Day 21 flower:
- 8 gal reservoir: emptied, cleaned, refilled with purified water. Added liquid seaweed, CalMag, slf-100. All organic. (Added 2gal since they nearly finished the last reservoir. Had <4 cups left.)
- heavy defoliation to all except Blow Dream.
- compost tea hand watered to all.
- foliar spray (pest management): slf-100, neem oil, purified water.
- ladybugs unleashed on thrips issue (downside is that there'll probably be some dead ladies to shake off of the flower later)
- removed yellow sticky traps so ladybugs don't get stuck on them while they work.
- Nematodes hand watered in.
- adjusted light height.
- adjusted inline fan with carbon filter for smell reduction.
NOTES:
- White Widow's previous water line issue stunted her growth. She's still keeping up pace with everyone. Placed her on a three inch step so she's closer to the light since she's shorter.
- Starting to smell a little.
- Blow Dream was cruising through the whole grow, but didn't take too well to nearly running out of water in the reservoir the last two days. She wilted quite a bit. Added two extra gallons to reservoir. She's already perky less than 24 hours later.
- last picture is of Red Diesel with a Ladybug looking for thrips to eat.
@Harmar, luckily it's only two of the six that are experiencing that issue. Though, Blow Dream seems to be building long thick buds even with the issue. We'll see how things turn out soon.
@DCC_S, as block progress, the growth of both up and breadth sharply slows down. This is due to the earlier maturation of stigma and, as a result, the presence of small buds.😔
@kaneownz, strongly consider an automated inline fan to help and a carbon filter. Tap water can be real harsh. Consider buying a purification filter that filters out chlorine at least. Even a kitchen water filter may be better than tap water if you can't buy a gardening water filter or RO system.
@DCC_S, I plan to just vent into the rest of my apartment as its that small and out the window is not an option. Do you have any tips for growing with tap water? Im in a city and dont have access to RO water to my knowledge.
@kaneownz, you can vent it outside but consider the odor and potential for bugs to get inside. Get creative and be practical. It all depends on your set-up.
