At the beginning of this week I did a very minor defoliation/lollipop as well as started training the branches under the first SCROG net. I also flipped her to flower this week. She is growing very well with no visible issues.
Now that we are in spring and will be entering summer shortly, the temps and humidity have shot up pretty significantly. I'm not too worried about the temps, but the humidity is a huge issue. Now that the plants have been getting big and the humidity has been rolling in, I've been getting up to 75% RH in my tent during lights off some rainy nights! This is an issue, but it will become a major issue later in flower if not handled. Unfortunately I have little tools or methods to lower RH outside of a decent dehumidifier, and I don't think that will work as its too big to place in the tent and I'm not growing in small room.
I will most likely be forced to do a heavier defoliation to lower the tent's RH and to get some better airflow towards the bottom of the plant. I'm a bit concerned with this as I don't want to stress the plants out too much and cause some sort of issue. I can't just fix nutrient deficiencies quickly as I'm organic and I don't want to have to risk a deficiency by taking off too many leaves. I'm still relatively new to organic growing so I'm still feeling out how charged my soil is at any given time.
I'm going to give her a heavy feeding of craft blend tomorrow as well as a compost tea. Started brewing up a batch today with 2 tbsps of molasses, 1 tsp of craft blend, and 2 cups of worm castings and will be feeding them tomorrow. Hopefully the soil is charged enough that I don't have any deficiency issues going into flower.
No pistils yet, but pretty rapid growth starting. Expecting to see pistils form next week.
Good luck with the grow,looking awesome so far.
I'm just growing the same strain at the moment. I'll follow along for sure , can't wait to see how they turn out.
Amazing diary!
I'm growing this strain and i'm loving it so far, what a smell.
You've done an amazing jog with the ScrOG and controling the height!
Congrats!
@Gold1, definitely out of this world, I can only describe as Sweet Orange Cake.π Me too, I have some beans left but I will keep them until i got a mother tent, it's a keeper for sure!
Thank you! I hope too π I will look forward to see your next grow!πͺ
@NAS_Garden, Thank you so much for the kind words! The smell really is out of this world, right? Definitely a keeper in retrospect and I regret not cloning her. Still got a few beans left though :D.
Good luck with your girl, hope you crush it friend πͺπ
I have seen a few good lemon orange grows thus far and it has me thrilled. Just finally got 10 Lemon Orange seeds after trying to buy them for almost a year with no success. Good shit man!
