11/29- Week 13...Here we go! The tent is getting ready to blow up in flowers! Watered to today with 1/2g each of de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g Botanicare Silica Blast added, then ph'd to 6.4 @ 74 deg. Girls are both looking fabulous and are building mass on their buds daily which are getting frosty already!
11/30- I let both the girls dry out today (lifting the pots to tell how wet they are). All I really had to do today was tuck a couple of shade leaves here and there and sing to my girls!
12/1- Fed both today with .75g de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms liquid/granular nutrients added (Tiger Bloom/Big Bloom/Grow Big/Bembe/Open Sesame) to achieve a final solution of 1600ppm's 3.0 EC @ 75 deg. , then ph'd to 6.4.
12/2- I raised the HLG 650R's up as high as I could get them which puts them both @ 30-34" above canopy which, after doing some additional research, is going to give the best overall coverage of the entire tent. I also lowered both Hurricane 16" fans down a bit to clear the lights and adjusted the cold air ducting behind them. The changes have made a noticeable improvement in not only light coverage/avg. ppfd, but also in the average high temperature in the tent which is now maintaining 78 deg. with the AC Infinity Cloudline T6 controller set on '3' and the IdealAir 14K btu air conditioner set to Low Cool @ 70 deg. RH is 50-55% and the CO2 levels run between 1300-1500 ppm's. The ladies are LOVING it and it really shows in their vigorous growth and rapid flower development! No water today, tomorrow they'll both get de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms Sledgehammer added ph'd to 6.4 @ 72-75 deg. with a 300 ppm 0.6-0.8 EC
12/4- Girl's had their water with Sledgehammer added yesterday (I also hit them with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+) and are looking beautiful today...Lush and lovely! No water today, they'll get water with nutrients tomorrow. The HLG 650R lights are now at max height in the tent putting them 30-34" above the current canopy. *note to self: install the extension kit on the 4x8 before the next run! Light coverage from the pair of 650R's in the Gorilla 4x8 is absolutely phenomenal and the ladies are eating it up! They're really forming super nice bud structures, stacking tightly, and starting to really get frosty with a strong spicy aroma to them at the moment. They're stretch is just about over and both pheno's seemed to remain fairly short with similar structures. The fasciated bud on the #2 phenotype is getting huge and at its current rate of growth is going to be HUGE!
12/5- Fed the ladies today with .75g each of de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms nutrients added (Grow Big/Tiger Bloom/Big Bloom/Bembe/Beastie Bloomz) for a final solution strength of 1750 ppm's / 3.4 EC / 74 deg. with a final ph of 6.4. they are continuing to stack their flowers nicely and have a decent amount of 'frost' forming as well making them very sticky ladies! The #2 phenotype looks like she's just going to be a shorty but she will definitely be able to support huge cola's as her stalks are hard and stiff as heck...no bending them! They both continue to be extremely vigorous and easy to grow cultivars tolerating training, stress, nutrients etc. The next few weeks they'll be bulking up and getting prettier by the day! Onward to next week! ๐๐
@Inganjawetrust, thanks so much! They're a bit slow on the stretch but they should still put on another few inches before they start really getting busy!๐๐
