Finally took a couple lights off shots of the canopy:
Getting some big 'ol buds for sure, but no density to them, at least not yet. I remember feeling this way at the same stage the last time I ran this strain.
I did fuck up several things at once over the last couple weeks:
No out-take/air exchange (causing co2 buildup during the night period)
Canopy temps in the mid to high 80s
Trying out a watering cycle that pushed em in a vegetative direction.
I solved the first two (for the most part) by installing an old carbon filter/747cfm fan combo pulling the air out and depositing it into my workroom on the other side of the wall. This got canopy temps down to the 70s but occasionally it'll spike to 79 or even 80 still. I hate doing it but I've been turning the ballasts down to 75% when this happens a couple nights a week. These bulbs were cheap bullshit to start with and they're over a year old so it looks like they're putting out more heat while their light output has dropped. I'll get some hortilux 1ks for the next round I suppose.
As for the watering cycle I had bumped em up from 3 to 4 to 6 with the total volume varying based on runoff volume. This was stupid. The timing was piss poor as well because it was right after their peak nutrient consumption when they started wanting less, so I had a growing ec spike in the runoff I was trying to control passively by lowering the ec and increasing the irrigation slightly. Didn't work out so well and I ended up flushing em down to 0.8 ec about five days ago.
Currently feeding at 0.6-0.7 ec and back to 3x/day (approx 4oL/day for all 12, 20%ish runoff) and the runoff is still creeping up a bit, but no signs of burning so that's good I suppose.
I added in mkp @0.5g/gal to the initial ratio but watering the mix down to 0.7ec.
I've ran this strain 9 weeks the past couple rounds but it came out a bit overdone, so this time I'll cut it at 8.5 weeks or so. Kind of confused, honestly as they're throwing layer upon layer of white pistils. I'll keep feeding them for another 3-4 days or so and then probably begin flushing. I reverse engineered the h16 finish (at least by what's written on the bottle) so it looks like I'll be flushing with highly diluted k2so4 (<100ppms).
This strain is a producer for sure but it's straight meat and potatoes, nothing really special. And it throws the occasional baby nanner (3 rounds in a row) so this is my last hurrah with it.
I'm I the process of getting my hands on a few different beans that I find interesting and while I figure them out it looks like I'll just run my purple blue magoo for the next round or two. It doesn't yield all that heavy, but it's straight fire and resilient as fuck and way more stable than this beefy mutant here. I think I'll be able to get its yield up by topping and bending it like crazy from early veg onward. Perhaps I'll post a pic of it in veg if I remember, but here's a lousy shot of it mid-flower a few rounds ago:
It produces relatively small but super dense buds that are basically straight resin. Only ever ran it with botanicare so I'm stoked to see how it does with the jacks.
