Start of week 9: D57 The Skywalker grew another 6" during the stretch this week. Given my limited headroom I bit the bullet and super-cropped a few branches. I was really worried I would snap a branch but they actually proved to be quite easy to work with and didn't require much more than a firm pinch to get them to bend. I soon found out though if I didn't tie the bent branch down it would soon bounce right back up. I managed to anchor most of the bent branches to the SCRoG net With the exception of one or two branches I had a hard time reaching. Lights in the tent are pretty much raised as high as they will go now. I think I'll definitely be exploring a tent with more headroom for future grows. She drank quite a lot during the week - nearly 3/4 gallon day. Not feeding as intensely as a couple of weeks ago. Top-up feedings have been light, skewing heavier to bloom nutes and much less (if any) on the Gro. Humidity in our neck of the woods has been less than ideal the past week; ranging from 65-75%. I feel lucky I've been able to keep humidity in the tent between 55-60%. I have just a tiny dehumidifier in there but it seems to keep it 5-10% lower than the rest of the house. Cleared away a fair number of dead, old fan leaves that fell off the lower branches of the two plants in the tent - nice to see the plants cleaning themselves up. I'm staying true to the no defoliation challenge. ✊ Looks like there should be a good number of bud sites. Hopefully, things stack up well. Thanks for checking in ✌️

I don't know if you can, but when I was getting high humidity earlier this summer, I would leave my tent flap open for a few hours each day and put an oscillating fan outside blowing in. Not sure how much it helped, but it made me feel better lol. Those buds look really chunky

@@motaman311, Humidity is the worst at night after lights out but I can't leave the tent open as it would get hit with light from the nearby fluorescent where I have the seedlings germinating. I definitely need to consider a more robust dehumidifier for future grows - I just need to get the purchasing department on board 😉

hahaha - one of those moments you go.."well..they're healthy to say the least...but damn you're stretching too much!" :P I'm really liking your deep water culture setup going on...always healthy plants you got my friend 😃👌

@CannaScuzzyB, Thanks! The stretch has been a challenge for sure - generously speaking, I only have about 12" of clearance between the lights and the canopy. I hope things can finish off with any major problems.

Hey Stun, If the deficiency didn’t appear until after you had the PH fluctuations, I’d put it down to lockout because it was out of PH range rather than deficiency if that’s the case. Also, is your EC figure right? I’d of thought you’d be somewhere around 1.6 by now?
StunFlower
StunFlower
@NuggetPawn, Thanks for the guidance, Nug. Hoping the increased EC will do the trick. 👍

@StunFlower, you’re doing the right thing increasing EC, I think that they probably don’t need that much, but I think the main benefit you’ll have is a stable PH, I have found over last few grows the swings reduce by 90% after the EC hits 1.2. I doubt you’ll get tip burn at the level you’re at 👌 With my nutrient regime I peak at 1.65 second/third week after flip and stay around that level until close to harvest 🙏

@NuggetPawn, I don't think deficiency appeared until after PH fluctuations. Because the PPMs kept jumping as the PH decreased my inclination was to keep PPMs and EC lower. However, I'm wondering if she wants more than I've been giving her. The browning on the leaves started as more of a purplish colour and browned through the week - some stems are purple too which I believe can be sign of a phosphorus and/or calcium deficiency. I gave her a stronger feeding with today's topup and her EC is running closer to 1.5 at the moment. Any guidance you can offer to help right the ship would be great.

Very nice harvest my friend :) Glad you tried the ScrOG - it's my go-to for all my grows and helps with resistance training as well as support. A little bit of stress and resistance training and it gives you more potent bud..but it's a fine line considering if you over stress, you risk stunting or making her go hermie. Overall, epic count for a single plant man 😎👊👌

@CannaScuzzyB, Thanks. I was pretty happy with the ScrOG experience - we'll give it another go with the next run. Yes, I was really pleased with the return on this harvest. I hope it's the shape of things to come. 👍

Really glad to see you got a whole bunch of buds out of this, well done! Was getting a bit worried after hearing about your RH issues 👌 Good move getting yourself a taller tent ⛺️... Looking forward to your next diaries 😎

@NuggetPawn, Thanks buddy. I was worried about the RH issues too but it all worked out in the end. I'll still need to invest in a decent dehumidifier at some point so I can put future RH worries to bed. The new tent is all ready to go - just waiting for the next batch of seedlings to throw down some roots so I can move them into my buckets.

Once again, congrats, looks like a solid harvest. Those roots look great... nice and white and those nugs look great.

@@motaman311, Thanks! Ya, the Purps is really living up to its name. I've got some Red Poison from Sweet Seeds waiting in the wings for the next cycle - should be another good colour show if she develops as advertised.
