Stella’s Duo - DarkStar

6/25/22 Stella’s Duo are getting big, very fast! #1 has grown 3.5 inches, and #2 has grown 4.5 inches in just two days. #1 is now 15.5 inches tall, and #2 is 16 inches tall. Each of them has nice branch development already, and I’m going to go ahead and flip them to flower tomorrow. Today is actually the first day of week 3, but I’m going to go ahead and start the flowering week in the diary today, but actually do the change tomorrow. I already have 5 DarkStar plants flowering right now, and they are all huge. I don’t want two more giant plants to take care of right now. Today they received a 1/2 gallon of water mixed with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 3.8 ml FloraGro - 5.7 ml FloraBloom - 2.8 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml The pH was 6.5, and was not adjusted. Each had a sufficient amount of runoff, and their pH was: #1 - 6.0 #2 - 5.9 Both plants look wonderful and are doing quite well. Tomorrow I will change the light schedule , and adjust the nutrients so that we may skip ahead in the program. Let’s see if I can grow some DarkStar cultivars that don’t end up being giants! Oh, I almost forgot; I also defoliated them a bit today. They had several large leaves that they really didn’t need. So I took them off. Happy growing everyone! 6/26/22 Just a quick update: The timer has been adjusted to 12/12 to begin flowering. Also, I topped each plant today to halt any new upward growth. Now the stretch begins! Happy growing everyone! 6/29/22 Four long days have passed since these two young ladies have been fed a drop of anything except light. They looked pretty good regardless, and each has continued to grow a bit. #1 grew 2.5 inches and is now 18 inches tall. #2 grew 4 inches and is now 20 inches tall. I adjusted their lights to be 12 inches overhead. Stella’s Duo started getting the early bloom nutrients today to help them along the flowering process. Each received 1/2 gallon of the following mixed into a gallon of water. CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 5.7 ml FloraGro - 6.6 ml FloraBloom - 6.6 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml The pH was 6.3, and wasn’t adjusted. Each plant gave back sufficient runoff with both having a pH of 5.8. Their tent was 84F, with a humidity of 38%. I’m thinking of adding another plant to their tent, but I haven’t quite decided yet. Their size is what’s going to decide it in the end. Happy growing everyone! 7/1/22 Today is the last day of week 3, and these young ladies are already a week into flowering. They are still growing some, but I’m hoping that I chose to flip them soon enough so that they don’t get as huge as their mother (Stella - DarkStar #2) or older sisters (Stella’s Cuatro). We’re still using the early bloom nutrient level since they’ve just begun flowering earlier this week. They are looking nice and healthy. Today I mixed a new gallon of water with the same nutrient levels from the other day. Each plant received 1/2 gallon. The pH of the solution was 6.4 after mixing everything together and didn’t need adjusting. They both gave back a sufficient amount of runoff with their pH as follows: #1 - 6.0, and #2 - 5.9. Their tent was 84F, with humidity at 54%. So far they are doing ok in the small tent by themselves, but I can already see that they’re going to start needing more space in the future. I will move them to the larger tent down the road when space becomes available. Till next time fellow growmies! Happy growing everyone!
