Light dimmed to 45W
Using Westland jacks magic all purpose compost (90% peat) as the medium
25% worm castings
40g Thomas Elliot fish blood and bone. NPK 5-5-6
20g Westland seaweed enhanced.
NPK 3.6-4.8-1.4
20g epsom salt
20g remin volcanic rock dust.
and a small handful of vermiculite
I think I was giving the plants too much light that’s what was causing me problems on my other plants. So I’ve reduced the light schedule from 24hrs to 18hrs and intensity from 70w to 50w for a better daily light integral (dli).
Lights increased to 65W
Top dressed with 1/3rd cup of bat guano and 1/2 cup of rock dust on day 24
Occasional foliar spray with biobizz alg a mic (liquid seaweed extract)
Ordered a tent. Hope it gets here soon. Space is getting tight
New tent arrived on thursday (day 32).
Increased light to 100w”. Tried 130w but think it stressed the plants.
Added 30ml of wood ash of day 34
Tied the main cola down at the start of the week. Thought it might be too late but she seems to be responding well.
Day 38:
Top dressed with 8g of sulphate of potash
Struggling to keep the temp and humidity down it was hitting 29c. Dehumidifier reduced the humidity from 65 to 55%.
Day 40:
Bought a CO2 monitor. Only venting into my room atm. With the window partially shut and me in the room CO2 is 1000+ ppm so reduced the height to 12 inches, approximately 700 ppfd which equals 45.36 daily light integral (DLI).
When i'm not in will increase the light height to aprox 500 ppfd (32.4 DLI).
Although most autos are done between week 9 and 10, it is not always like this. I have personally seen autos finish in 8 weeks and 12 weeks, and everything in between. Just let id to its thing, it is already flowering. Also some trainings can delay flowering, like TOPing, defoliation, etc.
Day 43: top dressed 20g of sulphate of potash
Day 44: top dressed 20g of epsom salt and 15ml of a biocatalyst I received as a free sample
Day 46: top dressed 1/3rd cup of high phosphorus bat guano. Think I had a slight phosphorus deficiency.
You could maybe take a few leaves, over the next week, without too much setback, but I really wouldn't recommend it with how far she's into flowering.
- If you absolutely have to do it, don't take more than a single leaf a day, preferably 1 every second day.
What I'd recommend instead, is harvest her in stages later on. So you take the branches that are ready, and let the rest grow, and continue till you're satisfied they're all done.That'll probably give you a better yield than starting defoliation at this point in time.
