Day 43, 22.05.2024
- Gave a round of drinks to the ladies - they were thirsty!
- installed a De-Humidifier: I've had some trouble to bring down humidity during night time. It was stuck at around 68% and I do not want to give mold a chance - especially in the later flower which is about to come
- the buds are getting darker
- also found a fan leave which shows a yellow color. I understood that this is quite normal at this stage as the plant begins to suck the Energy of the lower leaves which it does not really need anymore. I guess tomorrow I will remove the leave in question and be done with it.
Day 44, 23.05.2024
- Hacked the De-Humidifier to connect it to my already installed VPD Controller: When the humidity rises above a special threshold (depending on the temperature) from now on the Tube Vent, the Intake Fan and the De-Humidifier will lower the humidity. Bye bye never ending Tube Vent running an hello snappy reaction to rising moisture!
Day 45, 24.05.2024
- Realized: This 30€ De-Humidifier is useless :). Deinstalled it and will send it back where it came from
- although it would be time for a drink the soil is not dry enough yet. So I decided to postpone until this evening or even tomorrow
- Decided to give water with nutrients today
- right after watering I recognized brown tips on two leaves. According to my research it could be a) nutrient burn b) light burn or c) Zinc deficiency or of course d) nothing at all and to be ignored :). I will wait for 1-2 more days and see how it evolves. "No panic" I guess...
Day 46, 25.05.2024
No action today.
Day 47, 26.05.2024
- time for another round of drinks! I will cut down the ration to 50% (1.5ml/L BioGrow, 1.5ml /LBioBloom, 0.5ml/L Top Max) though to hopefully counter the slight burn on the tips of some leaves. If it recovers well I will possibly continue giving full bloom fertilizer, but only half grow fertilizer. Each gets 600ml (15% of pot volume)
- Removed 2 bigger leaves from the bottom, that we're getting yellow
- bought a pocket microscope to start checking on trichomes. I know: a little early in the game, but it is a bit tricky to get a good look so I guess starting early does not hurt
Day 48, 27.05.2024
No action today.
Day 49, 28.05.2024
- Gave 600ml water each plus a little shortened nutrition: full bloom & top max fertilizer, but only 1/3 of grow.
- removed a single leaf that looks weird (all yellow, see picture). It is the only leave of that kind, the others look more or less okay.
This concludes week 7. 3-4 weeks more to come.
