Solo Cup 2020-Laughing Buddha (II,V,VI)

September 12 - Just chugging along. I’m trying not to drown them so I will risk No. 2 getting droopy to allow them to dry out tonight - it is always the first to drink everything. The pistils are still shooting straight and white. Character, thats what this grow is about. Grit? Charm? Washed out yellow photos? September 13 - Some up-bud shots. I want to give more food but not time just yet. Heat pump install tomorrow so hopefully reduced temperatures? This is just a passing of time sort of day. September 14 - Heat pump installed, duct work set up with the tents. I will admit the flow is average but thats fine - better than nothing. Force feed some food tonight, 0-50-30 Beastie Bloomz with some blackstrap molasses and Plant Prod MJ Spike (CalMag). *Update: its chilled! I’m going to have to tinker with the system* September 15 - Things are routinely below 30 degrees Celsius now with the new duct periodically pumping in new air, this is surely good news. No. 2, No. 5, and No. 6 still remain alive in this diary. No irrigation today. September 16 - Time advances on. 43 days left in the contest. These Three Stooges are likely done bulking as I rinsed the food through. I may dial back to Morbloom next feeding. I certainly will try not to waste on such a small project. It may be the easiest trim job in history. September 17 - ‘Nother day, ‘nother trichome. No major changes as time just marches on. I am more than out of creative ideas to spice things up. I’ll be happy to get the daily task off my plate. Just glancing through other entries I don’t see any prizes in my future, but it has been a fun background project. September 18 - Another week done. This would be roughly four weeks of flowering, if this were pure Laughing Buddha I’d say six weeks to go. Because of the taint of whatever outdoor pollen, who knows. I will be moreso dictated by the solo contest. Just water for one of the solo plants which dries out faster (No. 2), and just time.
