Stella is still moving along with the late bloom nutrient level this week. Sheâs getting close to the ripening stage, but still a week away.
Today she received a full gallon of water mixed with the following nutrients:
CALiMAGic - 2 ml
FloraMicro - 3.8 ml
FloraGro - 3.8 ml
FloraBloom - 4.2 ml
Floralicious Plus - 2 ml
Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml
The pH was 6.6, and wasnât adjusted. She took nearly the whole gallon before giving back some runoff, but it was sufficient.
The runoff pH was 6.3. The tent was 80.5F, with a humidity of 60%.
She is starting to fatten up and her branches are starting to get weighed down. Iâve already used all of my LST poles on other plants, so Iâm going to have to figure out a way to make more space.
She sits in the middle of the tent, surrounded by 4 of her daughters, and a smaller auto-period plant sitting on a box in front of her.
My tent is FULL! I ran out of time today and didnât get any new pics of her, so I added one that I didnât use the other day.
Take care, and happy growing everyone!
If youâre in the USA đșđž, July 4thđ„, happy Independence Day!!

Well, it finally happened! Stellaâs branches have gotten heavy enough to tip her over when she has space to herself. She is in the tent with several other large plants (her 4 daughters + 1), so she rests nestled amongst them, so she stands. When I took two of her daughters out of the tent to feed them, she tipped right over.
To make a VERY long story short; I tied her upright with almost all of her branches bundled up loosely so that they all get light, then fastened her to the back of the tent. Itâs going to make feeding her tricky, but sheâll be stable, and getting full light exposure. It also opens up more space in the tent. Not much, but some. I tied up her daughters branches too.
Enough about that.
She received a full gallon of water mixed with the same nutrient level as the last feeding noted above.
The solution pH was 6.5, and wasnât adjusted. She gave back plenty of runoff with a pH of 6.3.
The tent was 83F, and humidity was 65%. Thatâs a little high to me, at least compared to my previous grows. However, my tent has never been this full before.
I adjusted the fan to a higher height, and with all the plants tied up somewhat using LST methods, Iâve increased open space between them with hope of improving air flow.
Weâll have to see how it goes. Happy growing everyone!

Iâm just going to write the basics today. Stella is still triced up nicely in the back of the tent so that she doesnât fall over because of the weight of her own branches. Her buds are continuing to fatten up, and she looks lovely! Orange hairs all through her buds!
Yummy!!
Sheâs still getting the late bloom nutrients till next week when we actually begin the ripening stage. Today she took a gallon of the following:
CALiMAGic - 2 ml
FloraMicro - 3.8 ml
FloraGro - 3.8 ml
FloraBloom - 4.2 ml
Floralicious Plus - 2 ml
Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml
The pH was 6.6. I thought of adjusting it, but decided that it was good enough. She gave back plenty of runoff with a pH of 6.3.
The temp was 83.3F, with a humidity of 54%.
I didnât take any pictures of her today. I was running between 2 rooms, and feeding other plants and just forgot. đ€·ââïž
Iâll get pics later. Happy growing everyone!
