Impressions about plant
Ok, so it seems I can only put 13 weeks into this journal, even though I need 16 weeks to reach harvest. so i'm going to merge Weeks 12 and 13.
12.20.22 - Saw white mold spores on some leaves of my purple haze in tent 1 (with Gold leaf). Sprayed a little apple cider vinegar and pulled a few leaves that were too far gone. Will spray more this evening so that it doesn't get burned under the light.
Crazy, because my RH is popping between 45-55% depending on the time of day. It's clearly a airflow issue.
12.21.22 - After spraying some leaves and spot wiping others, I also adjusted the fan position to be under the grow light. i think that was obstructing that side of the purple haze that had white powder.
I added 1/2 of the Bud fertilizer to my full dose of Flower fertilizer.
I am surprised at the variation of purple haze plants in 2 tents. The 1 with Gold leaf is very short and the flower phase seems to be at least a full week behind White Widow. But the purple haze with White Widow tent, that PH has gotten TALLER than the White Widow. it's insane. And those flowers are still at least a full week behind White Widow.
My guess is the white powdery milder in PH with Gold Leaf was slowing down the growth so the plant could fight the disease. thankfully, even though they're in the same tent, Goldie has no signs of WPM. many thanks for a strong strain, ILGM.
But overall, they're ALL doing amazing. White Widow's Cholas are really looking beautiful and photo-perfect. I can't stop taking pictures of them now. Nearing Week 5 of flower. Only a few weeks more and we'll be harvesting.
Dec. 27, 2022 - I found more WPM on the inner areas of PH with Goldie, but Goldie still looks mold free. I guess the Apple Cider vinegar in a mister didn't do enough. SO, first, I pruned some of the smaller, weaker limbs out that had WPM and bagged them, after dousing them in apple cider vinegar and paper towels. I decided to spray with a 1:4 solution of Hydrogen Peroxide in a Misting machine I own. It's called a Fogmaster Jr. it creates a fine mist of whatever you have in the tank. I opened my tent up and gave it a quick once over about 15 minutes before lights out.
For my own sanity, since we're on the last leg of our trip, I bought 2 cheap tent fans. I'll put one in each lower area of the tents to keep airflow moving better and avoid that nonsense for good.
Dec. 28 - i've noticed a few leaves starting to turn color. This is a sign the plant is cannibalizing its fan leaves to increase flower. Overall, Still Green and frosting up. I'm getting lots of lemon and pine smells when I brush against the plants. Even the White Widow's stink isn't as stinky. It's more complex and enticing. Gold Leaf has a very unique undertone that I'm still trying to work out. Its a warm smell, but not citric. I envision cedar or sandalwood.
I will enter the last week's journal once i harvest. End of January. Till then!
