This 1's for Mama!

As usual it's been both an amazing week and an incredibly awful week. Lol. I think that pretty much sums up all of my growing experiences. No matter how hard I try, I still have bad things pop up. At the beginning of this week I noticed late one night when the plant should be sleeping...that i see the Light is on! During the dark period! When I decided to turn off one of my leds after harvesting another grow, I must have bumped the timer, because 2 pins were barely pushed halfway down, enabling the lights to turn on with the timer for 1 hour in the middle of the 12 hour dark period! I was so angry and frustrated I could have kicked myself! All i could think about was plants going hermaphrodite from light leaks...will this ruin the plant...how did I hit those pieces and make it turn on.. so many exhausting thoughts. However the plant is so close to being harvested I figure I stand a good chance of avoiding anything too bad happening. I ordered ph powder to recalibrate the pen, and when it arrived I found that the pen was indeed off by at least .2 or more. So she has been watered outside my usual 6.6 range. So this accounts for the recent leaf problems...inaccurate PH. Fortunately this is fixed now for future grows. On the positive side the plant is definitely ready to be harvested. Her buds finally got a nice amount of amber trichromes. The buds are feeling very solid and dense, which isn't usual for me. The smell has gotten very strong but I can't really pick up much more than a generally beautiful cannabis smell. I started to give her plain water and Greenbuzz Clean Fruits to break down any extra nutrients laying around and eventually changed to plain properly ph'ed water for the last couple days. I'm planning to cut her down in the next day. I'm extremely grateful that she's ready to harvest and will hopefully get a nice batch for such a small and short timed grow. Thanks to everyone for glancing at this diary and all the useful advice/ information. Happy Growing and Harvesting.
