Week 8: Well, this week begins with a good feeling..I can finally see trich developing fast Also buds are fattening up quite a bit, and I feel relieved. I now fully understand why "patience" is key. Well aware there's still more way to go, nevertheless feels like I haven't f*ed up so far, and that's good. I am now dreaming of fat buds. I have started watering more frequently, as temps rise and the soil dries up quite faster. I also have reduced by half the amount of bio-grow and replaced it with extra ml in bio-bloom and top-max. I re-upped the light intensity, tidied up the inside of the tent, readjusted the fans, and I can now maintain a steady 29 C both day and night. Ideally would love to drop to 25 C but mind you, today 6/13/24 we had 43 C outside. It's hell. 29 C is just fine.
@Marshydrots1000, hey thanks for checking it out! I checked out your diaries, doing an amazing job. Any tips you would have on lowering the temperature?
Day 42 and you talking bout harvest? My friend. Chill chill chill. Focus on feeding your girls, do not overwater, and keep growing. You got several weeks to go before you can even start to worry about harvesting time. You got this bruv!!!
@McGrowin, thanks so much brother! I know, it's beginner's worrying, Not familiar with this stage where you can see light green coloured buds for a few weeks without them growing by the same speed they did so far... and the absence of trichomes worried me quite a bit. Takes some mental practice to being patient at this stage and not overfeed or overdo it in nutrients, I guess. I think I just managed to qet over that stage. I appreciate your comment brother!
Looking really great! It's huge!
My experience, if the plant gets strong light intensity, and enough nutes to handle that light, the plant/buds grow short and tight, and don't stretch or get airy.
@Moon_garden, thanks bro, I really appreciate you checking this out! She is starting to fill up the tent alright. I was a bit worried after the first stretch, seeing all that space from one bud site to another...It has started filling up since, but a bit slower than I had imagined. Happy growing bro! 👍
