The plant is definitely decreasing the amount of water now. So I believe the plants are coming to an end within a couple of weeks.
I took everything off the timer and am now running 24/0 light schedule.
I want to make the most out of what light is available. The plants need it.
My tent is underpowered in that department, so increasing the duration of the light is all I can realistically do. Hopefully, it will help.
The buds have been developing nicely. They are incredibly FROSTY 😍 so to keep the progress going, I have been sticking with the sea kelp for the potassium.
Occasionally adding phosphorus with the bud explosion PK Booster. With much smaller doses in comparison, each time.
There are definitely signs of nitrogen excess, with the clawing on many leaves. There are also extremely purple stems on the leaves.
As I don't know what the seed was, I can't tell whether it is normal for the strain it is, or a nutrient issue, light stress, etc. (If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate them!)
This one was planted in coco, perlite, and worm castings. Due to this being practically the first time I've used this mix without adding the peat based "light mix".
I had not realised how quickly the pots will dry out, especially during the high water consumption of the flowering stage.
I realise that I need to be treating it as pure coco. This can be fantastic, for example, if you have just one pot/plant and can provide all the waterings and monitoring continually and regularly.
This tends to make you use more nutrients than necessary, as personally I find it difficult to use just plain water. I think many of us still can't help the feeling that we should be adding things to every watering. Therefore, when the frequency of the waterings increases, we are still adding nutrients EVERY time. Which is an overall increase in nutrients, too.
For my part, I'm cutting the amount of nutrients per watering. I feel like nutrients are a bit of a crutch to growers.
I'm still getting used to the coco and the waterings, but I am really enjoying it. If you don't check your plants multiple times a day, it may not be the best choice of substrate.
For me, I'd much rather the pots dry quickly because it reduces the chances of mould and mildew, which I'm always concerned about.

I watered with 4L of plain dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.1.
Thanks for stopping by and hanging out 💚 ✌️ 🍃 😊 🌱
