Hello Friends,
I’m sorry I haven’t updated you guys with information on the grow for this week. I have been seriously busy and on top of that I had left for a 2 day vacation only to find that my baby has stretched into the light 😱
This is really terrible because I lifted the light thinking the stretch would stop this week, but no!
I am almost completely out of space so fingers crossed 😬 it will stop stretching by the end of the week otherwise I’ll have to take measures that will hurt yield.
Also, I have been reading up on other people growing this strain and they were saying that it takes longer to flower than listed. So far no buds have started forming so I’m thinking that there should be the initial buds starting during the 5th week based on other journals I’ve seen.
I have been changing my nutes slowly to bloom nutes.
I purchased a new bigger fan to help tackle the heat atop of the canopy. This has helped reduce the humidity drastically to 50-60%.
It is also getting cold here in my area so the temperature has been more controlled.
I have also noticed water is being used at a rate of about 1 gal per day so I have to utilize my liquid transfer pump to put more water into the reservoir often.
At a point I noticed some leaves were getting slightly discolored. To combat this, I started delivering half nutes per gal and so far it has helped a lot!
Stay tuned to see what happens next!
Update 1: Looks like she is starting to slow down on stretching *fingers crossed*. I haven’t done any pruning or shaping. Just been bending and rearranging. I think I am going to try redirecting the angle on my LED lamp so I can hit bud spots that otherwise wouldnt have gotten any love. Hopefully this will make up for any los in yeild from stretch. I’m planning on redirecting the light every other day so each side can soak it up for at least 2 full days!
I've never known that in the last weeks they need less water, unless the temperature drops and they transpire less. As for humidity, during lights out it rises because most of the time the temperature drops during that time. Remember that RELATIVE HUMIDITY varies with temperature, since colder air has a lower due point, as the temporada drops the RH rises.
Looking good my friend . Hope all goes well with the grow. Interested in seeing how your scrog fills. I’m on my first grow trying to scrog. I’ll pull up a chair and follow.
@ROM101, thank you so much! Im not going to lie i read that about the strain too, but so far it looks loke i should have 1 week or 2 left so fingers crossed!
@Reaper, thanks for the suggestion, I’m planning to use a liquid transfer pump to get the water in and of the bucket. I’ll post a picture when I get a chance.
