Sour Diesel (Part 1 of 2)

Week 8 - Nutrient regimen: 1.5 ml Armor Si + 2.0 ml CalMag + 6 ml FloraMicro + 9 ml FloraBloom + 2.0 ml RapidStart + 1 ml Floralicious Plus. Solution ph'd to 5.8. 10/24/2019 (V50) - Opted against using the traditional 90 degree bending technique of supercropping since it would promote more bud sites, and chose to do the twisting/cracking technique shown here https://youtu.be/XdfW2p-lHN0?t=1159 on each stem of both plants. Hopefully, this will result in the bulbous supercropping knot reportedly allowing more nutrients flowing to the bud sites, and add more structural support to growing hefty buds in the future. However, might have totally fucked this up because didn't hear any snapping even though stems were twisted seemingly to the point of breaking. Going to repeat this procedure again soon and inspect stem sites for the desired knotting. Going to use the scrog netting as more of a trellis support for the buds instead of its traditional scrog use of promoting lateral growth, and for even spacing between stems. Would prefer to have 12 big donkey dick buds per plant compared to the many but smaller buds resulting from conventional scrogging. 12/12 flip is coming in next few days. Current canopy coverage maybe 65% now and only waiting for the recently topped forgotten stem to catch up with the others. Moved culinary herbs from tent to window spot, and also moved circulation fan beneath netting, pointed slightly upwards towards the canopy. Somehow changing fan location reduced tent temperature. Tent climate: 77F and 52% humidity. 10/27/2018 (V53) - Dosed with Recharge yesterday (1 tsp/gallon). Raised lights few inches up for better spread and to decrease the light intensity which may be causing the taco-ing. Also, turned on second circulation fan, angled it slightly upwards across the canopy. Both fans on low position. Yesterday, also repeated the supercropping/twisting technique a second time. For this, a firm twist was applied to the middle spot between nodes on all stems. Each stem had 2-3 spots between nodes twisted in alternating directions. Still might be too early to see the desired effect, i.e. knot/knuckle formation, but will repeat this procedure again tomorrow, ideally at same supercropping location. Drooping is occurring few hours before lights out, perhaps caused by overwatering, but, suspect this may be cyclical (diurnal?) pattern. Hard to overwater in coco, right? Changed light cycle to 18/6. Perhaps adding couple hours sleep will cause less drooping? Tent temperature averaged around 84F in preceding weeks and now has dropped few degrees. Still unsure what cause is, but in prior growths, mid-80s temp only reached when lights were running at max, however, intensity is currently probably below 75% max. Turning off circulation fans only raised temperature 2 degrees over an hour. Seemingly only difference that would account for decrease in temps over last few days was removal of the culinary herbs from below the canopy. Tent climate: 80F and 52% humidity. 10/29/2019 (V55) - Last day of vegetation! Performed major trimming ensuring all growth now directed at top few nodes only. Also, spaced out stems to their own squares with some breathing room. Six main stems on each plant with 2 bud sites per stem, hopefully, especially after the combined LST, supercrop twisting, armor si doses, and 2 oscillation fans, each secondary stem can support a healthy size bud. Will consider this a failure if any topple over. Going to continue the internode twisting tomorrow and next couple weeks, can see and feel minor bumps in previously twisted locations. Light intensity increased slightly to 70000 lux. Light cycle changing to 12.5 hours light/11.5 hours dark. So excited for flower! Tent climate: 79F and 55% humidity.
