Thirsty_Grower First CalMag problems

Thirsty_Grower Fixing a CalMag deficiency. The leaf tips are starting to dry out and curl upwards - probably due to over-fertilization or salt stress. The sugar leaves are getting really "sweet" or resinous!

Thirsty_Grower Week 11

Thirsty_Grower Week 12

Thirsty_Grower The trichomes are slowly turning milky, but many are still clear.

Thirsty_Grower Because I felt bad about cutting off the excess colas, I left too many on. As a result, many grew, but they stayed too thin. The bigger the buds got, the worse the branches could support their weight. That's why I had to prop up the branches with a string so they could hold the weight.

Thirsty_Grower The first amber-colored trichomes appear, predominantly at the tips of the upper flowers, directly under the lamp. This is probably because these flowers have received a bit too much heat from the strong lighting. At the same time, there are still enough transparent trichomes present. Therefore, I have decided to wait a little longer with the harvest.

Thirsty_Grower The plant kept getting yellower and started dropping its leaves more and more despite the fertilization. I think it doesn't make sense to wait any longer – the time for the harvest has come.

Thirsty_Grower The roots had penetrated the entire volume of the pot. However, the main root was only about 15–20 cm long; the rest of the root ball mainly consisted of very fine, highly branched roots. This was probably due to insufficient ventilation in the root area. In a fabric pot, the root system would likely have developed better. The drying took place in a textile cabinet in the attic. The temperature at night was around 5–10 °C and during the day about 10–15 °C. The total weight after drying was 117.55 g. The average weight loss during curing was about 2.61% (see table). Not the entire harvest participated in the measurement of weight loss during curing, but only a part of it. However, the amount examined was sufficient to determine the average weight loss. The weight exceeding 49.9 g was properly disposed of.
