Wedding Cake trimmed and jarred. 159g total weight. Looking back through my notes from my previous grow under the exact same conditions and environmentals this is a 20%+ increase over my last grow of this strain (132g harvested in July 2021), and puts me over 1g/w in a 2x2 tent, soil grow, under 150w of LED. Successful grow in my book!
Day 50 of flowering in the aero tent. Reservoir pH and EC is dipping pretty rapidly. I'm adding 2 to 2.5 gallons of solution twice per day to keep reservoir temp, pH and PPM in check. I'm repeating week 7 feed chart this week and will likely do the same next week because I think these ladies are still feeding quite heavily and week 8 feed chart calls for a pretty drastic reduction in nutrients. I'm guessing these will go 11 weeks or so. I plan to keep following the week 7 nutrient chart until these have 1 week left before chop. Temp 72f, res temp 67f, RH 40%, pH 6.0
Day 52 flowering in aero tent. Still seeing rapid drop in pH in the reservoir (res drops by .5pH every 12 hours). They're taking up a lot of water, over 2 gallons every 12 hours. Topping off reservoir with nutrient solution that has not been pH adjusted brings res up to ~6.0pH and I just let it drift down from there. I'm starting to see some plumping happening and a little bit of fall fading happening in the Chemdawg plants. I'm thinking we'll get a colorful show in this tent over the next couple of weeks.
pH 6.0, res temp 66f, RH 45%, temp 73f
Soil tent day 10.
Temp 74f, RH 55%
Pictured: full aero garden, lower branch of Fam95 looking glistening, Chemdawg top cola, and soil tent.
Day 57 aero tent. We're getting close. Probably another 2-3 weeks. I'm still facing huge pH drifts in 12hr periods and can't figure out why. PPM raises approximately 150 points in that period and pH drifts down .8-1.0 in the same timeframe. They are still up taking approximately 1.5-2.5g of water in that same timeframe. At this point I'm just adjusting as necessary with fresh nutrient water to bring the pH back in to range. I did move to week 8 nutrient schedule to see if a lower starting PPM would resolve the pH drift I'm facing.
The lowers are just completely triched out. I'm starting to see the Chemdawg plants going purple. Should be a colorful finish!
pH 6.2, temp 74f, res temp 66f, RH 38%
Aero tent day 60. Temp 66f, res temp 65f, pH 6.1, RH 45%.
Soil tent day 18. 1 of the 2 showed sex yesterday. That's the earliest I've had one show (previous grows have shown sex on day 23).
Temp 72f, RH 59%
Jars from soil tent have now been curing for 2 weeks. Starting to smell real nice. I'll wait at least a few more weeks before sampling. Real nice dense nugs in these jars.
Soil tent day 23. Both plants have been showing sex for a couple of days now. I did start training on both and will top each a couple of times in the next few days. Started CaliMagic at 2mL/g with today's watering. Will add nutrients around the same time that I top the plants.
Temp 70f, RH 60%.
I started charting everything and it's been a big help. I'd recommend it to all growers to keep track of your grows.
