Welcome to week 8 / week 5 of flowering!
Many more pistils have turned amber and harvest time is closing in. Iβm aiming for a nighttime smoke, so Iβll hold out until she has 50% amber trichomes.
β
Day 50: 100oz of water. No runoff. Seems like she isnβt drinking as much lately. Bud trichomes are mostly still all cloudy.
β
Day 51: No water. The fade is really kicking in now. Some sugar leaves are looking black!
β
Day 52: No water.
β
Day 53: 144oz of water. No runoff. The pot was very dry. She needed a big drink.
β
Day 54: No water.
β
Day 55: 136oz of water. No runoff. She is smelling even stronger now.
β
Day 56: No water.

@Doktorholland, yes, for now. This way I donβt have to worry about upgrading my light when I decide to grow more plants at a time or when I get a larger tent. In the meantime, I could always dim it if needed. π

That's a huge amount of light for one plant, are you sure it's not the sf1000? Would be the reason why she's not stretching...

@Fruitgrower, weβll see how it turns out in the end. π She seems very healthy. And very good progress compared to other diaries of this strain in soil.

@Automaniac, that's very excessive bro. As I said before this will be the reason she's droopy and not stretching how you'd like. πJust an observation

@Fruitgrower, yes itβs the SF-4000. π Itβs pulling 454 watts from the wall. I have photos of the light and setup under Week 1.

Looking great! Humidity is low though, i'd bump it up to the higher 50s!
My first girls were more droopy with 40% RH due to makeshift closet and once i got a proper setup and 50%+ they were mad perky n stoked!
Otherwise making really great headway into the beautiful girls! π½

@xbabybitchx, thanks! I recently started watering every 3rd day. At the 3rd day, the pot feels very light and the top inch or two is almost completely dry. 64 ounces of water at the 3rd day wets the soil thoroughly, but not so much where there is runoff. I think the watering is dialed in now. π She is always droopy when the lights come on, but she eventually perks up very nicely about halfway into the day period and stays perky until the lights go out. π€·ββοΈ

@Automaniac, OK so i'm still also a noobie, this is my 4th grow, But when I look back at your previous posts some things stand out.
You are watering pretty frequently and your heat is high.
Plants can get droopy n sad when over watered as well as underwatered. Sticky line to walk haha.
I would try increasing your humidity as well as letting her dry out a bit more between watering just to see if there is any change.
My first grow I thought iIwasn't watering enough and turns out I actually was drowning her.
Good luck!!!! :)

@xbabybitchx, thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it. π I thought about humidity too. The humidity inside the tent rises to 55% for 6 hours while the lights are off. However, the plant droops even more so during that time, so I thought maybe low humidity isnβt what is causing the drooping in my case. Thoughts?

Was the bud airy?? Did you bud wash or something to increase wet weight ? Iβm just blown away by the 28 oz wet weight to 3.5 oz dry.. it lost 87.5% in dry and cure, damn. gorgeous buds tho! Congrats

@Automaniac, that makes sense.. Iβve learned the hard way and lost a few ounces to mold going in jars too quick, even with a huge boveda bag in there .. makes sense!! Amazing looking buds tho like I said!

@Ezzjaybruh, this was my first grow and I was so worried about the buds getting moldy that I erred on the side of caution and ended up drying the buds a tad bit longer than I should have. They have been curing for 2 months and still seem a bit too dry. The smoke is still a pleasure, but looking back the yield would have certainly been heavier if I popped them into the jars a day or two sooner.

I agree with GreenBean / be careful not to overwater. As I learnt from a pro on this community, if the leaves are drooping and look puffy between the veins you have almost certainly overwatered her.

Automaniaccommented4 years ago
@Tripledrop, itβs also worth mentioning that she starts drooping while in the dark period and then perks up again, every day, about 10-12 hours after the lights come back on. From what Iβve read, itβs not uncommon to have droopiness during lights out. Just not sure why it would take her 10-12 hours to perk back up after the lights come back on.
