Week 9
Day 57 (09/10/2020):
I wanted to mention why we are keeping them in veg for so long: we are going to be moving houses in about 2 weeks we thought it would be better to transport them while they are still in veg and then switch them almost immediately after we have moved them. We would prefer that they not stay in veg for so long because they are growing so big that there won't be any space in the tent width or height-wise xD but unfortunately this is what we have to deal with so it's better long-term. Therefore, we will likely be switching them to flower at the start of week 11.
Day 58 (10/10/2020):
Not that many updates today, just some more fan leaves are getting yellow now instead of the smaller leaves. For tomorrow's watering I will be keeping the same amount of nutrients to see if they can be happy with that much and not keep showing deficiencies.
Day 59 (11/10/2020)๐ง:
Watered the girls today with the same amount of nutrients as last time (BioGrow 4.5ml/1.5L and 1ml of CalMag) and I want to see whether the leaves get more yellow with this amount or if they will be fine and I can keep it. If they do end up getting yellow quickly then I will need to increase the BioGrow at the next watering because they are so big and using so many nutrients. I am a bit cautious of using so much BioGrow though but I don't think this is any other issue. When they go in flower and I will start giving them BioBloom then I will reduce the BioGrow down again.
Day 60 (12/10/2020):
It is insane how big the girls are getting, they are like massive bushes now! They are looking refreshed after absorbing the nutrients. It's quite interesting that they still usually look a bit wilted in the morning but after the lights have been off and they have had time to absorb the nutrients through the roots then they look much better like day and night. There are definitely still loads of leaves going yellow and the bottom which means I will be increasing the BioGrow a little at the next watering.
Day 61 (13/10/2020):
I sprayed all the girls with Neem oil today just before lights out as usual because still keep seeing a fly or two every now and then when checking them. What's interesting is that they looked a bit wilted before lights out when I was spraying them but perked up again after lights out which means the roots are still absorbing the nutrients. I also noticed that the leaves are going yellow on the corners but green in the centre, and I am not sure if that is still the nitrogen deficiency or something else.
Day 62 (14/10/2020)๐ง:
So I finally received distilled water to check the pH today and found that the pH has actually been below 6.0, it is currently around 5.8 for all the girls which completely explains why I am giving them so many nutrients and they are just not able to absorb it because of the low pH. I have also ordered the BioBizz pH+ that increases pH which you use it in the feed and it should arrive some time next week. In the mean time, I did water them all today and I gave 5ml of BioGrow and will be stopping the CalMag as they look good on that side and are not showing deficiencies as the other girls in the tent.
Day 63 (15/10/2020):
Some more leaves have fallen off today that were more yellow. I usually just lightly push on the base of the stem of the leaf and if it falls off easily then I take it off, because otherwise these leaves dry up inside the bush that these girls are and end up rotting/drying. I really hope that the pH+ arrives soon so I can start fixing these problems before they go into flower in about a week or so.
