Day 35 Flowering:
- 9 gal reservoir emptied, cleaned, filled with purified water. (added more water since they're drinking more.)
- all defoliated.
- compost tea hand watered to all.
- tent cleaned.
Notes:
- instead of the usual additives in the reservoir, Sledgehammer by Fox Farms (organic) was added. It's a yucca extract that helps the plants better uptake what's already in the medium. Think of it as a juice cleanse for them.
- they're starting to get a sweet fruity smell to them. Haven't really checked on who, yet.
- all plants doing well.
- they're starting to get sticky, Red Diesel most of all.
- ladybugs doing their job and eating all the thrips and fungus gnats. Went with Ladybugs because they're safe during all cycles of life.
@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.
