1/11 The reservoirs were swapped out with fresh nutrients and topped off at 5.8PH. I will give them another day or two before flushing I think. The smell is currently fantastic
1/12 There really isn't much to do with these girls anymore other than PH every day and make sure their water levels are consistent to maintain their nutrient levels. Tomorrow I will begin the Flushing
1/13 I decided on one more day of nutrients. I Topped off the Reservoirs and adjusted their PH's to 5.8 as usual. I cleaned out the tent today as well. I can't wait to harvest these buds they are looking great.
1/14 Today is Flushing Day! I will flush them for about 6 days which is very fairly long for a typical DWC grow. I will only PH the water from here on out.
1/15-19 I Flushed these plants while maintaining a stable PH and humidity the best I could. The water level is not important during this because without nutrients you don't need to worry about ratios as long as you just keep the PH stable you will be fine. With a longer flush like this one, you should expect to see death in leaves its ok. I only did this for life reasons, I suggest a 3-5 day flush in DWC.
These plant's Trichomes matured fast and harvest time approached quickly. The smell in the tent is very potent and gloves are going to be an absolute must on this chop! I will be hang drying the plants inside the dark grow tent with ventilation to maintain humidity levels. I don't personally have a preference between a slow or fast drying process. This time I will be looking at 3-5 days of hang drying before chopping them into jars for a few weeks of cure using Boveda packs. I'm very pleased with the bud color and smell even though the overall weight will be less than desired I will be growing this strain again immediately. There isn't too much more to add to this week other than the grow is complete and the Dry/Cure process is all that is left. Be sure to look out for the harvest update with the final weight and smoke test!

@HighTV, someone give this man the DOTM trophy now. Gorgeous plant, awesome read and excellent resultsπππ. Been a minute bud and best of luck this month. You deserve a win for all this work!π
@Silverback_Guerilla, @TheBudWhisperer, @bulbi, -
I tried doing this review at harvest time, but the first bong rip put me into a comma π The long cure is the secret with these buds anyway π
@HighTV, yeah none of the hydro shops around here carry great white so Iβll 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? Iβm 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?π
@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 - didnβt see it in the nute details. Ur keepn it pretty simple eh? And whatβs the diff with great white and Hydroguard? Iβve heard botanicare ainβt 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! π

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 - whatβs the name of that background tune in your vid? Gonna grab me some of that tooπππ
@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 π
@Silverback_Guerilla, I was actually peeping your grow for comparison reasons the other day π 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! π
Thanks for stopping by @Budcrack grab a seat and welcome to the diary π Time will tell but i would be lying if i said week 7 isn't looking good so far π
@HappyGrower, Thanks a bunch! I sure do hope so π 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 π
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 broππππ
