Starting week 3 with lst and fert on the 2 bigger plants, the strawnana and one BB. Watering every 3 days
Overall doing good, cut 2 mutated leaves from BB3.
Day 17: next watering with fert on all plants the smallest half dose. Now starting lst on the small plants as well.
Day 19: lst on all plants. Looking good so far
Day 21: the next watering will be with the full fert cycle starting week 4. Plants are bouncing back from lst.
Day 23: leaf tucking, defoliation and more lst.
Day 25: Very hot week, hitting 29°C but the plants are still growing fine
Day28: sign of flowering, BB3 still small but growing. Slowly increasing water and fertilizers.
This week it’s time for some early flower defoliation/lollipopping.
Day30: bouncing back from defoliation.
Day35: lollipopping done on all plants, considering giving away a plant for space.
Time to install the filter in a few days.
BB3 flowering now 1 week behind.
Humidity starting to become an issue, upgrading fan and improving air circulation
Day39: leaves tips are yellowing a bit, not sure if is nutrient burn or light burn
Day40: filter installed
Day42: growth, still monitoring the yellow tips
lil tip burn is no big deal. generally healthy plants in the pictures. I'm guessing they are more lush in RL as opposed to the lighter green we see under grow lights (safe assumption).
i'd wager you recently switched to a "bloom" formula. So, it's most likely p or k is a bit too high. if it doesn't progress no big deal. if it does, consider dialing down any changes to the formula that were recently made anytime in the last 3-4 weeks. slow rolling tox/def is much preferred problem. it often takes a long time for an imbalance to play out and be visible. when it happens quickyl it's an absolute catastrophe in regard to formula lol.
Starting week 7 and I can’t wait for the harvest, plants are doing good. Still monitoring the yellow tips. Cut Calmag and use if needed
Smallest plant flowering now.
Day45: bud development. Yellowing if not getting better is not worsening at least.
BB3 and BB1 are a week behind I’d say.
Day46: more defoliation and lst to open the plants a bit
Die Blätter richten sich immer nach dem Optimalen Einstrahlwinkel der Photonen und dem Platz der zur Verfügung steht. Ist alles ganz normal, so bekommt sie mehr Energie als wenn sie die Blätter nach unten hängen lassen würde ;)
It was very hot in the past week with temperatures reaching 32°C in the tent. I was worried about heat stress. This week I’ve been more careful about the light height since the plants are still growing upwards, but there is a big heat wave next week in my area.
As curving the heat. Don't worry to much about it in flowering with added co2 you'll be good. Then for mid late ripening lower your light right down as you need a lot less strength for ripening. Also, if u hv a clip fan blow it at your light/driver it'll drop ur temp 3-5c
Day51: flowers are getting bigger, leaves tips are still under control. The environment is getting hotter and hotter due to the heatwave but the plants are holding on.
Day55: i was not home for 3 days but the plants were fine, just thirsty, hot and with some gnats due to being closed for so long.
Day67: the biggest plant in the middle (BB2) is going to get one last watering with nutes and then I’ll do a 2 week flush, not sure about the strawnana and the experiment one, maybe one more week for them and then a flush. For the 2 plants behind they will probably finish in a month.
Day70: checked the trichomes of the two bigger plants and I’ll start flushing, hope they come out great
Looking at your diary 26/6 seems 1st week of flower. Up to today that's 6 week. That would be a very fast bloom phase. Especially for a sativa dom. Use breeders timescale as a rough guide.
1. Trichome colour on buds is best indication
Pistil hairs, the fade and firmness of buds all help. Firming up is what they do in final weeks so early would Rob you this. Feel em. Are they firm enough?
What I meant with flushing was giving just water for 1-2 weeks and not do a “proper” flush, my bad. I prefer more a cerebral high so I don’t want to push the buds too long and get to many amber trichomes. So I’ll fed the more mature plants with water only for a week and see
Yeah good one buddy :)
Looks pretty good so far - I suggest you to check trichs more on the stigmata itself rather than on sugar leaves (bc there its far more developed than on the buds itself) and make sure to check top/middle/bottom one :)
I feel flushing - I did the same just for one week now even though Im doing organic run. But when it comes to quality and smoother smoke experience (not that harsh) it should be perfect. I as well do Ice flushing ( u can check my last week on my current grow) kinda giving a lot of ice cubes inside the pots. Giving plants a hard shock and telling them the end is near (in nature like frost is coming) and put plants under 48hrs of darkness. Bc during the night they usually producing most of the trichs and this hand in hand with the ice flush I experienced solid outcome so far.
Maybe u can try this as well if you are up to buddy :) u can also write me DM if you have any further questions
cant wait for your harvest :)
Day74: Started feeding water to all plants but the BB1 who is a little behind.
Chopped the BB2 main cola as it was getting amber trichomes and chopped the experiment plant as well. Let’s see how it goes
I used to, but found the metabolic shock this causes, causes poor ripening of the remaining flowers, which then never turn out as good as the first pick.
These days I just harvest the whole plant at once and take it as it comes.
Day91: 72h of darkness and they all be chopped.
Harvested and jarred the experiment grow (the plant was rescued then topped) 21g total. Not bad all things considered. I think I can get 100g with the whole grow
Chop day: 31/8 day 96. Plants are drying in the tent at 25ºC and 61%RH
