Chi-Chi Gelato
Drought Day 5: Photos and Notes
@Weed Seeds Express @Mars Hydro @Prescription Blend
Today would have been Day 6 Drought for Chi-Chi. As we have noted, these girls can go from totally fine to showing help is needed very fast. It is so important to use the LWA, whether you use a protractor, app, or your eyes, to see when they have had enough.
I wanted to elaborate on the end of this drought, make some notes on things and be as thorough as possible for those who are new or skeptical to the concept.
I want growers to not be afraid of this technique and to appreciate its worth. We do have a new sponsor here with kits that check THC percentages. Although I am doing different reviews now, I'm going to reach out to Rob to see if we can work with this sponsor come next grow round.
I've got a new
@Mars Hydro 100 x 100 that will house 3 photos. They will be under a new
@Mars Hydro light and the tent and light in this new grow will then be reviewed. In addition, my goal is to run 2 of the same ladies in there, drought one and leave the other and compare the testing results thereafter using our sponsor's kit. Then we can really put this to the test!
This new run will begin as soon as I get the new light as Chi-Chi will more than likely be getting harvested Monday. The only thing I neglected to do last night and this morning are her trich shots and I will gather and post those this evening.
Yesterday morning I walked into Chi-Chi and some seriously wilting but not overly discolored leaves-remember, all plants show their stress to this differently! Her soil was so so dry...
Checked on her mid-day and these leaves were getting better....
Droughting didn't hurt her ability to BULK...
She recovered well when I checked on her last night, including that one bad leaf
She took some leaf injuries do to the drought but nothing too crazy!
Her trichomes really did amp up throughout as we can see in some of these flash shots
And for all who question the health, post drought of our ladies, these are some pics this morning that show how she just went back to doing her thing, here at the very end of her time with us
Other than a couple ugly little leaves that will stay
...her color, her plump and her vigor remain and I will be back tonight with some of what could be, her final trich shots
Thanks for following on Chi-Chi's droughting journey!
