Day 85: Things are looking mostly sweet! The stretch is up to 7" at this point. She grew an inch in the last 24 hours, so maybe she'll stretch a bit more? I've got about 4" left to raise the light. Pretty close to maximizing the tent space. She's thirsty every 48 hours. Fresh water Fridays are a hit. Brings things to a happy medium for the next weeks nutrient cycle. I'm trying to keep the ppm below 1500 but as the soil dries the ppm spikes. I've noticed some very high ppm with the first bit of runoff, but it balances out. Usually the runoff is about 100 ppm higher than the solution at the end of the runoff. This is likely due to worm castings and the dolomite lime that is in the mix. Next round will definitely cut the worm castings. The lime will be needed to balance the pH of the medium. I wonder if the high ppm may be causing the brown, burnt looking, tips on the calyxes? Only some buds have brown tips. Maybe this strain will be more orange throughout flower? I backed the light up an inch to make sure I'm not burning them. The Bud Ignitor is done. And the Voodoo Juice. So that will help lower the ppm for week 3. B52 will come back at half dose and I will bump the Massive up to 2ml/L. Now she's gonna swell up!

Is it okay for seedlings medium to dry up a bit at the surface or is it better to keep moist? She hasn't truly wilted. Just taking her time standing up after the last watering.

The stage that she's at and the size of that cup you don't wanna soak her it's fine for the top soil to become dry ,don't want to drown the roots . They can be droopy after watering and low night time temps . She looks healthy nutes are good nice job brother and goodluck ...she would be good for a transplant by now ..

The pH of the runoff continues to drop below 6.0 with each feed, resulting with me trying to bounce it back every other watering. I would like for the pH to be more stable. Any ideas why this might be happening? I am using Advanced Nutrients pH perfect - Grow, Micro, Bloom.

That probably means you have a very acidic soil. You can add some lime stone to the soil and water with higher pH like 6.5-7 and keep checking it but to be totally honest I hardly ever measure my pH levels anymore πŸ˜‚ but I only grow 2 plants at a time. I haven't noticed much difference but my ph come out 6.5 from the tap lol

Orang tips on calyxes? Seems a bit soon. Not all over the plant. Only some bud tips at this point. A few chewed leaves but no signs of bugs that I can find. Some signs of the claw suggest too much nitrogen? Dialing the nutrients to half power. Any ideas or suggestions welcomed!

Hey Growmie ... After seeing the pics and you stating the leaves ar clawing, I would say that this is definitely heat stress, so you did right by raising the lights to prevent any further damage to the buds. If no more damage happens everything with be fine and you won't even notice it was there once she starts kicking off those great purple colored buds. Good Luck with the rest of your journey and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

Drying ganja for the first time. Buds are in the dark with temp steady at 70F. Humidity steady at 55%. Trimmed fan leaves, but left all sugar leaves. Plant is stinking like wet grass on the 3rd day of drying. Will this smell break down or am I needing to make some adjustments?

Completely normal the smell is, the first few days the smell is generally pungent. Just make sure there is fresh air coming in and air is circulating. A oscillating fan will do. Smell will only get better as she slowly dries out.

Nice, dude! What's it smell like?

@MountainMatt, I have had hay smell before. It usually happens when you dry too fast in a low humidity environment. On my current grow, I'm going to use my tent and put in a humidifier to keep it at 60% RH at about 65degF (18degC). Also I'm not going to use a circulation fan, and I'm going to keep it pitch black in there.

MountainMatt
@MovingOn, do you have any experience dealing with the hay smell? going into the 5th day of drying and she's not giving off very much of her grape flavour...
MountainMatt
MountainMatt
@MovingOn, like real fruity grapes. Reminds me of blueberry pancakes. She's not super stinky, but covered in a good layer of trichomes top to bottom. I'll put some more details in the harvest report in a week. Thanks for following along eh!

@MG2009, I've never smoked it before! Hoping for a serious lockdown effect. Have you ever grown it?

@stunflower, Cheers eh! Im stoked to see how purple yours goes. I feel like I could have let the flush run to 9 weeks, but the top buds were prime for the chop.
