Day 57 : AK was fed 2L with just Sensi Bloom A&B @ 2ml/l and Carboload @ 1ml/l . I backed off the Overdrive as i don't think it is time yet. The buds are still really forming and i don't want to burn this one as bad as cheese is showing.
Day 58 : I found out that i've probably been feeding too much cal-mag. I spoke with AN and they told me that their Sensi products have enough cal-mag that i didn't need to be adding it. I've started seeing tip burns only in the past few weeks. I think adding the Carboload and Overdrive may have pushed it over the top with the extra cal-mag going in each feed. Lesson learned.
Cheese is on water from this point on. I figure she'll be ready in the next 9-10 days. Need to start checking the trichomes as soon as my pocket microscope arrives in the next few days.
Man am I ever glad I didn't kill AK off because it was taking too long to flower. That plant is going to be a monster. It has so many side branches and bud sites. And it's starting to put off some kind of funk. Giddy up !
Day 59 : Pocket microscope came in today. Can't wait to check the trichs later on. Cheese is really starting to smell more and more. 8 more days until she gets chopped. AK is fattening up nicely. She'll finish in 11-12 weeks for sure.
AK was fed 2L this evening and is fattening up more and more each day. Cheese is getting close.
Day 60 : Cheese got 2L of water, had a good look at the trichomes and this plant is pretty much ready to go. I should have started the flush earlier but i didn't have the microscope yet. Checked various parts of the plant and I am seeing mostly cloudy with a small amount of amber trichomes. I'm going to let it go 4 more days to try and give it at least 10 days of flush.
Day 61 : Fed AK 2L, brought the base nutes down to 1.8ml/L and started Overdrive. I'm seeing some brown pistils starting to show up. Buds are filling out nicely each day.
Cheese is getting frostier every day now. Only a few while pistils left per bud, many of them starting to curl inward. Not seeing any yellowing yet. Been almost a week of just water. 4 more days and she's coming down !
Day 62 : Fed cheese 2L water this morning. That plant is looking really incredible. So much frost ! 3 more days until chop chop
Day 63 : Fed AK 2L, buds are filling out quite nicely. Some of the pistils are turning brown. Buds are not as fat as they are on cheese, however this AK seems to be a sativa phenotype so the smaller buds are expected. We'll see what the Overdrive does.
Cheese is 2 days away from chop chop ! So much frost.
This concludes week 9 !
