Day 99: New Week
We've decided against using additional nutrients and have completely stopped fertilizing. The light cycle has been reduced to 11 hours, and we're already starting to give them cooler water. Starting Monday, I will be watering with ice water to stress the plants further, aiming for higher yield, more terpenes, and increased frost. The adjustment to the light cycle should also help the plants ripen evenly.
The lights are hanging about 20 cm above the buds, which are getting thicker every day, soaking up the light intensely. In about a week, most of the plants should be ready for harvest. We plan to stop watering them for about 100 hours before harvest. During this period, I'll place ice cubes on the soil to shock the roots one last time.
48 hours before harvest, I will turn off the lights, giving the plants two days of darkness. After this period, the plants will be cut and hung to dry.
Congrats on your first grow! It looks like your lights are too close. The plants look miniaturized because they want the lights to be backed off, that way they can grow up towards them more .. I run my 350watt LED lights 40+ inches away all during veg
@OrganicChronic, Thanks for the congrats and the tip! 🌿 I'll try backing the lights off a bit to give the plants more room to grow upwards. I'll adjust mine and see how it goes. Appreciate the advice!
Ich mache auch grad meinen ersten Indoor Grow, bin super gespannt. Hab meine schon etwas Entlaubt etc ich werde deins auch mal weiter verfolgen sind in der ähnlichen Woche ;)
@WeedleyScott, Deine Pflanzen sehen auch echt schön aus werde ich auch mal verfolgen, denkst du ich sollte auch schonmal etwas Entlauben? Also vereinzelte Blätter, die sehr nah am Boden waren, habe ich bereits entfernt als sie sich gelb verfärbt haben.
@Sejanus21, Danke! Ja, die Begeisterung ist definitiv groß. 😄 Die SF 1000 ist wirklich eine gute Lampe, und du hast recht – dieses Hobby bringt den Perfektionisten in einem hervor. Immer auf der Suche nach dem Optimum!
