Poison is the Antidote

Week 12 (Week 3 of Flower) So far things are moving along nicely. The plants are healthy and growing and the smell is getting sweeter and more intense with each day. We're going to continue pushing our light intensity a bit higher and so far we've been able to achieve adequate cooling through fresh, outdoor air intake. We're hoping the buds will continue to stack but so far things are looking promising. We're going to do one last defoliation this week, to provide more light to the bud sites, especially on Plant #2, which has much more dense foliage. Day 78 (day 18 of flower): - no changes - Plant #1 seems to be producing more trichomes than Plant #2. Day 79 (day 19 of flower): - increased light intensity from 75% to 78%. - set exhaust fan thermostat to 78F. When the temperature reaches 78F, the exhaust fan turns on and the negative pressure draws in fresh, outside air via a 4" duct. So far we haven't had to use the air conditioner but that may change as our light moves past 80% or if the outside temperatures aren't cold enough. Day 80 (day 20 of flower): - increased light intensity from 78% to 80% Day 81 (day 21 of flower): - watered Plant #2 with a 600ppm nutrient solution, pH 6.4. - runoff levels tested at 1,750ppm and pH 6.8. Day 82 (day 22 of flower): - smell is getting stronger, more trichome production. - increased light intensity from 80% to 85% Day 83 (day 23 of flower): - watered Plant #1 with 8L of dechlorinated tap water with 500ppm nutrients, pH 6.3. - runoff from Plant #2 tested at only 1070ppm, which is way down from last week. She seems to be hungry! The runoff tested at pH 7.0, which is the highest it's been so far, despite consistently watering with mixtures around pH 6.2/6.3. Day 84 (day 24 of flower): - no changes
