Dear diary,
Week 12 in total and week 3 of flower is behind us.
Still mourning the loss of the hermie but we move on!
Did a heavy defoliation on day 21 of flower, but otherwise its been fairly steady with just smaller adjustments to the environment and feeding rations.

⏰ Day 81:
Feeding in the evening with a solution strength of 1.67ms and a pH of 6.0.
Adjusted the height of the light to ensure it falls within the appropriate intensity range (750-850ppfd/30-38dli) to prevent light tips on the top leaves.
⏰ Day 82:
Evening feeding with a solution strength of 1.67ms and a pH of 6.1.
⏰ Day 83:
Feeding in the evening using a solution strength of 1.66ms and a pH of 6.3.
The plants are healthy and displaying steady growth. The stretch phase appears to be slowing down.
⏰ Day 84:
Feeding during the evening with a solution strength of 1.66ms and a pH of 6.4.
Due to a drop in relative humidity (RH) outside, the RH inside the tent is now at 45-50% during lights-off and 50-55% during lights-on. Temperature ranges around 20°C during the lights-off period and 24°C during the lights-on period.
⏰ Day 85:
Evening feeding with a solution strength of 1.67ms and a pH of 6.1.
As vertical space becomes limited, I am planning to perform the day 21 strip to remove unwanted offshoots and fan leaves.
⏰ Day 86 (Day 21 Flower):
Feeding in the evening with a solution strength of 1.67ms and a pH of 6.2.
As planned, conducted heavy defoliation to open up the canopy and remove low-growing foliage.
⏰ Day 87:
Feeding during the evening with a solution strength of 1.66ms and a pH of 5.9.
Adjustments to the nutrient regimen were made, reducing A+B nutes to 3ml/l, adding Green Sensation at 1ml/l, and discontinuing the use of Power Roots and Pure Zym. Bud Candy continues to be used at 1ml/l.
The plants are healthy, showing no signs of stress, and there are no apparent signs of nanners.
Temperature ranges between 23-24.5°C with lights on and 20-21°C with lights off. RH levels are fluctuating but remaining within the range of 50-60%.
Fantastic work! I'm a newbee. One question. Day 139 reads:- WC #3: 95% cloudy, 4% amber, 1% clear. And Day 142:- 99% cloudy - so would that be 1% amber? Thanks and well done.
@Xilpa, thanks man! This was just my 2nd grow as well so I would put myself in the newbee category as well to be fair haha
But yeah so by day 142, they were about 99% cloudy with 1% amber.
I do understand that it can sound a bit weird as I had 4% amber in a previous day, but it’s as the previous days I was just looking at the tops, and for the last check I gave a estimate more looking across the entire plant. So the very tops were probably at 5-10% amber, but at the bottom it was basically 0, so averaged out to about 99% cloudy.
I otherwise just focus on getting rid of almost all the clear, and I have a tolerance for about 10-15% max of amber, so I cut when either:
1. Less than 1% clear or
2. Over 90% cloudly and 10-15% amber.
