Trainwreck

This is basically the start of week three flower (it starts in four hours). So far the I’m more than happy with the plants progress. Calibrating my ph pen every 30 days and switching calmag brands and also adding more of it than in the past seems to have completely eliminate the past deficiencies I was experiencing. 😀 At the end of this week I’ll do a final defoliation and get rid of a bunch of light deprived stuff under the net and maybe a fan leaf or two that’s depriving some canopy nodes of light. I want to both keep as many fan leaves as I can while at the same time provide the plant with good airflow to prevent mold in the bushier sections of the plant. In the past grows by this stage of flowering period the leaves already were showing numerous significant issues due to the deficiencies. I was more than happy with the potency and smell of my past three grows but those all had very few leaves later in the plant cycle and the ones it did have left weren’t super healthy. So I’m curious if I can continue to keep the plant healthy with no visible issues if the extra energy created by the extra photosynthesis of the extra fan leaves will result in even greater yield, greater potency and stinkier nugs. Basically, I really doubt I was anywhere near maxing out the plants genetics. I’m sure I’m not this time but I think I’ve definitely managed to hopefully reach closer to their genetic maximum potential with this current grow. I’m not sure what max ppfd I should I settle on when they’re done stretching. I’m thinking like 850-900 from my photon light app with the optional diffuser attached. I don’t want to give it too much light but I also don’t want to leave yield and potency on the table. As a new grower I’m not sure but I’m thinking 900 is good enough since after that I may need additional CO2 to utilize the extra light. Really looking forward to getting to experience the smell of this strand in flower. I’ve never had Trainwreck before as far as I know so I’m excited to get to smell a legendary strain deep in flower soon in like 3 weeks. 😀
