Week 11 Day 71 (23/10/2020): Today is a BIG DAY, we are finally switching to 12/12 for flowering!!! We will be moving the girls to our new house on Sunday 25th which is why we are starting the switch from today. They will now be on a 12/12 schedule, with lights on at 2PM and lights off at 2AM starting today. Can't wait to see the flowering! Was also meant to water all the girls today but really had no time because I also need to measure their pH to see how many points to increase it by because it might have changed since I measured last. Will measure everything and water tomorrow and hopefully increasing the pH should result in some better nutrient uptake. Day 72 (24/10/2020)💧: So today I finally got to measure the pH of all the girls and it has actually decreased even more since I last checked and it was at 5.07. This is extremely low so no wonder she is having nutrient issues. I will be aiming to increase the pH to 6.2 (so by roughly 1 point and a bit) and will check tomorrow what the pH is t0 see if it has worked. I watered the girl at 2pm after the lights came on and gave her 1.5ml of pH+ (for 1.5L of water to increase by 1 point), 4.5ml of BioGrow and 3.5 of CalMag (I will start decreasing it over time as I see fit). I will also start giving them BioBloom at the next watering but wanted to give it some time to adjust to the increased pH levels. Hopefully this will stabilise the soil again and will allow all the girls to actually absorb the nutrients. Day 73 (25/10/2020): Today was a big day because we moved all the girls to a new apartment! Unfortunatelly because they are SO BIG AND TALL, they didn't fit in the car very well and we had to squash them down a little bit, so their leaves and tops got crumpled and Dos-Sweet-Dos was the only girl that got injured in the move (this is exactly why we kept them in veg for so long)! On of the branches snapped completely, we duct taped it as we have read that the sticky bit of the tape can actually help the branch heal. So we will see if the branch survives but even if it doesn't, the girl looks so massive and bushy that I don't think it will matter in the end. Because all the leaves were fucked up, I just took a picture of all the girls together since they need to recover for a day or two and straighten out after the move, and snapped a quick pic of the break. Day 74 (26/10/2020): No pictures or comments today because the girls are currently in a different flat where we are moving to and we will not be visiting it today, however I will go tomorrow to measure the pH and water them all as well. Day 75 (27/10/2020): Unfortunatelly didn't have time to go to the new flat today where the girls are now at. So I can't water them today and will have to do it tomorrow. I know they will probably look really wilted tomorrow but I am hoping that since I will be adding BioBloom along with BioGrow they will all be able to recover quickly. Day 76 (28/10/2020)💧: Thankfully we were able to come to the new flat today to water the girls and also checked their pH levels, but they all did look pretty bad. The pH is definitely better and I will check again in a few more waterings. The girl had a pH of 5.72 which is definitely an improvement but I added more pH+ in this watering. So today for their 1.5L of water I gave them 3ml of BioGrow (reducing because there is nitrogen already in BioBloom), 1.5ml of BioBloom (recommended for Week 1 of flower), 0.8ml of ph+, 3ml of CalMag, and also 2.5ml of Neem oil to get rid of the flies as there are still some in the soil. Quite the concoction! Day 77 (29/10/2020): The girls are definitely looking better after all the nutrients and water and look very happy. I also actually noticed today that some of the lower leaves are kind of curling down. Based on what I have seen online I think this is actually nitrogen burn because it is happening on the stems that are the lowest to the soil. I will definitely decrease the BioGrow to 1.5ml/1.5L and increase the BioBloom as recommended for 2nd week of flower, hopefully they will then be getting the correct levels of nutrients. But definitely really good progress this week and the girls are already showing some beautiful pistils! And best of all, the stem that had been damaged during the move seems to be all fine (will still be keeping the tape on for a bit).
