I know its been a while.Still lookin good >
But I didn't wanna keep posting boring shit about the small things no 1 really cares about. Munki U asked about specifics for individual plants. I omitted certain info on purpose. For my feeding schedule I follow the one that came with my nutes.
Its been hot as shit lately so I've been dealin with temps as high as 86F which is warmer than I care for in my room. Humidity has been ab issue at night, say a few spots of PM and I've been spraying with h2o/baking soda to combat PM. I have also been consistently watering/feeding at PH 6.1 with good results. Everything in coco seems to be dealing with deficiencies except one of 4. Thinking of culling 3 because of sever stunted growth probably due to overwatering. Last two feeds all pots (except triplets) fed at PH 6.1, 800 PPM. I uped the nutes of the triplets too 1000 PPM. I accidentally forgot to PH the last feeding and fed 2 qts at 5.7. I've also been cutting the amount fed down and feeding and watering more frequently to deal with humidity and powdery mildew I mixed the recommended bloom mix and added, silica solution, organic phosphorus, and I reincorporated grow (portion normally stopped during flowering 5mL/gal) to help keep nitrogen in play so foliage doesn't yellow too bad toward the end of flower. Finally stopped hand mixing (too many gallons to mix one at a time. Picked up a bucket, air pump, and airstone. I just put a couple gallons h2o in and plug up every thing an just measure and pour.
Got decent bud formation, the supercroped plants buds appear to be smaller, perhaps behind in development forcing energy to repair bends instead of developing buds. Supercroped branches have repaired themselves and side branches have caught up to tops and created more budsites.
This branch (as well as a few others) split when bending, some were stiffer than others and some didn't have enough space between nodes.
Got some good, vigorous new growth and canopy has risen within the 2 foot area I try to keep clear so foliage isn't damaged. As long as it doesn't look like it gonna burn the foliage I won't raise the HID. I also placed some bamboo stakes in the 3 gal pots to support supercroped plants.
That string hanging is used to measure distance from hood to canopy (2' length).
The plants under the 600W are growing beautifully. The plants under the 400W are growing shorter but there's tighter internode spacing.
Smell is a more dank, sweet aroma. As buds form that ooh familiar flowering smell has arrived . That smell always remind me of my first full cycle. DCxSC

Deep Chunk x Strawberry Cough (indica/sativa hybrid Coffee Shop Blue Sky cut). The cure of my avatar is complete (reached minimum time of 2 weeks). They were cured in 1 qt mason jars. Stems were cut off to get the most buds in the jars. Filled 2 1/4 jars. Jars were placed in a box placed in a cool dark place. Jars were "burped" or opened at irregular intervals with no set schedule. They would be left open for 5-120 mins (120 would be because I forgot they were open). Most of the time the full jars would be laid on their side while open. I read another thread here and a brother was saying that doing this uses the weight of the heavy buds to help compact the buds a little better as the dry. After about a week the buds on top seemed a little dry so cut a piece of lemon, peeled the pulp and "skin". Next, I bent the peel in different directions a little to get some moisture to the surface and dried with a paper towel. Then I cut the peel in 2 and placed one in each jar. The next day it felt too wet and I thought it would mold or somethin, but I kept burpin them for like 30-60 mins open. As of today I'm happy to say that the peels have dried out, shriveled, and browned signaling the end of the cure!!. So no the report. I put a gram thru the grinder rolled in a swisher and smoked with a lil leftover finger hash. I am high as giraffe ass right now. The smoke was crisp, not quite as smooth as I'd like (gotta flush better). Taste good. This doesn't have the dominant Strawberry Cough flavor although there is a hint of strawberry upon exhaling.Had more of a lemonade taste. Perhaps the lemon peel pushed the lemon flavor to be more dominant, just an idea. It has a lemonade smell when fondled. Buds are fluffy (by genetics I'm assuming),I'v grown with tap in summer with no climate control and with filtered water in AC room. Slight difference. Fluffy covered in trichomes with brown hairs. Can look "dry" if left out of a jar but when u touch it, its still sticky. So resinous that ur lips and fingers will be stick afterward. U'll be cleaning your bond after no more that a weeks session (if u have a jr lightweight bong like I do). The buds are green/dark green, not very dense but not "airy". I've had a purple crop b4 (tryna do it again). Not a one hitter IMO. More of a head high, yet relaxing. Upbeat, uplifting high but still relaxing (hard to explain). I found humor in thing that aren't ordinarily funny. I'm more focused, hell I'm typing this lengthy review. I'm no school educated doctor but, I feel that this would be an excellent strain to help with anxiety or depression. Can also be used for stress relief (more mental than physical IMO). Not a run to the fridge herb but if u haven't eaten in a few hours u will.
