Week 10 / Flower Week 6: Day 67 to 73
In the past few weeks, I have made a few changes:
-Lowered the day/night temperature from 24.5/23 to 22/19 degrees Celsius
-Instead of using Plagron Alga Bloom, I now only use Plagron Green Sensation. Green Sensation does not contain nitrogen, so eventually, the nitrogen should run out.
-I am gradually removing all the fan leaves.
Background:
-Temperature: According to various studies, higher temperatures may increase growth but at the cost of terpenes. ~22 degrees Celsius seems to be the sweet spot for preserving most terpenes while maintaining growth.
-Nitrogen deficiency/defoliation: Terpenes/THC are partially byproducts of the cannabis plant's defense mechanism. Targeted stress can promote this.
Day 67: I am quite happy with the bud formation. In my opinion, the terpenes still look quite clear, so I will wait a bit longer before harvesting.
Cool stretching, well done. Note that the leaves are yellowish, which looks like N deficiency. Consider adding more fertilizer🤙 And the pH is too high, because of this, fertilizers may not be absorbed, I would advise you to level it to 6.3-6.5, otherwise there may be problems later
@DavidRayMan, thanks! I am adding a lot of N with the Sugar Royal. I am also using the Plagron Royalmix with the advised nutirent schedule, which explicitly mentions that is not necessary to adjust ph. Your Papaya looks indeed a lot greener. Let's hope it is just picture quality :)
@Lemonhazelover, it is one of those cheap chinese ones for your mobile phone (APEXEL 200). But i wouldn‘t recommend it. You have to get pretty close to your flower to get any picture at all. Basically touching it.
