Hey Cruzer, thanks for stopping by brother. Yea, they have definitely grown a lot haha. Next time I will do a proper scrog and let them grow into the screen instead of forcing a screen on them haha. I looked around and didnt see any ties that seemed to be hurting the plant at all. Honestly I think everything is going pretty well. I'm a little sad that there was so much vertical growth above the screen which makes it muuch harder to get the lower bud spots which is the entire reason for doing a scrog. That being said, I still think I'm going to get a good yield and some good smoke. I'm also thinking that I may be able to harvest the more ripe top buds and then let the lower ones fatten up a bit, but no one has really given me any feedback on that idea.
Well, the clones have now survived three days. I took 4 from Snow White, and 1 of them died, and I took one from the flowering girls and chucked it in some rockwool. The 3 Snow White and the 1 flowering one are all still alive and looking pretty happy. HOpefully everything will keep up and this will work out nicely with great timing to drop those in the system when these girls come out.
I couldn't do my daily data and maintenance to the girls because friends were over, so I was left with some harsher data this morning. The flower tub was down to 5.3 ph and was down an inch of water with a ppm spike up to 1010. Actually, none of it was terrible, so that is good. I added a gallon of fresh water and also through in another ounce of the Flower nutrients. My full nute base was 1000ppm, and I was thinking of getting to like 1200. So I wanted to add 1/5 of the ppm. I went ahead and just added ~1/5 of the flower strength nutes just to see what happens. I was afraid to add the other part nutrients because I was not sure of their effects on the plant, but I figured that the Flower nutrients could probably only help unless completely overloaded. After adding the water and the nutes, the ppm was at 1150, so it wasn't too far off. Is what I did okay? I am going to see if I get a reaction from them, and then debate on how much else to push them like you guys have been suggesting I do.
The mother was down to only 4" of water with a ph of 5.6 and 1060 ppms. Adjusted her back out to 5.85, 950, and 6.5" and she seems happy.
I really need to get that magnifying glass from Radio Shack because some of these buds are starting to look ripe while others definitely need more time. Is it okay to harvest buds periodically to try adn harvest them all at the proper time? Some have 100% white hairs, while others have 1/2 curled darker hairs, which means that the growth of the crop as a whole is not equal.
Just a few things running through my head, maybe you guys can help me clear it up a bit.
