Looking forward to the start of week 3 and finally some real growth. Still going through some stretch, a little less than I'd like actually. I tuck and bend everyday trying to fill out the last 3 or 4 empty spots of the net. I'll be patient, as it is only day 15 of flower.
Bud sites are really starting to show now that they have some hair to them. Im keeping a pretty even canopy on the non scrogged plants, and trying to use the light footprint as best I can without cramping the plants. At the end of the week I will be doing my final defoliation and clean up, really looking forward to that.
Girls are sucking up the water now. I give them 5 gallons between the eight of them every 3 days or so. They used to sit in the run off for a few hours before they would soak it back up, now its on the floor for a few minutes and gone. Im using MegaCrop cuz it rocks, and Ive had some success with it before. However, I am thinking of tapering off of it towards the end of flower and substituting PK boost because the nitrogen levels of MegaCrop aren't needed. Hit me up if you have experience with MegaCrop
Please see the 2 photos marked in the diary. Is this a classic PK burn? Did a feed with no MegaCrop, no cal-mag, just PK boost at diluted dosage. The coppering and yellowing has come sudden. Leaves are crispy where burnt. I hear its easy to burn with PK boost. Did I do that?
Looks like your very close to harvest. Typically growers will taper off their nutrients during the last couple of weeks then start a flush out of habit. The reason for this is plants tend to slow down or almost stop feeding during the last few weeks of the ripening stage. It looks like it could be PK burn do to this fact. A good way to check is to do a flush on the pots and see what the initial run off ppms are that first come out of the pot. if you have some crazy high ppms this may have been the issue. Another possibility is also light burn I notice in your photo that these plants are pretty much directly under the center of a 1000 watt light at 16". Hid lights emit infra red light so it can heat up the leaf surface. So I would perform a pre harvest flush and cut off all nutrients on them and back off your light. https://www.blackdogled.com/lst
I would wet trim those buds and cut off any discolored sugar leaves they will clean up nicely. Hope this helps๐
Epic start to the diary, I am all about a good story. I like the little grow space too.
I would throw my hat in the ring and support your thought of Barneyโs Farms. Iโm liking what Iโve experienced so far.
excellent + underated diary right here ! "The Scroggernaut - Either you're scrogging our you're not." well, looks like you're scrogging then ! great work so looks picture perfect
