Day 41 update.
Boy am I glad I’ve got that carbon filter! The smell is insane. Very very strong smell of fresh bud. I’m getting citrus smells and fruity smells and strong earthy smells, but also sweet smells... put it like this, they smell delicious! I’m surprised at how strong the smell is this early on. By my calculations I still have several weeks to go, so I’m curious if the smell intensifies in the meantime.
The buds are coming along nicely. Forming nicely. I’m checking daily for any signs of bud rot or anything like that, given how dense the buds look. I appreciate the buds have a long way to go yet, but they’re getting there.
my temps are around 27C. Cannot lower them to save my life. Tried everything now. The windows in the room the tent is in are wide open allowing fresh air into the room, the fans are on full. The light is now at full height meaning the rollers won’t allow me to raise the lights any higher. I can’t lower them. 27-28C is the current temp inside the tent with a RH of 49% - guess I’m learning that this is the down side to having HPS lamps are the amount of heat it kicks out. Feel like I’m out of options with that unless i fork out money on proper air cooling, which to be honest I don’t really want to.
The feed has been standard. I’ve moved off grow now. The plants are having just bloom now. They’ve had about 3ml each this week with about 4 litres of water per plant. Not all in one go; but spread out over a 7 day period. This was after I flushed with water.
There’s not a huge lot else I can do at the minute besides watch and wait. A lot of my focus now is on just nursing it through to the finish line. I’m checking for any signs of bud rot, any signs of pests or any issues with feed/PH.
the 5 GSC plants are all budding beautifully. They’re all well into budding now. They’ve not gained any new height at all in the last 7 days.
The Glue Gelato plant, however, is beyond huge. I’ve got my light at the highest point in the tent, the rollers physically won’t allow me to lift the light anymore than it is. The Glue Gelato plant however is approaching the light and now measures a whopping 122cm tall. it’s slowly starting to bud. This plant has been extremely sensitive to the amount of water it’s been receiving and very sensitive to heat too. That being said it’s grown the best so far. Feel it’s been a little under valued in this journal. It’ll certainly make up a large bulk of my final crop and I’m excited to try it!
I know that these are just autos, a lot of people will argue they’ve grown better plants and I know full well people have.. but I’m proud I’ve grown these myself and got to this point with no issues and for a first time grower I’m happy with this so far. I see a lot of people posting daily with issues they have so I feel blessed that these have got this far problem free and with a healthy looking
inal crop!
anyway, enough mumbling, here’s some pics. I did a naughty pic and took one of the Girl Scout cookies out the tent so you could see it a bit better.
Girl Scout Cookies firstly;
AND also here is the Glue Gelato plant. Like I said, haven’t focused too much on this but feel it’s the underdog! As you can see it’s only just beginning to bud so is some way behind my GSC!
