Growing fast and strong. As soon as I could get to them, I pulled off growth tips from the first and third nodes, I'm going to attempt something like a manifold with this one.
Got a little nitro tox going on, but she's growing real strong, I'll just do plain water next time and she'll shake it off easy.
Day 26: Second topping, done at 4th node on both sides of the plant. Now I'll let it grow, LST new growth tips to spread them out a little.
Day 28: Not a lot going on now, just letting it grow. I'm wondering if it took too long to complete the manifold; it should start flowering soon and the 8 growth tips are pretty small. Stay tuned!
I was starting to wonder if the manifold had stunted this one too much, but now that it's moving into flower and stretch, it's really taking off. It has about a dozen nice budding branches, and it's gaining a lot of height every day now.
Buds setting in very nicely, this plant seems really happy and is praying every morning. Maybe that's because of the efficiency of nutrient movement within a manifold?
The leaves are starting to get a lighter green color to them, some of the lowers are turning yellow and getting brown spots. I gave it a higher dose of nutes and added a little Wholly Mackerel in with it to give it a nitrogen boost, but it may be cal-mag or light bleaching instead. I also raised the light 2 more inches to 24". If it continues to get worse, I'll give it a heavy dose of cal-mag next feed and maybe dim the lights at the driver. Buds still seem to be growing in well, so I'm not too worried, but holy cow, this light is something powerful.
It's been a hot few weeks and unfortunately this thing has really gotten heat stressed. It got up to 87f in the tent several times and it's stayed just over 80 most of the time. The leaves obviously show the stress, but the tops of the buds are also doing just a bit of foxtailing. I finally got a portable AC and added some ducting to pull air from right in front of the AC. Temps inside tent dropped to upper 70s yesterday after all that, so hopefully the foxtailing will stop and the buds will continue to fatten up and gain density. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Just trying to limp through till the end with this one, those couple weeks where the temps got too hot just wrecked this one. I still wouldn't be surprised if I get around 2oz from it, but I suspect the buds will be pretty airy. Hopefully it didn't affect potency.
I gave it a flush this week just to try and reset things in the root zone.
Probably 3 weeks or so from harvest now.
Just hanging on till the end, pistils are starting to turn brown, but I'd guess it's at least 2 weeks to harvest, maybe more. Gave it a plain water feed this week, may just continue with that till the end, it's really not drinking much anyway.
Gave it plain water over a week ago, it's barely drinking. Checked trichomes last night, still mostly clear, going to be 10 days at least till it's ready to harvest. Not sure if I'll flush next feed or give it nutes. Limping through to the end, folks.
This whole grow was just a comedy of errors. Temps got too hot, light was too close (maybe?), overfed, then forgot to water... just glad I got anything out of it at all! It lasted enough to be harvestable, but I would have liked for it to go a little longer. I'll give a smoke report soon.
