2024 420FB Sour Diesel & Blue Dream Autos

Week 6 begins in preflower! Nice growth/development/color last week with no issues noted. Height increased 30/34cm or ~12cm in height. Most LST as been removed, light defoliation on each with tons of leaf tucking to expose sites. Plan for the week 1. Continue to light defoliate as needed to expose branches 2. LST adjusted 3. Check light height 30-35cm 4. Consider plant stand on BD if height difference increases 6. Consider flower schedule ~ day 46 7. Consider ScrOG net later in week to open things up 21-9-2024 Day 36. PH 5.88, EC 1180, 2.5L each with good run-off. May need to increase BD volumes as her run-off is less, but still with ~10%. LST and very light defoliation continues with removal of 5 leaves and a couple of small branches. Leaf tucking continues. Light ~32cm/90%. May need to raise temp probe and fans. 22-9-2024 Day 37. PH 6.03/6.05, EC 1190/1140, 3.5L each with great run-off, both are thirsty. LST adjusted and leaf tucking with light defoliation of 3 minor branches and few fan leaves off both. Light adjusted to ~34cm/90%. Temp probe raised. 23-9-2024 Day 38. PH 6.03/6.01, EC 1120/1220, 3/2.5L each with good run-off. Added PM fertigation with 2l each, run-off good. LST Adjusted, leaf tucking and defoliation of several fan leaves and a few minor branches. Lights height verified. 24-9-2024 Day 39. PH 6.0/6.05 , EC 1170/1200, 2L each with great run-off. LST added to SD to try and even out canopy, defoliation of several branches and fan leaves off each. Will only remove a few leaves tomorrow in order to not stress the plants and light defoliation over the next week. New tips were noted to be burned on SD and slight color changes to both earlier this week. On 23-9 noted to have overfed as I misread the line on the chart, was feeding 6/5 and should have been 6/4 (grow/bloom), identified yesterday am and will try 2 fertigation sessions x day to try and flush out any overfeed. May consider hanging netting at end of the week. 25-9-2024 Day 40. PH 6.10/6.01 , EC 1180/1170 , 2.5/1.5L with great run-off. Light raised to 32cm/90%. Adjusted LST on SD, canopy is fairly even. 26-9-2024 Day 41. PH 6.06/6.0 , EC 1180/1200 , 2/1.5L with great run-off. Lights raised to 33cm/90%. Canopy is fairly even bwtween the two. BD has ~5 main branches, and SD ~4-6 branches and the growth has been outstanding with both plants. Defoliated BD as she is bush and would like to improve the airflow. SD will get a light defoliation tomorrow. Raised fan. 27-9-2024 Day 42. PH 5.98/ , EC1280 2.5/2L with great run-off. Lights raised to 34cm/90%. Raised temp probe. Defoliated SD removed several branches and fan leaves. Week 6 draws to a close and finds both plants gaining height to 48/50cm or ~16-18cm for the week, despite my misread of the nutrient schedule. Switched to 2x daily fertigation, once volume demand goes down, likely next week, will switch back to 1x when able. Both look amazing, impressed by their resilience and loving their structure. Plan for week 7 1. Continue to verify light height daily 2. Adjust fans and temperature probe as needed 3. Switch to flower schedule around Day 46 4. Defloliate once stretch is complete 5. Consider ScrOG net to support branches and to continue to open up canopy
