Acapulco & Blue Cheese Auto

Day 73, day 40 flower

Bluecheese auto - First feeding with bud booster 0-0-62 this morning, mixed bubbled tap watered with 1.16g/litre at 900ppm 6.4ph. Will see how she takes to this loading of potassium, i plan to give this every other feeding until flush. Trichomes still seem to be clear with some cloudy i think from what i can see with my 30x mag. I have a 60x and 90x but damn is that ever tough to hold still. No amber trichomes just yet which is good as i want to get at least a couple more feeds of bud booster as well as a 7-10 day flush. Read about both sides of flushing last night for over an hour and im starting to really ponder if i should actually flush or not. With that said ive decided i will still flush for BC and AG, and this is based on talking with the green planet rep and seeing their recommended feed charts, both mentioning flush to finish.
2nd level pistils are darkening more now and starting to curl. I will be checking trichomes daily as i want to harvest BC with about 25% amber.

Nice pics 780! Frosty AF and some solid looking colas.
Thanks mrS! She is frosty indeed and im quite happy how its turning out, leaves are all still green and healthy with very minimal deficiencies! Ive learned how important is it to have an even canopy throughout the grow, amongst a million other things. Im looking forward to chopping her down and trimming but the excitement will be short lived as the first chop will probably be just the main cola
 
Acapulco gold leaves really starting to curl. Light has been at 22" for a couple days from 19". Still light too close or could it be something else? Curl is getting worse, almost touching itself...........:laugh:.... spreading further down.

Edit: Looking like its fan leaves, sugar leaves are not curled from what i can see

Temp 24c
Humidity 40%
41k lux
22" top cola
26" to other colas

Too much Heat or light causes the tacoing. Your temps look good so I would raise the lights a little more. It’s suspect because I run COB’s at 14-18 inches. I would think you would be ok at that distance. Do you think you are getting a spike in temps that you don’t realize?

No spikes in temperature, reading 24.9c for max
 
Sometimes if a fan is blowing directly on the top of the plant the heat gets mixed in and will also cause the curl you see, moreso if your RH is low but yours seems OK. If the fan is in fact blowing on them just move it up higher.
Ill raise oscillating fan to blow above canopy and not at it, will also raise light slightly.

I was told this could also be a mites issue? Sure hope not!

I noticed you said 40% rh is "OK", isnt this the humidity you wanna keep it at during flower?

I got a tiny dehumidifer in there to keep it at that otherwise if higher is okay i can remove from tent.
 
Day 74, day 41 flower

Acapulco gold - first feed with bud booster with water only at 930ppm 6.4ph. Trichomes looking half cloudy half clear??? I dont have a good eye for this....comments welcome and encouraged!

I want to go at least a couple more weeks! However want and need is very different.... Aiming for 10% ambers on this one since shes a sativa, BC will get 25% amber. Will be checking trichomes daily. Not sure if my schedule will work with a flush at the end but we will see
 
Day 75, day 42 flower

Fed with week 6 nutes at 980ppm. 2nd level buds fattening up. Leaves are all green and healthy as well. Still seeing decent amount of clear trichomes.
I usually dont measure runoff but curious to what it was at...read over 2300ppm...could be my catch tray not cleaned properly and dry residue nutes were present. I will continue to measure runoff but with a clean tray so i can see how much ppm drops when i start flushing.

Day 78, day 45 flower

Bluecheese auto -
Today is the first day of our 10 day 'flush' with ph only tap water. Through the next week i believe we will see lots of leaves yellowing and dying off as the plant starts eating itself as we cut off her food supply. She about to go from a real nice looking plant to a not so pretty looking plant.

why would you voluntarily do this?
 
I know flushing has become more of a stoners myth but for my own personal preference, whether or not it assists with anything besides 'killing' off a plant, i will continue to flush.... :nervous-guy:

IMO, doing it your way is important. I must confess, however, the only thing I flush around here is the toilet (when I remember to do that)! :Rasta:

You and many people....trust me when i say i read hours upon hours on whether to flush or not....i wish there wasnt so much science on benefits of NOT flushing....obviously this is for a reason, because it probably doesnt do anything positive for the plant....i really didnt want to flush after reading everything but peace of mind for myself and myself only is the reason for flushing
