Jonno's Dream

JonnoSA Unfortunately I was not able to save the photos of the germination and the first two weeks or so of growth. I broke my old phone and got a new one and didn't bother to do a backup😑 I achieved a 100% germination. Hence there is 6 plants in this little 2x4 tent. I normally run 4 plants at a time in the tent, not expecting all 6 to pop. But hey let's see what happens🙂 Just before the photos I transplant them from their solo cup into 20lt pot. I pre mixed my Coco with Greenhouse feeding bio grow and a had full or two of worm castings. And started watering at a pH of 5,8 to 6,0. Let the slow release begin 💪💪

JonnoSA The plants just cruzed this week.. looks like they are loving the organics👌 gave them some water when the surface dried out and that was basically it.

JonnoSA Great week of veg growth for most plants. The blue dream on the bottom right and the tangerine top right boosted up this week. The top middle Tangerine dream is starting to show slight signs of potassium deficiency. I top dressed it with some kelp meal for a bit of K and also boost my microbial life💪 I can't get hold of bio enhancer in my home town in South Africa so I will have to make my own version next week. Oh and I topped the big blue dream and range dream.

JonnoSA Ok so I decided to make a tea to make up for the fact I cannot get bio enhancer for a booster. I decided to make something very similar but with a slight twist. I'm going to give the plants the tea at the end of the week. It's a pretty basic tea, im holding back the nutes. My plants are still getting their main source of macronutrients from the bio grow. So let's boost the micro's👌 its pretty much a hand full or two worm castings, some dried kelp meal, small amount of liquid kelp, humic acid, molasses and some ground up charcole 😉 put it that in pourous bag and let it bubble away.

JonnoSA Just let the plants Cruze this week. Some training and defoliation was done to some of the plants.

JonnoSA Flicked the switch and put these baby's into flower. Did some serious defoliation along with some pinching and bending, followed this by adding the scrog net. I also top dressed the lady's with some biobloom and worm castings👌

JonnoSA Haven't done much this week. The slow release nutrients are doing their thing. Basically watering when needed and removing the odd unwanted leave. At the end of the week I will give them their last feeding before I harvest.

JonnoSA All's currently going well in the tent. Plants are looking very happy, even with the loadshedding ( government turns power off for 2-8hs a day). Let hope they turn the lights back on soon.. If gave the plants the last top dressing of bio-bloom 1ml per Liter of soil. It's starting to get a bit bushy in the tent. I'm pretty much removing any foliage that's is not getting decent light. As it just going to produce poor quality bud at the end. Overall I'm very stoked with the week. It's just maintenance from now on. I must say the bio grow makes life easy👌

JonnoSA What can I say, this week is going great. The plants are growing flat taps. The heads are slowly but surely fattening up and it starting to get smelly. The liberty haze in particular is a smell queen🤩 it has this insane bubblegum/fruity smell to it.. let's just say I'm starting to fall in love 😍 the tangerine dream on the bottom left is just growing like a absolutely machine and has a nice citrus smell coming through. And its growth has no signs of slowing down any time soon. Looks like it's going to hit the roof if it doesn't slow down🤣The stocky little blue dream #2 is starting to pack on some serious bud size for its age.. the plants not a fan of vertical growth but it looks like it will make up with bud size and structure 👌 Everything has been super mellow, I'm watering at the same PH the only thing added was some humic acid and fish emulsion for a bit of a booster. But otherwise letting them do their thing🤙

JonnoSA The plants are happy and on cruze control. Apart from daily defoliation I'm just letting them do their thing. No nutrients or boosters have been added this week🤙 Ok and still contending with bladdy LOAD SHEDDING !!!!!! 2-4 hours of electricity turned off by Eskom NATION WIDE!!! I'm currently sitting in the pitch dark tying this🤙 Google it.. totally sucks

JonnoSA Loads shearing is still on going. 2-4 hour of no elec!! Not ideal to say the least. All things considered the plants are doing fantastic. They are starting to put on some size. The smell coming from the tent it's crazy😍

JonnoSA Plants are in week 7. The one frosty tangerine dream looks like it will be harvested next week. And possibly the one blue dream. I'm keeping an eye on them to see what happens. It appears my soil my be to hot for the early flowering plants. I based my nutrient dosage on 9 to 10 weeks. However these plant look like they might need the chop earlier. So unfortunately I'm not going to see them fade and show some crazy colours. I'm going to attempt to flush them exclusively with phd water over a day or two to see if that will help. But I'm unsure. But none the less the plants are looking great. They are all happy and putting on some mass. One Blue dream started showing signs of burnt tips on it leaves. I'm not to sure why as I haven't added nutrients in since week 4. It doesn't seem to be affecting the plant and its growth so I'm no to worried.

JonnoSA Ok Soo it's week 8. Tangerine dream #2 is coming down. Blue dream #2 is very close. Ther rest of the plants need another week or two. The trichomes are still clear. No signs of amber just yet. I'm convinced the burnt tips and now curling leaves on the blue dream#1 is due to light stress. I dropped the lights down two weeks earlier and it seems this pheno is not to happy about it. The rest of the plants seem to be in great health. The tangerine dream#1 is starting to show sign of yellowing Wich is fantastic timing. The others not so much. I will say its the only negative with this line of nutrients. They are very easy to use however different plants take up nutes at different rates. So it makes it tricky to dose each plant individual perfectly. I will up load photos when I take down the plants and again later when I have them dried and on the scales. I'm super stoked with the grow so far. Not much to complain about. It was not easy with all the power outages. But the crop looks fantastic all things considered 🤙🤙
