Dear diary,
Week 14 overall and week 5 of flower is behind us.
The plants continue to progress in their flowering stage, and I'm closely monitoring their development and making necessary adjustments to optimize growth.

⏰ Day 95
Feeding with a solution strength of 1.69ms and pH adjusted to 5.7.
I made some adjustments to the nutrient ratios by increasing A+B to 3.5ml/l. WC #1 is still exhibiting steady growth at approximately 1cm per day. I'm hopeful that she will cease growing vertically soon, aligning with the rest of the plants.
⏰ Day 96
Feeding with a solution strength of 1.69ms and pH set to 5.8.
I performed some defoliation, primarily targeting the larger fan leaves to create more space within the canopy.
⏰ Day 97
Feeding with a solution strength of 1.67ms and pH adjusted to 5.9.
Encouragingly, WC #1 appears to have finally ceased growing vertically, maintaining a height of 94cm since the measurement taken two days ago.
⏰ Day 98
Feeding with a solution strength of 1.67ms and pH at 6.0.
⏰ Day 99
Feeding at a solution strength of 1.61ms and pH set to 5.8. As I ran out of Bud Candy, I switched to Royal Sugar as an alternative.
Additionally, I performed a modest round of light defoliation, primarily focusing on the lower, smaller fan leaves.
⏰ Day 100
Feeding at a solution strength of 1.61ms with pH adjusted to 5.9.
⏰ Day 101
Feeding at a solution strength of 1.65ms with pH set to 6.2.
I slightly increased the light intensity to achieve levels between 700-900ppfd.
The environmental conditions are maintaining a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius with 55% relative humidity when the lights are on and 20 degrees Celsius with 52% relative humidity during the lights-off period.
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.
