Day 71, 11-19-24: #3 is starting to look done. I need to get some trichome shots tomorrow. I was hoping for a bit longer so they would bulk up, but as smallest, it makes sense it would be the first to go. #1 will be last, but #2 will give it a run for its money!
Day 72, 11-20-24: They have really started to amber on #3, some on #1 and #2.
Day 73, 11-21-24: #3 is really starting to amber. I'm taking a branch off of it, the lowest half node, and checking it out thoroughly.
Day 74, 11-22-24: So, I ended up taking the bottom 2 nodes. In the past, with autos, I've let the bottom branches mature somewhat then harvest them and let the rest of the groth focus on the main stem and it seemed to have work fairly nice. I've gotten some buds that are 18 to 24 inches in length by doing this that were fairly girthy. So I went ahead and took those two off thinking it'll help the bigger ones. I think I'm going to start the flush tomorrow.
Day 75, 11-23-24: Im putting a round of just pH'ed water with a 800ppm potassium sulfate mixture. I moved the lights around a bit to adjust for growth and movement. Found a mushroom!
Day 76, 11-24-24: I decided not to completely cut them off cold turkey. I'm going to wean down the nutrients until I'm just using potassium sulfate.
Day 77, 11-25-24: The end of week 11! Woohoo! I've dropped the ppm to about 650 from 950ish. I'm going to be cutting back on them over the next few days and probably Wednesday or Thursday. The trichomes aren't there yet.
@Natrona, it went kind of odd up until they started flowering. The 6" and 29" way outgrew the control. I figured it would go for more soil to less soil size wise, and smallest soil to deepest soil for blooming. But the two variables grew faster and budded faster. On a side note, they smell amazing and exactly like peaches
@Natrona, Thanks! The tying down was a bit hectic to make them not stress out the branches, and I made it to week 7 before #1 had any purple in it ๐
