Hi All,
I think I must have missed a week, don't know how I did that but I switched on the 16th OCT and this should have been the fifth week of flowering.
Anyways I will change that over the weekend.
Weekly update:
*What's happening in the garden.
So starting the fifth week of flowering and the buds are starting to bulk up.
I still think the canopy is too dense but I am going to pretty much leave it and see how it plays out. Maybe I will thin out one large colla and see if that's going to grow a lot better but I don't know how meaningful this will be going forward.
*On-going problems
1. Top canopy leaves still showing red stems. (I am almost to a point where I think this might be genetics)
2. Sweating problem - I've tried to lower temps, thin out canopy and dimming light. So I've done all that with limited success UNTIL I moved two dehumidifier into the room and lowered the RH in tent from low 70's to low 60's and I directed the top fan directly at the canopy rather than blowing slightly above the canopy. That seemed to help the plant sweat without leaves pointing up and tacoing.
3. Brown goo in reservoir - I am seeing some brown goo started to grow again but less than before. So I am going to increase the cannazym, hydro guard and PH at 5.5.
*Neat trick to slightly increase your grow tent area.
Since this is a monster mother plant in a 2x4 tent. I've been having trouble keeping her in check especially on the perimeter of the canopy so I actually added a input fan to decrease humidity and increase air flow and also created a positive atmosphere in the tent so the tent basically increased 10- to 15% in volume especially in the middle of the tent where my canopy is at so this gives her more room to bulk up the buds.
