OVERALL OBSERVATIONS: Currently pretty hot in So Cal. Still running swamp cooler and fans at full blast.
Lights at 27" from top buds. Turning one light off and alternating to help mitigate heat.
Nice sticky buds fattening up on Platinum Purple. The pistils on this seem to emerge curled up, pop out and become glued down. Lotsa frosty dank goodness.
Some continued mild leaf burn issues so no nutrients except unsulfured molasses. I did some mild defoliation after photos to not hide anything.
PEST CONTROL: Sprayed soil only with neem/soap to discourage any continued pest issues.
Finally got a clip light so photos are all taken under incandescent lights.
WATERING: I finally got a PPM meter and found out my tap water is horrible (450-700 ppm) so I'm using bottled water from here on out until I get an RO filter or some other type of filter. Platinum Purple was wilting but recovered after some bottled water yesterday.
SMELL: Smells like weed in here! It smelled a bit like chicken shit for a couple days but now it smells like cannabutter. The Platinum Purple smells like musky grapes and hops.
@TheFairyBudMother, great stuff i'd love to start a worm farm just not yet... i think building your soil is the way to go.. but till then... i mix coco fiber with my canna soil 1:4 then add the scoops of mycorrhizae needed and voila my gurlz drink like champions!! :) hopefully it'll work for others!
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I rewatched the videos. That guy repeats himself a lot! But it makes more sense now. It's very overwhelming to take in all the little details of cannabis cultivation when you're just starting.
Thanks for your help. I can't wait to grow again but it will have to wait about a month. In the meantime if I have time and energy, I may cook my own soil mix, and I am definitely starting a worm farm.
Fairy bud mother where have you been my whole life? I've been searching for my bud mother lol jkjk but on a real note I like your style, your buds look beautiful! Smoke the bomb stay calm and grow on chika 😉
