*******Week 5 - January 6 to 12, 2020
She entered flower this week. First 2/3s were transition and she was finicky at this time.....still is at the end of the week.....or at minimum certainly not on an autopilot at this point.
No issues of anything but for IPM, Friday she was sprayed with Plant Therapy by Lost Coast. Mixed at 2ml/L. Done at lights out but was a little slow and ended up spraying about 20 minutes after lights out. Things seemed fine and she had great growth over Saturday night.
The first part of the week the growth was not as vertical. By the end of the week she had shot up. Finally feel comfortable removing some leaves now and there was a slight defoliation this week. Now should have a good form to her with four tops competing for the “top spot”......no FIM either........LST works👋. Expect to see more vertical growth this week. She was 16” tall and 24” wide by weeks end. Tied her down twice this week. She has 2 main stems competing each other, of 4 or 5, but think I will let the two of them duke it out and I will keep them the same height as each other💪😎💪 This strain is supposed to have some fat buds on the AMS and given this girl will not do the same with LST, I will see how these 2 form compared to the other large branches. I still have a couple more seeds from this pack so learning a bit for the future as well.👊
First half of the week she stayed droopy on the lower 2/3’s. Might have been pushing her a bit....a little wet causing droopy and getting pretty green so she is getting the nutes😳😡😳. Dry out day on Thursday and water only on Friday. Backed off the light more and she has taken off finally over the weekend.👊 She has not liked the light at full power at 18”......lowered power and backed off to 40” for a day and she was better. Lowered down again to 28” with HLG at 50% and holding there for now. Still going to sleep about an hour and half before lights out but getting better.
We are getting close to half way👏
Little more detail:
Mon - Jan 6/20 - Day 29

Tues - Jan 7/20 - Day 30
- dry-out day
- looking like a ball :)
Wed - Jan 8/20 - Day 31
- since nothing yesterday she was fed at 6:30am today. 900ppm with 6.0pH - 1.5L
- run-off: 700ppm, 6.0pH
- pots were light late in evening and no time next morning.....watered again late today.
- 2L in PM with 975ppm, 5.9pH.
- run-off: 650ppm, 6.0pH.
- small growth removed from lowest branches. They will be blocked anyway.
- she is certainly getting greener.
Thurs - Jan 9/20 - Day 32
- sick today.....I did nothing for her :(
- dry-out day.....pots were still okay in evening......or good enough
Fri - Jan 10/20 - Day 33
- she is standing up more today....main branches starting to take off.
- water only today......1L with 6.01pH.....kept light.....giving IPM
- Spray with Plant Therapy 12:30pm, 2ml/L (2Tbsp/gal)
- Everything is fine but I have fought thrips before and have two cats....spray them💀👻💀
Love pets like crazy but even when not allowed in the grow room I still find their hair here and there in my bud shots😇👹😇 Sticky buds love that😥😪
Sat - Jan 11/20 - Day 34
-she is pretty happy today. 4 main stems competing.
- pots were light....she is feeding well.
- gave 2L feed but DF went in at 2ml/L by mistake..... 1,000ppm, 6.05pH.
- Terpinator upped to 3ml/L from 2ml prior.
Sun - Jan 12/20 - Day 35
- Huge growth last night....leaves filling out, standing up, and node spacing growing.💪🙏😍
- Flower sites are tight together.....she will stack nicely😛👌
- focus on some supplementals with flower going.
- Added Piranha & Voodoo Juice from Advanced....their schedule is first two weeks of flower, 2ml/L
- Full 2L feed. Kept the base low. 725ppm, 5.95pH.
- Pulled out and stripped a couple more lower inner growth sites.
- measured: 16” tall x 24” wide......after tying down....strong week of growth.
Coming week is to focus on more the same.....minor changes to temp or humidity....will start cooling off evenings more and decrease humidity range to 55 - 58%.
Only three to four more full weeks feeding left......she goes quick with autos😮😮 Considering trying out a real high potassium adaptive to counter act some of the high nitrogen she looks like she experience, to help keep up bud density.......Terpinator should do the same thing though - increase the amount given closer to manufacture recommendations.
*****next run keep closer eye on light intensity.....this girl liked to ease into the increased light.
