Cinderella 99

👉C99 is seemingly growing in slow motion. The plant has long since halted expanding itself, and is concentrating on looking pretty. Nice and plump, super frosty dense flowers that smell of light lemony pine. Ive been supporting the branches with the soft wire ties. I have used almost 30' of the garden wire to help support the buds weight. For the most part the branches are stout enough they might not really need my help, but It also serves as protection from over jostling on my part as I rotate the plant a little each day. The leaves are still vibrant green, except for my nutrient issue that reared its head last week. It does appear that I have corrected the issue...could be just wishful thinking. 👉The nutrient issue is quite likely the result of calcium deficiency. I had trended up my cal-mag volume above the mix recipe spec. Not a lot, was up to 3.5ml/gal. I did this to try and make up for any deficiency of calcium in my water source (medical grade 98% pure from a medical facility). I noted some purple creeping onto a couple of leaf stems. The leaves with the purple were also the ones at the top basking in the most intense light...ie the most productive. Ive been able to chase this away in the past by upping the calmag. however I didn't pay attention that the cal-mag I was using was 2x the strength of that in the feed chart. So it wasn't really hurting the plant at that level, but when I increased it I must have maxed out the saturation level of the calcium. My mixed nutrient solution would get cloudy and have stuff in a cloud near the bottom. This was most likely the calcium falling out of solution in the form of calcium carbonate (I think thats what my research showed), which the plant cant absorb like that. There were some other things that possibly could contribute to this scenario such as pH and bacteria in the water or nutrients. I disinfect my water vessels and nutrient dispensers religiously. My nutrients are still fresh and kept in cool dark place, and refrigerate the floranectar. But the pH of the mixture has been low instead of high because of removal of a couple of the nutrients like liquid Koolbloom and rapid start. So I had to use a lot of the pH up (bloom city brand). It may have affected it, so I may change to squeezed lemon juice. (As my hobby moves forward I will be moving to more organic methods so this is a start). Still have some reading to do on all of it. I also believe its under control by the run off. My runoff was skyrocketing way faster than normal. It would get 30+ec above limits within one day. I was rinsing alot. Since identifying and addressing the calmag dosage by reducing the volume, the EC runoff is very stable and right now Im at 3 days no rinse (was +25 tonight). The solution tank also remains clear. 👉Ive trimmed a couple more larf branches. The larf I trimmed last week has been dried and in a jar. Its the most potent larf Ive grown yet. Larf usually gives me mild buzz that tastes very green. Well this has piney taste, only a slight grassy taste when toked....and its strong enough that one hit is fun. I guess thats good news because this plant has a plethora of popcorn on it. 👉The coming week will be just more routine of fertigating and inspection. Watching for signs of amber, my target is 10-20%. Got the USB scope a new app and will be trichome hunting each day.
