Week 8!
We've seen some challenges leading up to this point so far, with Plant #2 showing the results of what insanely high EC levels can do and how important it can be to know what's going in to the soil and what's coming out.
Luckily, things seem to be straightening out and both plants are putting on bud weight.
Day 50:
- did some very light defoliation, removing a few fan leaves that were blocking bud sites on both plants.
- the smell is starting to get much stronger than it was last week.
Day 51:
- watered with a 310ppm nutrient solution, using 3ml of Remo's Bloom nutrients + GH's CaliMagic per gallon of dechlorinated (by aeration) tap water.
Day 52:
- nothing to report
Day 53:
- tent temperatures reached a bit higher than normal due to warmer outside temperatures. 80F instead of 78F, for approximately 8hrs.
Day 54:
- Plant #2 has an extremely sweet smell, sort of like grape.
- Plant #1 is smells similar but not quite as sweet and not quite as much grape.
Day 55:
- Probably should have watered today but we're leaving it one more day.
Day 56:
- watered with plain, dechlorinated (by aeration) tap water.
- used small amount of bloom nutrients to adjust pH from 7.1 to 6.4, resulting in a weak 55ppm nutrient solution.
- watered to runoff (maybe 10%).
- Plant #2 runoff testing at 6.3 pH and 1850ppm, which is higher than we expected.
- did some light foliage trimming, mostly on plant #2, to remove dead and mostly-dead leaves.
