Northern_Ent May 13: planted in 7 gallon grow bag.
Sodium rich well water messes up the cation ratio and starves plants of Ca, Mg and K. Cal-Mag works but is a super expensive option compared to my “water hardener” which exchanges Na in water for Ca from limestone. The trick is to first spray the limestone with vinegar to release CO2 which leaves exchangeable calcium ready to be swapped with sodium from the water. Checked calcium concentrations using an aquarium test kit (Red Sea) that is quite accurate and all sodium in the well water can easily be exchanged for calcium. Ta-dah. 😎

Northern_Ent Cold overnight this week with five nights at or below zero. Plants were covered and looked okay, but most younger plants have been slow to recover and many have dwarfed. Will see how they turn out, but I know Fast Buds says this is a hot weather plant so I don’t hold out much hope for this one. Trying again though with another batch started four weeks later.

Northern_Ent June 13: sunny and hot 26 C and plants are finally growing quickly.
Nice smoke off of this plant. There is some sort of fuel or chemically taste and smell which is really like and it’s nice and strong. Good stuff.
This plant was outside during cold weather in mid-May and was dwarfed because of that stress. A second round of Six Shooters were started later and those plants are much bigger than this one. Success in outdoor auto growing is strongly dependent on the age of the plant when extreme weather hits. These plants did fine with the heat waves this summer (three days hitting 37 C in late June, five weeks after it hit -3 C in mid-May).

Northern_Ent Plant was smaller than it should be due to unusually cold weather in mid-May. Lesson is that it’s likely best to start auto outdoors in late May not early May. That means after the May long weekend here in Canada. Plant material mostly went for hash.
