Welcome back to week 9
This week will be mostly playing the waiting game and some post stretch defoliation on the Photos
As all plants are done stretching, the feeding of PK was increased to support the bulking phase.
The auto tent is getting more frosty every day with temps between 25-20 degrees
Not much to do there, just ensuring reservoir is filled and airflow is good
The photos are also done stretching….mostly….i hope 😬
The BBM now reached same height than the others and some side branches also
If they stay like that for the next days I will do a final clean up defoliation on all 3 to get a bit more airflow and light penetration through all plants
Feeding will reach its peak this and next week with 2.0-2.1 EC and 5.9PH and decreased slowly after that
As an addition to my “why are photos stretching so crazy this time?” Question, I think I found the answer…. I started the PK a bit too early, as phosphorus in stretch makes plants grow more in between the branches… which is exactly what happened to all 3… they some times have 5-10cm spacing between the branches…
Lesson learned: don’t start pk before stretch is REALLY done! 😅👍
Update: the BBM and BKH are both still growing 😬 while I first thought the CW would be the big stretcher…it now shows I was completely wrong…
The CW is now the smallest in height and due to my LST the most dense
I have all a heavy defoliation (not completely lollipoped but still a lot foliage removed)
When I shut down the UCL it was complete darkness at the tray 😱 never had anything that dense and bushy
I just hope I can keep the RH under control in late flower…
And as a remark: I need new vents…both top fans get issues with the oscillation
Those need to be replaced before late flower starts!
