DAY 85 - 11/8/24 - Still good. I could chop today. I wont. I’ll capture all my media, I’ll keep running cake for at least five more days. I am happy, they’re happy. FEED: 6 gal water, 180ml CS Cake, PH’d to 5.6. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 72.0 H 53.4 V 1.25 DAY AVE: T 75.7 H 47.4 V 1.59 DAY 86 - 11/9/24 - Numbers good. Have not looked in on tent today. I plan on this being a big photo day. Expect higher or lower average temps. As the tent door(s) will be open for significant portions of time,. The sensor will be ill positioned, and I will have my hot running body in the tent, close to the light and the plants. Idk which way the temp will move. Probably hot, but it really depends where the sensor is. The plants have been drinking like crazy. I think it is because the PH of my coco is finally stable in the correct range. Also the tube position helps, as does the colas being close to the light. They are drinking heavy, they are full and lush, they are swaying and flowing and swelling and growing. This will surely be a great harvest, but I wonder what this could have been if everything went 100% and according to plan. Next grow. They grow will be phenomenal. So long as I plan properly, can check and change the tent’s parameters daily, and so long as I keep the res feed PH level stable and I use the canna coco which I hear retains a stable PH level better than other types of coco. The quality matters. Next run will most likely be 100% coco. Also I will use the dynomyco correctly. And place it in the optimal zone in the optimal amounts. Plants are at just less than 1:10 amber trichs. I plan on harvesting at about 3:10 amber trichs. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 70.5 H 54.0 V 1.17 DAY AVE: T 76.8 H 46.6 V 1.67 DAY 87 - 11/10/24 - All good. Took some pics. Everything is pretty, t where I want it, H where I want it, V is the right range, but at 1.7 its a little high. I think 1.5-1.6 would be better, but probably not a huge issue at this stage in the game. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 70.9 H 54.4 V 1.18 DAY AVE: T 76.5 H 47.5 V 1.63 DAY 88 - 11/11/24 - All good. Moved the tower fan down to speed 2 and I moved it and the intake fan to the center front of the tent. I want optimal airflow and rotation out of that dying fan as we finish up here. The plants are all bright white with trichs. Some plants are thicker and heartier and fuller than others, but all are good. Or adequate at least. I cannot wait to weigh these! Just 4-10 days left. I am VERY excited! I could harvest now and be all fine. I basically made it. I want some more time for my own preference, but I think we made it. We are past day 80-85, the plants are full and finished. Nice fall colors on the toppest leaves. Bottom are still bright, healthy green which is why I want just a bit more time. Most pistols are orange, more amber trichs than before, but we are not at 3/10 just yet. A note on cameras and lenses: This is more a personal note for myself, but if you are into photography or my entire process, even beyond the grow, read on. I plan on taking pictures with the 50mm and the microscope today. The 85mm’s minimum distance is a bit too far for the closeups I am looking for. Yes, I can crop in, in post, but that is tossing valuable pixels away. Not very professional. The 20-60 is a bit too wide and the max mag is too small, but I do like the flexibility. I think the 100mm would be my go to, but I need to try it out first. The 1:1 mag is what I am looking for. Also planning on picking up a 70-200 or 70-300 for animal portraits, but this is a discussion for a different document. I believe either the 28-200 or 70-200 has macro function, but I need to double check which one and what the price difference is. FEED: 6 gal water, 180ml CS Cake, PH’d to 4.5 (coco PH was high yesterday) NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 72.4 H 51.7 V 1.31 DAY AVE: T 76.5 H 46.2 V 1.67 DAY 89 - 11/12/24 - Forgot to turn the water back on, so the plants didn’t drink for about a day, but all is fine, they drank like 6 gallons today. I added another feed tonight. Harvest day is coming, not much I can do to ruin the grow now. I’m not worried. I took pics with the 50, 85, and microscope today. I plan on shooting video with the camcorder and the and the 20-60 tomorrow. Picture season is coming to an end. Chop day is right around the corner. I spread the plants for maximal airflow. Light is no longer optimal, but it is fine. FEED: 6 gal water, 180ml CS Cake, PH’d to 5.7 NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 71.0 H 52.0 V 1.24 DAY AVE: T 75.7 H 46.4 V 1.62 DAY 90 - 11/13/24 - All good today, took some slider shots with the 20-60. They turned out really nice! Some of the prettiest weed shots I’ve ever captured. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 70.3 H 53.98 V 1.16 DAY AVE: T 75.7 H 46.9 V 1.61 DAY 91 - 11/14/24 - Plants look ready. Harvest is this week. Don’t know which day, but I will keep feeding the Cake, I’ll keep taking pictures, and prepping the dry/cure utilities. NIGHT (12-2AM) AVE: T 70.5 H 56.1 V 1.12 DAY AVE: T 76.5 H 48.9 V 1.59
