Starting week 7 of Flower finds me planning the next 6, including scheduling a Flush and Tapering the Nutrients off in the next month.
- ReStaked a few branches for even spacing & At the End of last week I top-dressed both pots with fresh Soil n Sand.
-fresh material at play and the plants are using a lot of water.
-able to feel when the big pots are drier and ready for water, by lifting one-end regularly. Just to gauge weight... it’s working.
This grow has me trying to establish a much bigger root-ball; re 15 gal pots / 16 litre feeds ... I’ve laughed at some of the previous ones.
Feb 2nd, Buds are touching, conditions are being changed slowly mid-flower & hoping they get real chubby in the coming weeks.
With the constant reminders that quality grows take longer to mature in Flower than the literature usually states; my plan is to Flush sometime during week 10 (month end)
- Three weeks to make it count. Trichomes to dictate
Feb 4,
- getting my head around htf I’m going to flush this pair in 3+ weeks. Low ceiling+tall sink+tall plant.
Feb6
- slight reduction in Calimag and the next feed will see rapidstart reduced as well. Small moves but in the right direction.
- tonight is a scheduled feed. Volumes have been big over the last 3 weeks and I am deciding to give the plants an extra couple days without Water, to make sure it is on the dry side as we enter the 2nd half of flower.
Feb 7th
- the UV-B light just might be having an impact on the buds of the R plant. There are a number of buds that are becoming obviously covered in Resin Glands.
- used a moisture meter, the bottom of both pots is a bit wet. Patience wins...
This is the plant that physically is still ~ 10 days behind the L plant. just an observation...
As this week wraps-up, my plans for next week are to reduce the light cycle by 30 min to 11.5 hrs lite per day. And to drop the humidity another 2%. But that’s for next week.
All is going strong at this point, Buds are filling out, smell at the door of the tent is obvious; earthy & dank. Up close from touching a bud it explodes of a Citrus smell. That’s the best description so far
Feb 9th, almost a week since last water/nutes, tonight is a green light. Actually felt the pot lighter. Moisture Meter agreed. 17L later ...
- balanced the branches / supports and found a good fit between the two pots under the one light.
-adding more fresh air to the tent also helped drop the RH a bit.
Ready for this transition.
- A dry week in reality, cannot wait to see the changes next week after this last, big Max nutrient feed.
** bottom leaves had just began to droop as I watering the plant. Did manage to take it close to the edge mid-way through flower, now it’s Hungry at a critical time. Come on week 8
