**Week of Wednesday 5/19/2021 - Tuesday 5/25/2021**
So first thing is that I'm kicking myself in the ass for not getting the battery pump sooner...it's made water changing a breeze.
My workload hasn't really gotten any better unfortunately so I'm still swamped with other shit going on in my life.
My PH has been steadily dropping no matter what I do. I dropped the Liquid Karma this last week mostly to lower the overall ppms, but it really had little to no effect. I'm wondering if this could be the large size of the plant and small reservoir (just shy of 4 gallons), and at this stage there is no "fix" to my dropping PH issue.
The pistols are roughly about 40% red right now on most of the buds. The trichome situation is mostly cloudy, maybe 10% or less clear, and 5% amber as of yesterday evening. That being said I will be harvesting this coming Memorial Day weekend on Sunday 5/30. I am going to start my flush with R/O water this evening.
I was really hoping the buds would bulk up more, but I still think I will hopefully get a respectable harvest. It's really hard to say though because there is a lot of bud sites I just can't see due to how many leaves are in the way. I'm not sure I'm going to really get much quality or respectable size from these bud sites, however. The buds at the top though are quite dense.
I think with how much larfy stuff I am seeing, I will probably get a decent amount of hash. If you notice in most of my pictures there is what looks like a large bud on the left front of the closet. That is one giant larfy bud, and there are two below it I've never managed to capture in pictures. This will be my first attempt ever of making hash and I will be using the dry ice method. I will be freezing the larf and trim overnight and then making the hash the following day (Memorial Day).
I will be wet trimming and hang drying individual branches. Thankfully I have someone that will be coming to help me do that job (for a generous reward of course).
Welp, I can't really think of anything else to say for now!
Is this root rot? I have fixed my temps in the last 4 days. I am already using H&G Roots Excelurator. Is Hydroguard better or should I use both? I also tried fixing light leaks. Any other suggestions?
You should be using both. As the last person said root accelerate nutrient helping grow roots faster, while hydrogaurd is a beneficial bacteria that will keep your roots healthy during harsher environment. Things like slightly higher res temps.
@PigBearMan, I'm sorry to hear that man. Most of my family is from the southern states so I understand exactly what your saying. Luckily I'm in a fairly temperate area, although the winters can be harsh. However, I'm growing indoors so it's much easier to deal with than high humidity and temps.
@Bertoxxulous, where i live the temperatures and the RH are pretty shitty. Summer, 28°C and 65% RH. Good for veg but not for flowering and smoking. It's like a fucking sponge. Like wet camp fire. I putting my 7 weeks old weed still in the microwave for 15 sec. Ridicolous. Will not grow next summer for sure.
@Bertoxxulous, yeah I am the same I couldn’t take to vaping and I bought the mighty vaporiser (just not the same) so I smoke blunts much nicer! Well the terpene most at this stage I thought limonene and that’s where the real lime/citrus taste. But also a spicy background which could be the caryophyllene. I am curing for a few weeks and I just know this will get better!
@TheGreenQueen420, Thank you so much! I cannot freaking wait! I saw your harvest pics, and you did an excellent job!!! All I have right now is shitty vape pen cartridges and I'm almost out of those too. I will never buy a vape pen cartridge ever again after this. I thought it would be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but boy was I wrong. Maybe others feel differently, but I do not like them. Are there any distinct terpene you are picking up?
