12/16 day 36, watered bases. Going through 4-5 gallons of water a day. I have been watering the bases every 12 hours. Light still 50% 43-46 DLI.
12/17 day 37, watered bases. Defoliated leaves blocking bud sites and the underside of the canopy for better airflow.
12/18 day 38, watered bases.
12/19 day 39, watered bases. Wired tops down to the net to even out canopy. Removed a few more leaves blocking bud sites. Noticed some yellowing on leaf tips, calibrated ph pen and raised light another inch.
12/20 day 40, watered bases. Watered 16oz recharge. Defoliated leaves blocking bud sites.
12/21 day 41, watered bases.
12/22 day 42, watered bases.
@Golden, thank you, my next ones after this are purple lemonade, wedding cheesecake, gorilla cookies, and banana purple punch. The wife picked this one and I'm down with it.
@Dana488, I start on day 5, using 16oz per plant once a week. I think my dosage may be off in the diary, I'll change it. I've been doing 1/2 tsp per 1/2 gallon every Wednesday.
I fed these ones super early on day 5 with dry nutrients and they didn't burn. Day 39 I went super hard and used a full recommended dose and they showed leaf burn ever since.
They can take more DLI in late flower than recommended too without any extra leaf burn. I think im sitting at 62 or 68 DLI since day 59 when only 45 is recommended for autos in late flower without co2.
I checked trichomes yesterday and there's 0 amber so it's looking like 70-77 days minimum. I just wish I would have increased my light power sooner since they aren't as dense as I want them to be right now.
So far no setbacks and the trichome terps smell insane.
