Did some LST and tied her down some....more watering every couple of days....she has been growing well, but she got stunted after this week and I found that I was OVERwatering. Not that I was giving too much at one time, but I wasn't giving enough water per watering and I was doing that every couple of days...so I think the plant was drowning. I changed the watering schedule and technique in week 7 after flowering began and she responded very well.
This is where I made the watering adjustment...about a 1/2 gallon of water, enough till I got runout on the bottom....then I let the soil dry thoroughly, about 4-5 days...then watered again. She responded really well after this and the flowers starting bulking up. I thought I had ruined the grow, but she looked happy now which made me hopeful.
I made another water adjustment this week by lowering the PH to 6.....For some reason I tested the runoff and it was high...like over 7....even though I had been putting 6.5 water in every time...so I'm scratching my head on that one.....Anyway, I lowered the water PH to 6 and she responded very well.
ALSO...this week I started using the FoxFarm organic liquid food every other watering.
I only ended up with 19 grams from 1 plant. I feel this is due to the watering schedule mishap early on. Also the buds shrunk down considerably during drying. I know all buds do that, but this was considerable. And they also turned out airy/fluffy instead of dense. Maybe someone could give me some ideas if it isn't a watering issue like I think it is. Overall I am pleased with the harvest and will hopefully continue to get better results in the future. As for the quality of the strain, the taste isn't pleasant as I thought it would be and the smoke is a little harsh. But the high is extremely powerful and sedative. I have a few more seeds left so I will try this again and make some adjustments to see if I can have a better outcome.
