F63 Today.
I've been thinking she would be done around 75-80 days, but most of the trichomes are cloudy and a little amber. I am now planning on harvesting F68-73.
This week I lowered the EC to 1.0 and will lower it to EC.7-.8 in a day or two.
Reduced the cal-mag to about 40-50 PPMs (EC .1) . I kept a little of the remo astroflower for the extra K with less N than my base feed.
The PPMs are slightly rising, but the tips don't seem burnt, so I will add mostly water for the rest of the grow. Maybe some base feed if the EC drops below .7-.8.
No full flush here. Flushing doesn't remove any nutrient content out of the buds, those nutrients are already there.
I like to reduce the feed so I don't overfeed since the plants don't use a lot of food the last 2 weeks.
The plants still need some food for arguably the most important time of the grow, last 2 weeks. It's when the plants bulk up, frost up, and get stinkier, so I never understand starving them at the end.
But to each their own. Done with my ramble, now a bowl π.
Have a great week! ππππππππππ
Nice to see the coolers bubbling again! All the best with this crop β
Funny, you mention your heavy hand. I'm a charter member of that club. I just destroyed a seedling trying to remove its helmet - I'm so impatient. π
@Oozle, Thanks buddy. Back at cha! I'll have new diaries spinning up in a couple of weeks. Some down time is nice, but I'm already itching to get started again. π
@Oozle, I do love DWC. I have one plant destined for the great outdoors that my buddy will be minding for me while I'm on vacation. I'll be keen to get the buckets going again when I return.
How awesome you scored some MAC1 clones - one of my favorite strains! I've been on the lookout for seeds but it looks like ordering via the UK/Europe is my only option. I'm looking forward to your journal!
@StunFlower, It was spur of the moment thing. Now I have a room problem because I have to quarantine them for a bit. I never had the smoke and seeds here are super expensive for real MAC (think it has a lot to do with how the pollen isn't very fertile)... so here's to hoping I actually got the real MAC1 cap cut.
These plants are keeping you hopping. Looks like you're getting things sorted out. I'm excited to see those MAC! clones in there. Like I said, one of my favourite strains, very tasty smoke. I did manage to find and order some MAC seeds that I'll run in my next batch. They certainly won't be the coveted cap cut but we'll see what grows π€
@StunFlower, Thanks. Good to hear you had positive experiences with the MAC. I just turned the lights off in that tent and I wasn't sure if I was going to kill it or flower it. Everyone is telling me to keep it so I guess I will haha.
@StunFlower, thanks. It sucks cause it had a really nice camera, so now I am back to my old phone for pictures. I am grateful I had a backup and no real loss except some $$ and pics.
@StunFlower, I killed them a month or two back. They rooted I could have put them into flower, but my soil tent was running WAY longer than I planned and I didn't have the room/want to combine hydro and soil. Also I was a touch worried about the clone herpes (Hop Latent Viriod) stuff since I didn't know the source of the clones and I was planning on taking some myself soon. I wanted everything as controlled/sterile as possible for my new clones.
I lost my new phone, so I lost all the pictures of the last couple weeks of that grow. So it was a bunch of stuff combined that led me to culling them.
@StunFlower, haha yea. stinky stuff. Thanks dude. It's nice getting stuff that smells different than the pineapples, oranges, and lemons. Not that those are bad, I'm growing some now haha. I love a lot of them, but always a treat to have some different terp profiles.
@StunFlower, thanks! today she didn't seem to stretch up much more so I think she is about done. I have her velcro'd down too.
I am using a PPFD app to try and manage my light intensity cause it is growing so close to the light. keeping my fingers no more stretching and now all bud growth!
