BLOOM WEEK 9 (Apr 9-15)
------------------------------------------
_________
Apr 9
• No water
Flushing continues for the Ethos clones this week and begins for BS9s. Plain tap water pH adjusted to 6.3. I'll harvest around day 63 for the cuts and day 70 for the rest.
_______________
Apr 10 (10L) PM
• 0.3 EC / 6.3 pH
• Runoff 0.3 EC (clones)
• Runoff 1.0 EC (BS9)
Banana Daddy#5 looks exactly the same as last time. There's massive looking mains but you can tell they aren't dense. Slight foxtailing going on as well. Both threw out some bananas, I've just been plucking them before they open.
Between the 10th Planets, #7 (leafier) is the terpiest. Really loud artificial grape nose. #6 leans to the gassier side and looks much more dense and frosty.
BS9s both look very dense and completely covered in trichomes. Branches are leaning all over the place. The majority of pistils are still white with only a few turning red on some of the flowers. Random amber trichomes but way more clear. Will absolutely go 70 days.

• Water only 6.3 pH
• Runoff 0.3 EC
Two 5 gallon pails produced 1 pail of runoff. I plan to put another few gallons through this weekend before changing over to distilled water for the final flush. I'll keep the BS9s on tap water until the end of week 10.

Apr 14 (10-12L) PM
• Distilled water flush (0.1 EC/6.0 pH)
• Runoff 0.2 EC
• Runoff BS9s 0.4 EC
Distilled water was 9.0 pH so I added 2-3 drops of pH down...went to 3.4. Had to add tap water to get back to 6.0 pH and that moved the EC from 0 to 0.1.
Humidity has been in the 40-45% range for a while with temps 23-25c. VPD can be a touch high, at times over 1.7 kpa. I think average has been about 1.34, lowest at night around 1.1.
10th Planet #7 is the only plant that isn't really fading yet. There's a few random leaves that have yellowed but nothing like the others. Might let it go the 10th week idk...really haven't seen anything like this before. The other clones are pretty much ready.

Apr 15 (4L) AM (Day 63)
• Distilled water only (9.0 pH)
• Runoff 0.2 EC
• Pulled BD5s/10ths out of the room
After 75L over two weeks, the EC is down to 0.2. I could probably try to get it to zeros but I'm not buying any more distilled water. It's lower than any of my previous flushes so we'll see how the ash looks this time.
I'm leaving the 4 plants I moved out in a dark area for the next 24 hrs before I cut them down and hang them up. Fans on low speed moving air around the room. Humidity is around 55% and temps at 17c. I overdryed last time so this time I'm guessing 7-10 days to dry instead of 14-21.
Nice shades of purples and greens and a tropical aroma going on. The smell was really strong when I was moving them around. Bitchslap still has a fair amount of clear trichomes. They have the room to themselves for the next week as flushing continues.
