Well here we are on the home stretch beginning week thirteen.
Friday - Day 85
23 August 24
Not a whole lot more to say today.
Just a day under the lights.
Saturday - Day 86
24 August 24
Watering day, 5 litres of dechlorinated tap water.
- Base water 5 litres - 60.3 PPM
- Add 3/4 tsp carboflush - 151 PPM
Final - 5 litres at 6.25 PH at 154 PPM
Runoff - 2.3 litres at 6.70 PH at 542 PPM
Week 8 Lotus chart calls for some bloom nutrients, but I’m just going to run carboflush until the end and let the plant consume her fan leaves to finish her off.
Wednesday - Day 90
28 August 24
Getting very close to the endgame here.
Going to give her 15 litres as a final flush, let her dry back considerably and then harvest.
- Flush One
Final - 5 litres at 6.37 PH at 61 PPM
Runoff - 2.1 litres at 6.70 PH at 342 PPM
- Flush Two
Final - 5 litres at 6.20 PH at 61.5 PPM
Runoff - 2.3 litres at 6.88 PH at 185 PPM
Runoff - 2.4 litres at 6.95 PH at 135 PPM
- Flush Three
Final - 5 litres at 6.21 PH at 63.9 PPM
Runoff - 2.6 litres at 7.00 PH at 122 PPM
Runoff - 2.6 litres at 7.14 PH at 114 PPM
- The final runoff PH was a little on the high side but as this is the last watering before harvest it’s not something I’m going to overly concern myself with it.
- So I’m thinking of harvesting in about three to five days.
- Depends on how long it takes to dry back significantly.
- I want the pot to be nearly weightless before chopping.
End of week thirteen.
How did she end up being? I've grown fast buds a couple times the kosher cake was really really good the smoothie was pretty good not as good I have a few more strains from them but interested as to this purple punch
@Hempface86, honestly it’s ok. There’s nothing to run home about it. It doesn’t waft a lot of odour when you open the jar. The smoke is smooth. But I had a lot bumps along the way during this grow, so it probably could have been a better end product if the grower did a better job.
I’m still happy with it though. I smoke and get high so goal achieved. I do really like the odour it leaves in the room after you finish smoking.
When I leave and come back it’s a pleasant smell.
@Schnabeldino, appreciate the kind words man, thank you. However this was a rough grow and I wish things had gone a little smoother and that she’d look a lot happier during the flowering phase. But it is what it is and this one is over with.
@Frostynuggzzzz, merci big!! J’apprecie lets mots gentil. She’s had her problems through flowering. I wish the fan leaves were in better shape but all in all the buds do look great. At the end of the day buds are the prize not fan leaves so we roll with it.
@BrigadeDesTerps, Merci pour les mots gentil. A peu près une semaine et demi et elle devrait être prèt a couper pour secher. J’ai eu des problèmes avec mais on va y arriver!
@Hempface86, I was looking at her last night. Even with all the messed up fan leaves the colours she has are really pretty. The rust spots make a bright orange and it compliments the purple hues and green tones.
Though I can’t wait for this one to be over.
Whats up Growmie, nice Grow keep up the good work 👌🏽🍀 check out mine, maybe you got some tipps 🙏🏽 don‘t forget to Like & follow if you like my organic grows 💯
@Organic_G, Danke Bruder!! I don’t feel like this is good work. Haha. It’s been a struggle with this one in early flower. It went sideways on me. It is what it is. The buds are developing nicely even with all the fan leaves being messed up, either way I’m approaching the end with this girl so I’ll just ride this one out.
I’m switching things up for my next run and going to be running some gaia green organic soil with some gaia green amendments. Every plant I’ve had has had issues in early flower with these lotus nutrients. So it’s time for a change.
@Hempface86, hanging in there on this one. After this run, I’m ditching the Lotus nutrients and going in an organic soil with gaia green direction. Gotta try something different.
