Week 7 bloom cycle begins now.
The smell is very strong, I love it. They are so sticky!
I lowered the solution temp another degree or so for the ripening process to 65-66F. I can see some purples developing on the Apples and Bananas, but the camera on my phone doesn't pick it up very well. Everything was normal last week and no adjustments to pH was nessesary staying at 5.6-5.8 the whole time. I did the normal add-back every two days this time averaging only three gallons versus four. Seems like they are not drinking as much.
Pulled nute levels down to 780.
In about two weeks I'll start inspecting for the milky white goodness on the Chem cookies. I'm going to harvest before too much amber develops. Hopefully no more than 10%. I don't want ChemCookies to have too much couch lock.
As for Apples and Bananas, I'll let her flower for 10 to 11 weeks.
I have an extra bucket, so when the Chem Cookies needs her nute flush two weeks before the A&B, I'll toss the whole plant lid and all into that bucket with just an airstone and pure RO water + UCRoots.
