I鈥檓 at the home stretch now. Two weeks till harvest. This grow has flown by! The buds are really swelling. They don鈥檛 yet look as big as some of the clusters on the last harvest. But those were all untrained and had way fewer bud sites. The difference this time is there are way more buds.
PH is now good too. Soil is 6.5-7.0 in most tests. I鈥檝e just given the final feed. From now on I鈥檓 just flushing them with PH adjusted water. The Biobizz nutes are PH neutral. I suspect micro organisms in the soil are raising the PH with their waste. I鈥檒l always add PH- to the feed from now on.
There are rusty spots appearing on some of the leaves of the most stretched plant. Possibly low in magnesium. I鈥檝e feed with calmag. The affected leaves were all close to one of the lights though. Maybe that has something to do with it?
Temps and humidity are bang on. The rig in the tent is keeping the temps in the high 20s. Outside the tent it is sometimes dropping into the high teens. The humidity in the tent is around 50%. About 10-15% down on the outside room.
I鈥檓 really pleased with the impact of training Seems to have had on the plants. The LST, topping and super cropping has definitely had an impact. Even with autos. Ok. So one plant stalled. It was the weakest plant, was late and was not planted in the centre of the pot. I should have LSTed only. But I topped it. Pushed it too far.
I鈥檝e learnt a massive amount on this grow.
