BLOOM WEEK 6 (Mar 19-25)
--------------------------------------------
Week 6 starts with an EC boost. Mixing full strength produces an EC of 3.1-3.3 so I'm diluting to 2.7-2.9 EC and pH to 6.0. Runoff is around 5 EC right now.

Plants seem to be drinking less now. Taking longer than usual to dry back. Could be the high root zone EC or just the plant maturity. There's very minor yellowing on some of the top leaf tips but nothing else suggesting overfeeding.
Remo's nutrient chart has week 7 as the last week to feed so I'm following that. Buds aren't getting bigger after week 7 anyway so I'll just use plain water through weeks 8 and 9 while they ripen up.
10th Planet #6 looks much more dense than the previous run. 10P7 looks leafy again, but with much less larf. Banana Daddy #5 has these big lofty colas like last time so we'll see how dense they end up being. I'm not holding my breath there. BS9s are very frosty and like glue if you touch them.
Next week I'll try to drop the temperature and humidity a bit to 75F day 65F night / 45%. VPD has been a touch high (1.6-1.85 kpa) the last few days as humidity in the whole house has been flattened by a cold snap outside. Buckets of water helped a bit. Should be easy to get lower temps and humidity by just running the extractor non-stop on a low speed.
