24kt gold update
start week 6 bloom
we are officially midbloom. the stretch finished out, only gained 2 inches of vertical growth over the whole week. the handful of superstar arms that shot up first and highest also stopped first and now the average growth evened things up pretty well on thier own.
im keeping ALL growth above the screen. the staggered node formation is allowing me enough light and air to make it safe and possible. flowers deep in the canopy are forming and developing quite well, and i foresee no larfy airy buds anywhere in this grow, so long as i can maintain this groove i got going here.
plants are 26 inches tall right now. my light is all the way up, sitting 20 inches off the canopy which is currently 17 inches deep.
nute concentration is about 1000ppm. nitrogen cut nearly in half this week, potassium/phosphorous up, terpinator up, and every other day im throwing a pinch of hot pk in the res as a booster. started doing that because i learned that when uptake is strong, the plants can use it all up in a couple of days. and whaddya know, development has been more consistent through the entire week. little tricks add up!!
supercropping. damn. shit ton of work on a grow like this but oh my god worth it! even my skinniest shortest shittiest stems nearly doubled in thickness and node distances are at about an inch. do you have any idea what thats gonna do for my dry weight?!?!?! cant thank the forum enough i tell ya.
this past week has shown a lot of trichome development. i mean all of a sudden style. hope that is a continuing trend too! been doing pretty well keeping temps under 80°f and my lights off them enough to preserve all of that resin and the terpenes. speaking of terpines!!! first smells coming from these girls!!! only a faint weed funk, not really a skunk. just enough i have my scrubber fan at lowest setting. but you touch resin and the REAL FRUIT smell of tangerine comes sweet and strong. dont know how that smell gets into weed, but its delicious and i love it. i really do want all around quality this time and im trying damn hard to get it and keep it. weight and potency is equipment and how you use it. quality is all on the grower.
still holding off on the 2nd screen. saw lucky wait til they started leaning over on his grow, figure i still have a ways to go. also not gonna get too fancy with it, just some netting stretched tight should be enough.
new wave of gnats moved in. except its fuit gnats this time, little orange bodied banana stealers. wtf? not a plant bug really. and they seemed mainly interested in only one plant, and mostly at the pot site.
come to find out that plant pot pushed down a lil lower into the res than the others over time and when i fill up to level on the pot i see up.front leaving a little air space, the pot in back i CANT see is actually partially under water. so the harmless bugs told me i was having an issue before the plant itself did.
thank you bugs in my tent????
future grows. seriously undecided. housing situation still up in the air, but im trying to think my way around it because i really dont want to put my new love hobby on hold. considering switching to coco/perlite or similar to make it a little more portable if i have to. i dont know. just know i dont want this to stop even temporarily. finally found something i can understand and dig into and really do well with, plus save me a lot of money despite the expenses to set up and operate. i will figure something out. my concern with switching substrates is it might be like starting fro scratch leaving a lot of opportunities to fuck shit up. im getting comfy with DWC equipment and one more grow this way and i will be able to fly this bitch with my eyes closed and put all of my attention on the plants where it should be.
definately taking down the veg table though. if i keep going after this harvest, everything gets done in single light rotation until further notice, lol.
thanks for checkin out my grow people, your support is very much appreciated.
hopefully i can catch up more with you all later today. im missing my forum time bad.
later folks
