Not a whole lot has changed since last week. The nugs are getting fatter, the smell is getting stronger and Im getting more and more impatient. 3 more weeks I keep telling myself. Started playing around with white balance settings and some different filter lenses for my phone, as well as a 20x macro lens. Wish it was just a bit more magnification, but was still able to get some cool trichome shots. There is some discoloration happening around the edges of the leaves, mostly the top ones, that I am not sure what is causing it. Im thinking it might have been nute burn so Ive backed off a bit more on the nutes to see if it makes a difference, but im also wondering if theres some salt uildup in the blocks due to them not fully saturating the bigger block when watering, due to the smaller block on top and not wanting to make a mess. There is also what looks like a lightening of the leaves directly under the light. They are still green, just not as dark as the leaves on the outer edges of the grow. The leaves have also started cupping up a bit so I backed off my light to 750W. Im thinking with my current setup 1000W at this stage is a bit too much. I plan on moving my light higher on the next grow but right now with how everything is hung it would be a PIA to try to move it higher so Im just going to leave it and turn it down a bit. I also noticed they are not drinking as much, remaining heavier and heavier each day at the same time which led me to watering later and later at night to compensate. I got to a point where I couldnt stay up any later to water them and they were still pretty heavy by 1am so I decided to try leaving one of them overnight without watering. It went through the extra night just fine so I did the same with all 4 on the next feeding. Unfortunately, my little fan below the canopy was pointed slightly toward one of the my cubes and it ended up drying out on me. Next day that one plant was droopy. It came back fine after watering, but within a couple days I noticed the white hairs were all turning red on the one plant that was underwatered. Im thinking the stress caused it to start ripening pre-maturely. Glad its only one but I just hope it continues to grow along with the rest. This is the reason Im building a self watering system using moisture sensors. It wont be ready in time for this grow, but the next one will be fully automated and I wont have this issue again. Overall though, very happy with how things are going. Already starting to think about what strain or strains I want to grow for my next run. If all goes well the next 3 weeks I should have enough bud to keep me going until the next harvest. Cant wait :)

Currently waiting on an order of Floraflex full tilt nutes, unfortunately, they may not make it in time for this grow due to shipping delays. Does anyone out there know of any other bloom additives l could use with Floraflex B1 and 2 to give my girls a boost mid to late flower?

Very nice!! I am about to try the floraflex full tilt and quick bag system here very soon!!! Can’t wait to see your diaries! Anyway, Jacks Nutrients (not very well known, but used in commercial grow operations) has a 10/30/20 bloom booster that’s good for mid flower. Good luck on the floraflex!!! I’ll be right behind ya! ✌️🏻💚🌿

Im getting some browning on the serrated edges of the leaves, moreso on the upper fan leaves, but not on the sugar leaves, with some cupping of the upper leaves and the ones directly under the light are getting a lighter color overall. Any guesses? Light, nutes, wind or heat?

My first guess is heat, maybe raise the light a bit as those 1000w hps lights get real warm. Also I would back the nutrient strength off a bit as I think it was 3.4EC according to your diary and that’s very very high in anyone’s book. I think I saw a few leaves in your diary where the tips looked a little burnt and pointed up which is a indication it’s a bit too much for them. Camera angle made it hard to see clearly. Your room ambient temp is ok according to your diary but maybe under the lights it’s a little warmer. Back the nutrient strength off a bit, create a larger gap between the lights or try and drop the room temp down a bit and observe for improvements👍Looks good though on a whole
