๐ฑ Day 50 - First Day of Week 8 ๐ฑ
Hello, Grow Friends!
My plant is doing well, and itโs amazing to see visible progress every few hours. ๐ฑโจ The buds are in full throttle, and I feel like the plant is now needing more water as the pots are drying out faster. ๐ง
Watering:
Iโm still watering with 1L every two days. ๐ฆ The dosage of BioBizz Grow and BioBizz Bloom has been increased according to the BioBizz feeding schedule. The pH of the water remains constant at 6.0. โ๏ธ๐ง
Temperature & Humidity:
Luckily, the weather in Germany is cooling down, so I no longer have to deal with temperatures of up to 30ยฐC in the tent. ๐ก๏ธ๐ Iโm expecting temperatures to settle between 18-23ยฐC now that weโre in September, and humidity should stabilize around 50-55%. This will create perfect conditions for the upcoming drying process. ๐โจ
Plant Health:
The plant is looking good overall. ๐ฟ I did have some calcium and magnesium deficiency symptoms recently, but Iโve managed to get that under control with CalMag. ๐ช Iโm continuing to carefully remove any leaves that are noticeably blocking light to the buds and hindering photosynthesis. ๐โ๏ธ
Vibes:
Every day, my plant still enjoys an hour of Lo-fi Jazz music. ๐ถ๐ฑ I think it helps set the perfect growing atmosphere. ๐ท
๐ฑ Day 56 - Last Day of Week 8 ๐ฑ
Final Feeding:
Today marks the last day of the fourth flowering week and the last day Iโll be feeding the plant. ๐ฟ๐ง From now on, the plant will receive only water for the final 14 days to flush out the remaining nutrients from the soil. ๐ฟ
As a beginner, Iโm unsure if two weeks without nutrients will be enough for the plant to finish properly. Thereโs a part of me that worries about potentially wasting its full potential by skipping nutrient periods. ๐ค๐ฑ
However, Iโve decided to stick with the planโafter 14 days of just water, Iโll harvest the plant. โ๏ธ๐
Humidity & Temperature:
This week, the weather has cooled down significantly, and I no longer have to struggle with high temperatures. ๐ก๏ธ๐ The temperature ranges from 19-23ยฐC during the day, and humidity sits between 49-56%.
I think these are ideal conditions to bring out the purple hues in the buds. ๐โจ
Defoliation & Plant Care:
Iโve finished the final defoliation and trimming of the plant this week. ๐โ๏ธ From now until harvest, Iโll avoid making any more changes or interventions, as I want to keep the plant stress-free and allow the bud production to progress smoothly. ๐ฑ๐ช
Trichome Observation:
As a beginner, Iโve started checking the trichomes this week, but Iโm finding it challenging to distinguish between clear and milky trichomes. ๐๐ I plan to harvest when I see 90% milky and 10% amber trichomes. ๐ฟโจ
Iโll keep you all updated next week, and donโt forgetโthere are new pictures every day! ๐ธ๐ฑ
