Week 3 🌸
This was the last week of stretch and we ended it on Day 21 with a big defoliation and lollipopping. The plants grew between 10-15cm, which isn't that much and are now 84-97cm tall.
We watered on Day 17 and 21 with about 6liters each, using again 75% of the Athena dosage for week 3 of flower and some epsom salt. This week PK was added to the nutrients. pH: 6.0, EC: 2.45mS. Drain: pH: 7.1, EC: 3.0mS.
On Day 21 we defoliated and lollipopped the ladies by removing everything growing in the lower 1/3 and every branch that did not grow at least up to 1/2 of the plants hight, as well as every bud growing in the lower half of the plant. Additionally we removed bigger fan leaves on top of the plant that where blocking light for the developing flowers. Airflow and lightpenetration are optimized for now.
Pamellowz have great internodal spacing and produced lots of budsights! Structure and health wise they do look amazing! Same counts for the Terps! They smell super sweet, exotic-fuity and like a flowery perfume. 🍍🍭🌸
Sadly Pamellowz #1 produced a lot (!) of nanas (which we plucked). As we can rule out the posibillity of light leaks, this has to be a stress reaction. Fortunately it is only her that herms! But still, that should not be the case for seeds that are this pricey, with two out of three herming hard (we already got rid of Pamellowz #3 last week)
Watermelon Emoji are a little more funky in terms of structure. One has a sativa like growth with super thin leaves and hairy stemms. She is also the most finnicky plant in the tent. The other one has a mutation called fasciation, but fortunately not including the buds. She is the shortest plant but has the biggest leaves and looks super healthy otherwise. Her internodal spacing is all over the place and the canopy is kind of chaotic. Terpwise we can now smell what is promised! No more minty or menthol smells (as with the stem rub). She smells super sweet, candy, chemical fruity and like watermelon bubblegum.🍉🍭😋
