Greetings one and all - a salam alaikum - akwaaba

Stinkin! what else can I say. All praises to be the almighty for access to odour filtration.

The ladies are now at day 35 - week 5 - of their bloom phase. I Love It!

Since my last post I haven't given the ladies anything to nurish on. I didn't give then a second flush as anticipated on day 31. The pots have remained quite heavy and the soil moisture meter isn't informing me of much in the way of the requirement of fluid replenishment. I'm not totally alarmed because at some stage throughout the bloom phase I've notice that plants stall on nute take up for a short time, then suddenly start drinking and packing on weight.

I am somewhat concerned that the aren't drinking because of the sighted nute deficiency noted earlier. But bud development has not stopped. If growth, as well as nute take up, stalled then I'd be more concerned. The leaf symptoms have not alarmed me any further because it hasn't worsened since applying a pH'd flush. I think things are going very well in this new environment. One must bare in mind that this lil crop is the first attempt in this space and minimal refinement of operation is still required before I feel 100% total success.

Unfortunately I do not have any magnificaion equipment to monitor trychome development. I do not think my camera zoom will satisfy the situation either.

Today then, the pots still hold a bit of weight and the meter still tells me things are good in the soil. But its been a few days since last watering and I feel a need to start using Overdrive as I can visually see the plants entering that part of their life where they will give a final push and flower heavily.

I will be mixing Overdrive, Sensi Bloom and Carboload. I may add some Potassium Silicate if there is any room on the EC meter.

I shall apply 3-4L per pot and hopefully get run off. It has been stressed to me in the past how important run off is. Run off is a way of leeching the soil of nute build up. Good run off means a good rate of fluid has passed through the soil, hopefully, pulling a lot of excess minerals out of the soil.

I think I'll add a few pics of current development. My photography skills do not do this shyt justice. Time to light some incense.
