Week 9
D56 - seems to be doing ok, buds doing their thing still and getting a bit of a chunk, a bit of a frost and a bit of a tang on the nose. Pleased that she seems to be pulling through my mistreatments relatively unscathed. Light damage seems to have halted, or at least slowed way down. Even if she limps to the finish I won't mind. I love my plant.
D57 - every day I open the tent the flowers seem to have gotten bigger, hell, every few hours when I can't help but check on her they look bigger. Will give her some water and food today, I think I'm gonna give her a little boost of flowering nutes in the form of Biobizz bloom, in addition to a dose of Bactrex. I'm hesitant to add more N at this stage and I believe the Orgatrex component of the Biotabs kit is 5-1-5, so the Biobizz bloom (2-7-4) is probably better suited to this stage of growth. All organics so not too concerned. Biotabs seem to keeping everything mostly in check. Can't hurt to add some more beneficial microbes from Bactrex... I think.
D58 - 2.2L water with 5ml Orgatrex, 1g Bactrex per litre. Seemed to enjoy it! Didn't bother using my Biobizz nutes, they're fairly old and smelled a bit off, so would probably do more harm than good. in the bin they go. Probably won't feed her again, maybe once more in a week depending on progress but I think the biotabs in the soil will take her to the finish line
D59 - looking nice today, still lots of new pistils growing and some beginning to curl up into the buds. been plucking some of the dying lower fan leaves off as I peek in, accidentally tore a little bit of stem away with one of them so hopefully that won't cause too many problems. pleased with the development! getting nice n stanky
D60 - added pics. nice development! buds starting to get nice and fat. will begin checking trichomes with a loupe probably next week, don't want to get too ahead of myself.
D61 - pics
D62 - 2.2L plain water. looking real nice today, the buds are still developing nicely. I'm considering harvesting the top buds first and letting the rest of the plant run a bit longer, just need to figure out logistics of that. the lower buds could really do with a bit more time. happy to have had a problem free week anyway, coming up to the home stretch and I'm delighted with the progress
@GreenHillZone, first time grower here... Makes it relatable... My mistakes are piling up too and thankfully my girls resilient so far... Top 3 advise for a noob like.me?
@Sweet_Seeds,
Thanks folks, this is my second time running this strain and thankfully it is as forgiving as my first run! Noob errors piling up but the plant taking in her stride. Will have more details of my blunders in weekly update on Sunday.
@Dirty_Hippy,
My default drying environment is on the higher side of acceptable humidity, touching 60%, so I like to get a head start on drying while the light is running.
I'm not letting it get bone dry necessarily, just to the point where I'd normally be watering again.
There is some anecdotal evidence that shows additional stress in end stages helps increase resin production. You may have heard of people giving 48 hours of darkness before harvest to try achieve this. I'd be reluctant to do this considering humidity, but maybe there's some effect of drought type environment too, who knows.
In the end I dont know if it's the best idea or optimal. This is only my second grow, first one in exact same drying environment + conditions, dry pot etc. gave me a 7 day dry plus a couple days in paper bags, and a lovely tasting smoke.. so after all my rambling I guess it's a case of "if it ain't broke!"
Thanks for msgs bud, good luck!
@GreenHillZone, Sure thing man. I am curious why let the pot dry out? I like to chop mine full of water because it helps extend the drying process a little bit. Depending on the season and location and ambient RH, I think manipulating the dry so it lasts 7+ days is crucial. I like it to go 10-12 days before I jar. Clearly you know what you are doing, just thought I'd offer that up. Cheers
@Dirty_Hippy, thanks for stopping by. Yours is ticking over nicely too!
Aiming for 10-20% amber, shes basically there right now and will be getting chopped in a couple of days! Just waiting on the pot to dry out a little more. I was checking daily and seeing only milky, wondering if my microscope skills were lacking and then boom, yesterday there were heaps of noticeable and unmistakable amber. Looking forward to getting her down and starting the next one!
Thanks again for your msg, good luck!
No Idea how I didn't see this sooner. Nice lookin ladies!! So fun to watch goodvibs kickin ass and now I got yours to drool on too. I'm just a little behind you both so it's like seeing the future. Happy Harvests bro!
@GreenHillZone, Sure thing man. Agreed experience is key. In my experience, humility and failure are the two greatest teachers. One is just hard to do now and the other just sucks till you learn from it. Both have the potential to yield amazing harvests of knowledge. :D Happy Harvest man I got you followed so I'll be watchin :P
@Dirty_Hippy, thank you for the kind words buddy. It really is helpful to see what the future holds when running a grow. I must've read 100 diaries on here before I even planted a seed, but there really is no substitute for experience.. in my experience :D
Just taking a look at your speed run now, looks f'n gorgeous.
Thanks again for popping in, good luck with the rest of your run!
