19/7 Other than some bug problems. Plants are doing fine. The Ladybug larvae are gone somehow :/ I did spray the plants lightly with a mixture of water garlic and cinnamon. That helped a lot with the aphids. The smell is getting sweeter and nicer but it's also quite strong and pungent. When they're on the balcony you can smell it for quite a bit of the inner yard (which is shared with neighbors). Luckily I haven't had any complaints yet.
It's week 11 now. The plants should be finished in 11 weeks from seed, but they will not be ready at the end of this week. It's like 40 / 60 clear / milky so they need 2 to 3 more weeks. I think 2 more weeks of feeding and then 1 week of flushing. But we'll see.
21/7 The bugs are an issue. Can't seem to get rid of the aphids / spidermites / thrips. I've got it semi under control by checking the plants every day and killing every bug I see and defoliating the more infected parts. It's a pain so I'm going to start the flush and harvest in 1 to 2 weeks. I'm starting a new purplematic CBD grow and I don't want the bugs to spread to the new seedlings.
@BioBuds, Nice one. I'm thinking about buying a tent myself. But since I don't really smoke I'm holding it off to see how I react to the oil. If it's good medicine I might still go for the tent eventually.
Best of luck on your grow too :D
@Nenay, yeah in Europe here this summer is horrible... i was planninf outdoor grow... bought a tent instead. Dine with summer messing up my stashplans :p...
Hoping for better weather for you growmie! Take cate!! Bud
@BioBuds, Thanks for the encouragement :) Definitely trying again. Still got 1 x Sweet CBD in front of my window, 3 x Sweet CBD in an outdoor grow in a nearby garden and 2 purplematic + 1 Fast Eddy seedlings waiting for better weather so they can go outside :)
Μου άρεσε πολύ να βλέπω πώς να συνδυάζω τα φυτά σας στην ίδια κατσαρόλα, φέτος έβαλα ρεβίθια με μαριχουάνα, διάβασα ότι μερικοί συνεισφέρουν άζωτο στο έδαφος
@Beyourself, I did prune the white clover but the marigold is hard to prune and the leafs are thick and get it the way. I can bend them a bit to the side though. Will probably just do white clover if I do another grow.
lol😊, λοιπόν είναι διασκεδαστικό να πειραματιστούμε, αρκεί η ρίζα να μην είναι πολύ επεμβατική ... αλλά αν συμφωνώ ότι όσο χαμηλότερη τόσο καλύτερη, μπορείτε πάντα να κόψετε
@Beyourself, To be honest. I don't know if I'll do it again. Maybe only plants that stay really low or are easy to prune. They easily overshadow the lower nodes and make using training techniques more difficult.
@PeppaWutz,Yeah they do. 4.7 gram would be enough to make about 100 ml of oil. I have harvested two more Critical CBD plants from my outdoor grow though, so I should be able to make enough when I include that harvest, which was bigger.
