Bassman's RDWC - High Defoliation - Master Kush Grow #2

[Bassman59]

Thanks X,

Well today ppm was about 750 or so (1.5 e.c.). I took about 2 gals of nutrient out and added 3 gals RO water back. TDS is now around 600 or 1.2 e.c.

Under a scope today I saw some areas with mostly clear and partly cloudy, and other areas mostly cloudy. Buds are really firm. Nice hard nugs. Super sticky.

So it's winding down and I guess we're on the last 10 days to 2 weeks. Maybe as little as 7 days? Not sure. The scope will tell me when. No pics today. Maybe next time when the scope/camera is charged up.

Update:

Day 56 in Flower, day 64 in 12/12

Girls are looking pretty awesome. Swelling is just getting nuts. The buds with the most pronounced swelling are hard as a rock too! Trichomes on the buds in the best light are full cloudy while the others are about 50/50 cloudy on the outside edges of the light. This indicates to me again that I let them get too tall and close to the max height adjusted hood and they aren't getting full benefit of the 1k watts. 3-4" less height may have put them in the best zone, maybe 6".

As mentioned before I'm weening them off the nutes and ppm is sitting at 500 today. Right at 1.0 e.c. I hope to get it down to sub 250 before harvest. I'm sure I won't get it to near zero.

Best guess is chopping Sun-Weds. But the trichs will tell me for sure. Going for maybe 10-20% amber at most.

Ph is 5.65-5.70 and steady with 1-2 adjustments per week.

Temps been 70-71 at nite, 80-81 lights on.
RH has been 45% lights off, and up to 65% during lights on. I open the tent up wide for a cpl hours when it gets above 61% RH.

Here's some pics. Possibly my best pics so far. The last picture is from 2 feet away and mid section of that large ass cluster in the back. The rest are in the best light zone up front.

Thanks for the kudos folks.

Been offline since yesterdays update. I upgraded my PC motherboard and got a new ivy bridge chip. Running the hot new stuff! Now I've got to get everything configured and download all those damn programs all over again. So I'll be playing with my new toy for a bit.

Enjoy!

Update

Day 59 in Flower. Getting very close!

Girls are really looking great and getting close. But I don't think I'll be chopping Mon-Weds (my days off). The good part is there's still some swelling and hardness increasing daily. Now the hard part is this puts chop day(s) at Xmas eve-day and I have to spend some time with family, cook a prime rib, etc. I was hoping to avoid that. Oh well.

PPM is down to 425 or .85 e.c. and decreasing daily as wanted.
PH is perfect at 5.8 and holding nicely.

No clue what the yield is going to be like. Not going to guess. But the big ass cluster in the back I'm going to guess at over 3oz dry. Notice the pics of that cluster where I put my fist behind the top of the bud for perspective. I have avg to somewhat small hands.

Here's 15 pics to enjoy!
