Week 15/Flower Week 8
Here we are. On the cusp of harvest! I'm ridiculously excited. I actually had to talk myself down from cutting these beautiful girls down Sat. 8/10. It would have been just a little too early. Trichomes on all 3 plants are starting to turn cloudy and I think by Monday everyone will be ready for harvest...but I'll let the girls tell me when they're ready. Monday, 8/12 may be wishful thinking but that's my target.
Very uneventful week all around. It was Flush Week. Sun., 8/4, Tues., 8/6., & Thurs., 8/8 the ladies drank down 1 gallon of plain water each. I was going to water on Sat., 8/10 too but I changed my mind...if I decide to chop 'em down on Sun., they'll be too wet, and possibly the same for Mon., so I decided to skip this last watering completely.
No changes on the Cola height sizes either this week. Another indication to me that these ladies are about ready to come down. I can also tell that the buds are at the end of putting weight on too as the number of them I have had to help out with string has stopped growing as well.
Cheers to you! Happy Smokin'! Enjoy the pics. Next entry will definitely be harvest.
Hi @@Pseudo, Thanks for checking out my diary. No, the plan I was following from YouTube channel GrowPotCheaply had me using Bloom for the first (roughly) 3 weeks. I actually got the length of use wrong (along with a lot of other things) during my first grow. I should have only been using Bloom for the first 10 days during the seedling stage. The author of the plan states that the nutrients found in the Bloom formula do a better job of promoting root growth in the early stage of growth.
If you read through the rest of this diary and my next you'll see all the lovely mistakes I made. hahaha
Peu d'évolution sur les 4 premier semaine de Flo, tu a récolter trop tôt elle on prit du retard pour je ne sais quel raison mais c'est domage trop peu de rendement, les tête ont l'air très légère et aéré
@@Pseudo, yea I had a lot of environment issues during my first grow. If I am remembering correctly, I believe the week you are referencing I had to run out twice that particular week. Once to buy a portable air conditioner and again to buy a dehumidifier. It was a rough ride through the first grow but I managed not to kill them...which was just about my only goal (besides a little bud to smoke).
Now the 2nd grow which I just finished not too long ago...that was seriously disappointing. I had much higher hopes...but I am in week 3 now of Grow 3 (will start posting that diary soon) and I do believe that I have figured out what my biggest issue was...and I had absolutely no clue!
Stay tuned for diary 3 for the answer.
@BIGBUDZ450, I think I might have been a little over zealous this first grow and it may have hurt my bud size. With the current grow I'm trying a little more "less is more", or at the very least trying not to do too much. I'm still learning, or trying to learn. I've seen videos of plants in so many different states that it's hard to judge what's the right amount. I did do a big defol almost 2 weeks ago. My current diary is about to be 2 weeks behind. I've been stupid busy and update it when I can. I'm going to try and get it up to date this weekend.
@Puffer_Bill, Thanks for the comments & props Bill. 👊 I'm still back-filling the diary and I don't want to give away too much 😜 but I will say that the girls are doing OK. I haven't killed them yet. haha
