********* Week 7 - January 20 to 26, 2020 (Days 43 to 49 from seed popping)
She is taking shape more this week by getting taller colas and thinning out between nodes.......oh yeah, and fattening of buds😜😎 It was also not without learning though and thats what is so cool about growing this plant.......you always seem to leave a grow feeling like you could do even better next time and therefore challenging yourself to do better......and have bowl while doing it😂
Her nodes are getting taller and giving herself room for packing on weighty buds👍 If left to one cola should be a fatty!!! But then I would be freaking about potential bud-rot....so I am cool with it. Since LST though it will be interesting to see how well she fills in six😳 She has the makings of being a good producer......its up to the grower to now to keep her happy😬 and see if she packs on the weight with roughly three more full weeks to go??
Missed opportunities in CalMag showing.😰 Left a lot of leaves and two branches that should have removed. Potassium excess contributed to by grower learning Terpinator and Massive.😰 Main stem should have been a little lower......further opportunity to improve👍💪
Got a little crazy with the PPM and felt I knew more than the nutrient company and went above the recommended max by roughly 30%😰😎😭 Yeah.......dummy! My defence.....1300 isn’t too high for Advanced Nutrients in late flower😃😃 Anyway, I screwed up and saw tip burn in week 7. Gave a quick little flush with RO water and Sensyzime to clean up the roots of the salts. Didn’t get crazy though because it was just the top leaves burnt. Been building the medium up to this point so don’t want to wash it all away just yet. She seemed to react well and nodes standing up and didn’t show much outwardly as signs of overwatering😬
Reviewing some of the photos this week I have seen the first small parts of a few hairs drying and turning colour.......no full hairs and not on every bud but enough to say they are first ones.......three more weeks?? Curious.....time will tell.....seen Jan 26, day 49. (49 + 21 = 70.......makes sense.) Feed will stop next week.....by end of my week 8.
In the week a head there will be the last push to get her medium in as good a shape as my skills will warrant. I want to get a good 10 + days of flush to see her in the beauty of senescence and how she matures. Run-off has been reasonable so will keep fingers crossed 😄🤞
Little more detail....
Jan 20/20 - Day 43
- Drinking lots right now, close to 4L per day, so 2L plain water only in AM. 6.2pH,.
- Feed in PM was light as well. Sensyzime @ 2ml and LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml only. 2L given with 75ppm. 5.9pH
- She was given a good feeding yesterday.
- Buds sites looking taller.
Jan 21/20 - Day 44
- AM - 3L with Dual Fual A&B @ 1.5ml/L. 725ppm and 5.9pH.
- PM hit her again - full feeding minus Rhino Skin, Sensyzime and Vitrathrive and VeloKelp. 2.5L 1000ppm and 5.9pH.
- Runoff - 950ppm and 5.6pH.
- top leaves were droopy so the extra feeding in the evening.
Jan 22/20 - Day 45
- Backing off quantity a bit and down to 3L feed in PM.
- Mass & Terp @ 3ml, Rezin & LW8 & DF @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 0.5ml = 1300ppm
- Very perky today....standing up all the way down the plant. Liked the feed yesterday.
******this was likely the mistake feed looking back********left the ppm too high and should have added in RO water to bring down around 1000ppm! At least it seems traceable and will go with that😀
Jan 23/20 - Day 46
- Supplemental feeding only today. Happy so don't rock the boat :)
- Sensyzime @ 2ml, LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 80ppm 6.1pH
- 2L only today.....still some weight to the pot
Jan 24/20 - Day 47
- 2L feed: Massive @ 2ml, DF & LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 925ppm 6.2pH
- Nute burn on Green Poison but Zkittlez seems fine and she is fine. Maybe a slight lightening on a few tips....
- happy and praying in the evening.
Jan 25/20 - Day 48
- 4L of full strength feeding for this week.
- ppm for that was 1275 so watered down to 1100ppm.....only need 1ml of base nutes at full strength to hit roughly 1,000ppm.
- Runoff: 900ppm & 6.05pH....happy with that.
- she is 28” x 28” now
- Her cola growth was strong, taller for each of the 6 She is in fattening mode….feed her 😀
Jan 26/20 - Day 49
- So no surprise when you push a girl you find her limit. Tips burnt this morning.😥😔
- 6L plain RO water pH to 6.2
- Followed right away with 2L RO water with Sensyzime @ 2ml/L.
- Runoff: 465ppm.
- She responded very well to this and all tips were up still in the evening.....no over watering signs.
- Removed about 15 fan leaves and 4 lower bud sites.
- guessing only another 1.5 weeks of feeding.
- not falling to sleep an hour before lights out anymore either😀
Happy growing fellow enthusiasts and thanks for the time to read🙏🙏
