878ppm 1.8 EC & pH 5.93 to 20% runoff for the second gallon split between plant B and C.

I still had to add 20% more fresh water than called for, to dilute the recommended mixture to the target ppm and ec. even tho I followed the mixture directions perfectly (for the first time ever - I thought)
There's still something amiss.
Runoff was
629 6.18 and
726 6.04

Then I decided to share the good food with #1 as well, 907 1.8 5.96 to 20% runoff, again with 20% more fresh to hit dilution.
Maybe this is why the guys at the grow shop said not to go full strength. Because they knew it would be too hot. Hey I bet it would work in RO water.

How much longer you gonna wait to harvest.

No more clear (new) trichs is the benchmark. 10% amber usually guarantees thc production has stopped.

I'm away for almost three days this weekend so I'm watching trich development very closely in case I have to harvest something before I leave tomorrow morning.
These plants are quite small so I don't see the point in harvesting each plant in stages.

After a minor wet trim, (lets be honest, most of what would get trimmed has already been killed by my learning curve - lol)
I'll likely hang each plant, nearly whole, in a cardboard box.

I was gonna try to hang it all in the grow box but now I have a solo cup growing that is going to continue to need the light.

SOLO CUP CHALLENGE

Captain Brown Thumb checking in. She's s little but she's s green again and has two tops. I thought I killed her.

Just wanna make a quick post in my journal about my SOLO cup. Yesterday, still in WK1 of flower I defoliated and LSTed. Have been feeding 6-700 ppm about every 24 hours and today she got 1 drop of ProCal (approx equiv 0.5ml / L) because the leaves look a bit dull and I'm noticing a bit of brown/tan color in the center of just a couple of the mid level fan leaves.

Gonna chop or dep tonight.
I've asked for input but I'm building a cardboard box now.

How2 lite dep b4 chop?

Got 3 cheese autos in a cabinet. Plant A. is more than 10% amber, B. is just beginning to show amber and C. is under 5% Thinking about putting a cardboard box over 1 to light dep but then there is no airflow. Should I bother to dep or just chop and box? For more detail, you can follow the link...

This is fucked. Today is Day 1 Week 10 of flower.
Just let that sink in. These autos are supposed to be 7-8 weeks / 50 - 60 days flowering. Did I cause them to go longer?

I'm confused by what looks like new growth coming from inside the flowers. Are they seeding?

Took a top off the tallest of the 3 autos at a whopping 18" above ground. Lol
I have been watching the trichs turn amber with a 30x / 60x loupe and trying to take pics with my cell through the loupe. That's a juggling act.

I'd estimate 20% amber but there are a few new bracts growing out of the center.

20200814_212440.jpg
And these are the other two plants with 5% and less. The one on the left (top bud) looks like a different strain and has huge new bracts. ( at least i think they're called bracts)

Hey b_the_s
That looks like foxtailing to me. what's the temps like and are the lights too close?
Sometimes those factor in causing foxtailing. I grow with cmh (used mh and hps before) and i seen foxtailing when i first started using cmh, didn't know the right distance to set them at. I would harvest as that could go on for a while.

Too hot. Temps have been 27 - 30 for the past week. I've been using a fan and ice packs in the storage room because all the a/c units in my area are sold out.

Yesterday we got choppy. Took down the rest of A (already took the top) and all of C.

Plant A

Total wet weight of buds on stems : 180g
Appears like the tap root was restricted by the fabric of the peat pellet but the roots were also underdeveloped because I watered to runoff from the first day we put them into pots (overwatered) AND then underfed them for 80% of their life cycles.
