just the 4 of them in my garden! I have them, and the 3 other diaries, and 4 additional plants that make the 4 of them so tiring. I have to laugh a little after complaining about that problem. I wish ALL of life’s little problems were as stressful and tiring! They are all doing well, and developing their buds quite nicely. Because of all their twisted and bent branches, they tend to be tediously awkward when moving them around. They tend to want to lean to one side or the other, and then I get to be the one who gets them sorted out to stand straight up on their own. It gets tiring. Today I mixed 2 more gallons of water with the ripening nutrients for them to share. I’ll refer to them as “G-1” or “G-2”. Today, G-1 had an initial pH of 5.4, and G-2 was 5.3. I added 13 ml’s of pH UP to each which adjusted them both to 6.4. #3 was stingy again and decided not to give back any runoff. Her pot contains more soil than the other 3, and she tends to be stingy at times with her runoff. I know it’s bad, but honestly, she’s still doing great and harms no issues, so I’m not freaking out about it. The other 3 gave back enough to measure. #1 - 5.4 #2 - 5.6 #4 - 5.8 The tent was 82.3F, and humidity was 52%. Their mother is about ready for harvest, and these 4 Ladies aren’t far behind. Happy growing everyone!
