Grow notes for the week - She is doing very well, she is healthy, no deficiencies, no pests, very hearty and vigorous. I’m not used to being so close to manufacturers recommendations on dosage but with this one I’m right there. This product line does require Cal Mag, they state you don’t but when I stop using it I start to see the signs quickly on the leaves, the dosage is extremely low so it will continue.
She is also very smelly and sticky, when the stalks are rubbed the smell reminds me of Douglas Fir trees and lemons. I’m starting to notice some frosting coming in and this is also adding to the smell. She is growing about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch daily, humidity is starting to rise so I have had to run the dehu at a setting of 40%, the RH sweep is from 40% to 52%. Light is running at 323w (508w possible) with temps in the low 80’s.
@Arborfarms Looks unbelievable man!!!..very nice job!!. I’m anxious to get my 550 V2 R spec!! I’m doing RDWC first time. I’ll tag you into my journal. I’m just over 2 weeks since flip. Damn keep it up!!
Grow notes for the week - Well now the fun starts, week 3 of flower is really when I start to see drastic changes. She has moved through transition and is now starting to show flowering buds, exciting times are ahead. She is a very sticky girl, resin production is high and she smells like the Oregon forest with citrus trees in bloom. I am on top of defoliation and will be leaving the large fan leaves on the top of each kola, just trimming the fan leaves my scissors get stuck all the time and that’s a good problem. Dehu is set to 40% to maintain a RH range of 40-55% for flower, and the light is at 325 watts. Flushing during the week has gone from a 3 gallon flush to 5 gallons in order to get the runoff ppm where I like it. Next week I will be reducing parts A&B by 1ml and increasing Flowering Enhancer and Resin XS by 1ml. Total ppm is right at 1250 and that is a good total for her, I have never seen any tip burn or deficiency so far and as of now the results have been great and I don’t see pushing in more nutes for little to no increase in gains. She is extremely healthy and vigorous, ILGM certainly has some damn good genetics!
Grow notes for the week - Frost is coming, resin production is in full swing. No pests, no deficiencies, just an awesome grow so far. Doing minor defoliation to keep humidity in check.
Grow notes for the week - I’m at a dosage ppm that I think is sufficient for this girl. I have not seen any toxicity nor a deficiency and I don’t see a reason to push it. I did pick up some Terpenez from my local grow store and I did contemplate using it until I opened it up. That stuff smells like pinesol and I do not want to take away from the natural taste profile. No terpene additives for me, to use it would be the same mentality as it is to flush for the last two weeks or so and that isn’t happening either. For now my schedule remains the same as it has been since week one of flower and will continue till the dark period. Trichome’s are about 30% cloudy
Grow notes for the week - Week is going smooth and she’s moving along like she has all grow…flawless. Trichomes are forming rapidly and looks to be on schedule, ILGM has this strain at 56 days or 8 weeks but I suspect she might go longer (almost every strain I have grown has). I have removed silicate from the dosage as it is no longer needed at this point, I have also reduced the RH% to 45% for this stage of flower.
Grow Technique - ScroG Grow notes for the week - Last two weeks we have had a little hot spell and it is keeping the temps up at night, a bit bummed because I run my lights at night and they are off during the day. With day temps up the tent stays at 78f, wish it was cooler but it is what it is. I looked at the trichs and they are all clear, so it looks as if she will go past eight weeks and into nine for sure. Getting excited and planning the next step.
Do you listen to Rasta Jeff at all? He did a show where he was talking about putting her back into a 18/6 after observing a 48 hour dark period for two days and then chop her down. Pretty cool theory when you think about it.
