HomegrownGenetics End of week 4 today,
She looks great; I really can't complain. Nice dark green color and the growth from the apex shoot is great. Phytomax400 is 36" away from the tops which may be a little close. Might clean up some of the lowest shoots as they are practically on top of the grow medium. Also considering topping, but I may wait until next week.
HomegrownGenetics Starting flowering tomorrow. She's drinking about 4 gallons a week at this point. Pre-cautionary Azamax spray. Scrog net installed. Hopefully the stretch over the next two weeks treats her well an fills most of the screen.
HomegrownGenetics Did my weekly check of this lady and noticed my pH had dropped during the week from 5.7-4.4. My guess is that the increase of bloom nutrient concentration (Which has a low pH, and is now a large part of my nutrient solution due to being in flower) is causing the lowered pH as the plant drinks. This upcoming week I've only added around 60ppm to see if the lower concentration helps prevent this drift.
I defoliated just about everything under the SCROG net and removed all but 6 main branches. Hoping this doesn't hurt my yield potential, and instead leads to 6 massive colas with no popcorn/fluffy nugs. She looks ugly right now, I'll admit, but by next week the 6 colas should fill in on each other. All done with tucking for this grow. Will certainly be using a mainline on all future photo grows as the growth really got out of control ,and the abundance of skinny nodes was really disappointing.

HomegrownGenetics This week was a good week. The stretch is real! She grew 11" and the buds are coming in quickly! She also drank about 5 gallons over the 7 days, but there was very little pH change (Thank God). The reservoir barely rose from 5.6 to 5.8, so I'll be upping the PPMs to 800-900 for week 10. I'm also going to start reducing the FloraGro as I don't think she needs a lot of Nitrogen ( She's super dark green as you can see). There's actually a few fan leaves and developing flowers still under the SCROG net, so I am going to go ahead and get rid of them within the next day or so. Essentially this plant is going to be just the 6 main colas. Goal here is a 1/2lb which would be 1.3oz per cola, which I think is do-able. Would like to get at least a minimum of 4-6oz, anything under that and I would consider this grow a fail. See you all next week.
HomegrownGenetics Had another pH fluctuation this week, but she is looking good and filling in nicely! I'm thinking 4 more weeks to let her fatten up.

HomegrownGenetics End of week 6 of flower. Going to let this girls go for 3 more weeks and then harvest. Learned a few important things this grow. Res changes are vital in preventing unused Nitrogen from accumulating during the transition week. I only get to maintenance/top off this girl once a week so I have to just live with the pH swings when I visit her each week. For week 7 I'll be starting to drop the ppm. No more Nitrogen at all, only light bloom feeding for weeks 7&8 and then week 9 I'll properly flush (She's still dark green!). Last regret is not utilizing the SCROG better. Because of this the nugs range in size where as I would have preferred all uniform buds. Another problem with this is that I've run out of height in the tent and am starting to see some bleaching on the tops of 2 of the tallest colas (See close up picture I have attached this week).

HomegrownGenetics Reducing the nutrients but she's still dark green. Think she's finally starting to finish up. 2 more weeks and I'll pull her.

HomegrownGenetics Harvesting tomorrow! Would've preferred a proper flush at lower PPM's but we'll see what happens.
Super happy with this grow for the little time I spent on this girl each week.

HomegrownGenetics Loved my first grow here on GrowDiaries. Having such a clean and organized site to post my diaries is such a blessing as other forums just never did it like this site does. Next grow will be a Think Different breeding project with this same setup. Looking to improve on my yields from this grow, but overall super happy. Thank you all for viewing!0000
@StereoGreen, Yes I chopped her down last Saturday. She's drying at the moment and hopefully should be done by Friday/Saturday. I'll weigh her and post the weights on the harvest tab. Gonna cure for 1-2months but I'll do a non-cured smoked report for ya :)
