✋Wk11: Escaping from Distancing. 👉This week is the first full week of the government recommending “social distancing” to combat the spread of Covid19. My work schedule hasn’t changed due to the nature of my job, but everything else has been affected. Well, everything except this grow! Every visit to the tent is an escape to another reality. The magical funk, of flowering cannabis as I enter the room before I even open the tent, transports me instantly into a happy place. I unzip the access flap and another wave of sweet leaf flower fills my nose with that magical funk and I am living a Peter Max painting! This plant has a seemingly normal stanky cannabis funk aroma until you get close. It has a wonderful aroma that can only actually be described as creamy caramel. A light aroma that is very uplifting. I’m not taking a second for granted and I feel blessed for being able to grow this magic plant with no legal ramifications. I also feel so blessed that I have such a perfect escape. I am also very grateful that I can share my magic plants with those who happen upon it. I hope everyone and their plants stay safe and healthy! 👉This week has seen the building of excitement for the final stretch, and the increase of my anxiety of doing the right thing to maximize the plants potential. Seeing the buds of both plants bulk up, smelling the aroma get strong enough to smell outside when the winds are calm has increased the fun factor exponentially. It’s like being a kid a week or two before Christmas, its magical and exhilarating. The 3 gallon plants flowers are bulking up and promises to have plump buds. I think I have abated some of the possible nutrient issues that appeared last week. I have done some ultra-low EC rinsing and cleaned the exterior of the cloth pot. I also did some pruning of a few small interior small secondary branches. I also trimmed a few leaves from the canopy that were either not doing well due to the nutrient issue or were tangled in the mass of leaves forming the dome. I actually to a fair amount of leaves, I cringed with each leaf pinched off, hoping I was doing the right thing. I actually only took a small portion of all the leaves, and looking at the plant now I think I was judicious and took the right leaves in the right amount. The plant isn’t drinking quite as much fluid, which is probably partly due to the leaves removed and partly due to the stage it’s in of building buds and not leaves. 👉The one gallon plant is looking like it’s very close to finishing. The leaves are starting to fade evenly almost all around. The buds are still building, lots of new calix’s and pistols. The trichomes are mostly clear, but many cloudy ones can be seen. The Ec of the runoff rises quickly over a couple of days. I have given a couple of pH’d water only rinsing’s which are followed by a low EC nutrient solution. It’s drinking a little less but I maintain the same volume of solution at each fertigation event to aid in slowing the rise of the runoff EC. I give it 1.5 liters each time. The pot is so packed from the roots it takes a few minutes to give all the solution to the plant. I’m hoping that the plant is ok with its small home and will finish with some tasty good big buds, its looking promising.
