day 83
I harvested Tropicana a day after Lemon Cherry Cookies, after two days in darkness and drying out.
The purple-reddish buds were even airier than those on the LCC, but she made up for it with larger nugs and a higher yield.
She probably could've gone a bit longer, but the show must go on. 😄
resume:
Second harvest this year. If I keep going like this, I'll be self-sufficient 😍
Again without any pests... (knock on wood). I used to get at least fungus gnats every time.
With this run, I wanted to figure out what went wrong in my previous grow. I suspected the water, so this time I used mostly distilled water with a small amount of dechlorinated tap water (max.20%). Adjusted pH with phosphoric acid, since I had been using citric in the previous run.
The results were a bit better, but that may simply be because I used a wider pot, more soil, and managed the watering much better. I think the real limiting factor is the pot volume.
The main supplements I used this run were lignohumates. Early on, I sprayed a lot with a lignohumates+nitrophenols (Vitalic), then later switched to regular lignohumates in the watering along with kelp extract.
I also used Epsom salt and gypsum preventively... probably not enough, or wrong ratio, because later I had to correct a calcium deficiency with a liquid calcium supplement. The downside was its high nitrogen content, which may have affected the bud structure.
During late flowering,I added even more junk food 😅 like Bloom, Ripen and Silica
