White Widow Autoflowers - round #2

THURSDAY 10/18: I rotated them and gave them each about 3/4 gallon of full-strength bloom nutes plus extra boomerang. I also added GH's Armor Si to the mix to try to deal with the heat and ph stress from last week. I will continue supplementing with it from now on since I can't be trusted to provide stable PH and comfortable temperatures for my ladies. 😟 FRIDAY: Added silica to the foliar spray and am lightly spraying everybody several times per day..max ventilation and airflow to avoid rot. SATURDAY: Rearranged everybody and took some photos 😻 ..continuing light foliar spray as often as I can SUNDAY: Still lightly spraying with silica whenever I pass by the tent. A couple of them are looking a little better, but the damage was done on few of them...not likely to green back up, and the leaf loss will decrease their energy even further. They should still be able to swell up pretty good. I swapped out the 1500w light for my 2000w blurple light in the big tent today, but besides being off from 6pm til midnight, I set the timer for it to also shut off for an hour mid-day so as to manage temps a little better. I am ordering a 4th Exhale bag today too. Maybe that will help to mitigate the high temps. MONDAY: Pipsqueak is fully in the harvest window. She's got about 75% cloudy and 10% amber trichs. I'll start flushing her tomorrow. TUESDAY: I flushed Pipsqueak(WW#8) with 3 gallons of ph'd spring water and bud candy. I'll let her dry out for a few days and do it again with plain ph'd spring water. Then a few days later I'll put her in the dark for a night and kill her the next day. WW#6 looks really bad... she's so pale all over. Her buds aren't ready yet, but she's not likely to have the energy to do much more. Not sure why she was so adversely affected from the mistreatment of the past two weeks and the other WW's not nearly as badly. I'll check her trichs again tomorrow. I finally received the quantum board I ordered last month. It's just a single board with 288 x LM301b's running at 120w, but I replaced one of my Citizen Clu048 COBs with it, so it's a net gain of 20w, with a considerably reduced heat signature. A win. I love it, and will endeavor to save up to replace my big blurple with one of these bad boys: http://www.r2thk.com/QB288-V2-Samsung-lm301B-SK-full-spectrum-Quantum-Board-600W-LED-Grow-Light-with-XPE-660nm-for-hydroponic-system-growing-pd6850328.html WEDNESDAY: It was a frustrating week with the heat issues and slow recovery from the ph issues the week before, but they're finishing the week looking pretty good. 4 gallons of ph'd water with full-strength bloom nutes, plus a little extra boomerang, extra terpinator and bud candy, and Calimagic and Armor Si - split between WW#3, WW#4, WW#5, WW#6, and WW#7.
