The week before flowering

Week 6 starts exactly where we left, with 55.5 and 79 cm height for smallest/tallest plant. Humidity is currently fixed rollercoastering around 50/55%, but that’s mostly due to current weather and a bit due to the fact that I remembered I own an indoor fan with a simple cooling option – a fabric being drawn through a water tank before fan blows through it –, and placed to blow agains the tent air inlet it’s cooling the air slightly while adding some percents of humidity. Perfect for the moment. Girls are currently not that hungry. Their soil is still moist enough to make it through today. Think I’ll start tomorrow with the first full round of blooming fertilisers. On morning of day 43, soil had become pretty dry – I did not have time to water them last evening. I removed their lowest, now quite yellow/brown fan leaves and gave each one about 0,5 l of only RO water with some CalMag. Don’t want to risk any over-fertilising. Soil was so dry water first filled their plates but was sucked into the soil immediately after. Leave removing gave me a good impression about terpene production really kicking in. I don’t smell much when I open the tent (again quite dry surrounding air), but moving them a bit released extremely fruity, sweet odour. Yummy! On day 44, that very distinctive smell has increased. Bud growth is growth too, so tallest plant’s height is now as good as 80 cm. Sherbets‘ buds are indeed getting a slight bright purple touch, but still not clear enough to be visible in a highly processed image. (Don’t ask me why the colors look that different every day. I am using exactly the same lighting conditions and image adjustments.) Talking about colors: More old fan leaves, still the lowest ones, still those that I would cut anyway to give the branches more light, are starting to fade. Shall we call this a mostly uninfluenced grow with natural lollipopping? Day 45: Will have to give them some water today. They are still not really that thirsty, with about half a litre per plant every 2.5th day or so. Speed of action has clearly slowed down currently. Instead of half a litre, I gave each one a full. Comparing the week’s photos so far, I think that bud growth is quite ok. Although I miss the time they were stretching quite a bit. Can it be Hesi Bloom Boost (and the rest) really boosted them overnight? When trying to get a focus with the microscope lens attached to the mobile, I incidentally touched a bud and was struck at how sticky it feels already. Slight signs of over-fertilisation on the tips of tallest plants on day 47. Next drink will be without, and I’ll reduce dosage by about 25% further on. Day 48, and end of week 6. Somehow autumn has broken out (but don’t worry too much; image processing produced some differences too): I was presented with a lot of yellow fan leaves today. I have problems keeping the humidity high enough, weather is warm and dry and every manual misting will only hold for an hour at most, while its often bringing the humidity over the best range for a short time. Or is that normal behaviour? The buds already look pretty mature, with quite some hairs drying. But this is only end of week 6, and I think I should get at leat two more weeks, or shouldn’t I? Leaves around the buds are all in very good shape, except for that few brown edges that have not grown.

Everything is goin good! Trichomes are comin on heavy and bude are fillin out all is right so far!

Second week of flowering in the bag, and they’re all looking really healthy, even healthier than when I first threw them in the flower steady as she goes

08.05. Week 1 Flower. Sadly I did not take any pics with my DSLR, so there are only the timelapse images. Not to worry as not too much happened either way. I'm still pretty screwed by the humidity but the dehumidifier starts to do it's job. VPD around 0.7 kPa. I also did some heavy defolitation for the start of flower and installed a trellis net.

Week 6 is a short one. Humidity is high as shit but I've just ordered a dehumidifier. VPD sadly is only at about 0.8 mPa during the Day and wayy lower at night.

Day 31 / 01.05. The Plants really have taken off with growth since I turned on the autopot system, even the Super Lemon Haze which seemed to be growing quite slow in the beginning. I filled the reservoir on day 28 with an EC of 1.7 mS/cm. Currently I am fighting a bit with the humidity as it tends to rise quite a bit.

Day 45 in flower... Trichomes are about 80% milk and no amber... The paint and big Z are 7-9 weekers and orange cake is 9-10... Def few weeks on the orange cake... But getting close to how I like it on the other two... The smells are outta this world... Orange cake smells like orange cake... Very orange like it's nuts... Never smelt anything like it tbh... The paint is a different pheno than previous ones because there's usually a chemical skunk smell but this is a fruity pebble smell with layers of earth smell and a sticky presence that doesn't go away for a long time lol... The big Z is another sweet smelling but more along the smell of a mouth full of Skittles and that dirt earth smell aftertones... They're awesome and I'm really excited! Day 46 They fattened up over night! Coming to n end... I did find little clusters of amber trichomes on the paint and I can't find many clear on the big Z... So it's right where I want it!

This was the last week I will give them 3 more days to finish Then i will try to dry them for minimal 1 week .

40 days are over 3 Out of 4 Plants are fully in flower 1 is still in veg i guess Its not an autoflower and i have to force it to flower. Removed alot of leafes that blocked light and removed all the bottom leafes

Ya va cogiendo forma los cogollos y empieza a desprender un fuerte olor a moby dick de pueblo. Siento haberme saltado algunas semanas de floración pero estuve un poco disperso. Buenos humos familia.

La plantula sigue avanzando poco a poco
