Last day of week six today. Love this part of the grow, minimal effort and buds are starting look great. Should be doing their final fatting up in the next couple weeks. I have been giving a light compost tea about once a week and did my last top dressing around week five. The ECSD didn't make it, at this point I have to assume it was from overwatering due to my automation and the individual needs of the plants. Next round I plan on configuring a solenoid for each plants water line, that way I can adjust amount time for each plant separately. That combined with the individual wifi moisture sensors should allow me to fully dial in each plant so they are getting optimal watering and dry cycles!
Sour Apple Gelato:
This strain looks crazy frosty and has an excellent nose. The amazing dark purple leaves looks rad, very excited for her to finish up. Looks like it should finish in the next two week.
I took some clones last week incase I want to run it again, hopefully one of them takes.
Cherry Runtz:
Nice fat nugs on this one with an light sweet cherry smell looks like it should finish in the next two week.
Apples and Bananas:
Has a mild banana smell with a bit of funk, trics look chunky on this one. Seems to have the most white pistols I suspect this plant will take a bit longer to finish then the others. Maybe another two - three weeks?
East Coast Sour Diesel:
RIP - To much water makes for a dead plant. The buds that were on her seemed to finish so she will be made into concentrates.
Compost Tea - Final flowering - 5gal bucket bubbled for 3+ days:
- 2 tbsp EM (microbes)
- 3 tbsp liquid kelp
- 2 tbsp molasses
Final Top Dressing at week 5:
-1/2 cup Gaia 444
-1/2 cup Gaia 284
-1 cup EWC
Thanks @@saderflaak,
I do love the organic growing and feel Gaia Green all purpose and bloom was a great way to get started with it and recycled organic living soil. I will be moving towards a living soil bed with coot mix / no till over the next few grows. I suspect one could source the organic ingredients their self in the EU if one was inclined.
My next run (Gary Payton, Grape Ape, Headband wedding cake and OG 18) is in flower now and I will post a new journal soon.
I checked out your last grow as well and it is looked great, good work!
Thanks @Laian! Yes I am hoping this run will bring me closer to my goal of 2lbs, no clue if this will quite get me there but it should at lest be more than the last two grows at 1.5lbs.
Very nice grow buddy. Just ordered my CopyCat Genetix last week. Can't wait to pop them girls and get it going. Just finished an Auto Gorilla Glue, waiting to finish drying to do my harvest notes. But super nice grow will be looking forward to more from you. 😎
