-------------------------------------------- BLOOM WEEK 7 (Jan 10-16) -------------------------------------------- TARGETS: * 75F/50% Day / 65F/45% Night * No defoliation * Reduce EC to 1.8 * Discontinue Bloom A+B * Discontinue B52 & Sensizym _______________ Jan 10 AM (7-8L) Mix: 20ml CaMg, 24ml PK 14/15, 20ml Silica: 5 gallons water • 1.4 EC / 6.2 pH BD4 IN: 1.4 EC/6.2 pH (17c) OUT: 2.8 EC/6.0 pH (21c) BD5 IN: 1.4 EC/6.2 pH (17c) OUT: 2.0 EC/5.9 pH (21c) KT5 IN: 1.4 EC/6.2 pH (17c) OUT: 2.8 EC/5.8 pH (21c) 10P6 IN: 1.4 EC/6.2 pH (17c) OUT: 2.2 EC/5.9 pH (20c) 10P7 IN: 1.4 EC/6.2 pH (17c) OUT: 3.0 EC/5.9 pH (20c) Runoffs are looking good after a heavy watering. pH is right where it should be. This week I'm dropping the temps and humidity. Colours have already begun to show themselves and the trichomes are building. There's a lot of cloudy and a few have traces of amber already (Day 43). Last week of nutrients as they look to be getting ready for a day 56-60 chop. KT might take an extra week so I'll keep feeding her. There's massive colas (for me) on BD5 and 10P7. _______________ Jan 10 PM (4L) Mix: 18ml CaMg, 36ml Overdrive, 20ml PK 14/15, 25ml Compost Tea: 5 gallons water • 1.7 EC / 6.2 pH ________________ Jan 11 AM (4L) Mix: 18ml CaMg, 36ml Overdrive, 20ml PK 14/15, 25ml Compost Tea: 5 gallons water • 1.7 EC / 6.2 pH Runoffs are around 3 EC. Because the last 3 watering events have been light and the EC is increasing, tells me they're feeding less. I'll check them all more closely at the end of the week. Flushing will start on Wednesday and I'm going to water like normal this time, no heavy dumpings. Just a bit of runoff each time. The smells are intoxicating right now. The frostier 10th Planet is giving off a grape Dimetapp cough syrup aroma (80's kids get it), super artificial and pungent. Almost candy-like. The other has a strong blueberry muffin nose on her. KT has a lemony cake profile that's really nice. A bit of that spicy, skunky cat piss as well. BD5 has big tropical terps, while the smaller, frostier BD4 is the gassy Fruit Stripe gum pheno. I'll start labelling photos more next week when I defoliate. As the grow winds down, I'm getting excited for once. Heavy looking yields for 2 plants, and medium for the others. Even though I had to 86 a plant that hermed, it's going really well. _______________ Jan 12 AM (4L) Mix: 24ml CaMg, 36ml Overdrive, 20ml PK 14/15, 24ml PB Tea: 21L water = 1.7 EC • Very little runoff _______________ Jan 13 (4L) • 1.7 EC / 6.2 pH • Watered at 3 AM It's tough not clipping the large fan leaves, but I will at the end of the week. I took the scissors out of the room a few weeks ago so I don't get tempted 😂 _______________ Jan 14 (2L) • 1.4 EC / 6.2 pH • Watered at 12 AM • Tied up stalks on BD5/10P7/KT5 These girls are still stacking up big time. I think we might even reach or surpass the 200-250 gram per plant target! Trichomes are coming in thick with the lower temperatures. Branches are starting to topple over so I had to tie them up. Didn't want to mess with them too much this week but it is what it is. _______________ Jan 15 (6L) • 1.4 EC / 6.2 pH • Watered at 530 AM (2L) A frosty sea of red appears when the lamps come on. The lower temperatures are paying dividends for the aesthetics. I'm hoping the resin content is there as well. Tufts of white pistils are pushing out as the calyxs swell and burst. They'll get another 4L each tonight at the lower EC.
