Another DWC Gold leaf

Growing big this week. Almost no upwards growth this week, buds are getting wider each day. Smell has a taken on a more weedy smell but still isn't like any strain I've grown in the past. More a aged tobacco smell (like a walk in humidor). Ph is stuck at 5.9 right now. I've added over 5ml in the last 12 hours of Ph down trying to get lower. I'm giving it a day or two to work out before adding more as it's probably built up buffer in the solution and now I'm on a ledge where at some point just a little more acid will tip things too far. The last week she has been very hungry. Half way through the week requiring additional bloom food. Now that we aren't growing taller we will switch to only bloom nutes and give a shot of micro when she looks like she needs it. From here out I will only defolate taking only the fan leaves that block lower growth. Speaking of those fan leaves there is a ton of crystals allover the fan leaves too. A sample I took a couple of weeks ago smoked well, tasted like fresh cut grass, and actually got the job done. These were taken in week 8 and were smaller than what most people would try to grind. This next week is just focused on staying on point. Feeding is spread out to over 3 days during the week to keep levels from spiking too much. Volume of nutes is way up, bloom this week is planned to be a few ml per gallon more than GHE recommends. On nice thing in hydro, if you pour in too much you can drain off the replace with new water and try again. Do like me and mix up your nutes in 1 gallon bottles to be fed (watch for nutes that will bind with each other in small quantities (bottles usually will state this, like calmag and armor si shouldn't go together). When out of town I have each bottle labeled with a date and ppm level the water should be in bucket before use for my partner who can't remember shit for some reason :) but I guess I can't complain they keep the plants alive while I'm away.
