Big Bazooka 56 days flowering, I must start to check the trichomes maturation to choose the right moment for harvest. The next ten days will be crucial.
Flowers are dense now, frosty, pistils are coloring into orange : a serious flowering. The whole plant show a great vitality even at this stage.
For my latest sessions: I tried to cut the plants during a waning moon period: it’s supposed to facilitate and shorten the drying process. The scientific logic behind this idea is not so doubtful… no problem with the drying (around 2 weeks) till now. However if the plant is not ready for harvest during the next 2 weeks: I will choose the harvest day without a moon timing.
Notice that the germination of this plant was during a waning moon period too: supposed to encourage the rooting.
Did a last feeding with some flowering organic nutrients at the beginning of the week and gave 1L rain water (ph a little bit corrected👇) 60h after.
I didn’t used too much nutrients during this session: major part was for rooting stimulation during vegetative period, and after some flowering nutrients , enzymes and Calcium/Magnesium. The enriched soil used to grow this plant (seaweed powder, horn, dried blood, bat guano, palm tree ashes, worm compost) did the job and limited the nutrients need. So I don’t need a long flushing, minimum 10 days.
I installed some fly traps (yellow stickers system) used in organic culture and it’s working good; catching Fungus gnats.
One more time temperatures are freezing and we loose some degrees in the grow tent, but it’s correct and may be better to ending the flowering process,
