Starting this week off again with some nighttime flashlight shots!
For their growth, i cant say anything i havent said before, they keep being fast, they keep being awesome, they keep on swelling. Colors are also a treat for the eye, their yellow pistils contrasted by the purple buds, supplemented by the nice green fan leaves. I might even look over the clawing on some leaves and the starting nute burn ;D
Staying with nutes, i turned down growth from 3ml/L to 2ml/L for both waterings this week, and ramped up topmax to 2ml/L for the second watering. They still received 2.5L both times, but both are starting to uptake a little less watering, leading me to probably give 2.25L or just 2L the next time, and i will probably wait a day or two more in between waterings. But we will see.
I defoliated both on Day 53 pretty aggressively for my terms. This will also probably be the last time i did that, i like how they look now. Maybe some minor leaf-removal if some leaves look at me funny, but probably nothing id call "defoliation" moving forward.
Also, some pistils started turning brown. I will, out of curiosity, start checking trichomes, and upload the pics/videos later this week when i will add the usual weekly timelapse.
Also also, im still super happy with them.
Later this week, here i am adding 3 more shots of both plants and a budsite, and the ever so important timelapse to finish week 8 off. See you next week!
This looks really good. Nice purple color already! Interested to see how this turns out...
What kind of webcam did you go with? I pried a cheap Blink camera out of Bezos hands, but it's pretty limited in terms of time lapse.
@NastyNatesJungle, Hi, thanks first of all! 😍
I used an old logitech 720p 60° FOV webcam up until now. i did upgrade to a 1080p one with a 82° FOV. So starting from Week 7 the timelapse quality will improve drastically. (Edit: Forgot you can already see the change in week 6 at the end, day 41)
The webcams themselves for me dont need any timelapse capability per se, as theyre hooked to a raspberry pi via a 5m usb extension cord. The raspi just runs a simple script that takes a picture via the webcam every X (in my case 15) minutes. The raspi also runs 24/7 since its also working as a network filter (PiHole). But this will also work with any modern programmable "Device" that you can run 24/7 or alongside your light schedule, like a PC, laptop, etc.
If you plan on doing something like this yourself, im happy to help.
Slightly off topic, but the webcam also "livestreams" the tent for me, so when im out of the house, on vacation, at work, etc, i can always take a peek inside 😁😁
@GrannyGrowingWeed, hey, thanks first of all, and second, have fun! they have so far been an absolute blast to grow. really fast, really "same"-y in terms of grow, colors and how they handle training. so far, absolutely 0 complaints. cant wait for the smoke!
