*********Week 6 - January 13 to 19, 2020 (Days 36 to 42 from germination)
This is going to be a brief update but that’s a good thing 😀 The week went by pretty quick and overall it was great progress. She stood up more and her bud sites set in and are starting to stack.👍 Her colour holding, on the darker side, and her leaves are still narrow. In a way.....don’t care though......not growing leaves😜😃
Have done some further cleaning on the bottom and removed a couple of leaves that were blocking. Took off a couple of low nodes as well. Introduced Massive this week for bud density. She has a thick main stem but not excessive....little less than a quarter. She has lots of bud sites with six main stems that should fill-in nicely. Should help increase yield😎👍
Keeping wet and happy is a balance. She was good with 2L last week and by the end of the week now she wants close to 3L. I also bumped up the CalMag on one of the feedings a bit to help ensure she doesn’t show issues. Don’t want to use CalMag much longer though because she already gets lots of nitrogen.
Not sure how much longer to feed......will go another full week for sure. I suspect she will run a full 9 weeks and more likely 10 weeks, then if allowing a 2 week flush you only go through week 7....and maybe 8.....thats next week or week after! Therefore, even if I push it I will likely only go another 2 weeks of feeding😟😓😕 Crap time goes fast!!!!!! Gonna have to ensure she is wet and happy👌
Little more detail:
Jan 13/20 - Day 36
- 1L feeding of Sensyzime, Piranha, Voodoo Juice @ 2ml/L. Not pH’d......water been running 6.3. this was in the AM
- PM feeding 2L only Dual Fuel @ 1ml/L, Liquid Weight and Rezin @ 1.5ml/L = 575ppm pH 5.8.
- trying out the Green Planet line so I introduced Massive this week.
- lowered temps in room at night. Down to 65 degrees.
- suspect the narrow leaves where grower error and nutrient balance......growing buds anyways......saves from a leaf strip at this point in the grow:)
Jan 14/20 - Day 37
- Hit her harder today with full strength feed. 5.95pH
- Pots were light so 3L feed. Not completely dry......just enough moisture left....3L had a fair bit of run-off.....eating a little less than the other big girl.
- Rhino Skin back in for some more silica.
- Didn’t go......holly crap she got big last night😮😮.....but she continues to get taller.....the bud sites white hairs really pop now.
Jan 15/20 - Day 38
- 2L feed today. Only giving base nutrients and Sensyzime @ 1ml/L pH 6.1.
- runoff water: 900ppm and 6.0pH.
- drinking more now and she doesn’t give run-off before 2L minimum.
- keep an eye on the ppm not getting too high and consider increasing her moisture.
Jan 16/20 - Day 39
- 3L full feed today.
- want to strip a bunch of her leaves!!!! Keep tucking the leaves but even those stems are stubborn.....good problems👍😝
Jan 17/20 - Day 40
- She is hungry :)
- 3L feed full strength.
- runoff water: 1400ppm, 5.9pH........medium in okay shape.....little high ppm given what’s been going in.
- Good growth last night....liked the nutes👊 Don’t get to eager through😳 too much at this point and she won’t consume them all😉
- In the tent with only Zkittelz is giving a little extra room and she is loving it.
Jan 18/20 - Day 41
- She was not dry in the AM but rather inbetween.
- watering with supplementals.......Sensyzime, Rezin, Liquid Weight, VeloKelp, Piranha, Voodoo....and CalMag.
- 2L with 240ppm and 6.2pH
- nothing in PM.....pots still wet......she is looking for a little less than 3L per day still roughly.
- They are growing taller......top of tallest nodes falling to sleep sooner at night.
- replaced CO2 in tent.
- Very happy today and good growth with leave up.
- 24” tall and 28” wide......with LST.
Jan 19/20 - Day 42
- 3L feeding again today. Full strength again.
- runoff: 1350ppm and 6.0pH.......still a little more left in there than going in.
- stripped two lower nodes and 1 huge fan leaf.
- her buds are getting wider and taller....filling in😎 lots of them......or at least they jump out more with how she is growing👊
- she is happy....keep the same and don’t change things......less than two weeks feed left.
Have a great week fellow growers.......
