Dear diary,
Week 8 has passed and it’s been pretty smooth sailing as the final topping is done, with mostly management being needed as they recover before the flip.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
⏰ Day 53:
I administered a feeding with a nutrient strength of 1.65ms and adjusted the pH to 6.0. While attending to the plants, I tightened some of the ties on G.C #2, resulting in a more balanced appearance within the tent.
The overall growth is looking more consistent and promising.
⏰ Day 54:
During the evening feeding session the plants received a nutrient solution at a strength of 1.65ms and a pH level of 6.1.
Additionally, I increased the intensity of the lights from 45% to 50%, ensuring they receive adequate light for good growth.
⏰ Day 55:
I provided the plants with a feeding containing a nutrient strength of 1.65ms and a pH level of 6.1.
⏰ Day 56:
During the evening feeding session I adjusted the nutrient strength to 1.67ms and maintained the pH at 6.2.
I implemented further low-stress training on the plants. This also helped maintain consistent heights, with all plants in the tent now measuring around 23-24cm.
However, upon a late-night check-in at 00:00, I discovered that one of the tops on G.C #2 had snapped, and too much time had passed to repair it with tape. Consequently, she now has 15 tops instead of the intended 16.
Nonetheless, I am considering allowing an offshoot to grow from the remaining split that didn't snap, ensuring a balanced appearance and maximizing yield potential.
⏰ Day 57:
Provided a feeding session with a nutrient strength of 1.67ms and a pH level of 6.3.
⏰ Day 58:
During the evening feeding session, they were given a feeding with a nutrient solution at a strength of 1.67ms and adjusted the pH to 6.0.
⏰ Day 59:
Provided a feeding with a nutrient strength of 1.66ms and a pH level of 5.7.
Additionally, I conducted further LST on all the plants to spread out the tops and maintain consistent heights.
@DBQush, I guessed so, I'm using the same.
It's a good base for planning your own schedule.
Doing a bit of experiment and was wondering maybe adding my other ir/fr to the veg tent to see if I can get some stretching action going on..
Will be monitoring your diary closely, keep up the good work!
@Yebis42, I am basing it on the DLI per week that DeBacco University recommends in his video about DLI in relation to yields.
But it seems to match up with the same numbers that for example “Photone” recommends, as I also use their iOS app for the readings.
But ofc I just use these as a guideline and try and look at how the girls respond to each gradual increase as those numbers are if everything else is perfect.
I actually just backed down the lights again to 290ppfd as I was seeing some other issues and by lowering the light it should give them a easier time recovering.
Hey man, congrats for the harvest! I'm growing this strain too, week 4 flowering done. In my opinion is slower than I though, and I saw also your flowering stage was 9+ weeks (breeder says: 7 weeks flowering)
@DeepWaterGrower, thanks man! Yeah when they say 7 weeks, I don’t think they take the first “transition” week into account, and then call it done as soon as the harvest window opens.
But at least for me it make sense to push them for another week or two too get as much good shit as possible!
Either way I’m super happy the end result as this badboy really kicks your ass when smoking haha
@gaby_kicks, haha a 7/10 on my 2nd grow I will consider a compliment, so thanks man!
I do personally think the Wedding cheesecakes in the same grow turned out a bit bitter, but even with the Gorilla Cookies, super frosty and consistently dense buds in both the top and bottom off the canopy, leaves me quite happy.
Also helps that she netted just shy of 160g dry and smokes like a beauty!
Maybe one day you will start a diary here and show “how it’s done”, but until then, keep on keeping on haha
