Day 78 F22: Watering/Defoliation/Tucking GSC 1.5 Gallons of water pH 6.6 Runoff pH 6.4 NL 1.5 Gallons of water pH 6.6 Runoff pH 6.4 Notes: I watered first thing when lights were on. Afterwards, I did a pretty big defoliation, getting rid of approximately 85%+ of the fan leaves. After this, I re-positioned a lot of the bud sites. There were a couple that were pretty woody and I could not move without inadvertently super-cropping. I didn't feel it was necessary though as the canopy is almost completely even now. Also, going to start adding a small dose of cal-mag to every feeding now, and feeding base NPK at 3/4 strength instead of the 1/2 strength. We'll see how they do. Day 79 F23: Nothing new Notes: Plants are recovering from major defoliation very nicely. New dehumidifier will be here tomorrow. RH has been steadily around 54% with the shitty dehumidifier running almost constantly. To anyone reading this, I cannot emphasize how useless those little ones from Amazon are, don't buy em. Day 80 F24: Nothing new Notes: New dehumidifier came. Required a bit of reorganizing my space. I obviously can't put it in the tent, so it has to sit outside and dehumidify the whole room. It will take some time to adjust, considering the humidity I'm worried about it beneath the canopy of the plants, but I will let it run and see how good it work. I adjusted my inkbird down to 45% RH and will probably adjust down to 40% in a month. Day 81 F25: Feeding GSC 1.5 Gallons of water 0.5 tsp/gal Armor Si 2.25 tsp/gal Big Bloom 1.5 tsp/gal Grow Big 1.5 tsp/gal Tiger Bloom 1.0 tsp/gal Cal-Mag Plus 0.5 tsp/gal Kelp Me Kelp You pH 6.5 NL 1.5 Gallons of water 0.5 tsp/gal Armor Si 2.25 tsp/gal Big Bloom 1.5 tsp/gal Grow Big 1.5 tsp/gal Tiger Bloom 1.0 tsp/gal Cal-Mag Plus 0.5 tsp/gal Kelp Me Kelp You pH 6.5 Notes: Had to break open the bottom of pH Up for the first time. After everything was mixed, it came in at 6.4 pH. I could've easily used that, but decided to try out the pH Up. You have to use significantly more to get the pH to move when compared to the pH Down. Added half a tsp to the mix to get it to move a tenth. With pH down, that would've dropped it probably a whole point. Day 82 F26: Nothing new Notes: Just patiently waiting for flowers to beef up and making sure temperature and RH are on point as well as monitoring the plant for signs of distress. Day 83 F27: Nothing new Notes: Didn't notice anything new, but was really tired this night and went to sleep early. Day 84 F28: Watering GSC 1.5 Gallons of water 0.5 tsp/gal Great White Micorrhizae pH 6.6 Runoff pH 6.6 NL 1.5 Gallons of water 0.5 tsp/gal Great White Micorrhizae pH 6.6 Runoff pH 6.7 Notes: Watered today, but noticed an issue on the NL. Lots of leaves showing necrotic spots which look like a calcium issue. pH has been pretty on point the whole grow, and I just started feeding more cal-mag, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

Anyone ever try using the last week of vegetative growth's feeding schedule during the first week of flowering? Decided to try it out since the plants will be growing more vegetation than focusing on flowering during the first week after flipping. At least that's what I assume.

Actually, if you go by almost any manufacturer - they say that you should be using nutrients that are primarily for veg into first week or two of flower. It's recommended as plants need time to adjust to the light cycle and actually start flowering. Until that happens they stretch, some very much so and for that they need the nutrients for veg. Most of times it's recommended to slowly decrease them from 100% to 0%

I see some amber on there, but I can't tell exactly how much. I'd like to chop around 20% amber at most. Is my estimate of next tuesday a good time to chop?

The trichs will continue to ripen after you harvest the buds so if your looking for 20% at harvest you got a few more days. But if your looking for 20% at smoke then I’d harvest them now and you should end up around where you want to be. I see about 10% now

Usually when the pistils curl back and turn reddish brown, then it's time to harvest, but that can also be deceiving, sometimes they do that for environmental conditions. You'll have to check the thricomes daily, because they can get to the point you want any day now.

Hi there! Having amber trichomes means that you already missed the perfect window, your buds will get slightly less THC but more CBN, resulting in a relaxing / couchlocking smoke. If you're looking for a recreative high, you should have cut her when the first amber trichomes appeared. If you want something more 'stone' than 'high', to fight anxiety or insomnia for example, you can wait until you have 20-30% of amber trichomes. I'll be around, good luck with your havest!

@grow_time99, technically a ScrOG is use when you have/want just a few plants to grow. During Veg you keep the mains tops under the net sending them to the sides, as the same time these mains tops will grow shoots from each internode, this is where you fill up the trellis. When most of the squares are full of tops, you still let them grow 2 nodes minimum, this is where you get a bud in every hole while keeping canopy level under control... and finally when everything is ready and full you switch to 12/12 .

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Yeah, a lot of the setup in there is definitely not being utilized. My reasoning for having everything crammed in there was to make sure it all fit! lol. I will be taking it out shortly and modifying it a bit to free up some space.

May I suggest you to plug off all the big inner fan leaves from these 4 tops who passed the trellis , it makes 4 leaves in total, to let the light in your NL plant . The plant will start to send the smaller shoots to the canopy feeling she’s got a chance to put these tops on the canopy, you can lollipop the smaller shoots to make them grow even faster.

You cardon filter is full of water bro... Look on the notice or label it should say max recommended RH (between 70 to 80 normally). It useless at this stage... You should add your filter in week 4-5 of flowering where you maintain low RH (around 40%) and when your plants gets stinky. RH increase during night cycle by the way 😉

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Well, my tent is in my basement. Prior to me setting everything up, I cleaned out the entire area, framed and walled the section of the basement off, swept, vacuumed, and bleached the walls and floor. I thought I was pretty thorough, but I guess that fan sucked all the dust up. It's gotta be from drywall dust, and various other dust and basement grossness throughout the years.

@grow_time99,where was that white dust coming from ?
grow_time99
grow_time99
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Thanks for the advice. I literally just updated my comments and then read yours! Plan is to dump the filter till flowering when I will then get rid of the humidifier as the ambient rH is around 30% anyway.

taping these type of wounds helps a lot, some plants i end up taping AND making a tie support i use silica to try to reduce the number of breakages as well, it helps
Jaindoh
Jaindoh
@grow_time99, i was less concerned with it healing better because it's taped and more that it might prevent the split from deepening and shocking the plant really badly -- which has happened to me.
grow_time99
grow_time99
@Jaindoh, I tried taping it, but due to the low clearance on the canopy, it's impossible to get a roll or even a strip of duct tape in there, and I am fairly certain it wouldn't be enough pressure to keep the breakage pushed together. I just started using silica too. Not sure how long it takes to notice a difference, but will definitely be using it going forward. Sooo...I think I'm just going to leave it the way it is, and let it heal on its own. I'm curious as to what will happen. I want a good yield, but I am very open to experimenting on these plants since it's my first grow. I want to make mistakes and learn from them.

You can get an Hygrostat, found at all prices, it goes from the simple hygrostat plug to super duper climat controler.

@grow_time99, playing Mother Nature is a full time job 😊 And the cycle will reverse in week 3 or 4 of flowering, you’re gonna pull out water from the dehumidifier 😅
grow_time99
grow_time99
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, That's what the thing I bought does. Plug in whatever you want to it -usually a humidifier/dehumidifier- set the range, and it will turn on once the rH low threshhold is reached, and turn off once the high rH is reached. Saves me time refilling the stupid humidifier, power, water, and keeps the plants in the ideal VPD range for their timeline. Also will be great for drying. I'm not sure why I didn't buy this thing sooner, but I'm glad I did.
