Hello all and thanks for stoppin by. I was wondering....I recently cut 3 plants of mine that were done....or so I thought. I have a 30x Microscope to check the trichomes and flushed for a week and all the other normal harvesting steps. Trimmed and they're hanging now. So here's my Question.......
When the 3 ploants were in the flowering room they were nice and thick to the slight squeeze. Now after hanging for 3 days now, they feel light and fluffy. Why would this be? Is it because of all the water loss while drying? And just feels alot thicker when growing because of the water being supplied to them? I'm not in anyway disappointed for I'll learn from the experience, but would like to thicken them up some more....who wouldnt right.
MY SETUP
Florescents for Vegging
Clones in soil veg for 3 weeks
around 1 foot tall when flowered
600 watt digital HPS
6" Eco 440cfm Cooling and another exhausting
NO CO2....Could this be it? I'll be adding this in the next few months
FOX FARM NUTES
Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, Beastie Bloom, Open Sesame, ChaChing
Soil
1/2 PROMIX
1/4 Fine Perlite
1/4 Big Chunk Perlite
1 CUP D.Lime (per Cu. Ft.)
1 Cup Peace Of Mind Rock Phosphate (per Cu.Ft.)
1 Cup Peace of Mind Fruit and Flower (per Cu.Ft.)
Watering/feeding
Water with rain water tested at 14 PPM and 6.4 PH
Once a week I feed them.
Fed HALF strength Nutes for first 2 feedings then bumped up to full strength.
MAX PPM FED WAS 1350. Flushed for a week.
Any thoughts? Maybe they just hadnt had time to thicken the whole way, I cut them because the Trichomes were around 60% amber. Thanks for stoppin....
