Ph 7.5
Moist
- plucked all the bad leaves that were ready
- Removed all the dead leaves
- 3 gal of water ph of 6.4 + 15 ml big bloom + 20 ml tiger bloom + 9ml apple cider vinegar + 30ml blackstrap molasses unsulphured
- Light burn seems to be the #1 problem, then ph fluctuations and nutrient burn
- I think i held the measuring cup a little awkward most feedings instead of having it on a level surface and I probably overfed by 5ml each time
- Most of the bottom leaves are green but have burnt tips, they are usually pretty attached
- the middle section has lots of dead leaves but they are tiny little ones that have burnt and fallen off
- the top leaves are all yellow on plant 1, with burnt tips, clawing up, very red stems, and are fairly easy to pluck off, not much effort on most
- the most green areas are semi-shaded and off on the edges of the tent, and all the shaded areas remained green
- Therefore, I would say my #1 problem was light burn, which made the ph fluctuations worse, nutrient deficiencies worse, and i over compensated and did not measure precisely causing nutrient burn
- there is also some wind burn on the bottom areas
- all in all the buds are developing nicely and bulking up decent amounts on plant 1, especially with all the topping
- good trichomes coming out
- plant 2 has different light burn but the leaves are praying up, and pointing up much more, more rusting also but they are not easy at all to pull off
- the buds on plant 2 are also not growing nearly as well but the trichomes seem nicer and it seems to have more
- the buds hopefully are more dense despite being small, they do look compact though
- roughly 100 bud sites visible from the top of the canopy
feb. 18
- ph. 7.2
- the clawing up and yellowing and burning of the tips has continued, likely past problems continuing to persist
- these problems really only exist on the top set of leaves, which always brings me back to light burn
- plucked another 10-15 clawed and burnt leaves from plant 1
- the buds got bigger, and the trichomes continue to pack on
- seeing more promising growth/ recovery from plant 2
- trichomes appear to be quite clear, no signs of amber
- The crop king seeds guide suggests 8 weeks of flowering time, we are a couple days into week 7 right now but the pistils are still about 60% white and somewhat straight, and the trichomes are quite clear. This would lead me to believe about 2 full weeks is left and likely closer to 2.5 weeks.
- Trying to plan out my flush, leaving me a full 7-10 days to have the plants finish their nutrients, that flush would best occur at the mid point next week
- I am expecting the trichomes to be cloudy by mid week 8, around feb. 25, I would flush them, and look to harvest 7-10 days later, around mar. 4-8
feb. 19
- ph 6.8
- moist
- definitely bulked up more, plant 2 is back and growing strong, damage on top canopy continues to burn and curl, yellowing a growing splotchy brown spots, but I am very confident that this is past damage from light burn which has since been fixed by dropping the watts down by 140
- more pistils are going orange
feb. 20
- buds fatting up really nice
Feb. 21
- Daytime temps reduced to low 70s
feb.22
- ph. 7.5
- moist
- will water tomorrow
- trichomes not yet fully cloudy
- mostly orange pistils
- mostly curled inward pistils, lower down popcorn still white and straight
- excellent trichomes on plant 2
- will feed tomorrow then I expect the next thing will be to flush so this will likely be the last feed
- daytime temps now 70-77
- nightime 65 +/-1F
feb. 23
- plants look very thirsty, leave shriveling from before but hanging down and not perky at all
- Dirt is very dry, moisture meter reads moist 5/10
- Ph: 7.6
- The plant is very hungry
- Some noticeable stretching or just more visible now
- Buds look to continue getting fatter and look really nice
- 4 gal of water ph = + 22ml of big bloom + 30ml of tiger bloom + 30ml of blackstrap molasses + 9ml of apple cider vinegar
- plucked more super dead leaves
