Week 11, day 4. Chandler was thirsty so I watered the gals. I am having much happier looking plants since switching from fully distilled water to my basement tap water, supplementing the distilled (about an 80-20 mix, introduced gradually). I let water sit at least 2 days before using, and am seeing about an 8ph starting point, which gets right to the sweet spot once nutrients are added. So I think I like this watering strategy.
Damaged leaves did not improve so I trimmed them. Took some close up pics of the trichomes. I think harvest is near for Rachel. Chandler might need another week or 2. Amazing the differences in plants, same genetics, different growing conditions. I topped Chandler, and made an error in his lighting in the first half of the grow so he got lesser light than Rachel for most of his formative growth. Will be interesting to compare the harvests!
