Week 3 of flower, time to dial back the hands-on part a bit.
- Major defoliation. More aggressive this time than last grows, I'll be more aggressive in making sure all bud sites stay in the light this time to try to reduce larf.
- Removed plant ring and all LST ties as they have done their bit
- Keeping with watering every day, 3 days with feed, one day without
- Adjusted light to keep at 700 PPFD at top of canopy and 24" of distance
- Runoff pH and PPM at 6.0 and 695 respectively
- Moved a fan lower in the tent to try to blow up through the plants to keep air moving. A second fan is blowing over the canopy
7/1/24
- Added scrog net. The mainline has created a great shape, but the net helps keep things supported and spread out at the canopy.
- Plucking a few leaves as the plant fills back in from the big defoliation. Going to be fairly aggressive here to make sure all of the bud sites stay in the light.
- Budlets developing well
- Stretch seems to be slightly slowing
- Runoff pH and PPM at 6.0 and 768
- PPFD at 700 at canopy
7/3/24
- Continuing to pluck leaves as they fill in and block light and air from bud sites, may need to do a little more clean up on the very bottom of the plant.
- Vertical stretch definitely starting to slow down
- Budlets continuing to develop nicely
- Runoff pH and PPM at 6.1 and 844
- PPFD at 700 at canopy
@Realtor_Red, Thanks! Getting close to the end, and I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. Learning some things for the next go, but this one is better than the last, so onward and upward! 😃
5/3/24
- First true leaves are out
- Humidity domes removed
- Light feeding started with General Hydroponics Flora Series
- Plant 1 looking OK
- Plant 2 bouncing back, still smaller than #1, but I'm more optimistic about it given how it looked when it emerged
- Maintaining daytime humidity in the mid 70's (F) and mid 60's (F)
- Humidity at 76% in tent
@Dabking, Thanks so much! This was a fun grow and I learned a lot along the way, I think there are some nice outcomes here. Please do stay tuned- the way Grow Diaries works, it looks like I can't add multiple weeks to document the drying and curing, but I'll keep updating this page as all of that goes along so people can see what the ultimate outcome and results are. Really looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!
@Legendaryseedthumb, Thanks very much! I think it turned out pretty well (we'll see after the dry and cure), but I also learned a lot along the way for the next one. Always trying to get better and get more knowledge. Thanks for checking out my diary!
