Hmm I think the one girl is doing the same for me. It would explain why I keep getting rises in my PPM. Either that or I need to include some more bloom nutes....

Those glossy leaves are still getting frosty!Day 87
Flower Day 48
Tent temp: 26C avg
Tent RH%: ~40-50%
Previous PPM: : 1037
Current PPM: 1027
Adjusted PPM to: 1027(not adjusted)
PH: 6.3 reset to 5.8
Res temp: 20C
Water level: down
So right now I keep getting rises in my PPM, I'm not too worried as I believe it's due to the different stages of development, and Genetics.
They seem content more or less with the current mix. The BB x NLs are showing purples rather nicely. The SuperSkunk....well she just keeps getting Bigger. I've yet to dial the light down, and won't until they show a need to.

Day 91
Flower Day 45
Tent temp: 23C avg
Tent RH%: ~30-40%
Previous PPM: 1131
Current PPM: 1136
Adjusted PPM to: 1136 (adjusted with top up)
PH: 6.8 reset to 5.8
Res temp: 19C
Water level: down/falling
So the three Autoflower girls in the tent are growing beautifully. The largest plant (SuperSkunk Autoflower) is developing nice chunky colas, and looks like as expected, will produce a nice yield. She looks to be maybe 3-4 weeks from finishing?
The second largest plant- an auto BB x NL is still bulking up and has a few weeks left.
The smallest, also a BB x NL is just about done. I went in the other night and gave her a trim, removing all fan leaves to open her up further so the larf can finish up. I'll be using the digital microphone tonight to begin watching trichomes. Once she's ready I'll be trying a dry method thats a bit different, but highly recommended and popular on here. The low and slow method using a fridge.
I'm still seeing some minor rises in PPM/EC, and as the one girl is close to finishing, she accounts for the reason why I'm seeing those rises. When a plant is close to done, she won't take up as much feed. Normally I would dilute the nutes to keep her happy. However, since the three plants are at different stages, I'll keep the sololution as is.
Here's some pictures from last night.

Fantastic mate.. lovely garden man
I’m having a mare, with these temps and the drying. I’ll give that link a read presently.

Thanks Bud, that is the exact reason I want to give this a try,...I think it'll be a bit less stressful. And most importantly, I now have a fridge in my garage for some brewski.Fantastic mate.. lovely garden man

To be honest, I was so upset and disappointed when I removed the stunted plant in the beginning. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it gave me just enough space to fit a portable AC and dehumidifier inside.
Oh and I should have included in the update something. Remember the stunted runt? She sat on a garbage can roots exposed for several days, then when I saw she was still alive I dropped her in a solo cup and put her on a window sill with some nutes sitting in the bottom (Kratky style). I eventually (weeks later) tossed her into some soil and have given her the odd bit of Mega Crop whenever I remember to.
Well she's still tiny, but I didn’t spend a penny more on her and I'll have a small smoke or two from her. But most importantly, she's still alive...she's a tough little one.

The girl outside in the bag is she in flower already?

I hope she sang a happy song?

Hi Bill!
The girl outside, is actually an autoflower BB x NL who was stunted accidentally at the beginning of the journal. She's the same age as 3 of the plants in the tent. When I started there was 4 in the tent, but as I had decided to remove the bucket containing the 100% perlite, I took the stunted plant out of the grow. When I saw she somehow had survived after a few days ontop of a metal trashcan...I gave her the 2nd chance at life by tossing her in some soil and in some sunshine. Figured she would be a perfect test of a tiny outdoor plant.
So after a long ramble
the answer would be yes, she's in flower. To be honest anything I get from her is just bonus bud
Damn those are some good looking flowers <3 I love the blueberry colors. You think they'll stack more?
Of course sorry dumb question.Hi Bill!

I mixed 4 kinds of pot together and wow it hit me.
Funny story to tell you.
Stay safe mucker.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.
I think this one is nearing the end. I could let it go and stack a bit more (smarter move), but I'm tired of buying and I'll have two more bigger plant harvests ahead. By far the frostiest most beautiful plant I've grown yet. I think her bigger sister is going to be a much bigger version of her, as she's showing much similar colors and starting to put some nice frost on. I found myself spending 10-15 minutes just staring in disbelief earlier tonight in all honesty. It was a nice break
No such thing brother. And kind words and time taken is always appreciated

I’ve finally caught up, looking good in here. The blueberry looks like it would make some tasty rosin

Thank you, both bb x nl are showing the bb side of their parentage nicely.
The smallest.....
Well....
She's partially chopped and bagged

Awsome mate. Congratulations!! That is one beast of a plant. That stem!!!! Jebus krypes. It's like an oak tree..Thank you, both bb x nl are showing the bb side of their parentage nicely.

Have you got any guestimates on final weigh in?

Thanks Squiggle!
Hmm based on a rough paper bag count (28g~29g) per bag, with an average return between ~20% to ~25% of wet to dry....
Somewhere ballpark of between 100- 150g dry? I haven't finished trimming yet. Partially because I want to let the lowers get some more light, and Partially cause I'm just too sore lol.
She's also the smallest in the tent.
Sweet frosty harvest Rex!

I’m just making my way around and just popping by to see what’s been going down on 420.
Way to go on the harvest brother I know it’s been a long rd.
Now you can stop donating to the government coffers and start donating to pockets lol. The government gets enough of our money.
Looking good my friend and don’t do yourself in trimming them beasts. It’s a marathon not a race and if it gets real bad come grab my trimmer
Play safe and enjoy everyone

Thanks SO, it's going to be nice to finally try the low and slow method I keep reading about!
Thanks KC- oh I can't wait to be back smoking my own. I'll get around to finishing trimming and bagging the plant in a day or two. I tossed her back in tent for now lol.Hey brother I hope all is good.
