dianne Day 1 of second week of flowering. Not much to report. Spent the week untucking to try to get some height on the right. Canopy height is now reasonably even - between 5 and 7 inches of potential cola above net. The right plant isn't as robust as the left.
Shall we run a sweep on final yield? I'm hoping for more than 10oz after my disastrous 5oz first grow.
Added later
Big under net prune.

dianne Increased nutrient level today.
According to Canna, I'm at this stage:
- Generative Period I
- Flowers or fruits develop in length.
- Growth in height achieved
Did the final canopy trim a few days ago. Might have gone overboard.
Noticed 1 cola foxtailing (one of the tall ones, maybe too close to the LED). Raised LED an inch or two. It's now 12 inches above the tallest cola and about 18 inches above the shortest.
Apart from that it's looking good. Environment well controlled, no bugs or mildew.
Patience is not my virtue.

dianne No dramas this week. Smell and stickiness starting to increase.
Increased watering from every 3 days to every second day. Watering about 10L per plant, per 2 days with about 1L of runoff each.

dianne Not much to report. About 4 weeks to go.
Everything seems to be progressing nicely but I don't have really have enough experience to really be sure if it's optimal. I'm hoping they really start to fatten up soon.
Started PK 13/14 on day 40 of flower.

dianne Fatter and heavier. Will be cutting back the nutes this week. Had the tiniest amount of leaf tip burn after the big PK13/14 dose.
Day 53 of flower:
Leaf tip burn and some tacoing of leaves near the centre of the grow. The grow seems dryer and crispier. Did a big flush with EC 1.7 water (as per Canna Grow Guide) and raised lights by 1in.
A couple of hours later...
Measured EC of runoff. Off the scale but could be elevated by excess nutrients in my waste collection trays. Flushed with ph adjusted tap water. Will resume light feeding after two days. Bummer.

dianne Had some nute burn after the PK 13/14 dose last week - poor babies. Also had 2 temperature/humidity sensors die so I'm not able to dial in temperature as well as in earlier weeks. I'm still mostly in the ball park and roughly in ideal VPD range most of the time.
Seems to be going OK. The colas put on a bit of width and quite a bit of mass. They are getting quite dense and hard.
Two weeks to go.

dianne Home stretch. 48 hours until harvest, I started flushing about 5 days ago.
Final flush at lights on today, 12 more hours of light, then no light for 36 hours. Plan to chop at normal lights on time, after 36 hours of darkness.
Very frosty buds. Not huge and a bit airy - probably grower error. Vapes very nice - intensely spicy at first, followed by an earthy deepness. It's like vaping the essence of South East Asia. Quite strong, no couch lock.

dianne The grow was pretty uneventful. I was a little disappointed with the density of the buds, they were all a little loose. They might tighten up during the curing.
Very, very happy with the yield - more than I expected. Next grow, I want to increase the quality.
Lessons learned:
1. Need a tent with 360° access. I think I affected my bud density by leaving too much under the canopy. Next grow, I'll be keeping the stems under the canopy completely bare.
2. A smaller pot would be better. I'm going to go for 5 gallon pots and an automated coco watering system
3. I need a method to gather clean runoff to measure. The runoff that comes off the tray has passed over dried up salts sitting in the tray.
A very intense mind stone. Spent an hour sitting at the table just lost in random thoughts until I snapped out of it. Then I went a did some shit.
Yield was much higher than I expected. 18oz of good quality vaping material, 3 oz of good larf plus a few oz of trim for coconut oil.
@Homegrown420, I use a dry herb vaporiser (a Storz and Bickel 'Mighty' vaporiser). Just grind up the herb, add to the Mighty, turn it on and vape away.
