In the beginning of this week ( Monday in the late afternoon) I started seeing some burnt tips. Not really a big deal if you give less nutrients in the future, but i don't like it.
Thats why i decided to flush my plants and check the run-off.
PH levels where decent but the EC was to high. Not a suprise because I forced them a bit last week by giving some more nutrients.
So right now my PH and EC for the kushes are arround PH 5.8-6 with 1.3-1.5 EC and for my shamans PH 6.3-6.4 with ec 1.5-1.6
After my flush, I gave all the plants some Canna RHIZOTONIC ( root stimulator). I advice everyone to give root stimulator after stressing the plant out with like flushing.
In this grow i always weight my pots, therefor i always know when to perfectly feed them.
They dronk 9 to 10 liters of water/feeding in like 96hours(4 full days) which is insane because it wasn't that sunny/hot (evaporation) and they are not trees being in the open ground.
and maybe the most importent thing is that normaly your roots will stress a bit because of overwatering(flushing) and will go into a shutdown or having a hard time for a period
as a result that your pots will stay heavy(full of water) for some days. In my case, this didn't happen at all.
Wednesday I sprayed all the leafs with Canna Cure for some nice leaf nutrients,getting rid of minor trips and to prevent other unwanted renters.
Friday I started feeding them again with nutrients, like 2-3 liters each plant and today I gave them water 2-3 liters each plant with only Enzymen in it.
It was a crazy thirsty week for them with an average of 1.6-1.7 liters a day😅
Sadly one lower branch got damaged and had to get rid of it but I didn't mind that much since these buds where far behind other buds in developement.
I placed one bud under the microscope for fun and saw insane amounts of thc on it haha, and that for just week 5 of flowering for a outside grow.
Made a picture of it, just take a look at it.
- Critical kushes started getting into preflower, finnally!! but still, only 6 weeks left before it gets to cold outside.
- Did some LST again because the criticalkushes are still stretching. They might still stretch for another 1 to 2 weeks, its getting out of hand haha.
- Shamans and the critical kushes get different feeding schedules, Should had done that waaaaay earliyer but I didn't care about it until now.
- Forgot to supercrop my plants LOL, for the shamans it is to late, don't want to stress them out in their stage, but i did in on the kushes,
since they are only 1 week in flowering, still growing a bit, it would't harm them that much. No need for steering them around, already done that.
Just doing it to stress them out a bit so they will send more nutrients to the branches for bigger yield.
Have to keep remind myself that this is just an outside fun grow but I just can't help myself buying stuff and wanting to do more/better.
Hope you guys enjoyed watching and reading.
