I didn't want to stress my lovely little ladies out in the final week before Flower so there wasn't much hands-on work this week, but I did want to show my love...
My reservoir was empty to start the week and since I knew that I would be flushing at the end, I saw no reason to mix up a big batch of nutes for a short week. So it was back to the good 'ol days of mixing daily...and on the first day I was staring at the shelf of these nutrients directly on my shelf directly in my face that I wasn't using, wasting away. So I decided to use them before they go bad and I've completely wasted my money. So the girls got a nice treat of some extra nutes in their final week of Veg. And I think they really responded.
Day 54 was a Friday and for all my girls for a large leaf removal and a 1 gallon flush of distilled water ph to 5.8. Then when the lights turned off it'll be 32 hrs of darkness before the lights turn back on and it'll be the first week of Flower.
There is no particular reason for 32 hours. That's just the way the timing turned out to be.
I've got two measurements this week because the two main Tops are of slightly differing heights. One is 29" and the other is 33". Hopefully her buds get a big as her branches. But not too big...she's got some spindly little branches and I'm already thinking that I'll probably have to provide some support later down the line.
You can see in the pics on Day 54 how much I've been trying to train/bend her down. She's significantly closer to the light than everyone else right now. Maybe only 20" away. I've raised the light a bit to try and induce some of the other plants to stretch a bit and that has helped some, but I am going to run out of ceiling space eventually. Hopefully since the light is low for her she won't have a big stretch for Flower.
