Another week down and both the Strawberry Cheesecake and Northern Lights are maturing nicely, They are both putting on some weight. If the Strawberry Cheesecake throws any more weight on the main cola I'll have to support it as it's already starting to bend due to the weight. Watered both ladies again with only dechlorinated tap water pH'd to 6.5.
Northern Lights has a handful of amber trichomes and is really starting to turn to a nice purple. Strawberry Cheesecake is filled with cloudy trichomes but still has a few clear. Seems like both plants could benefit for going close to another 2 weeks, still looking to harvest on day 90 as long as the signs are there.
Been pretty much smooth sailing from here until harvest, environment has been pretty much on point.
Super fuckin stoked
Lookin juicy. Keep it up, almost there. Good call on ignoring that dude. I did some of the things he mentioned (not per his advice) and saw nothing but problems. Any βproblemsβ your plants are displaying arenβt even problems. Iβm psyched to see your first harvest πͺ
@WatercanWampa, Thanks! I've been having some issues lately that seem to be turning around with my 1st feeding. I am definetly dedicated to these ladies.
Plants look great for a first grow. Good job. Enjoy the flowers from your labor. Only thing I seen you might wanna watch for in future grows. When your leaf tips turned brown, and curled up and in. This is nutrition burn. In you case I think it was probably not enough irrigation when you fed them. The substrate likely had some build up from old nutrition, which caused the burning. I have done the same thing myself before. A good way to monitor it is to test the ph of your run off. Anyway, just hopefully a helpful observation. Again, awesome 1st grow. ππ»π
@Roberts, My media also contains dolomite lime, so I'm thinking that's countering the pH drop while still seeing a high TDS? I'm clearly no expert but sounds like it makes sense. I also ran a feed/feed/flush schedule, which in my next run I think I prefer the feed/flush. I appreciate the feedback and agree.
@B_Content,just trying to help your next grow be that much better is all. Good luck. Usually the high tds sends the ph down a lot is why I say what I did. π±ππ»
@Roberts, Thanks growmie. I actually agree with you 100% I believe it started in week 3. I actually had to pay more attention to my runoff TDS compared to my runoff pH. Not sure if it was the meter or what, but my pH never deviated more than .5 wound up calibrating a completed different TDS and pH pens and pH was still in range, while TDS on the otherhand was ridiculously high. Finally got a watering amount and frequency down. Thanks for stopping by!
