Fatkid's cake first grow

groen After 8 weeks of veg flipped to flower. Due to winter temperatures I had a lot of issues and killed 4 plants during veg :(

groen Stable week after adding a heating bar in the growbox

groen Adjusted pH down to 5.9 as recommended by nutrient supplier. Flower developments seems to go well for top buds. Did a last defoliation and re-applied some of the mainlining ties, removed a lot of lower bush that did not receive any light.

groen The ladies are flowering nicely and response well to feeding each other day. Think I did some defoliation by the end of the week

groen Reduced watering to each other day, plants look healthy and the buds are swelling up nicely. A bit of purple color popped up on one plant after ~ 16.3c at night after 23.2 avg day? :) Did a light defoliation for some more airflow by the end of the week

groen This week was not great, I managed to over-feed, at the start of the week which caused stress and leaf burn, over-water mid week when trying to flush.. and over-dry the plants later that week ..this obv caused a lot stress for the ladies, and me as well. To top it off my Aquamaster tools p110 pH meter broke down. Also noticed a few buds that perhaps have rot.. keeping an eye on those

groen Week 7 I started to flush, no pH meter available so using plain water with some lemon juice to lower pH somewhat.. Think I had to remove 2 or 3 of the biggest buds that were rotting and thereafter ensured H% was lower for the remainder of the grow.

groen Week 8 we are still flushing with tap water. I had to remove some main cola's as there was rot. Decided to give it a few more days before harvest and stopped watering last day of week 8

groen Third day of week 9 I cut the ladies down, as I didn't want to risk more bud rot, and hang em to dry for 11 days at 16c / ~H60%. After curing for two more weeks in a grovebag and hand trim, the end result (of what was left..) are a really nice frosty buds with a sour/fruity taste and mellow high. My main takeaways to improve on for next grow are: - Utilize lightning less passively for vigorous grow during veg - Improve airflow with clipfan(s) or such - Control H% during flower (especially at night) with a dehumidifier - Start (really) hot during flower around 30c and end colder
