Last days of September were sunny, thankfully. No rain. Nights were around 15°C.
Plants are taking this lower night temps really good.
Buds got denser and frostier. The smell is now getting really strong. It somewhat gives the smell of coffee.
I hope plants will be finished soon as the smell is getting noticed by people walking down the street.
Trichomes are ripening but slowly. I actually don't know how long does it take for trichomes to go from clear to opaque/cloudy.
I'm guessing 2 more weeks will be enough.
For this strain I need trichomes to get all cloudy and some of them amber. Somewhere like 90% cloudy and 10% amber.
I have a family member that has anxiety so ripeness that I mentioned is needed.
This was the last week that I'll be giving plants Ripen and from what I'm seeing it actually works.
Leaves are getting yellow, so it does what is says, cutting nitrogen off.
I was giving them 4ml/l of Ripen per feed, 3 times in a period of 10 days.
Last day of the week I started flushing plants with Flawless Finish.
I need some help identifying occurring problem on leaves. It only affected one plant. Other one is fine. They are fed the same amount of nuts.
I found gnats flying around and I used neem oil on top soil and leaves.
Please HELP ! 😱 😖
@Budcrack, It cant hurt to do that. I can start darkening in 10 days. Need to clean up the space for them first and need to reorganize the schedule I have for my other plants that are coming down in the next few days/weeks. I'll give it a go. 😀
@Satori_Hanso, it's for sure going to be the most smelly balcony! 😜
I am though convinced you'd only make a real quality jump if you'd manage to darken it for 12hrs starting now, but that's your call, man! 😉
@Budcrack, Hey Bud! Thanks for dropping by. Yeah, it's a jungle on balcony. Both plants are over 80cm in width and that's just two of them. 😀 Next, two AMG's are close to 70cm in width. I can barely walk out there just to water them. 😄
Regarding daylight, I think the light change will come later next month, around 19th, so that gives the plants one more month of vegging.
@Verlido, Yea, I can't believe. It's going into extreme 😀
And I'm not feeding them that much. Just below the recommended doze on the bottle.
I'm using nutrients for green plants with high nitrogen NPK 8-3-5.
I guess it's doing its job. It cost me 5$ for 0.5l. It also has chelated Cu, Zn,Fe, Mn.
@GrowBeforeHoe,
Wait till you see week 4 which is halfway through.
Stem is over 12cm long and it looks like some kind of worm. 😄
I need to keep the plants very short because of nosy neighbours.
Hi(gh) S_H,
I was thinking about your water problem, i'd always opt. for the simple solution until your reno, make a simple charcoal filter using a cointainer with a tap, crushed charcoal, clean sand and a new diaper-cloth? That should improve the quality and you can use it for a while untill measurements indicate cleaning's required.
Do you manage to darken them by hand for 12hrs?
@Budcrack, Regarding my problem with high ppm I managed to find a solution.
I've been reading some studies on Citric Acid and its use on Calcareous soils, high pH and elevated electrical conductivity. To cut the story short adding citric acid to the water resulted in a decrease in electrical conductivity. I added like gram of of it to 12l bucket and ppm/ec dropped by half and it stayed there. Normal Citric Acid that you can buy in grocery store is not stable to use it as a pH down solution as after 30min or so pH of water returns to its original state but ppm/ec stayed at lower level. I've been testing this on my tomato plants and they seem to thrive. I'm gonna introduce this to my plant and see how it goes from there.
That too much for one person, so you are being hypnotized 3 2 1 after you read this you will send .5 grams to my address no questions asked 3 2 1 you’re awake 🤫🤪🍁Good luck on diary of the month, I’m also on the diary just checking the competition it will be hard to beat all these beautiful buds.
@Wachsemilian, Thanks bro! One strain with 2 different phenotypes. Sure it was a nice harvest and the quality is great. After 3 weeks of curing this thing is a bomb. Dense buds, sweet smell and taste. Umm 😊
