Day 53 - 4/22/2020

Been 10 days since flip to flower and looks like pistils are starting to form. pistils_4_22_2020.jpg flower_sites_4_22_2020.jpg

Watered them today at 5.9 pH and with EC of 1.32. Two rounded tsp of Mega Crop and almost a 1/4 tsp of Bud Explosion. That brought the EC to just over 1.4 so I added back in some plain water to get it a little lower. I think they will handle it fine. They seem to be taking everything I throw at them fine.

Day 54 - 4/23/2020

Wow. Took the Northern Lights out because it looked dry and I wanted to get a look at it. Man that thing is a monster (at least for my small tent). It probably needed some more water but is going to have to wait until tomorrow morning when the rest are ready. Obviously not the best situation but it is what it is. I'm going to have to remember to give it slightly more water than the rest.

Day 55 - 4/24/2020

Took CG1 out of the tent and was barely able to water the back 3. WT2 is the farthest back so that was the hardest to reach. Trying to move as few as possible to water them.

Mixed up 2 level tsp of Mega Crop and a full 1/8 tsp of Bud Explosion for the water. Came out to 1.2 EC so I added a 1/8 tsp more of Mega Crop to get the EC to 1.3. Completely forgot to pH the water :wall:, but luckily the nutrients bring the level down to something close to acceptable for me. It reached 6.2 pH with just nutrients. Also went through and did a lot heavier defoliation of the canopy again for airflow and also now for light penetration to the bud sites. Could see the remaining fan leaves start to wilt a little from the stress, but I have no doubt they're going to bounce back and quickly.

Day 57 - 4/26/2020

Water day. CG1 still had a little moisture on top so I gave it slightly less water this time. Mixed up 2 level tsp of Mega Crop and came out to 1.1 EC exactly. Added 1/4 tsp Bud Explosion came out to 1.2 EC and added one more 1/4 tsp Bud Explosion and came out to 1.325 EC. Think I'm going to keep the current level of Mega Crop and adjust the Bud Explosion as needed for them.

Pulled out CG1 and WT1 to water.

Here they are perked up from yesterday's defoliation and watering. I'm constantly picking off a small handful of leaves each day as I noticed the ones blocking bud sites. Feels like they never stop filling back in.

Day 59 - 4/28/2020

Decided to up the Bud Explosion a little for the mix today. 2 tsp Mega Crop, 3/4 tsp Bud Explosion. EC came out to 1.47, going to let it ride and see how they do. With nutrients pH settled down to 5.8 with no up/down added. environment_4_28_2020.jpg environment_4_28_2020 (2).jpg

Still green and healthy in natural light. Pulled out CG1 and WT1 for the watering.

Day 60 - 4/29/2020

Canopy is pretty even, at least as close as I could get it with running multiple strains. OG2 in the back right is just belowe canopy level. One top of the CG2 in the back middle seemed to shoot up overnight and just left that one. Two tops on NL1 up against the right side of the tent continued to try to be the tallest so I supercropped them to see how they react.

Day 61 - 4/30/2020

Water day this morning. CG1 still not drinking quite as much as the others, gave slightly less water this time in hopes it dries out consistently with the others. 2 tsp Mega Crop and 3/4 tsp Bud Explosion came out to 1.41 EC and 6.0 pH and left as is and watered in. They did fine with 1.47 last feed so i'll give them another watering of the same and might push up to 1 tsp of Bud Explosion next feeding.

Day 62 - 5/1/2020

So I've found myself with a problem I never had last grow. RH is too high right now for flower. Just so much plant matter with transpiration going on in a small area now.

I tweaked the exhaust fan a little. If I turn it up all the way to 10, I can get the RH to an acceptable level, but it also is drawing all the warm air out of the tent bringing the temperature down too much. I turned on the dehumidifier that's outside the tent about 15 ft away in the basement hoping that it'll dry the air down here a little. I turned the max temp setting down to 75 and with the AC Infinity fan at 7 the heater is struggling to even get the tent to 75. The Inkbird RH monitor is reading 53.5% RH and AC Infinity monitor is reading 63%. I think the actual RH is closer to that 60% number as the hygrometer inside the tent is reading about that.

Shit. I'm going to have to figure something out. :wall:

On the plus side the ladies are looking pretty today.
