Week 15 days 99-105 . I'm am flushing all plants with 1 gallon of filtered water each. I've reduced the light cycle from 18 to 14 hours to reduce heat stress. It may reduce yield as well based on comments I've read in other growers diaries. An oz per plant would be nice. Of course more would be better but an oz makes a pound of cannabutter. Reducing the light hours is reducing the purpleness in the stems of og kush and gorilla glue but Purple chill still has purple stems
The Natrona sisters spend their nights in the garage where the temps are 10-15 degrees cooler than in the day temps in the tent. Night temps ranged this week between 63-66 with rh 51-76%. The high rhythm comes after a rain.
During the day, I'm keeping the tent open while circulating 2 fans. Day Temps can reach 80 so it gets hot in there.
flooded each plant with 1 gal of water. From here forward I will be flushing all plants with filtered water at 1 gal for each plant every other day.
Monday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo.
This is a stress technique used to force plant phenotype colors. I don't think it will work for mine as I over fed. While I have 3 different strains, they look the same with blue green dominance.
Thursday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo
Saturday, flushed with 1 gal of water. Starting this flush, I added ice to the top of the soil before watering. See photo

I'm not seeing any change in leaf or bud colorations from flushing out the fertilizers nor from the ice treatment.
General comments"
After putting the plants in the garage during the night, morning soil temperatures are within a degree of the night air temperature. This has been about 15 degrees cooler (50s) than the tent temperatures (75+). This week our weather has been unseasonably warm so the night temperatures have been 63-71 with Rh 51-70%
Tent temps in the day 75-80 and RH 47-59%.
