Stella’s Duo - DarkStar

9/12/22 Well, I’ve said it many, many times; you can plan all you want, but sometimes life just gets in the way! After I got done feeding my girls on Friday, I had a softball game later that evening. I was pitching and took a screaming 1 bouncer right in my face! As you may have guessed, I got messed up pretty good. Broken nose with some shattering of the nasal ridge which I’m going to need surgery to fix. Both of my eyes are a wonderful shade of purple, and I have some smaller cuts on my face and nose. I’ve been eating soft foods because chewing sends lightening bolts up the left side of my face. The good thing is that I didn’t lose any teeth! You have to find the brightness in any cloud, so it could have been worse. It has ruined my plans though. I need my glasses to see in order to trim the plants I still need to harvest, but my nose is swollen to where it hurts too bad to wear them. 🤷‍♂️ I have extended the Duo here till I can actually start to harvest them. They’ll continue the flush obviously till I can harvest them, so here go the numbers for today. The pH was initially 7.5, which was adjusted to 6.5 after adding 0.4 ml of pH DOWN. Both plants gave back sufficient runoff with an identical pH of 5.6. They’re looking fine, and they were actually a little too heavy after an extra day without water and tipped themselves over inside the tent. They have plenty of big buds, and will be fine with the added time. I just don’t know how I’m going to be after surgery later this week. Happy growing everyone! 9/14/22 Yesterday was a very busy day for me. I’m writing this on 9/15/22 for yesterday’s feeding. A day behind, but I think for good reason. I was called in for surgery yesterday to fix my my shattered and broken nose at around 10:45 am, I was in surgery 3 hours later and feeding plants at home 4 hours after that. My wife thought I was crazy, but I figured I should take advantage of the drugs given at the hospital to mitigate the pain and discomfort while I could. Feeding was straight forward. Fresh water with pH of 7.5. I added 0.4 ml of pH DOWN which adjusted it today to 6.2. Both plants gave back good amounts of runoff both with a pH of 5.6. The tent was 86F, with a humidity level of 39%. I took some more trichome pics of each plant, but they’re not the best I’ve ever taken (sorry). I need to finish harvesting their older sisters before I get to them, but it needs to get done. It will all turn out well in the end. The Duo are looking well, and will be fine. I just hope I can say the same for myself. Happy growing everyone!
