Stella’s Duo - DarkStar

8/21/22 I have gotten behind in my documentation, so I ask that anyone following along with my diary to forgive me for my lapse in attention to detail. I may have made a mistake the other day, but since I’m writing this log 2 days afterwards, I can assure you all that there don’t seem to be any lasting effects. The other day when I was mixing their solution, I was somewhat rushed. I joined a softball team and our 1st practice was on 8/21/22, which was also my feeding day. To make a long story short; the practice time was changed, which only gave me 55 minutes to attempt feeding my babies before the light went out once I got home afterwards. In rushing, and preparing the solutions, I accidentally fed #1 with the unadjusted solution with the original pH of 5.4. 😳 I didn’t even notice that I had forgotten to adjust it until I had already fed #1. I adjusted it properly before feeding #2, but wasn’t sure if there would be a detriment to feeding at such a low, low level. Today, 8/23/22, she looks fine and none the worst for it. Whew 😅. They continued the ripening stage with the following nutrients: FloraMicro - 5 ml FloraBloom - 15 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml Dry KoolBloom - 0.5 tsp As I wrote above, the initial pH was 5.4. After feeding #1 that solution, I recognized my error and adjusted the second half of the gallon with 6 ml of pH UP. That adjusted the second half of the gallon to 6.5. They both gave back runoff to measure, and their levels were very different of course. #1 - 5.3 #2 - 5.7 The tent was 83.9F, with humidity at 44%. The Duo is still fattening up, but they are both doing quite well. Just a few weeks away from harvest now! Oh, also… in my haste, I only took pictures of #1. My bad. I’ll have some today for today’s feeding. Happy growing everyone! 8/23/22 Today I plan on staying caught up with my logs, so I began writing this as soon as I was done feeding my Duo. As I mentioned in the note above, I don’t see any issues that can be related to the mix up in feeding #1 the unadjusted solution on the 21st. All seems well there for now at least. My Duo are still in the ripening stage, so they each received half a gallon of water mixed with the same nutrient levels as the other day. After mixing the gallon and nutrients, the initial pH was 5.4. I adjusted the pH by adding 11 ml’s of pH UP which adjusted the pH too 6.3. Each of my ladies gave back plenty of runoff, and both had a pH of 5.3. The tent was 80.1F, with humidity at 49%. You can tell by looking at the pics I uploaded that their branches are starting to get heavy, and they’re starting to droop from the weight. #1 looks like a large bonsai tree a little. 🤷‍♂️ My Duo will continue with the ripening nutrients for the rest of this week, then it will be time to flush! I can’t wait 😜! Happy growing everyone! 8/25/22 Feeding time again for the Duo and their sisters. My twins are both doing well, and their buds are continuing to fatten up. Very soon they’ll have the tent all to themselves and I can lower the light for them. For the time being, their much taller sisters are keeping it further away than I normally would like, but they’re doing fine. They’re still getting the ripening nutrients for today, but if I keep to my schedule, their next feeding will be fresh, properly pH’ed water. However, today they received half a gallon each of water with: FloraMicro - 5 ml FloraBloom - 15 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml Dry KoolBloom - 0.5 tsp The initial pH was 5.4 after mixing it all together. I added 11 ml’s of pH UP to adjust it to 6.3. Both gave back plenty of runoff with the the same pH level of 5.2. 😳 That’s terrible, but both of the plants look great. 🤷‍♂️ The tent was 81.4F, and humidity was 49%. Pretty soon I’m going to be very busy harvesting, and I can’t wait! Happy growing everyone.
