Stella’s Duo - DarkStar

7/30/22 Today starts week 8, and my Duo have graduated to the Late Bloom step 6 nutrient level. My youngest of Stella’s daughters are doing wonderful. I am so pleased with their size! If you follow my diaries then you know what I mean. If not, look back a few weeks and it will be explained. I’m not going to go into it all again today. Today each of the Duo received a half gallon of fresh water mixed with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 3.8 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 4.2 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml The initial pH if the solution was 5.9. I added 3 ml of pH UP which adjusted the pH to 6.5. Each of them gave back sufficient amounts of runoff to measure. #1 - 5.3 #2 - 5.2 I’d like that to be higher for both, but they look healthy and are developing their flowers (buds) quite nicely. After the last defoliation, none of the long stemmed leaves have grown back, so each leaf of node you see is flowering buds! Nothing worthless is growing on either of these two plants. I love it! The temperature in their tent was 82F, with humidity at 49%. I think I’ve finally got the size right for the DarkStar cultivar!! I’m so happy with these two. Happy growing everyone! 8/2/22 I got kind of twisted around the other day while feeding my other plants and got a day behind. Life always seems to have other plans. My Duo are continuing to share a gallon of fresh water mixed with the late bloom nutrients. They were listed out in the first note this week, so they won’t be repeated just yet. The initial pH of the solution was 6.0. 3 ml of pH UP was added to adjust it to 6.5. Each plant gave back sufficient runoff with the following pH: #2 - 5.6 #2 - 5.5 Both plants are looking lovely, and developing well. I truly love the way they look after the last “great defoliation”. There are no superfluous leaves anywhere on either plant. Every leaf is a sugar leaf attached to fattening buds. Awesome! I defoliated 2 of my Stella’s Cuatro grow, and they look just the same. I still need to do the other 2 before it’s too late. These ladies are of a lovely size, and due to that and their smaller growing environment, I’m expecting them to yield less, but the quality should still be top shelf. 🤞 Their tent was 84F, with humidity at 45%. I’d love another fan, but I don’t have anyplace to put it in the small tent. 🤷‍♂️ c’est la vie. I think that’s how it’s spelled. Happy growing everyone!
