'Dutch Dragon' by Paradise

Howdy all and welcome to Week 3, Bloom w/ Ms. Dutchy (photos taken w/ SF glaring on them. My bad! Adjusted for GDPB and PSK updates). The Deets!: The Good: -Wonderful week with this biiiiig girl. She just gets thicker and thicker as the days roll by. Pumping laterals and new tops like crazy and trying to keep her under control. The stretch went very well and she seems to be tapping out at 24". More then enough room for a several more inches as she bulks up and moves outwards. -Training tyes are allll gone and she holds her form very well. Needed to pull her in a bit with tyes and bamboo, but this girl is firm, thick and ready to put on some weight👌 -Zero issues with the new feeding schedules and little dutchy seems to be more then happy with the change. I feel health and color are in full swing now and these last two weeks have been a treat. Any and all defo is going well and she isn't stressed out at all. She's just happy and that makes me happy😊 -Praying. Every. Day. I love it😉 The Bad: Get outta here....😄 The 'Meh': -She's thick. Thicker then expected. I keep taking shoots and fans but no amount seems to be enough. She is somewhat hard to control and needs extra time and attention from me to keep things in order, lest things get too wild. -Movement is a pain. Edge to edge of the tent and slightly overlapping one another makes for hard rotations and feedings. It is what it is but I see that maybe some slightly smaller girls next go would be more appropriate. I don't want them competing for light and I feel with their current size, that's exactly what they're doing. Doing more 180 degree rotations to allow lower laterals not in direct light, to further develop and flourish. Been adjusting the blurple a bit better to provide a better footprint as well. Ya think I would know what to do by grow three, but it's still a learning curve and I usually need to adjust my tent parameters every 2-3 days. -I notice that my last pot up wasn't perfect and have already planned to make changes for grow #4. I potted up from a 3 gallon to 5 gallon, but it does not leave enough room on the sides to properly fill with soil. At first they are bulbess, and with time I can start to see the soil settle, creating air gaps. This will be changed next grow by either going from solo to 2 gallon, to 5 gallon or! just solo right too 5 gallon. Save myself some time and do these transplants a tad better👌 Notes of the Week: -Flush performed on all girls this week to check out where they're at. Listed below are all the run-off numbers pulled from these flushes. Not putting a lot of weight into these numbers, but the way they came back was nice and constant. They all seem to be in the same place and it's a happy one. -Stretch appears to be at an end as all girls have started to get fuzzy and bulk outwards. I expect a few inches here and there, but it's over and there's still room for some bud growth. -In the feeding schedule portion of these entries I'll be listing the total feed over the week. These numbers were not all in one go and were spread out over three days with a water feed in between. These are all tailored feeds/numbers and don't mirror the GP3 schedule exactly... -Besides defo and some lateral control, these girls are pretty much being left alone to do their thing. I feel they formed well for the most part and there's not much left for me to do then just to feed and let them go to end game. Kind of a paranoid time for me as I'm worried about the dreaded hermies @ week 3/4 of Bloom. I know it's a long shot, but I know this is when it would happen, if at all. Just being extra vigilant right now and going over them everyday with a fine tooth comb. Run-Off's. 2 Gallons run through each girl w/ about 20-25% Run-off: SC: 6.2/6.3pH and 955ppm DD: 6.1/6.2pH and 947ppm GDPB: 6.2/6.3pH and 1028ppm PSK: 6.2pH and 1077ppm **Back too daily feedings w/ nutrients at 1/2 dose over 3 days with water feeds in between** Thank you for reading and for stopping by home boys and home girls. I hope you have a great, safe and happy week with your girls (or boys for breeders!). Much love and take care all. Cheers✊👋
