Stella’s Duo - DarkStar

8/6/22 My Duo are the victims of circumstance; temporarily, at least. My wife was gone for 3 weeks, and she got home on their last scheduled feed day. Which was 2 days ago making today, the end of their 4 day drought. They looked better than I had expected. None of their leaves showed any signs of distress or drying. They were both green and healthy, although a little droopy. We’re starting week 9, and moving along to the late feed stage step 7. Which is no different from step 6. It’s just the next step along the schedule. Both of them shared a gallon of 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 was 6.1. I added 2 ml of pH UP which adjusted the final solution pH to 6.6. Each gave back sufficient runoff to measure. The pH of #1 was 5.9, and #2 was 5.8. It seemed as though their soil did better after a couple extended days without water. However, I don’t plan on repeating that duration without reason. Their tent temp was 86F, with humidity at 40%. They looked much better today as I was typing this note, getting caught up with my diary documentation. Happy growing everyone! 8/9/22 Today was a hectic, and horrible day for me and my garden. Luckily, the Duo here got by unscathed! I began harvesting their mother today, so they got moved to a new, and more spacious home, as well as getting a light upgrade. They are now in a 4x4x6.5 foot tent, and the light is a Spider Farmer SE5000. They’re continuing with the late bloom nutrients, and on a good note; I received the replacement nutrients today that I ran out of the last feed day. They received half a gallon of water each from a gallon mixed with the following: 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 was 6.2 and was not adjusted. They each gave back sufficient runoff with #1 having a pH of 5.7, and #2 - 5.6. Their new tent was 85.5F, with humidity at 47%. Hopefully the new space and new light allow them to fatten up nicely in the latter end of their grow. Happy growing everyone. 8/11/22 Another feeding day for my DarkStar Duo! It has been a sad few days in my garden, but I’m trying to get over it, but it’s hard. For more info on that, read my Stella’s Cuatro diary for details. My Duo are continuing the late bloom nutrients that were listed for you the last feed day. Today I mixed another gallon of water with the nutrients required. Here’s how it fell out: The initial pH of the solution was 6.1. Normally I would try to adjust this up a bit, but I ran out of pH UP while preparing the solution for another diary. Luckily I already have it ordered and should be delivered tomorrow or Saturday. Needless to say, they were given the 6.1 solution today. Each gave back plenty of runoff with a pH of 5.5 for both plants. The tent was 82.6F, and humidity was 52%. My Duo seem to like their new home and light just fine. Happy growing everyone!
