Start of week 5 flower! Sept 18
Growth of the buds, and trichome production is looking great so far! Unfortunately for this grow I forgot that I switched to coco from living soil, which means I was watering with 6.5 pH instead of 5.8. The last week or so I started getting brown/rust spots and yellowing leaves starting lower on the plant. Tried multiple solutions until I realized it was a pH issue (hopefully). Yesterday I flushed the plant with 5.8 pH water and until decent amount of run off. Will continue to water at 5.8 pH and monitor the symptoms.
I also top fed for the last time this grow! 15ml/gal of Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4
This plant has the most trichome production so far in the tent.
Day 31F Sept 21
Did one last small defoliation too open up the middle a bit. Buds are growing nicely and the trichome production is fantastic so far. This plant smells absolutely beautiful, very nice candy kush scent. Very excited for late stage flower!
Continuing to water daily at 5.8 pH water, and keeping my eye on the slight pH issue I was having.
I was doing some research online to see if it was possible to use coco coir, perlite, with Gaia Green and most comments I've seen(not on GD) were negative and highly claiming that was not doable as it only works in soils....
that didn't satisfy my need of knowing for sure if it was doable, so i came here on GD and search nutrients for Gaia Green then was looking for diaries with coco coir as medium and boom ๐คฏ there you are with all purpose gaia, worm casting and flower bloom and calmag in coco with perlite.
Wow ๐ฎ bro i am just amazed of the results of both diaries with coco/perlite/gaia
You nailed it big time brother!

She looks so good! I'm on the hunt for prized phenos. I just planted this along with 10 other strains. Your diary gives me high hopes for this one. Check it out if you ever have time ๐๐จ
