Welcome to the start of week 14. Plants are officially 91 days from sow. (51th day of flower)
We are within 2 week territory. Plants are looking beautiful and putting on some density. Smell like always is amazing. Love waking up in the morning to this pleasant grapey scent.
Last week I mentioned how I was dreading the work ahead of me. This week I've been sad that I'm getting so close to chop. I've really been loving these plants like how SpongeBob loves to fry cook.
3 things I could have improved on this grow:
(1) DLI - I let these girls stretch much more then they needed to out of fear of heat stress. The leaf curling in early pictures was so minimal and I was such a tweak about it that they could have probably filled out much more instead of stretching so tall.
(2) Amending - When I switched to flower I completely cut out my grow nutrients. This led me to what I believe was a Nitrogen issue a few weeks into flower. It could have also been a PK issue from a late bloom feeding. Organics has left me scratching my head more then anything but regardless I am happy with the results. I think next time I will transplant into amended medium and see if that makes a difference since the nutrients are more spread then when scratching through the top soils.
(3) PH - How do you PH distilled water when it has nothing in it? How do you PH water to begin with if General Hydroponics PH up and PH down are non organic? These are challenges I faced throughout the grow and to be honest. I just rolled with it. I never PH'd my water and I just let the soil do all the tough work. I will do this for my next grow as well.
Thank you all for continuing to follow this grow. Hope it brings you joy like it has me and maybe inspires you to try this strain out for yourself. Next week may be the last week for a few that I post as it is so close to harvest. I'll keep everyone updated.
Good Luck @Nick1
