This week I topped her and transferred her into a bigger pot and was slowly low stressing her using my hands at this stage every so often in the day time! I also upped nutrients again to slowly reach adequate measures later in growth! Also added co2 bag in the tent as was expecting higher heats in the coming weeks!
Last week I transferred her into a 7 litre pot and added compost tea to give her a well deserve discount boost after the stress she has been through and she took off from here! Got a sweet smell on the stems too
What could I improve?
I have upped nutrients I’m now making 10L feed as I am doing other plants which I will add a diary for in time! My biggest tackle has been the heat as it’s risen to 34c outside now In UK and I’m managing to keep a steady 29-30 in the tent! I Am using Co2
This week was exciting, my honey cream took off and now has a lot of side stems so I know I’m going to get it bushy beforehand flower! I also been training it so I can get the unders to come up and if you see from the photos I’m doing great! I’ve battled the heat now so I should be smooth sailing from now! I’ve also topped the side stems! (Last topping) I’m going 6 weeks with them! Look out for my other diary I’m uploading... Cherry bomb! It’s a week older than HC! Also have special kush to upload, they’re but slower but have now are showing grace! Also all my diaries will Ben correctly dated as I’m using the time stamps on my photos in there albums! Keeps me on track of my weeks!
This week was comfortable! Had the temps regulated and after transfer she really took off with no bad health signs or negative stress! Also added an extra fan for air flow and using 2 Co2 bags as I have 12/12 them from 4/8/19 (yesterday) so I’m looking forward to this as I feel prepared... lol but you know you can never be too prepared that’s why I invite comments so I can learn more! Ignorance is not bliss in this game! Also gave them a treat of instant compost tea for a little boost before flower!
This week I switched the timer to 12/12 and a took 5-7 days to shoot pistols but this lady is going to be a feisty one being fast flower too! I’ve also got control of the humidity now and I’m hoping it’s smooth sailing from here
That all exciting week when your plant starts to flower and every day you look for new pistols and changes! Love this part love the smell! I’ve just added big bud coco so we’ll see what affect it takes! Can’t wait!
This week and some time over last week this honey cream stretched so much not sure why as my cherry bomb didn’t and there under the same light :/ ?? I have now had to slant my light in order to make sure the honey cream receives correct lighting and it’s working as the light coverage shows! I’ll add this to a question if I can in case no body reads notes! (Hope you do)
My honey cream stretched so much as you can see from the photos and I’ve had to take measures in order for the plant to get correct coverage as I can’t adjust between the 2??
You can bend the stems to the canopy level by using ropes. You can put you led in a different angle ( not horizontally) to correct the light distribution.
I would have done both. The 3rd solution is to do some HST and bend the stem until you can hear a "crack" but you are in early flowering so it's a bit late
I think I got some problems with this lady? Maybe over watering I was giving them 3 litres every 3-4 days now I’ve started to see change so I’m waiting a few more days before I feed again as soil looks still a bit wet under my toppers! Also maybe it was stress as I’ve had to bend and trim this baby as she stretched so much when I went 12/12
This week I have done a bit of defoliating to allow light to pass to the bottom of the plant more easily and not to have any wasted energy as the plant is fully growing buds now and not leaves! Was worried about the watering issue but I think 3 litres a week may be what I need to do rather than 3 litres every split week meaning 3 days then 4 days after! But all in all when the fattening starts which I believe is this or next week as it’s in it’s frosty stage where it’s producing that beautiful THC! Can’t wait until Harvest!
I come to realize why my honey cream fell behind and wasn’t doing what the rest are doing (as they’re in sync) it was the stress caused and trimming plus 2 branches snapped I had to tape after bending them too far so guessing I lost 5 days or so due to healing! And it shows as they have masterfully carries on and grown in bud size now! Can’t wait to see what happens next! Also I moved a couple of branches and Reinforced them as later that would be a problem
I had to make a few changes in order to have enough room for the rest of the flower period! I’ve had to bend a few ways and angles to make sure they have space! Also I had invested in a soil stability instrument so I can check my ph levels and they are 6.0 so I’m happy! I’ve added various photos so you may see the edits! Thank you for everyone’s support during this! I am taking it all in! I start flushing on the 30th
I started flush on the Friday 27/09/19 can’t wait for them to fatten up and show me what they working with lol I’ve trimmed a few fan leaves and had to bend a few colas due to the last stretch that will happen! But all in all I’m hoping on a great harvest
This week I re introduced some nutes as I didn’t have 50/50 pistols! They are starting to curl now and I have a lot of Amber coloured pistols! They have also swelled a little not much but very noticeable! Can’t wait for the next 2 weeks
Carried on giving them nutes this week but am planning on a flush because I want to start my new strains! I noticed they are swelling more and more each day not entirely! I also went back through my diary to check when the pistols shot and it was around the 8 week stage but I had switched the light to 12/12 at week 6! Can’t wait to see what these last weeks bring!
I am officially in flush now! I love how far I have come with these girls! They have started to plump up nearly the size of 2 clipper lighters in width! The smell is so sweet and after the touch you can smell the caramel all through it! I can’t wait to taste!
I have been in flush! I still haven’t recurved my jewellery mag yet (30x - 60x) so I can provide you with better photos of the trichomes! They smell so sweet and literally like caramel atm and she’s got so frosty too! I say one more week and I’m finished! I try and add a week update every time meaning a photo a day! You can see the tips of my leaves turning yellow now! So not too long! Thank you for the support during this diary! Please check out my new strains
I have trimmed her down and put the buds into brown paper bags to dry! It’s drying at a temp of 18.1 And 18.7 and humidity is 57-65% And holding! I’ll have a look after 7 days I’ll check the shake and see how that’s drying first and by then my scales should come and I can add all the weights in!
I’m happy to have had a 1st harvest on GD as when I started I got locked up (fdp) but Im happy with the honey cream and I’ve learned so much this time too so I should be able to do better next time as I noticed on my other plants the water was so dry down the bottom I pruned the roots so I’ll take time to water correctly! Happy growing people!
