It was a good week of growing. I got a few spots on the leaves, I think from water droplet’s. One of them is trending a little smaller but we will see how she grows. I am going to try topping for the first time, I think at node 4.

The first plant has been growing well. The second plant continues to show deficiencies and mild stunting. I was concerned about giving nutrients due to the FFOF soil but decided to try some mild nutrients with CalMag and FF Big Bloom to see how they fair.

I feel like the nutrients helped turn around the smaller plant. I added some Fox Farm Grow Big to the mix. I did quite a bit of LST and some light defoliation.

This was a pretty normal week, I did add in a day of plain PH’d water. I believe she is now entering the beginning of stretch.

It seems like they are peaking their stretch and in full flower mode. I will change over nutrients to focus on buds. I did some light defoliation. My runoff PPM on Thursday was around 1500 so I ran through 2 L of PH’d water; runoff then tested around 950 PPM. Overall a pretty good week.

It’s been a good week of flowering! I feel like the transition to flowering nutrients has went well. I defoliated a few times just to keep the bud sights exposed and did some light lollipoping. Not seeing much purple, plant 2 has a little showing on the buds. We will see!

Another good week of flowering. Plant #2 shows some signs of what I feel is early CalMag deficiency but I guess could also be nutrient lockout. I am feeding a pretty solid amount of CalMag so just going to keep an eye on it, monitoring ppm/ph levels both before and after with run off.

Another good week, a little purple is coming through. I bumped down the nutrients a bit cause the PPM was high and the PH was also high.

Another good grow week, the purple is sneaking in! The runoff was looking good this week, just lowering the PH and PPM’s a bit helped.

Another good week! The second plant is slightly ahead and the leaves are being trimmed more due to the deadening. Overall it’s going pretty well and the purple undertones are coming through! I am watching the trichomes and they are still pretty clear, I will probably start with just plain PH water to close her out!

Hey All! Sorry for the delay, I was gone for work but the ladies sure finished strong! I started feeding them PH’d water only. I personally am not sure if flushing truly changes the profile but to me it makes sense, so I do it. I got about 5 days into the week and pulled the plug for drying. I always put them in my tent, dark and do my best to get 60 F/60 Humidity. I need to put a humidifier in the picture to keep it up, it looks like I should get a good 62 F. I hope for 10 days of drying and will check at around day 8 on some small flowers for humidity in a small jar with a humidistat.
