Hello y'all! Today marks the last day of the third week of flowering.
At the start of this week I watered the plant with 1 liter of plain water, no excess draining. I also applied some extra LST, I really wanted to expose as much as possible the buds. My light is not that powerful, it produce real 70/75 watts... so I do my best to take advantage of it with some LST and a major defoliation. I took out 13 leaves, some of them were a bit crushed or damaged so they had to go to create more space for the light and overall for the health of the Titan. Some of them they were just making too much shade on the buds so they also had to go ahhahaha
Couple of days ago I watered with 3 liters of water with nutrients. The excess was 1.5 liter.
I found the limit of the pot, around 2.5/3 liters of water per week. That's the sweet spot.
I was concerned that the plant didn't drink enough but then if I take in consideration that the pot is only 7 liters and I did fill it with around 6 liters of soil...then I think is more than fine as it it. We will see.
So in conclusion this week the baby got roughly 4 liters of water adjusted to pH 6.3.
The water that drained off the pot was around pH 6.7/6.8. I think is a little too much and I am considering to water next time with pH around 6.0 o 6.1 maybe I will be able to drop the pH of the excess water to 6.6 or 6.5. We will see.
The temperature is constantly around 21 to 23 degrees celsius and the humidity at the moment is constantly under 50%. At least I don't have to worry about mold. I hope.
The smell is strong with some mango scents, amazing plant! I hope it smokes also as good as it smells!
I wanted to point out something that I've noticed and it popped in my mind.
My pot was for 7 liters but in the pot I have roughly 6 liters of soil. So there is some extra empty space for soil on the very top of the pot.
The problem is that I noticed that on the very bottom of the main stem the plant tried to sprout some extra roots but because there was no soil around it they didn't spread and died straight away.
I've noticed that the plant could be much stronger or bigger if I let her root also a bit higher on the main stem... but because there was no soil around the stem the roots didn't come out from there. You can see it in the last picture. I circled in red the spots.
I believe I could do much better if the roots were starting a lil higher on the stem and not just where is the soil.
If you don't get me or im unable to explain myself cus im stoned then please give a look at the last picture of this week. You will understand what I meant, if not peace and love the same hahahaha
Overall I believe everything is going in the right direction, in 2 weeks +- I should harvest. I hope I can get 50 g dry of this plant. See you next week guys!
