SS - Black Jack Auto

I'll keep the setup information going from week to week to hopefully reduce any questions about what is being used, and prevent people from having to scroll through the comments of every week to find what they may want to know. Step Up Info: Tent - 32"x32"x62" VIVOSUN mylar grow tent Light - 75W Rapid LED with a CREE CXB3590 COB Fans - AC Infinity CLOUDLINE S4 for exhaust, 2 Holmes 6" clip fans, one is towards the top shooting down, one is towards the lower-middle for circulation, 1 Honeywell 8" TurbroForce Air fan. Pot - #3 black resin thermoformed pot with an actual capacity of 2.6 gallons Medium - Fox Farm Ocean Forest mixed with more perlite Day 43 - Week 7 everyone. Can't stop, won't stop, still getting some stretch on three branches for sure while other branches pack the weight. As @KCChiefers pointed out, my overall shape turned out well for the training. Thank you for pointing out that my ego was getting in my way of appreciating what has been achieved. Day 44 - @El_Jeffe suggested that I pull her branches down to open her up and let light down to the lower flowering sites, and I did. I would say that was a good call to make and I'm happy I followed through, thank you @El_Jeffe 👍. I also decided to defoliate after saying I wasn't going to. I just had so many fans leaves on top of each other I felt like I was preventing useful airflow to the bottom of the plant and the lower flower sites. When I opened her up, I was like wow look at all that light getting down, then I was like look at all those sites that are being blocked 😳! So the clippers came out and she was cleaned up. I only removed any fan leaves that were on the inside of the plant and if I felt they were blocking light from reaching the bottom flowering sites. I did not remove the perimeter fan leaves or the uppermost fan leaves. Removing the exterior fan leaves have no real benefit as they don't block anything, and you are removing nutrients for the final flush that the plant can draw on. You also don't need to remove the topmost fan leaves as they won't be blocking much depending on their height compared to other tops and how full they are. Day 45 - Not much to say other than she is getting frosty! The only areas that aren't showing nice amounts of trichome development are the areas that are late to flower, mostly those last three branches I mentioned before. Opening her up was worth it and I'm super excited about the finished product, can't wait. Day 46 - The only thing I have to report is things are still going well. Day 47 - I can really see the difference in the stages of growth now, which is kind of nice. It's giving me time to compare the differences in the stalks, flowers, fan leaves, sugar leaves, and other aspects of the plant through its development. Some of the pistils have started changing, but there is still a huge amount of white pistils. One of the smallest details I like about this is the two flower sites that are side by side almost, the "twin tops". Most other sites have staggered enough to say they are different, these two are almost side by side. Day 48 - I probably should have spotted this sooner, but there was a calcium deficiency issue noticed today. So to fix it she was given an additional 12ml of Cal-Mag in some water. She was due for a plain watering but the calcium issue needed to be addressed right away. I don't want all the hard work to fizzle because the flower sites can't develop properly. I'll probably be giving her close to 20ml of Cal-Mag a week going forward. 10ml in the nutrient feed and 10ml in the straight water feed. Day 49 - Week 7 is done and today the smell is starting to come through. I open the tent and it's like hello 😃. This means the carbon filter is working, so I give a 👍 to the product for working so far. She will be getting another week's worth of nutrients and another flush next week. This is going be a good grow, bar any major problems going forward.
