WEEK 3 FLOWERING = 28/4/2023 (DAY 15 FLO) ---> 4/5/2023 (DAY 21 FLO)
[DAY 64 - 15Β° FLO] - 28/4/2023
β‘ - TS1000: 40 cm distance / 100% dimmer = 150 watt;
β - 12/12 light cycle;
π‘οΈ - 27Β° C - 50% RH during light / 23Β° C - 58% RH during night;
π - PH 5.9 - EC 2.3 in DWC;
π - For the third week of 12/12 I decided to decrease N a little and increase P and K: Micro 2ml/l, Grow 1.8 ml/l, Bloom 2 ml/l;
π§ - Solution in DWC is getting warmer: 22Β° C;
π₯
- I'm using the second SCROG net to even out the canopy. I bent the topmost branches and spread the branches further towards the sides of the box. The branches are still flexible enough to bend without issues;
π± - No marks on leaves, the plant has a nice green color. There are at least 30 flowering sites popping out of the second SCROG net. As already said, it's my first time with photoperiod and I don't know what to expect in terms of stretch, I'll try to manage it as best I can. βοΈ 43cm;
π - Bought and mounted my new 3x3 tent. Next time I'll use that with my 2 TS1000!
[DAY 65 - 16Β° FLO] - 29/4/2023
π‘οΈ - 27Β° C - 55% RH during light / 23Β° C - 55% RH during night;
π - PH 5.8 - EC 2.3 in DWC;
π§ - Keeping an eye on the PH and EC values ββI noticed that in this 50 liter configuration the EC is very stable while the PH slowly drops day after day. I manage it don't using PH down when I top up. In this way I bring the PH levels to 6.1 and need to correct it after 3 or 4 days;
π± - Look at the day 65, done? Now go to last week and look at day 60. In 5 days the plant has filled the box again, amazing!
πΈ - Pre-flowers are forming, between tomorrow and the day after the flowering sites will be full of white pistils.
[DAY 66 - 17Β° FLO] - 30/4/2023
π‘οΈ - 26.5Β° C - 60% RH during light / 22.5Β° C - 57% RH during night;
π - PH 5.8 - EC 2.3 in DWC;
βοΈ - Removed about 20 big fan leaves;
πΈ - Flowering sites are filling up with pistils.
[DAY 67 - 18Β° FLO] - 1/5/2023
π‘οΈ - 26Β° C - 64% RH during light / 21.5Β° C - 60% RH during night;
π - PH 6 - EC 2.3 in DWC;
πΈ - Pistils everywhere!
[DAY 68 - 19Β° FLO] - 2/5/2023
π‘οΈ - 26Β° C - 65% RH during light / 21Β° C - 65% RH during night;
π - PH 5.8 - EC 0.4 in DWC;
π§ - Flush for 24 hours, tomorrow she'll get full flower blend;
π± - Plant got 6 cm in the last 48 hours.
[DAY 69 - 20Β° FLO] - 3/5/2023
π‘οΈ - 26Β° C - 65% RH during light / 21Β° C - 65% RH during night;
π - PH 5.8 - EC 2.4 in DWC;
π - After 20 days, DWC change: 40 LT flower blend. Silic (1ml/l) + CalMag (1ml/l) + Micro (2ml/l) + Grow (1ml/l) + Bloom (3ml/l) + Fulvic (1ml/l) + Atazyme (3ml/l). Added about 100ml Ph down Flower by Canna, to be honest I don't think it's very effective, I had to use a lot to lower the PH and I hope it's stable. Only plus side: is just phosphoric acid and is very useful in this phase!
π§ - Not a single dead root at the bottom of the DWC, I hope the old roots are at least rotting away. On the bright side, they're not causing any problems;
π± - Plant looks pretty fine, perhaps there is some slight light burn. I'll check tomorrow and, if necessary, raise the lamp by a few centimetres. The branches are still quite flexible but I have no more space to bend them π
[DAY 70 - 21Β° FLO] - 4/5/2023
π‘οΈ - 27Β° C - 60% RH during light / 22Β° C - 65% RH during night;
π - PH 6 - EC 2.4 in DWC;
π± - Week 3 flowering is done. Big change this week! I don't know if I'm talking bullsh*t, but since the switch I have noticed an important change in the leaves, they seem much thinner and longer, typical of Sativa dominant plants, and I like it!
