π± Day 57 - Start of the Second-to-Last Flowering Week π±
Hello, Grow Friends!
Today marks the start of the second-to-last flowering weekβWeek 9 overall, and Week 5 of flowering. πΏ Iβm getting more and more excited as my first grow nears its end. As I approach harvest, Iβve decided, based on my research, to stop feeding nutrients and stick to just pH-adjusted water for the final two weeks. π§βοΈ
Watering Routine:
Iβll keep the same watering scheduleβ1 liter every two days, which is about 10% of the pot volume. π±π§ This should be enough to flush out the remaining nutrients, ensuring a clean finish for the plant.
Temperature & Humidity:
The temperature remains stable between 19-23Β°C, which I believe is ideal for this stage of the grow. π‘οΈπ No more high temperatures to worry about! The humidity is fluctuating between 45-58%, and Iβm keeping a close eye on it to stay below 60%. π§π Everything seems on track for now. πΏ
Plant Health & Growth:
The plant still looks very healthy overall. π±πͺ However, Iβve noticed that in the past three days, there havenβt been any visible changes in the size of the buds. π€ It could just be that Iβm not seeing the growth clearly, but the only noticeable change is the daily opening of new flower calyxes. πΈ
Harvest Preparation:
Iβm already getting my equipment ready for drying after harvest. π οΈ Once itβs time to cut, Iβll be hanging the plant to dry for the first 10 days. πΏβοΈ I want to make sure everything is set for a smooth drying process.
Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, daily photos of the plant will be posted! πΈπ±
Day 62 - Last-Minute Decisions with Urgent Changes π±
Hello, my grow friends! Due to the trichome pictures I took on Day 61βwhich you can check out tooβIβve made an unexpected decision to harvest my plant a bit earlier than planned and make some changes.
πΏ Watering and Flushing:
The last time I watered was on Day 61, using all the usual nutrients at the doses I mentioned before. But after seeing the trichome pictures, I decided to start a light flush today. I gave the plant 4 liters of plain water to begin flushing and will now only water lightly on Day 64. After that, no more water until harvest on Day 67.
π Dark Period:
From Day 66 to Day 67, I plan to keep the plant in darkness. Iβm not entirely sure if this will make a difference, but Iβm curious to try it out.
βοΈ Defoliation:
The plant is doing well, and Iβve done a thorough defoliation. I removed all leaves that arenβt sugar leaves or directly attached to the buds to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of mold as I approach the end of the grow.
π Trimming Decisions:
Iβm still undecided about whether to do a wet trim or a dry trim. Based on what Iβve read, especially regarding the yield from trim, Iβm leaning towards dry trimming, as it might give me more usable trim material.
I can feel the plant entering its final phase, and Iβm getting really excited about the results and what the next few days will bring. Remember, I post a video update every day. If you have any tips or suggestions, Iβd love to hear them!
Until next time! π±
