******* Week 10 - June 13 to 19, 2020 - Days 64 to 70 from germination
*
Adding in the pictures right now..........
She continued to ripen this week and really stated to push out the frost at the end of the week when humidity was dropped to 50% and lower at night. She still has lots of nutrients in her to eat up as her leaves are pretty green. Her colas are starting to form points now and swelling/ripening.😍
She is done being fed this week and will start to feed on her leaves and flush out the nutrients👍😃 On Wednesday she was given at 32L flush of plain water to help lower the pH further and since at the end of her life it’s okay to hit the medium hard. She took the flush well and fattened up more. Frost also noticeably increased over the days after.......or the tricombs turned more cloudy😋😋
She has fought off all pest and environment issues and is very stable. She has liked to dry out a fair bit before her next watering as she was outwardly the most happy when pot was kept light. They were switched to a 20 hour light cycle at mid to end of flower and she took that well and swelled further. Opened her up on the inside to the let the light in and she has rewarded with fat little nugs on the lower sites!! She liked the LST and would push harder the day after being tied down. Very nice little girl in the grow portion of her life!!! Smoking part is looking very promising for yield and potency.........that will have to wait😉
Little more detail.........
June 13/20 - Day 64
- 1.5L plain water 275ppm, pH to 5.1
- lower pH to help the building numbers in the pot
- she is not taking up much right now.....slowing down a bit?
- She bulked up a fair bit overnight though.....seems to have liked yesterday's feed.
June 14/20 - Day 65
- dry out day
- KK swelled even more last night. She is a bushy little girl!
- tips forming slowly on the tops and moving away from the button look......ripening👍
- suspect she will be the first one done?
- raised the lights roughly 3" little less intensity right now and leaf temps a little high.
June 15/20 - Day 66
- Flush day today.....need to know where we stand with pH.
- 32L (8 gal) of plain water given, 3.4pH and 280ppm going in.
- in the trays before flush was runoff with a pH of 7.4 and ppm of 1800. (Both are too high for this stage of growth......6.4 and 900 would be nicer)
- runoff numbers after were 6.9pH and 380ppm
- had to stop there as I am using over 30 gallons of water today to flush all the girls......I am out of water😡
- environment holding at 80 degrees and 61% humidity.
June 16/20 - Day 67
- dry out day.......you think :)
- green leaves and red hairs started forming more.....she is ripening now.....no more feed.....only low pH water.
- squished a couple of buds and she is firming up.
June 17/20 - Day 68
- 3.5L watering today.......decided to give Rezin and Liquid Weight @ 1.5ml/L = 285ppm with a pH of 4.0
- yeah.......no NPK but I did give some supplements to help with tricombs and flavour.
- there was lots of runoff water.....didn't bother to check it.......it will be high.
- need to work on lowering the temps and humidity a bit more now as well.....80 degrees is too high now......76 and 55% is the goal.
June 18/20 - Day 69
- dry out day
- for the most part the girls were left alone today.....raining outside so humidity is rising.
- lowered the light again......raising my temps to 78 degrees though........need an air conditioner in the lung-room!
June 19/20 - Day 70
- 2L watering with Rezin, Liquid Weight, and Sensyzime for enzymes to finish cleaning up the roots......more salt I know.....but not too bad...bigger win.
- 385ppm and 4.5pH.........left the pH alone. Didn't want to add pH adjuster with the enzymes being added to her.
- Her top leaves are lightening and she is feeding on herself....perfect.
- the rest of her though appears to be slowing down......swelling on the inside hopefully👍
- frost levels the last 5 days have really increased!!
- raised the light back up again.......don't want fluffy buds so will reduce the temp and accept a little less intensity.
That is it for week 10! We are flushing her and trying to keep her cool now💪
