First grow

Late update for week 5 of flower 🌹! Nevertheless got through it ! Not too much has changed, maybe more bud formation caused the buds to get a little bit bigger. I had an interesting last couple of days, because I’m growing in Happy Frog 🐸 with no perlite or drainage system I find the nutrients tend to build up sometimes, but not an issue, as soon as I notice some weird leaves or burnt tips, I usually just flush them with clean 6.2 water for a couple of days. I’m still at war with the aphids, I find this unacceptable and would like to definitely avoid them in the future, I’m probably going to need some tips for the next grow and am looking into cleaning my tent after this grow, seeing leaves with honeydew is so disappointing, but I’m almost into week 6 of flower so I guess I’m almost done. So I noticed that maybe the nutrient might of been building up, the tips were a little burnt, and ironically I couldn’t find an aphid when I overfed so I thought that made them take a couple steps backward. I flushed my plants for three days straight and now I think everything is back to normal, the plants seem to look like they loved the clean water as buds grew over the last three days. But after three days of no nutrients I noticed a couple of aphids here and there, so I trimmed the leaves I noticed that had some. The plants are back on the nutrient schedule, I only did 3 days of PK13/14 so I’de like to get another 4 more days in as well. Good Trichome formation, still clear, I’m waiting on the trichomes to be cloudy ☁️☁️☁️ ! I think I’m going to trim a little bit of the leaves that I see with honeydew every day. What to do about the aphid residue? Not sure I want that on my leaves after harvest... Home stretch on Wednesday, that is week 6... two weeks left to the approximate 8 week flowering schedule. Best of luck to me and other growers 🤞 F@#K aphids💪 Happy growing 🌱
