Cherry Cola Auto Rf3/Banana Puple Punch

Thomas86 Hand watering plants in their final pot this time instead of using solo cups to reduce stress, Using water with EC at 0.8 and Ph 5.8

Thomas86 3 plants doing well, last week of hand watering before I start feeding from the trays, Using Lst on the banana punch, so far so good!

Thomas86 Started feeding the plants from the trays this week and turned on the airdomes pumping 0.5L of air to the roots. dropped the ph in the reservoir down to 5.6

Thomas86 3 Plants growing well, using lst this week, looks like they'll be quite bushy

Thomas86 Did some defoliating this week to open up the canopy, It didnt seem to slow the plants down too much, the 2 cherry colas at the front are quite bushy, the banana punch has a nice structure with lots of bud sites forming, Just started using the scrog net to try spread the branches a bit, Im going to bump up the Ec a bit next feeding.

Thomas86 The plants stretched a lot this week and are super bushy even after 2 big defoliations, I went away for 5 days and the ph climbed to 5.8 in the reservoir so I brought it back to 5.5, plants seem happy, Im going to bump up the Ec this week a little, so far so good! tons of bud sites forming, Always amazed how quickly these autos grow, 45 days ago it was just a seed!

Thomas86 Raised Ec to 1.7, the banana punch is further along than the Cherry and has some trichs on the leaves already despite the buds being in a early stage, the Cherry Cola continues to grow in height and overtook the other this week, I recalibrated my Ph/Ec Pen to ensure accuracy. humidity is quite high at the moment but I expect it to drop where I live in the next few weeks hopefully! 3 plants in the 80x80cm tent has the humidity higher than id like but the plants seem happy enough for now. The 3 are guzzling the water, Not sure exactly how much but I topped up the reservoir by at least 30 liters this week.

Thomas86 The cherry cola at the front stretched more this week, theres no room left in the tent so hopefully thats its vertical height achieved, had a minor problem with the autopot valve on the banana punch blocked with dirt so I replaced it with a spare, started using pk 13/14 in the rez yesterday, Not much else going on this week, humidity is still high but dropping, hoping the 2 front plants start focusing on bud production this week.

Thomas86 Plants at the back look very green and overfed so I dropped the Ec a little, Had to defoliate again to try combat the high humidity, hoping it drops a bit, probably stunted the growth a little but hoping I didnt stress them too bad, My lights are max height so hoping they stop growing vertically, they got a little taller this week and some leaves are getting bleached.

Thomas86 Humidity dropping where I live finally, buds are swelling nicely, started using p/k 13 14 this week, i lifted the bananna plant up a little to the same level of the Cherry cola, Only a couple of weeks left till harvest, gonna start checking the trichomes under a scope till their nice and milky.

Thomas86 Raised up the Banana punch at the Back to keep the canopy even, had to raise the reservoir to maintain the gravity feeding, Humidity is still a little high, and stopped ising Pk 13/14 this week, getting close to the end, il start checking trichomes this week with a microscope, The charcoal filter is a bit old now and isnt dampening the smell great, Its stinking up the hallways in our apartment building, hope the neighbors don't mind a few more weeks of some dank nugs smell before i can bag it up in some terplock bags, gonna be a bunch of trimming to do in the next couple of weeks but the buds look nice and crystaly, reducing the Ec slightly this week to 1.6 and maintaining ph at 5.5 swinging up to 5.7, The airdomes are blowing some bubbles at the valves so I turned down the Air supply to the roots below 1 liter per min, hoping humidity drops further but nearly at the finish line, I need a better tool to cut the trunks soon because theyre quite thick, Possibly one more update before harvest, Thanks for checking out my grow guys😀

Thomas86 Nearly at the finish line, the banana punch is foxtailing a bit and probably gonna chop everything soon 😀
