Started the week by doing a bit of cleaning up this week. Got rid of most of the little shoots ... there were a lot! Gave some recovery time, then installed a screen - somewhat haphazardly! - to help in levelling out the canopy and more bending and pruning.
I was having problems with the Autopot flood/drain cycle. After exhausting every possible troubleshooting step, I'm fairly certain that the plant is seriously root bound. She's been in that pot for almost 1 year! Notice the date on her ID tag from when I received her last year from WeedMD - a Canadian Licenced Producer.
I'm going to be potting up very soon (just waiting for some supplies) but I've also decided to switch from the bottom feeding AutoPot to a top-feeding Blumat drip system. At the end of this week, I installed the two "carrots" as well as a moisture sensor.
Just getting my diary caught up! Should have it done in the next hour or so. But, yes, 2 more weeks of veg from here then I flipped and continued to fine tune the canopy as she starts to stretch. Thanks!
@Rangi_Kijani, very nice indeed mate! I have never made any clones ever but I have this one Blue Gelato which is veging for 4 months and I too feel attached lol.
@@SeedLover,tyvm! I do too. As weird as it may sound, I actually have a strong emotional attachment to this plant. It was with her that - finally!!! - I was able to nail aeroponic cloning. She faithfully allowed me to cut, prune, bend, and twist her and made little fuss about it - only occasionally needing to remind me not to take advantage of her ;)
Super nice grow. Shame she had to be cut down she was a beast. Have you ever tried to re-vegetate a photo period after harvest to get a second harvest from the same plant?
No, I havenโt. In this case, I needed to move her out the door due to space limitations with new moms Iโm cultivating. I had to borrow a chamber that I usually use as a veg nursery to flower her. And I need that space back! But Iโm sure re-vegging is something Iโll play with down the road! Thx! ๐
I just got the harvest into jars (~60% RH). Less weight than I thought was there when I cut her down, but Iโm absolutely thrilled with the quality. 10.6 oz top shelf buds (alllll tops!) and 1.7 oz of verrrry frosty trim that will soon be transformed into tincture! Thank you very much for all the comments and support along the way. Now to get my other diaries updated ... ๐
