Re: Bassman's 6th - Blue Planet Nutrients - RDWC - Hi-Defoliation Martian & Master Ku
Mini update;
Day 68 in flower.
Getting very close to harvest time. I'm diluting the ppm's down by just adding ro water. currently 809 ppm or 1.6 e.c. using .500 meter.
Trichs are cloudy, mostly cloudy, with some clear but not much, and a very small amount going amberish slightly.
Eight weeks ago I predicted harvest day on Sunday the 23rd. Looks like I'm 7 days off with this Sunday being chop day.
Master Kush are getting very heavy and more string was needed today to support falling branches.
Martian Kush top branches are leaning as well but the buds are so much smaller. I'll be happy to deep six this strain when it's over.
I've been sick as hell for 8 days. Allergies I guess, but an 8 day migraine, total exhaustion, sinus trips going on, etc. Just making a trip downstairs and back puts me out of breath. But I'm getting better.
Had possibly the worst week of my life since taking in mom to take care of her Alzheimer's. Last Thurs, I woke up after 4 hrs sleep to 2-3 inches of water throughout the entire downstairs! I see this lake in the house and mom just sitting in her chair watching tv. She never hollered out or anything and didnt seem to think anything was wrong. She had flushed the toilet and it backed up and kept flowing!
In the end I bought a big ass shop-vac, a floor fan, and vac'd it all out of the carpet. Poorly I might add, as I was in peak of this sickness and exhaustion. I've been running the windows open all week and fans. Yet there is still some wetness. And holy shit the stink from mold-mildew in carpets! It's going to cost me $1200 to get carpets replaced and I don't have the $$. I didn't report it to the landlords because I'm sure they would evict us. They wouldn't give two shits about mom and the fluke accident. It's going to take me at least two more weeks at best to come up with the $$ to replace carpets. I'm just hoping I can safely harvest and dry upstairs. Upstairs there is no smell, and rh is 31% except in the grow room where it's 51% during this flowering period. I think I'll be safe.
It's pretty humiliating to go downstairs and smell that smell. Makes me feel like shit even though there wasn't anything I could do about it. If she'd have just hollered out my name, I would have woken and prevented it being this bad. I never close the door to my master bedroom, and sleep very lightly just so I can help mom anytime she need's it. So not getting that shout out really bumbs me out.
I haven't caught up on anyone's journals all week. Just too sick to read/think. Hopefully I'll catch up between now and harvest day.
My Kosher Kush that are in veg and were going to be taking over this grow after harvest look to be at least 2 weeks behind schedule for getting the move to flowering after I chop this and dry on rack in tent for a week. And the Main-lining is not going to happen as that would put it further back. So just one topping for all those girls.
I'll be getting more uniseals delivered late tomorrow. This will allow me to veg the next batch of seeds in RDWC in my 4x4 tent while the Kosher Kush starts flowering in the 5x5. I've taken only 1 Kosher Kush clone so far. She'll be ready for going into a 5 gal dwc by Sunday. I'll be making her a mother.
I'm also going to drop new seeds by Sunday-Monday I think. I'm undecided on Master Kush which I know well and love or Holy Grail Kush which is a OG#18 & Kosher Kush cross, that I have yet to grow but am hoping to make as my 3rd of three main strains I want to keep going perpetually. I don't know which I'll pop first. The plan is to get these new seeds into the old 4x4 tent and veg under 400w hid or my 685 LED. The led is flowering 7 2L hempy buckets presently in a closet and won't be ready quite on time but not drastically behind.
That's all for now. Hopefully I'll have some good pics come Sunday of pre-harvest and chop.
