Week 4 of flower 8/30/24
Defoliated a little for all the tops to get maximum light exposure.
Some strange marking started to appear on some of the leaves.
The problem was a very high salts buildup in the coco because I watered with almost no drainage for a couple of days.
EC 3, in the drainage.
PH was a little high but still at normal range.
Watered with a diluted nutrient solution with H2O2 (2.5ml a gallon).
Waited a couple of hours and watered with nutrients again same day without the H2O2 (usually I water once daily at the start of the 12 light cycle).
EC got lower to 1.6 and on the following days it got lower even more to 1.3.
The plant seems happy and there is damage only on some parts of the leaves/branches. (seems like the salt buildup was only in some areas of the roots because only specific ares of the plant got damaged.)
I like to see the daily progress in mass and trichome production :)
Noticed the plant mass increasing daily.
The smell intensified a bit
I grabbed the leaves I defoliated, rubbed the trichomes to release the oils and the smell was just incredible, It is not fully developed yet so I cannot put my finger on the most dominant terpenes, but I can surely tell the smell of tropical fruits mixed with sweet candy notes are something mega pleasant.
Watering with nutrients daily (mama likes to drink a lot).
