After one week in Rockwool I planted my girls into the main tent. The plant on the left has shot ahead of the right. I'll just be letting these girls do their thing for the first two or three weeks before some LST.
One of my girls (#2) looked a little stunted but is back on the grind. I'll keep an eye on this. Will also sub one day feeding with flush and then week 3!
My smaller plant has made significant progress! They are also starting to get quite stanky! A small amount of LST. Not sure if I will defoliate or only when they begin to flower?
Have fallen behind with photo updates, but these ladies are going nicely. I have been removing fan leaves slowly. A very small amount of LST and they are smelling dank!
Photos from the past week. Ay yi yi. I can not get the pH to sit comfortably around 6. It is often super high after I make the feed, I let it sit for a few hours then check and add a ph down. they recommend only a few drops but when I come back to check the level has barely changed. I have increased the automated feed time as they are getting thirsty
Frosty! (cold bud, no actual frost) Moving along nicely! A nice smell has begun to be produced. pH fluctuation seemed to be resolved although I am worried about the long term effects this may have on the overall grow.
I am super happy with the results of my second grow. I really enjoy my time in the garden. I dried slowly for just over two weeks and am two weeks into the curing process, but so far she burns and smokes really well. Had a few issues but that's to be expected and not to be stressed as much as I did lol. Thanks to the community and the growers helping me out! Onto the next!
Honestly, i dont see it doing any long term damage. Just keep feeding her what she likes, keep the PH constant, and itll be smooth sailing!!
Those leaves look MASSIVE BRO!!
Still doing a great job 👌
These ladies look great! I defoliate pretty early. Id say you can do it at this point, especially if fan leaves are blocking crucial points below. Plus, these girls look healthy enough to bounce back.
I usually defoliate right before I feed/water, where i defoliate every 3 days now.
Im glad to see someone running these genetics, since i have 10 or so of these seeds. Happy growing!
I would definitely say the ph is out of wack a tad and she is starting to show a little stress, hence the yellow leaves.
You may need to add more PH Down, depending on what other nutes you add to the water. You have to keep in mind that each of those nutes have a ph buffer, or ph level that it makes the feeding solution. You have to "overcome" that buffer to your desired PH. If you had Reverse Osmosis water that had no natural buffer, only a few drops would be needed to make major PH change.
Just keep adding ph down and checking the PH. Also make sure your meter is calibrated.
In my experience, letting the solution sit always makes the ph go up, closer to 7. I keep my solution around 6.18. Temperature of the water can also change the ph.
Either way, she is still growing very well and you should not be worried. Happy growing my dude;)
What is the pH of your feeding mixture? Do you measure the PH and PPM of the runoff if there is any?
The ph change alone should tell you the ph of the medium. These girls look pretty healthy though. Id say as long as you dont fluctuate the ph of the feedings, these ladies will keep on sailing on.
These girls will be using their space, thats forsure! They are HUGE. Especially at this age.
Keep it up!
Its hard to see if there is any issue with the leaf coloring given the pics. It looks like just normal coloring after starving her and maturing.
In general though, most strains develop color as you 'starve' them to their finish. Nothing to worry about. Im pretty sure this strain gets reddish and possibly purple sugar leaves.
Also, have you checked out her trichomes? That is a good identifier as to when to flush and finish out. They are also the only identifier i use to know when to harvest.
