The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50Β° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil.
Day 1 we had lots of sunshine and a lite breeze. The soil began to dry out and I watered about 1.5 - 2 gallons per plant, from the water hose, that afternoon.
Day 2 we had rain early morning and showers throughout the day. The girls look like their roots found the iron I added last week.
Day 3 we had early morning rain, drizzle and showers in the afternoon. I added an additional 50ml of ferrous sulfate top dressed. I also spread just enough peat moss to cover the ferrous sulfate to prevent the rain from splashing it onto plants. Previously the rain splashed granules of ferrous sulfate onto the leaves, burning them. I used 50ml or 1.66ml/gallon of soil. as I've only got about 25 gallons of soil. I'm waiting to top off after this excessive rain is done.
Day 4 we had more rain, drizzle, and mist intermittently throughout the . The good news is the ferrous sulfate has lowered soil pH to 6.2 π. There's still a small excess of phosphorus, but the girls will grow into it.
Day 5 we had more rain. It rained all morning for about 8 hours. The pots are soaking wet.
Day 6 We missed the scattered showers but it's been 80-90% humidity all day. Even with the beautiful sunshine the soil isn't drying out. I'm looking at the nodes to see when I'll be topping.
Day 7 we had lots of sunshine and temps over 80Β°F. These girls are loving it. I'm looking at the 4th node to top. I'll wait for more stem above the 4th node.There needs to be enough stem above the node that it won't split as the branches grow heavy from large buds.
This week was a success. The girls more than doubled in height. They performed their job while battling excessive rain and winds. I'll be looking to top these girls and add soil to top off their pots next week. I'm hoping for less rain and more sunshine next week.
@Aedaone, it has a very unique flavor, kinda hard to describe it. I grew a couple of the autos and one of the photos and the flavor was consistant. And nice effects too. π
Looking real good..I like ur X page..good luck with the New PP from fb also. Gonna get de 5 Wen they message me
Have this WC FF in pre flower bout a wk. Great grower really tight inters..
Great looking grow. I'm growing one in a 20 gallon bag that has a thick stalk and is currently approaching approximately 8 feet. Unfortunately I had an issue with powdery mildew on the lower leaves at the end of July, which is very early and I rarely had with an outside photo and never that early. I thought it might be a weakness of the species. I see form your grow its probably just me.
@Oklahoma_Old_Turd, Thanks!! I had a bubblegum sherbet split where it was topped last year. I waited to long support the main branches above the split. Now I add one bamboo to connect to the main branches directly above the topping node. As they begin to add flower I'll ring the pots with hemp twine about 3' up. That has so far been enough support even in high winds.
@Jsanz52, yes I started these about as early as possible outdoors. Last year my FF began flower around the 4th week of July. Everything was a little earlier this year because they were older and bigger.
