š WEEK 13
š± Plants:
The indica-looking pheno (the one on the far right) has a sweet kushy smell. The middle plant has the classic RuntZ aroma, and the plant on the far left has a distinct Gelato smell. Honestly, I wish Iād kept a clone of the one on the left instead of the indica-leaning one, but thatās just how it goes - I chose the one with better root growth, and how thatās translating to buds and flavor will be revealed soon. The one on the far left smells like a clean Dairy Queen cooler, flat Z terps, just a really clean scent. Itās wild that they all started with a rotten-lemon smell and evolved into such different profiles. Typical F1 generation behavior.
š§ Hydroponics:
Full solution swap today: water came in at 6.6 pH and (yikes) 0.4 EC. Added 5 mL pH down and 8 gallons of Heavy 16 Flush Week to the 8 gallons of water (this is the one time I stick to the manufacturer schedule).
Enviornment:
Lights are all the way up; the tent thrives best when I can manually breathe it, otherwise it starts messing with its own humidity and CO2 levels.
āļø Equipment:
I temporarily lost access to my online drive with the feeding schedule spreadsheet, which is way easier to digest than manually calculating feed per gallon and how many gallons I actually used (since I never feed full-strength manufacturer nutrients). This week was simple though - the buds are deep into swell, so Iāve started flushing.
ā³ Timeline & Outlook:
The flush will be swapped for pure water sometime this week while the tentās lights are OFF, which I think is a critical step. If weāre still pulling salts after the pure water flush, Iāll swap it out for fresh water based on the nighttime readings. On 4/4, Iāll swap the solution to water only at night. Then on 4/7, Iāll swap the water flush for a fresh water flush at night. The target harvest date is 4/14, depending on how the flush is going and how the foliage burn is progressing, though this could shift by a few days.
