12/14 All PH's adjusted to 5.6 and LST updated to give better light penetration. Bud development has begun to form on all plants now including the focus plant so I did some medium defoliation to start out the week. (Despite my attempts to slow the focus plant down with the she stretched through it anyway!)
12/15 Reservoir Swap on the 2 non-focus plants. They received only Bloom+Calmag+hydroguard for week 6, because they hate nitrogen and get nutrient burn easily. Of course all of the PHs have been adjusted to 5.8 like done daily.
12/16 Reservoir Swap on the Focus plant. Shes received only Bloom+Calmag+hydroguard for week 6, again because they hate nitrogen. All plants received an updated LST and a PH adjustment to 5.6, because its been climbing day to day.
12/17 I rotated the plants some to give a better stretch then adjusted the PH of all the reservoirs between 5.8 and 6. A small update to the LST and I maximized the height of the light so its not going up anymore. Topped off the reservoirs.
12/18 All reservoirs had their PH adjusted to 5.8 and I did an LST update like everyday. I am getting close to running out of PH test drops so I ordered more yesterday I might have to reservoir swap daily to maintain PH without being able to test it. yikes
12/19 The plants are looking healthy and the smallest plant has decided to start stretching more so that's good. The non-focus plants are clearly showing their purple phenotypes, but the focus plant is being stubborn.. or not purple.
12/20 Topped off and PHed Reservoirs to 5.8. I used my last drops of the PH testing fluid so I will be doing a reservoir swap tomorrow, really earlier, because I know the PH of my tap+nutrients. Then the PH testing fluid arrives the following day so we will be fine. Don't forget to reup your essentials!
Week 6 was a fantastic week of growth for the Focus plant especially. The other plants have really began to show their purple while our timelapse buddy is just a happy ol'e green plant. Perhaps this will change later in the flowering cycle. WE GOT A POLARIZED LENS just in time for us to increase the light to 750w, So now we can do the timelapse with a higher wattage of light and not get weird lines in the video! Overall this week was an 8/10 in terms of growth.😎
@HighTV, someone give this man the DOTM trophy now. Gorgeous plant, awesome read and excellent results👍👌😎. Been a minute bud and best of luck this month. You deserve a win for all this work!👊
@Silverback_Guerilla, @TheBudWhisperer, @bulbi, -
I tried doing this review at harvest time, but the first bong rip put me into a comma 😂 The long cure is the secret with these buds anyway 😍
@HighTV, yeah none of the hydro shops around here carry great white so I’ll be using a similar product out of British Columbia (hopefully it stands up). Question - is your calmag regimen standard across the board every week as a supplement? Or only to offset any early signs of notable issues? I’m running DWC next and figured I better have that addressed now. I generally run it straight through on coco but will likely be cutting it off for last couple weeks of flower. Thoughts?👊
@TheBudWhisperer, Ah good catch. I had to add a decimal for the Great white to show on the nutrients list (It should be showing now). Great White contains the same Beneficial bacteria as Hydroguard and many many more!
@HighTV, interesting - didn’t see it in the nute details. Ur keepn it pretty simple eh? And what’s the diff with great white and Hydroguard? I’ve heard botanicare ain’t selln it anymore as well.
what do you use to photo the trichomes man thats super awesome send a link so i can get one of them, im using a version of the carson microscopes and i cant get a good view of anything,
Hey there @FoxyLoxy! I am using this USB microscope I found on Amazon I linked below! Thanks for stopping by! 😎

They got nice and purple so I am very pleased haha! Thanks, This strain was a touchy one, but with the right nutrients, I think I can get it pretty plump! @Silverback_Guerilla,
@fiognarr, Do it! Its a very interesting experience. Its kind of neat being able to see the plants react well after I go in the tent and adjust the PH. You can see a full day in just 10 seconds and it really shows how much better the plant thrives after a PH fix.
Lookn great homie. Not gonna lie, this inspired a dwc for my next auto run (also fastbuds ironically enough). Question - what’s the name of that background tune in your vid? Gonna grab me some of that too😉👍👊
@Black_Magic, Thanks! I really only use GH Flora series with Calmag and hydroguard. Its all the DWC's work honestly. Im sure hydroguard is helping them of course 😎
@Silverback_Guerilla, I was actually peeping your grow for comparison reasons the other day 😋 I was curious what other people have experienced no color at this stage. Not many have this problem, but everyone who does ends up with some variation of Black/Purple/Pink so that was comforting. The Focus plant was groomed for success and took longer to enter Flower than the others as well so your are probably right and over the next week or two the colors will come out. Your colas are looking nice and thick by the way! 😎
Thanks for stopping by @Budcrack grab a seat and welcome to the diary 😇 Time will tell but i would be lying if i said week 7 isn't looking good so far 😋
@HappyGrower, Thanks a bunch! I sure do hope so 😋 Unfortunately I applied a SCROG so those root shots wont be possible anymore, but I'm sure the final weight will be worth it haha
Thanks a bunch Silky it means a lot!
Every time I do the LST all i'm thinking about is watching it back up for the light in the lapse. It really amazing me how much growth sneaks in on you in just a single weak.
Its mesmerizing 😍
Yeah dude the dopes lookn... dope! And again I gotta ask - what song is that in the timelapse vid? Gonna be picking that one up as well. In fact you should probably just flip me a playlist when u got the time! Lol - great diary, great tunes and great updates as always bro👍👌👊😎
