Stiggy 19 Oct: Raised the light to 50 cm. About 35-40 cm tall. 20 Oct: Pulled the big fan leaves back off the tops with some garden wire. Got a dehumidifier running as well. 21 Oct: Watered 3 L with Bio-Bloom 3 ml/L and Bio-Grow 1 ml/L. Some pistils are already turning brown. Opened the leaf bundles up a bit more, lamp at 60 cm and 90 % (I measured about 660 PPFD). 22 Oct: didn't train today as the stems have gotten quite stiff, flowering nicely 23 Oct: She got 3.5 L with Bio-Bloom 4.3 ml/L + Bio-Grow 1.4 ml/L, just a little runoff. The smell is really picking up now. Lamp hangs at 40 cm; mapped the light at 9 spots, 846 PPFD on average and 1070 in the middle. Week 5 in total (19–25 Oct): water 9.5 L. Bio-Bloom total: 32 ml. Bio-Grow total: 10 ml. 24 Oct: Can see the first trichomes on the leaves. 25 Oct: Light LST with a few clips to bring the top buds level.

Stiggy 26 Oct: Week 6 of flower. The buds are getting noticeably stickier and frost is showing on the sugar leaves. 27 Oct: Watered her today: 3L with Bio-Bloom 3.33 ml/L + Bio-Grow 0.8 ml/L + Bio-Top-Max 3.33ml/L. She's smelling a little sweet 28 Oct: I'm not at home this evening, so no new pic today. Looking good from the camera. 29 Oct: 3 L at Grow 1.7 / Bloom 4.2 / Top-Max 3.3 ml/L, then half a litre of plain water on top. 31 Oct: Lifted the pot and it's not light yet, so the water can wait until tomorrow. 1 Nov: Cut off some dried leaves that were still mostly green, I think she got a bit too dry. Gave her 2.5 L with Bio-Grow 1, Bio-Bloom 4 and Top-Max 4 ml/L, then 1 L plain. Raised the pot so her canopy is level. Lights on the tent sat at 25 °C and 60.5 %, lights off at 22.2 °C and 63 %, with leaf VPD close to 1 kPa. Light is about 680 PPFD and 49 mol DLI estimated over the tent, and 800-1000 PPFD on my meter right at the tops. pH stays in the upper 6s (about 6.6-7.0). Next: lifting the pot every day so she doesn't dry out again.
