Pinky (Herbies Seeds Bubblegum Auto)
Date: 11/27/23 Day# 83 Fday# 52
Medium: 5G SIP Bucket with FFHF & Dynomyco
Nutrients: MC Blend (5gMC+1gMgN+.33BE - 148-50-182,114,64,51)

Pinky has slowed down her drinking in the past couple of days. She's also getting more yellowing on her lowers, especially on the side with the fan blowing on her. I've been wondering if the pH is diving late in flower causing the uptake issues, like it does in my RDWC. I added 1ml pH up to her feed today, I'll see if it makes any difference. It could just be a bit cooler in the basement, too.

I've lowered the @VIVOSUN A200SE to 80%, giving them 38-40 DLI across the canopy. I'll keep it here for another week or so, then lower it down to 70%. Pinky has a few leaves turning color but still looks really good overall. Her buds are mostly airy foxtails (genetics?) but they are big and stinky

She's really maturing nicely but still looks a couple of weeks away.

Gaby has really started drinking now, over 2L/day. Up until now she's just been getting well water, but tomorrow she'll start her flowering nutrients.

Gaby is long and lean, making it hard to LST her. I've spent the most time on the two uppers, moving the LST out further on the branch. Right now her canopy is fairly even without too much work.

She's already 24" tall, though, and she's about to start stretching now that she's in flower. Right now she's only about 21" wide, so I have some room to work with.

I checked the light the other day and she was at 60DLI. I finally gave in and raised it up, but I'm keeping the DLI a little higher than normal for her. At the end of her fourth week she's not quite as tall as her tent-mate yet, but she's still growing fast.

Thanks GDB. But... Tamed? She's 23" tall and just starting flower, I still have a ways to go before she's tamed! The next three weeks are going to be the real fight

If Pinky keeps pushing out those white pistils it's gonna be mighty tough to harvest by trichomes, so it's a good thing you have the LKAharvestGauge® worked out!

And Gaby has a bit of that N tox claw going on. :hmmmm:

It's still much harder to tell with all the foxtails. I know she's not ready yet

Yea, I noticed that too. She's in FFHF with 1/2c Geoflora veg for 16 days now, getting nothing but water (with Great White & BTI). She's drinking enough now that she should flush whatever it is out quickly enough (I hope). She actually looks a little better today.

Gaby was getting way too much light, 60+DLI in some areas. I've been hesitant to back off the light because she's growing so quickly, but she was starting to show signs of distress. I have her back to 45-50 DLI, still trying to discourage too much stretch.

She's already 27" tall and growing. I have a little bit of room to spread her out, but she has huge SIP stems so it's not going to be easy. It may be time to try some weight training soon, or get some really long wires. I also need to get rid of a few suckers. I hate to get rid of any bud sites when she has so few, but those outside underneath branches are nothing but trouble. She's drinking over 2.5L/day and growing quickly, I better get moving to catch up

Pinky is definitely fading. She's pulling from her lower leaves, and her branches are losing the fight with gravity too.

Pinky (Herbies Seeds Bubblegum Auto) day# 85 - Losing leaves and the battle with gravity

I'm not sure if it's just natural or if she needs a late-flower flush. She still has plenty of foliage, though, and she's still drinking. I've reduced the @VIVOSUN A200SE to 75%, giving her 35-40 DLI across the canopy. I'll keeping feeding as-is for the next week and see where she's at then.

Gaby is only on day# 5 of flower and she's nearly as tall as Pinky, over 30" tall. Today I hung some weight from the tips of her 6 mains, in the form of garden staples. This took her down a couple of inches and really helped spread her out as well. I also removed the 6 main suckers, outside branches growing down. This lady is going to be stretching for a couple more weeks, I'm going to do everything I can to keep her in check. Hopefully no suplex is needed

This morning Gaby had shrugged off most of her weights. I'm using these garden staples as weights.

Garden stakes I'm using as weights

So, I added another one to each main, further out on the branch. I also added one to a few of the taller inner branches. It's really helping keep her from getting too tall while also spreading her out. She's only on day# 6 of flower, so there's still plenty of stretching left...

I'm starting to see more signs that Pinky is finishing up. A lot more of her stigma have turned orange/brown, although they are not crinkling in yet. Her calyx are starting to get a lot more color. Her lower branches are starting to sag more and more. I may have even spotted a late-flower nanner or two. Of course, I've had nanners on several autos and have found a total of 1 seed from them. If she ends up seeding anything... so be it.

She's starting to pull more and more from her leaves, especially up top. I'm not sure if it is pH, salt buildup, or she's just not drinking as much as she goes into senescence. Today I gave her a good dose of Sweet Candy, making sure she has plenty of P/K/S/Mg. I'm thinking I'll give her a flush this weekend. Worse case is it does nothing and I'm only out about 1/2 hour and 5g of water. I'm hoping it will get her drinking more to finish up strong.
