Cruising. Kept the nutrients the same as last week as the plants are going a bit slower than advertised by crop king and Sonoma seeds. Looking like flowering will take ~10 weeks when all said and done.
Minor amount of defoliation done. Will be the last time to make sure I donโt stunt these autos. And ONLY defoliating. No pruning as Iโm too afraid it will stunt the plants.
Lots of buds forming now. Plants looking great. Noticed that the sun shines through my windows for several hours and directly onto the plants so I have started opening up the tent everyday and letting the sun shine on them. Helping to ripen the lower buds and have them be less larfy when all said and done. This does cause the plants to drink water like no other so have had to up the volume on fertigations.
Iโve been using a LUX meter to check and make sure top colas arenโt getting too much light. The thing works great! Well worth the purchase.
My mothers on the other side of the tent are big so need less light and as a result I have been able to move two of their lights in close to the flowering autos. The additional light is definitely helping bulk up the plant. Currently over the two plants there is (as listed) an HLG 135w Rspec, an HLG 100 V2 3000k, an HLG 65 V2 4000k and a Mars Hydro TS600. Tons of light!
Iโm in isolation as 2 of my housemates got COVID. As a result, I have a LOT of time to spend babying these plants and it is paying off.
See you next week!
