Stella’s Duo - DarkStar

8/28/22 Today is the beginning of the end for my lovely Duo. They begin the clean, fresh, properly pH’ed water phase of their life. The flush. Oh, Happy Days! I no longer have any plants using anything except pH DOWN. Lovely! Each of the Duo received half a gallon of water today. The initial pH was 7.5, and I added 0.4 ml of pH DOWN to adjust it. The adjusted pH was 6.3. Each gave back sufficient runoff with the following pH: #1 - 5.3 #2 - 5.4 The tent was 85F, and humidity was 46%. Only two weeks away from harvest. Once the Duo are harvested I’ll be an empty tenter. At least for a little while. Happy growing everyone! 8/30/22 Feeding time for Stella’s Duo again. It is so nice to only have to feed 2 plants! It is such a relief. I’m sure many of you whom have grown multiple plants and managed multiple diaries at the same time can relate. [imagine a bald bearded man wiping his brow and letting out a sigh of relief 😮‍💨] The Duo are continuing to receive fresh, properly pH’ed water for the flush. So easy! The initial pH of the gallon of water was 7.5. I added 0.4 ml of pH DOWN to adjust the water to 6.4. Each Lady took half a gallon as usual, and both gave back plenty of runoff. The pH was 5.3 for both plants. I’m glad to have finally found the appropriate size to flip this cultivar. ALL of my others have been giants! Every one of them have been over 50 inches tall, but these Ladies are only around 35 inches tall. The thing is that their branches have been bent over several times in order for them to be how they are. I’m sharing these thoughts with myself as much as I am with anyone following along. If anyone needs to know; when growing DarkStar, to avoid giants, flip to flower when they reach 12 inches tall. One foot tall will grow to as tall or big as these two. Enough rambling. The tent was 86F, and humidity was at 50%. I hope you’re all having fun in your gardens! Happy growing everyone. 9/1/22 Once again, it’s feeding time in The_Good_Twin grow room! Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well today. Stella’s Duo are still getting properly pH’ed water to continue on with the flush. Tomorrow marks the end of week 12, and Saturday will begin week 13, and also the last planned week in their grow schedule. One more week of the flush, and then it will be time to harvest!! I am so ready to be done with this grow season! I should have only had 2 plants, but ended up with 8. Not that I’m complaining. I love what I’ve grown, and am growing, but it gets to be a bit much at times. Enough of my solitary commentary. Back to the Duo. As usual, the initial pH of my tap water was 7.5. I added 0.4 ml of pH DOWN which adjusted the pH to 6.4. Both gave back sufficient runoff for testing and both were 5.3, just like the last feeding. It’s way lower than I’d like, but both plants are doing well. They smell divine!! 👃🏽’s awesome! They are doing wonderful, and continue to fatten up quite nicely. Both plants have some very nice, fat, and long nugs. DarkStar is a cultivar that grows very large in height, but the growth of their buds are commensurate with the size of the plant. Large, fist size nugs all over the place. I didn’t take any pictures today because there are so many this week already. I’ll take some nice trichome pics with my microscope next week so we can all see how they’re doing. The tent was 86.6F, and humidity was 40%. Until Saturday; may all of your plants produce awesome buds like mine!! Happy growing everyone!
