89 Days Growing 31 Days Flowering
How's things going Folks? I was gonna let you know how things are goin for the ladies. As you know, they were beginning to develop a pH shift but I caught it in the knick of time before it got way outta hand and would've been alot harder to get a hand on and correct by then. They had just got on the high side of range just right at 7.0. I started to add pH down to my feeding waters and nutes solutions when I fed and I feed 1 gal. of water per plant at this point in their grow/flower cycle. I have did this twice so far and the pH going in is set at 5.8ish and the pH out run off has been at a steady 6.4-6.5ish and I'm happy with those results at this time. I did notice on the #2 plant there is a couple and by that I meen 5 or 6 smaller leaves have turned a lighter shade with a few spots around them. This I assume happened when the pH had gotten kicked up to the higher levels but their leveling back out now. Next week will be time for the monthly 4 week flush I've been doing for them just to make sure no build up of salts and hard nutrients are being left to cause any problems to the root zone and or soil. I decided to start a monthly flush useing FF Sledgehammer and FF Boomerang for the quick come around and they both are well worth the purchase and do a really good job.
Now on the amount of water I said I provide my girls, 1 gal. per plant probally seems like alot or overkill. Well I like most of you all probally use the smart pots or fabric pots. I'm currently useing the 3 gal. pots but my upcoming grow I've got the 5 gal. fabric pots I'm going to switch to. And as anyone who uses these types of pots knows it's hatd to over water your plants, but it can be done if not done right.
I feed my ladies every 3rd day, so this is how I do it. If I feed now and today is the 9th I want feed again until the 12th every 3rd day. I use the pot lift method to check the weight of my pots to determine when they need watered and thats when they feel really light like a feather only the weight of the plant the pot supports. To me this is as reliable as the finger test to feel if the soil still feels damp or wet up to one finger knuckle.
And I water till I have about 20% run off come out the bottom of the pots.
Last night I took some plant twist ties and my #1 plant was growing close together with no space between the colas so I gently spread them apart on the outside of the canopy and tied them down giving them all more room and air flow inside and through the canopy to assist on keeping mold down and allowing the colas to grow bigger and more dense. My #2 plant is just huge around the canopy and I really need my tent set up for both plants cause the closet at this time is not big enough to support both ladies but I've got them in there the best I can with still good light and air moving through each plant but for my upcoming grow I'm going to have to tone the plant training down a bit cause all the Monster Cropping I did to them especially #2 has made her massive and spread out not to mention all the colas and grow tips that actually made it all the way to the top. I didn't ever think some of them would even make it half way to the middle of the plant and they made it all the way to the damn top with the main colas, I'm not complaining at all what so ever just need more room and I have no where to have my tent thats still packed and unopened from nearly 3 years ago when I first purchased it. If only I could have my spare bed room back and baby bro. and wifey could get their own place, if she would get up and actually do something to help they could. Sorry just venting.
Anyhow thats all for the time and I'll post the pics later when I snap'em, gotta let the light come on first.
Until then you all have a great day and as always (Keeo it Green).
