Dinafem First Grow: Blue Critical

[Dinafem-Mark]

Day 55, had some nutrient burn issues. Probably due do how I was watering, didn't water to run off cause I'm lazy hah. Watering to run off now, and shes loving it.

She's responded very well to the light defoliation and throwing out some very nice size buds/flowers

You should atleast once a week have a run off ideally every watering to avoid nutrient build up and lock out. Once you get in the routine you'll have it down mate

So far looking in tip top shape with harvest time approaching just around the corner. Really nice work mate

All the best

Cheers Mark, watering to run off every water now & will be doing so next grow. Will be getting a bigger tray next grow for run off too.

Day 60, nutrient levels have been lowered to the finishing levels. Aiming at around 75 days for the chop, so I'll probably start the flushing at day 68-70.

Shes frosty, lots of half cloudy and a few glassy trichs. Zero ambers yet.

Cheers Archie, glad I didn’t go with 2x 12L plants in this tent must be those big bud genetics.

Very tempted to run her again with what I’ve learned this run & try some LST / other training. Then try another strain. Really nice aroma off the buds.

Day 70, feeding just ph'd water @ 5.8 now from yesterday. Day 74 chop probably.

Just going of the pictures I would feed water for the next 6 days taking you to day 80 then it's time to get those scissors out and your fingers sticky

You can see she still has a lot of energy stored up in those big shade leaves as I'm not seeing to much yellowing so that's why I think 6 more days to give the plant more time to get that excess energy used up which will help give a nice clean end product

You've done a fine job my friend and harvest is approaching fast

Great update as usual and I'll drop back in on the next update to check progress out where is suspect harvest will be here

All the best

Appreciate the advice, will give her some more time. Good point, lots of nutes stored in the lower 1/3 leaves. Was thinking of leaving her in the dark for 72h prior to chop, so day 77 I think I'll cut the lights & water. Could always go 80+3 if needed.

Was going to cut the lights in a few hours, haha, glad I checked in.

What lighting are you on at the moment mate 20/4?

I like to knock 1hour off every other days 14 days prior to harvest By harvest time I've reduced my lights on hours by 7-10 hours off putting my lights at 13/11-10/14 (on/off)

I've found that extra bit of darkness as harvest approaches increases trichome production with my final 2 days or 48 hours in total darkness

Interesting Mark, thanks again, smart idea to transition. She’s on 20/4 at the moment, lost a hour of darkness one day due to daylight savings & me readjusting while baked, but yeah 20/4.

Think I’ll give that ago but from day 72-77 -2h a day, then 72h darkness. So she’ll be at 12-12 before lights out.
