2024 420FB Sour Diesel & Blue Dream Autos

Week 11 from seed begins with smells becomming more pronounced. Rust spots noted on both plants. I was trying to slowly decrease the cal mag, but will increase, again gotta pay to CalMag coco tax. Growth has more or less stopped on both. Last week saw more filling in between nodes on BD, some bulking up and a few pistils turning orange. Volumes on twice daily fertigations is ~2L. She has 5 colas that are mostly equal in height plus mutiple other bulky colas; what a beast! SD had quite a few pistils turn orange ~40%, trichomes seemed cloudy with some clear on mutiple flower sites. SD has 1.75L twice daily fertigations with great run-off, perhaps can be decreased to 1.5L? I believe she has some time remaining, but with how quickly her pistils changed wanted to begin FlashClean followed by FinalPart to remove any salt build up. SD has 6 colas of similar height with several other good sized flower sites; she looks dank and greasy. Plan for the week 1. Switch SD to FinalPart after FlashClean 2. Slightly increase CalMag 3. Defoliate/LST as needed to increase airflow and light penetration 4. Monitor trichomes on both 5. When to switch BD to Final Part? End of week? 26-10-2024 Day 71. BD PH 6.08, EC 1200, 2/2L with great run-off. SD PH 6.06 *****FlashClean 2.5L/1.75L with great run-off. 27-10-2024 Day 72. BD *****FlashClean PH 5.96/5.95, 2L/2L with great run-off. With the grow question, decided to flush BD to reduce any nitrogen in the coco. Do I go back to same feeds for a week or so until she bulks up then switch to FinalPart or simply switch to FinalPart? If I switch back to flowering schedule with BD would I run into too much nitrogen again? SD PH 6.02/6.02, EC 1170/1220, 1.75L with great run-off. Removed a few fan leaves and supported a few of the side branches so they do not lean into the tent. 28-10-2024 Day 73. PH 6.07/5.96, EC 1240/1180 , 2.25/1.75L with great run-off. Using FinalPart on both plants without additional CalMag. Trichomes on BD seem cloudy with some clear, flowers need to bulk up. 29-10-2024 Day 74. PH 6.02/6.05 , EC 1180/1180 , 2.25L/1.75L with great run-off. Smells continue to improve, fading of leaves beginning. SD flower sites are dense, pistils quickly turning orange (60-80%) will continue to check trichomes daily on SD and every other day will check BD. More BD pistils are beginning to turn orange, flowers are frosty. 30-10-2024 Day 75. PH 6.04/6.0 , EC 1220/1200 , 2.5/1.75L with great run-off. Removed a few leaves off both. Smells are impressive! SD pistils continue to turn orange ~80%; BD pistils are turning orange. 31-10-2024 Day 76. PH 6.06, EC 1220, 2.5/1.5 L with good run-off. Removed a few leaves off both. Will post some BD trichome pictures tomorrow to end the week, but look mostly cloudy with some clear. 11-1-2024 Day 77. Missed last evening fertigation. PH 6.02/5.98, EC 1200/1250, 4L/3L with great run-off. Removed a few leaves. End of week 11 and these two continue to bulk up. SD pistils are ~80-90% orange, leaves are fading, trichomes are cloudy with some clear, no changes in height, flowers are dense, and I think I am getting smells of pine with something else. Day 6 of FinalPart. Next week will be chop time for her. BD is a massive plant, pistils are starting to turn ~40%, leaves starting to fade, trichomes are cloudy with clear, flowers are becoming more dense, and smells sweet. Day 5 FinalPart. BD has time and I wonder how long I can truely run FinalPart. My feedchart from TA shows 10-14 days, bottle show up to 10 days in coco. Should be fine just running FinalPart until she finishes. There is ~10 more days of running FinalPart so she has time to ripen & do her thing. Plan for next week 1. Daily monitoring of SD trichomes 2. Everyother day check of BD trichomes 3. SD harvest time? 4. Flush - FlashClean x2days, then H2O to maintain run-off EC @
