Autopot recommends 1100ppm in flowering, and my system's been at just over 700ppm, so I'm raising the strength of my feed. I changed the reservoir, and increased the levels to around 850ppm. I'll stay there for a week, and then try to top off at 1000ppm. These plants are showing no signs of wanting more, but I want to maximize bud size, so here we are...tinkering.
The first signs of bud swelling are starting to appear. A couple of the tops are starting to take on a more rounded, full shape. This is a good sign. While these plants are beautiful, resin-packed, stink machines, their node spacing is far apart. Just like with the Truffaloha, we're looking at a sexy mid-sized nugs, and not huge colas, which is fine by me. These are for my consumption, and what I want are the most resin packed nugs I can grow. I think these ladies will not dissapoint ;)
And, we're now at the end of the week and the reservoir is at 1000ppm. I don't think we're going higher next week, but I've been wrong before. I'm happy with where the buds finished this week. They put on size and that's all we can ask.
The Hawaiian Lion is the frostiest and the best producer. The others are not too far off, though, and they seem to want to compete. The stunted chimera is showing signs of frost, but no signs of its buds fattening quite yet. She has decent numbers of pistols, and all mostly white, so there is still hope for a late finish out of her and I'd say the arrow is pointing up.
On the last day of the week, and on the bottom third of the Hawaiian Lion, I spotted a tiny, sparkling, purple flower. And then I spotted no more than four more. If this is a sign for what is to come for this one, HOLY SHIT is it going to be disgusting?!
@Don_Vitamini, Thanks for pointing that out, but thankfully it's not. Just weird camera focus with quite a similar shape and color. Had me scared there for a minute ;) I'll post a follow-up of that same site.
You've got yourself a fantastic run man, Beleaf genetics can be rewarding if done right, and you got it right, rock on ,wish there was smellivision lol !!
