Packing on lots of weight now. Did a partial defoliation at end of week 6. Next water will be the flush. Trichomes are approximately 75% cloudy with a few amber. Very happy with this grow so far.
This was an unplanned grow journal, was bored at work and figured I’d put something together. Better/more pics will be added moving forward and for future journals.
Started the flush earlier this week with ph’d water. Got the TDS of the runoff down to 400. Noticed a bit of burn on one of the plants a few days after flushing, nothing of serious concern though.
The buds just keep getting fatter! Trichomes are plentiful and colours are looking good (10% amber currently). The smell coming out of the tent this week is incredible. This one should finish up in the next 1.5-2 weeks! Expecting some excellent yields from this grow.
Ready to harvest? Not something I usually struggle with but breeder suggests 9-10 weeks flower and I’m just coming to the end of week 8. I upgraded my light recently and it advertises reducing flower time but this seems extreme. Thoughts? Pics are a few days old as well.
If the advertised wattage is correct of 660 watts draw and depending on the footprint that is a lot of umol. And I don't know with all the different opinions of when and how much Amber you should have.. It's really tough to say if it's ready for you.. If it's all cloudy with very little to light amber.. Then I'd say your ready and I'd chop. But some seem to prefer the amber... Amber does not make for potency and the more amber the cough.. In my opinion. But it's totally a preference so I will leave it at that.
End of week 8 and I’m amazed with how nice and fat the buds are looking. The biggest crown is now fatter then my wife’s hand is wide! Had to travel for work for the week and could not believe how much the calyxs had swollen while I was gone. Yellowing of leaves has increased significantly as well as some of the fan/sugar leaves turning a beautiful dark purple colour.
Checked trichomes today and they’re at about 30% amber now. Turned the light off and will leave them in darkness for about 48 hours. Planning to chop them down on Tuesday of this week! Looking forward to what will probably be a record harvest for myself!
Second grow of this strain turned out to be much more successful then the first one. After re-calibrating my PH pen, and another reminder as to how important PH levels are, I was able to dial things in for this second attempt.
Upgrades to the flower light, and allowing for a full flower cycle under it, definitely contributed to the success of this grow. I’d highly recommend the IF Equinox 660 to anyone looking for a midrange light to upgrade their indoor setup. Also Remo nutrients have never let me down, and are very beginner and cost friendly.
Thank you to the grow community for the positive feedback. I appreciate the advice and knowledge I’ve gotten along the way and I think it’ll help me get my girls to an even higher level with the next one! I’ll be dropping more seeds this week and will continue to add grow diaries as I go.
