12/20- Here we go into Week 7 of flower! The girls have some huge colas now and still have 3-4 weeks to go. From past experience I know they're going to swell up dramatically in the next couple of weeks and are going to end up with some GINORMOUS colas on them! Both received .5g de-chlorinated water with Botanicare CalMag+ added, then ph'd to 6.4 using Alchemist PH Down with a strength of 300 ppm / 0.8 EC @ 74 deg. I tucked a few shade leaves and rotated each 1/2 turn.
12/22- The girls had a 'dry' day yesterday, today they feast! Each lady received .75g de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms Nutrients added (Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom/Bembe/ChaChing) that was then ph'd to 6.4 @ 74 deg. with a solution strength of 1400ppm 2.8 EC. The cola's are getting bigger by the day and are ROCK HARD!
12/24- Christmas Eve! Today the girls received .75g each de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g Botanicare CalMag+ added then ph'd to 6.4 @ 74 deg. using Alchemist PH Down. One of the branches on the #1 pheno was completely bent over due to the weight of the huge cola. I took a piece of padded horticulture wire and secured it to a sturdy branch to get it back upright. They are really stacking now and getting very aromatic! The # 2 pheno's stalks are so stiff you can't bend or train them and as a result the lower portions of her colas are not getting the light I'd like to see them getting. I'm going to try to come up with a way to spread her out slightly to get some light down deep to really ripen those entire HUGE colas!
12/25- MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!! ππ
12/26- The ladies got fed today with .75g of de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms nutrients added (Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom/Bembe/ChaChing) and then ph'd to 6.4 @ 75 deg. They're starting to get a little fade on some of their older shade leaves now and have a little burning on leaf tips, but nothing I'm concerned with. Going into Week 8F will be starting their flush as they are 9 week finishers and the #1 phenotype looks to possibly be progressing faster, so maybe 8 1/2 weeks for her...we'll see!
@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!ππ
