Sep 30: still not much mass to the flowers and I’m getting skeptical that this plant will finish before the freezing weather.
Oct 3: nice fall colours.
@Mr_Horse, not sure for this ATF. This was the last one to flower when I forced it in late July and it’s further from harvest than the other three (Golosa, 11Roses and Unknown Kush). Likely 4-6 weeks I think which means just barely done before freezing weather starts. Fingers crossed.
@Mr_Horse, thank you. Of these four photoperiods I’m most excited for the Unknown Kush and I’m a bit concerned about whether this ATF will finish in time. It should....
@Zorachus, thanks, yeah I think this one and my three early versions from Delicious seeds should be pretty good. I now know force flowering is worth it this far north (Edmonton) so I’m planning to force these around 1 July so they ripen under strong sunlight. I did two Wonder Pie last year and the forced plant had much better buds. Cheers.
Hei!
It's nice to see that someone else is using KNF "technics". Why don't you make your own liquid calcium as well with eggs and vinegar?
Do you use vinegar to adjust pH or for other purposes?
I'm gonna follow this one!
Good luck!
@GardenOfTheRisingSun, I believe that you can mix them together but I also seem to be overdoing it. LAB allows you to cut back on fertilizers in general. And with autos one might want to cut back further compared to photos.
Fast Buds has a blog entry about using FPJ and FFJ but they don’t talk about LAB at the same time. My plants seem to really like the LAB and the first FPJ I made (I called it dandelion greens but the weed was actually stinkweed or field pennycress) likely helped get through the cold weather by providing P, but I’m also seeing signs of excess P. One mistake I’m making is that I intended to use a super soil grow method and have since switched to LAB. I need to cut way back on the nutes for a while and flush some of the excess nutrients from the soil mix before planting.
It’s possible that LAB is all that’s needed and that is what is suggested on the Paramount seeds website.
The vinegar is part of Korean natural farming methods and helps provide the right pH. Probably a neutral pH is best for the foliar sprays and my source water is basic and needs the vinegar.
So, it’s tricky getting it right the first time but I’m sure it will be great once it gets dialled in. Good luck.
@Legendaryseedthumb, thanks. I find doing the diaries is quite satisfying and useful for later reference. Mostly for learning though still…best hobby in the world.
