Day 34 Of Flowering
Getting Close!
So we had/have a little scare, all of a sudden a calmag def popped up almost overnight it seemed. We were a little lost as to what to do and since it is our first time growing we called on some advice from Dr Greenthumb. Klyde called him up and asked about it because we figured he would know his plants better than anyone. He always seems so grumpy but he did actually seem like he wanted to help. He told us our PH was too high and that we needed to lower it to 5.7 and to go in right before the lights turned on and lightly spray them with 2 teas calmag to 1 Gallon of water. I think we have stopped it from spreading any further, hopefully, but I guess we just have to wait now. Greenthumb made it sound like we killed them and that we need to hope and pray they don't die! I think that was a bit extreme because they aren't stunted and are still producing more trichomes everyday.
I cut 3 more clones, each time I have taken clones they are of different sizes, this way I can learn which is the best way. This time I took the largest I could which included the top portion of Mommie, which effectively topped her as well. They are actually looking better than I expected it does seem that the larger you take them the better they stand up(at least that is what I am getting right now). We also followed a different method of caring for Mommie. 3 days before we cut her she got nothing but RO water so there was no nutrients in her in order to build up carbs.
Klyde says that the plants in the flowering room are only needing to be fed and watered every 2 days and we are starting to look more towards harvest time. He has also been researching ways to hasten harvest time. We know we are going to end up losing a little yield but we are under a time crunch right now. We understand it is experimental but lowering the day light time gradually down to ten hours is the only option we have at this point. I have been checking the trichomes everyday and I found 1 amber headed trich, I'm sure there are more but they are no where near ready. We wont be cutting them at 8 weeks instead we will be cutting the Top Colas on May 8th and the bottom guys on May 12th, which will be Day 49 and Day 53 . Keep in mind that Dr Greenthumb said this strain is supposed to finish around 42-45 days. They are extremely fragrant now and Klyde has the exhaust fan turned all the way up.
Cross your fingers for us and hope for ripe buds!
Included are pictures as of today!
First I am glad that after that weekend the thread wasn't crazy to catch up with, but I am left wanting

(I took them this time, and they aren't quite as good as with Bonnie's newer camera)
