🌱 Day 57 - Start of the Second-to-Last Flowering Week 🌱
Hello, Grow Friends!
Today marks the start of the second-to-last flowering week—Week 9 overall, and Week 5 of flowering. 🌿 I’m getting more and more excited as my first grow nears its end. As I approach harvest, I’ve decided, based on my research, to stop feeding nutrients and stick to just pH-adjusted water for the final two weeks. 💧⚖️
Watering Routine:
I’ll keep the same watering schedule—1 liter every two days, which is about 10% of the pot volume. 🌱💧 This should be enough to flush out the remaining nutrients, ensuring a clean finish for the plant.
Temperature & Humidity:
The temperature remains stable between 19-23°C, which I believe is ideal for this stage of the grow. 🌡️🍂 No more high temperatures to worry about! The humidity is fluctuating between 45-58%, and I’m keeping a close eye on it to stay below 60%. 💧🔍 Everything seems on track for now. 🌿
Plant Health & Growth:
The plant still looks very healthy overall. 🌱💪 However, I’ve noticed that in the past three days, there haven’t been any visible changes in the size of the buds. 🤔 It could just be that I’m not seeing the growth clearly, but the only noticeable change is the daily opening of new flower calyxes. 🌸
Harvest Preparation:
I’m already getting my equipment ready for drying after harvest. 🛠️ Once it’s time to cut, I’ll be hanging the plant to dry for the first 10 days. 🌿✂️ I want to make sure everything is set for a smooth drying process.
Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, daily photos of the plant will be posted! 📸🌱
Day 62 - Last-Minute Decisions with Urgent Changes 🌱
Hello, my grow friends! Due to the trichome pictures I took on Day 61—which you can check out too—I’ve made an unexpected decision to harvest my plant a bit earlier than planned and make some changes.
🌿 Watering and Flushing:
The last time I watered was on Day 61, using all the usual nutrients at the doses I mentioned before. But after seeing the trichome pictures, I decided to start a light flush today. I gave the plant 4 liters of plain water to begin flushing and will now only water lightly on Day 64. After that, no more water until harvest on Day 67.
🌑 Dark Period:
From Day 66 to Day 67, I plan to keep the plant in darkness. I’m not entirely sure if this will make a difference, but I’m curious to try it out.
✂️ Defoliation:
The plant is doing well, and I’ve done a thorough defoliation. I removed all leaves that aren’t sugar leaves or directly attached to the buds to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of mold as I approach the end of the grow.
💭 Trimming Decisions:
I’m still undecided about whether to do a wet trim or a dry trim. Based on what I’ve read, especially regarding the yield from trim, I’m leaning towards dry trimming, as it might give me more usable trim material.
I can feel the plant entering its final phase, and I’m getting really excited about the results and what the next few days will bring. Remember, I post a video update every day. If you have any tips or suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
Until next time! 🌱
@Mr_Juice, danke fürs Feedback Bro! Das mit dem kopfüber merk ich mir :)
Würde ich gerne aber ich bin beruflich mehrere Tage unterwegs und hab niemanden zum kümmern :( Ende der Woche, Ende Woche 10 ist also leider Schlachtung. Bin mit den aktuellen trichomen ganz zufrieden. Nicht perfekt aber für den First try
