Killer Kush & Sweet Special FV

PART I I’m still really happy with how things are going as the abundance of bud and sweet sweet aroma greats me when I open my tent. It looks like the swelling on the calyxes is now slowing down, so I don’t think they’ll gain much more weight, but the trichs are still maturing producing that sticky icky resin. I’m also getting a fair amount of paling and those lovely autumnal colours showing as the soak up the last of the available food :) Speaking of which, next feed (due tonight) I’ll start the flush phase (just plain old tap water) until harvest. I was going to split the feed as the SS’s are a little bit behind, but not by much as the trichs are now mostly cloudy so an extra feed or two of water won’t do any harm. The trichs on the KK’s are continuing to turn amber so I reckon they’ll be ready to chop within the next week or so and they’re not going to be far off the claimed 7 weeks flowering time, exciting times. As for last feed, they got their final taste of NPK a couple of days ago, which was… 2ml per litre Plant Magic Oldtimers Bloom 1ml per litre Plant Magic Oldtimers PK 4-8 And temps are still OK at… Lights On: 27-28C / 35-37% RH Lights Off: 19-21C / 51-54% RH I’ve also gotta hold my hands up and admit I’ve been snipping off the smaller buds here and there. Well when your jars are dry and you’ve a tent full of (not quite ready) bud, temptation is getting the better of me! I never learn, but I’m pleased to report the taste and stone is getting stronger the closer we get to harvest. PART II We’re now at week 8, the girls are fast approaching harvest and the aroma is getting stronger, a bit of an uplifting sweet fruit, but also dank as hell which I hope is hinting at a couch lock. They’ve had just tap water the last 2 feeds of around 3 litres each and as you can see on the leaves, they’re rapidly paling as they use up the last of the feed :) Trichs on the Killer Kush are showing a little bit more amber, so I’ll probably leave them a couple more days, then get ready for the chop. The Sweet Specials aren’t far behind, they're stupidly frosty and also showing just a hint of amber so although I plan on staggering the harvest, I think it’ll only be a few days apart. I’ve also given the ballast a boost for the final week or so, apparently it gives an extra 10%, which takes it up to 660w so we’ll see. The downside is it has raised my lights on temps a touch, which are now… Lights On: 28-29C / 35-37% RH Lights Off: 19-20C / 49-51% RH
