Week: 8 - Day: 56
This update was meant to be done yesterday but there was no time to do it, so here is the plants progress from yesterday.
There was no nutrient change out this week as once the switch to Bloom nutrients commences the nutrient solution will be changed out every two weeks.
So that means there was no changes made to any of the Nutrients or Additives this week either.
Again like last week further training has been applied to the adult plant and a fourth Grow Northern HS1 unit has now been hung above the canopy.
All HS1 LED units have a 80x80 diffuser mounted currently while the plant is still stretching but that will change as of next week.
So far so good as Think Big Seems to be really enjoying herself in the 55L Alien Pro DWC single bucket system.
At first glance it seems clear that some sort of Phosphorous deficiency has occurred due to the excessive purple and red that has taken over most of the plants stems.
Hopefully with next weeks nutrient change and by adjusting the base nutrients slightly there should be time to combat this deficiency before any real damage is done.
It also appears that some slight light bleaching has effected some of the fan leaves on this auto-flowering cannabis plant.
This is due to leaving the plant grow as close as possible to the LED to get the most efficiency and production from the light.
The plant finally reached a distance of 23cm away from the lights before any real bleaching was noted.
Minimal stretching has been observed this time round due to the LED units being kept so close to the plant canopy.
Growth has been very strong and vigorous the past few weeks with it now noticeably stagnating as the plant sets into her flowering phase.
Think Big has reached a length of 90cm and a width of 100cm with the plants even canopy now coming in at just over 25cm.
Pre-flowers on the main stem of this plant have now started to mature ever so slightly as she slowly transitions from flower to bud.
Pistils on the main flower have just begun as of yesterday to slightly change in colour from white to amber.
However the rest of the plants growth is now playing catch up as its pre-flowers are still developing and forming in some areas.
The pistils on the side growth are still forming and throwing out some new white shoots of flower every day.
Think Bigs aroma has really developed now as it hits the nostrils with a lovely zing every time the grow tent is opened.
It smells like a Zesty lime x Amnesia Haze, almost citrus like with musky oak undertones.
Here is the plants main stem currently. Its getting quite a size.
