What is going on my Grow Diary friends. It's the start of Week 8, Day 50 and I'm starting to prepare for flush by lowering my nutrient amounts down until they aren't being used any more. I got some New Millenium Winter Frost to use during flush for this grow and I think I'm going to use small amounts of my Roots Organics Trinity (molasses/yucca blend) in my flush as well to see if it helps the sugars and trichomes fatten up a bit. Never fully dialed the deficiency problem but it never got to the point that I feel it was harmful to the plant, but think it was a Nitrogen deficiency on the BD mostly. Then I think the Arise could have been a mixture of needing a little N and possibly a ph issue. I just went ahead and pulled the trigger on a Blue Lab pen, which has been amazing so far. My old ph pen was from a brand called Sure Test and it was around $60 (US doll hairs). It was amazing for me honestly, and it's calibration stayed good for a while. The blue lab has a checkmark icon lit up when your pen is calibrated so if you don't see a checkmark, you need to calibrate it. I think this is an incredible feature, just so you know the numbers are right and you don't have to calibrate before every use if you're wanting to make sure it's calibrated every time. I wish you guys could smell this Arise though.......straight up lemon head candy, I'm excited for these!
We're getting close to flush time and close to the end. I am thinking these are going to need around 75-80 days, but honestly over the last week or so they have really done some bulking and a lot of those stigmas (white hairs) are disappearing or browning. Usually wait until Day 55 or so before I check the trichomes, unless you can just tell it's an early finisher. I'm honestly ready to get this grow done so I can go ahead and finish renovating the grow room so I can begin a pheno hunt. Thanks to any of you following along with me for this grow. It's my first time using this platform, but I will be using it again since it was pretty neat. I also gave them both an emergency phosphorus top feed to see if that helps with some of the deficiencies they have been having. Just been on cruise control, getting the nutes lowered to nil before I start flush here in a couple days.
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, Thank you sir! I just rolled a 2g King palm with a few tops for my YT channel review after a month cure. Definitely my favorite plant I've grown yet.
