📆 Week 8 - Day 56 - Day 18 Flower Current Conditions: PPFD: 740 (SANlight EVO 4-120 70%) VPD: 1.1-1.2 (Offset -1 degrees C) DLI: 32 Hey Growmies 👋 Another week passed and the ladies are in the 3rd week of flower. There was a significant vertical growth within the last week 😁💪 First clear flower formations are visible and there is already some frost showing up on Tea Time! Chopped and dropped the remaining cover crops and mulched it into the top layer so the soil biology can break it down over the next weeks. Did a defoliation early this week to increase the airflow between the single branches and unfortunately discovered something not so nice on Tea Time. Noticed some male pollen sacs. Most are located in the lower area on the fresh smaller branches. So I’ve decided to remove all small branches in the affected areas. Will keep her under daily observation and check if anymore will show up. Over the last days everything was looking good, but if there are more popping up need to remove her from the tent. Also had some pollen sac on my last Tea Time and she turned out great. However still a big risk to keep a plant like this around, but let’s see how she will develop over the next weeks. Supercropped one of the big side branches of Strawberry Lobster to avoid she’s getting to close to the LED. Planning to give them some flower compost tea by next week to give some extra boost for upcoming full bloom phase. Also scheduled another defoliation and lollipopping on day 21 of flower. Made some modifications to the refilling system of my irrigation system. Installed another 47 liter Autopot tank which is supplying now the main tank and keeping the gravity pressure at the same level. This ensures to keep a constant pressure to the Blumat system. Uploaded also a video if you’re interested✌️ Everything else looks great and we’re cruising into the full bloom phase 🤩 That’s all for today’s update. Have a good one and enjoy your Sunday ✌️💚
