Dear diary,
Week 6 has come and gone. They have shown resilience and are progressing steadily despite the slight variation in their development.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
⏰ Day 39:
In the evening, I provided a feeding session with a nutrient strength of 1.61ms and a pH level of 5.9.
⏰ Day 40:
Administered a feeding with a nutrient strength of 1.57ms and adjusted the pH to 6.2. It's worth noting that W.C #1 is lagging behind the other plants, which has been a recurring trend.
To promote balanced growth, I will continue to monitor and adjust accordingly.
⏰ Day 41:
During the evening feeding session the plants received a nutrient solution with a strength of 1.57ms and a pH level of 6.0.
Additionally, I rotated the pots slightly to introduce some variation and encourage even development.
⏰ Day 42:
I provided the plants with a feeding containing a nutrient strength of 1.57ms and a pH level of 5.9.
Despite the earlier topping, the plants have recovered well. However, I decided to allow the eight main tops to grow out a bit further before the final topping, aiming for a total of 16 tops per plant.
⏰ Day 43:
During the evening feeding session, I adjusted the nutrient strength to 1.64ms and maintained the pH at 6.2. As they are giving off a lot of runoff, I reduced the feeding amount to 1 liter per plant instead of the usual 1.5 liters.
⏰ Day 44:
Administered a feeding with a nutrient solution of 1.64ms and adjusted the pH to 6.4.
⏰ Day 45:
During the evening feeding session, I provided the plants with a nutrient solution at a strength of 1.64ms and adjusted the pH to 6.1.
Additionally, I implemented some low-stress training (LST) to spread out the eight main tops and ensure even canopy development.
I am noticing that the relative humidity (RH) had risen slightly, approaching 70% due to local weather conditions. To maintain an optimal environment for the plants, I turned on a dehumidifier to bring the RH back to around 60%.
I'm excited to see how the plants will respond to the LST and look forward to the next phase of topping as they continue to flourish.
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.
