The start of week 6 has begun, I took the lower main fans and one more set from the top.

Fertigation as follows
In@ 1.1ec/5.8ph out @ 1.0ec/5.9ph
It was 3 days between fertigation and they were showing signs of thirst.

Just some pics, looking a little down this week not sure why feeding has stayed the same, I recalibrated my pen a little to rule out ph issues , I’m sure it’s nothing to concerning but will monitor over the next couple days .

Final update of week 6, they are at 42 days from seed.
Looking pretty good, there has been some slight clawing but it seems to have cleared itself up. Beginning to see more signs of flowering , they are pushing pistils out now and don’t seem to have really stretched, hoping to have some stretch as they are quite stout.
Fertigation every other day consists of 5ml strive part A , 2.5 ml of strive part B diluted to 1.0 ec and ph’d down to 5.8 I then fertigate to 20% runoff which has come out comparable to the inflow.

Not much going on, they are definitely in flower now didn’t really have any stretch to speak of , I was hoping these were going to get a bit bigger having both parental donors being of the larger variety from what I could tell. No matter as long as the smoke is good it will have been worth it.

Fertigation every other day this week and may need to go up to daily as they are going through much quicker now , here are the numbers from the last fertigation

Plant 1 - in@ 5.8ph/1.0ec Out @ 6.0ph/.9ec
Plant 2 - in@ 5.8ph/1.0ec Out @ 6.0ph/.9ec

They had a slight claw last week on some random leaves this has cleared it self up and has generally ceased appearing.

End of week 7
Plants are cruising along , I have switched to a 20/4 light schedule, they were looking a little droopy for the last 3 hours before lights out so i lowered the intensity a touch.

Fertigation as follows
P1 in@ 5.7ph/1.2ec out@ 6.0ph/1.0ec
P1 in@ 5.7ph/1.2ec out@ 6.0ph/1.0ec

Here are some pics from the beginning of week 8.

Still looking good, starting to add pistils daily, fertigation is daily In the late evening which is about lunchtime for these plats as my 4 hrs of dark is from 10am to 2pm

Last event was as follows
5.8ph/1.2ec in > 6.0ph/1.0ec out

I let the resivior that I take my fertigation from drift upto 6.0ph before I adjust it down its a 2 gallon bucket and lasts about 3 days.

Plant 1 is now 16” tall and plant 2 is 13” tall , they have been stretching a little as the buds set, I don’t believe it will continue much longer.

There is minimal smell I would say on the stem rub they are similar but plant 1 is a bit more fragrant. No trichs yet except on the single indicator bracts at the armpits of the leaves

Some more shots from week 8
Both are cruising along plant one has stretched to 15” and plant 2 is now 18” so they had a little stretch left In them from what I originally thought.

Fertigation solution was increased a little, I am using Strive Nutrients which is a 2 Part made here in Canada Part A is potassium and phosphorus as well as most of the other micronutrients Part B is nitrogen and calcium. I am currently using 5.5ml of A and 2 ml of B which I mix with 2 gallons of tap water and Ph down to 5.8~6.0 which comes out to 1.4ec.

Here are the numbers from the last event
IN @ 5.9ph/1.4ec OUT @ 6.2ph/1.4ec

I am happy with these numbers thus far no real signs of anything concerning plants seem to be liking the environment.
