Day 79: Second Grow
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.
@ErikoHashimoto, Thank you. The Giant Praying Mantis is named Pedro, which is why I go by that name on Growdiaries as well. Pedro will accompany me through a few grows, and you can follow along here to see how he grows and matures!
@@Butrub, Thank you! 😄 Yes, this is actually our first/second grow and we are really proud of the progress. These plants are only 20 days younger than the others, so it's great to hear they look so good.
We also faced some challenges, but Biobizz has worked well for us so far. Sorry to hear you had issues with it. Plagron is a great choice too! Every grow is different, and sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error to find the right setup. Good luck with your future grows!
