2024 420FB Sour Diesel & Blue Dream Autos

Week 7 is off to a good start, great growth last week, height ~ 50/54 cm, color improved, and no issues noted. LST started on SD to help even out the canopy was successful. Light defoliation on each last week. Fertigation x2 daily as volumes increased, hope to change to once a day when volumes slow. Plan for the week 1. Continue to lightly defoliate as needed to expose branches or increase air flow 2. Check light height daily, temp probe and fans 3. Consider flower schedule ~ day 46 or once stretch is complete (this week?) 4. Consider ScrOG net 5. Consider defoliation after stretch 28-9-2024 Day 43. PH 5.98/6.1 , EC 1250/1080, 2.5/2L with good run-off. Removed a few fan leaves off both. Raised light to 34cm/90%. 29-9-2024 Day 44. PH 6.08/6.09, EC 1140/1100 , 2.5/2L with good run-off. Noted slight burn tips on new growth with SD, reduced ~EC1100. Removed a few fan leaves from SD and several branches/fans from BD. Raised light to 34cm, raised fan and temp probe. Growth is impressive, defoliated several secondary branches/fans from BD, and a few fan leaves from SD. Gotta give BD a rest from defoliation for a few days, she is just thick. 30-9-2024 Day 45. PH 6.12/6.01, EC 1160/1130, 2.5/2L with good run-off. Raised light 34cm, and fan. No defoliation. 1-10-2024 Day 46. ****** FlashClean PH 6.03/6.06, EC */1120. 2.5L/2L with good run-off. Raised light 34cm, and fan. Defoliated several branches and fan leaves from SD. Started flower schedule PM. 2-10-2024 Day 47. PH 6.07/5.95 , EC 1080/1160 , 2.5/2L with good run-off. Raised light to 35cm. Took BD out of the tent for defolation, removing most of the large fan leaves blocking flower sites and to increase air flow. There are likely more leaves to be removed in the next few days, will let her recover for a couple days and make another assessment. SD will need a defolation session tonight/tomorrow of large fan leaves as well. 3-10-2024 Day 48. PH 6.03/6.07 , EC 1160/1140, 2.5/2L with good run-off. Raised light to 35cm/90%, will increase intensity and lower to ~30cm once the rapid growth slows. Took SD out of the tent for defolation, removing many large fan leaves blocking flower sites and to increase air flow. Will likely need a few leaves removed in next few days, will let her recover. Was much more selective on SD as she does not have many leaves. Will get a more accurate measurement tomorrow, but SD appears to be ~70cm, when will she stop growing? Both plants are robust and resilent. 4-10-2024 Day 49. PH 5.97/ EC 1150/ , 2/2L with good run-off. Raised light to 35cm/90% and raised temp probe. Removed a few leaves off BD that were shading flower sites. Height for each ~68 & 77cm respectively. Raised BD up so both are now even in height to the light. Week 7 is complete, with amazing height increases, switching to flower schedule and significant defoliation on both. So impressed by these two strains, both appear to have tolerated the defoliation well. Hoping to move back to 1x daily fertigation schedule. Plan for week 8 1. Verify light, temp and fan height daily 2. Defoliate lightly as needed 3. Monitor fertigation volumes - switch to x1 daily when/if demand slows
