Took a few days off to get away with my Mrs. so Iโm a few days late with this updateโฆ
Harvested both plants a few days ago on day 63 of flower.
I really wasnโt expecting too much from the Pineapple Gold as she suffered from pretty severe lockout (due to my over feeding me thinks). I was pleasantly surprised to see the nice little bouquet of buds I ended up with when I cut her down.
The Scotian Gold is on another level in terms of bulk. Her buds grew fat and long and as whole plants go, she is one of the heaviest Iโve pulled out of my tents. Curious to see what her dry weight will be ๐ง
Back with a harvest and smoke report in a week or two.
@Oozle, So far, I really like the Remo nutes. I find the EC readings are little lower and PH more stable vs. comparable quantities of the GH nutes. I used Diamond Nectar before which I suppose serves similar purpose as the velokelp. Hopefully, they respond as well to the flowering nutes!
@StunFlower, The natures candy has carbs in it. I've heard carbs can cause the bad bacteria to go crazy, but I've seen people use molasses in DWC and not have problems. So maybe try it in 1 reservoir and see what happens lol. Also, I am not sure there is the rhizosphere needed in DWC to breakdown and process those carbs. I use enough stuff in my reservoirs, so I look for any excuse to not add more lol.
I think the velokelp is a lot like the liquid karma I use. I love using kelp, but I found it makes the reservoirs a little brown and funky, so I try to use a few days before I plan to change my reservoir and mainly in flower as kelp is supposed to help make stinkier buds.
Don't let my experiences stop you from trying those products.. maybe I was using them wrong or had something else out of whack in my grow room. Definitely interested to see how your plants look if you use them.
@Oozle, Thanks! I thought I recalled you mentioning something about something in their product line that was problematic in DWC - can you refresh my memory? I'm not sure if it was the Velokelp or something else. ๐ค
@CannaScuzzyB, Hey pal! Great to hear from you. I can only assume things are starting to pop in your gardens again ๐ I've been doing fine - keeping busy; the summer flew by! I hope things are well with you!
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !
