day 46
temp peaks at 80f and goes down to 76 for 3 hour light off
ec holding at 1.0 res was 76 so i started adding a frozen waterbottle taking it down to 71f. plant looks healthy but i see some spots on mid to lower leaves kind of pale white yellow im usin tap water ar 0.4ec and adding 0.1ec of calmag so i dont think its that
ph atable keeping itself at 5.85.
im not seeing too much thickening but i guess its still early i assume when u see breeder recommendations and it says flower in 8 weeks it means 8 weeks of flower and doesnt include veg time so. i still have aboit a month and a half

cleaned buckets after 2 weeks
i added 3 gallons of water. then 20ml of ph up and 15ml of ph down. Water buffered to ph 5.84. the ec of my tap at this point was 0.6. i added 0.1ec of calmag, then 0.6ec of maxibloom. total ec 1.3. added 1/8tsp of pondzyne 1.5tsp of mykos wp and 6ml of hydroguard. kept a bag of ice in until temp was 71 then added my 2 waterbottles. stem towRd the top isnt very thick i have a good fan but if i point it right at the plant its all over the place. Light is 12in from the top 20in from the lower. defoliated again looks good i think. Hlg135 watt turned up full power temp in tent sits at 82f all day and then 75f when lights go out for 3 hours

whose still here??
Day 54
im leaving tonight and wont be home until Sunday. she has 2.5 gallons left out of the 3. ph has been stable at 5.85. ec holding at 1.3. i added a little more hydroguard and pondzyme since i wont be here to swap bottles. when i get home sunday shell get a full cleaning. i keep taking leaves off to try and get the lower branches some light. top of plant is 12 inches away lower buds are about 18in.ive bent her a little to the sides to try and get more light as well. let me know what u think.
according to research this plants flowering time is 8 weeks account for 3 weeks of veg i have about 3 weeks to go does that seem right

im thinking next grow start light half power, keep rockwool in tupperwear until root comes out the bottom and use mycos right away

so I'm day 75 im fighting some rot losing some roots as the days progress and im thinking shes done growing she doesnt look like shell pack anymore and most of the teichomes are cloudy. should i chop and dry her?? and then in september when its cooler go for round 2 for the monster??

I’d go ahead and chop it and get the next one goin

ill give it a month befor i go
thatll give me a chance to bleach bucket and rocks make any adjustments i think im going to paint the bucket black and put it inside another bucket for light proofing /thickness. then ill leave the rockwool in the tupperwear once it sprouts until its out the bittom so im not running the rez for a week

Hey bud, only just joined this thread but love what I have seen so far.

I would flush with plain water for a week or two before chopping, in the past it has been tempting to chop at around the 75 mark.

100 day chop is always a nice round number I've found and I never regretted putting in the extra time to flush and cure right.

Play safe,
