Got myself a nice strong start on the go here. Shame my bio grow hasn't arrived. I'm going organic again mostly anyway. I like the whole idea of making the plant work. Invested in a tower fan also with a couple of voltage regulators see if I can get a nice smooth controlled grow this time. I want it big this time. Unsure if to manifold or LST the thing. I'd like some high grade smoke come the end of the cycle
So I'm counting this week as a missed week really. Not a right lot happened. Ordered the wrong stuff had to wait an extra 3 days for a delivery again. Finally got some biogrow in the pot on ... Saturday. So 4 days into the week. Used 60g total for the pot which actually is a really light feed! Will see how we get on with that. I want the plant big! At least 120cm and a nice flat bouque to fill the space. I've read that these plants can reach that height within 4 weeks and I'm planning for a 10 week veg period! Plenty of training till I'm happy with the spread then I'll let it grow upward and try to leave space for the air circulation. Topped the plant after a couple of days in the bio grow. Responded well mostly. Was hoping for a nice even 4 nug start but the 4th is taking its time to rise. I have faith that it will jump up to there level in its own time.
Not actually done anything this week only a bit of pulling apart opening up the nodes to try and get light through to them all. Maddest thing is tho I've only watered it about... 1200ml last week not had a single drop since then till now and I only done it because I wanted to! Only 1 litre tho. Steady away again for the next week keep stretching it out.
Sorry for the late one couldn't miss the England vs Denmark game yesterday. Come on England! Haha. Anyway this week's been a bit different it's been thirsty I'd imagine the roots r starting to take hold of the media. Smells abit like... Burger sorta smelling but with a hint of bong water the only real way to describe it haha. Had a good dose of seaweed extract for some added root goodness. I'm gonna let it grow up a little bit now before I give it a good tie down to try and get maximum width then I will just let it go I think.
Not really done alot this week watered it every 2 days with 1.5litre with no run off. But today I've opened it to find this beauty bang on time for a fresh bit of biogrow top fed which is a medium dosage that will last for 8 weeks. 6 more weeks of veging and I'm going to try and let it grow upwards now. I'm abit worried about how it's going to support its self once it's developing and the stems are abit like playdoe. U can bend them and they r totally cool with it. They smell actually really good already. And after I had taken these pictures I watered it only to find there was gnats! I felt like crying I'm not gonna lie. Hate the things. Bit of research is going to have to be done I cant have that.
No issues all week steady away I might have underwatered slightly this week partly because it's been so hot! Only noticed when I hand my hands in the media for a check. Had a nice rinse with some bioenhancer. Measured the plant at its highest point 30cm but its measuring at 60cm wide and its now just a waiting game till we achieve a little height. Still not defoliated anything at all yet but looking at it if I'm to keep an even ish canopy I might want to look at it. Tho it grows very strangely. It's like it will grow a little bit here and then the next day a little bit there so it's forever looking abit lobsided middle is due for its turn tomorrow tho. I've tried to control it by spinning the plant thinking it might be down to the air circulation but it appears it's not that.
Been a busy week really spend abit of time this week snapping the cores of the branches so that when they heal they will stiffen up which has worked well so far. I hope it fails dues to super heavy kolas BTW. Removed some of the lower nodes but not the leaves. Still contemplating that one but watching them grow they r definitely not as reactive when they r not getting enough light compared to the ones near the tops. Probably next week I'll remove out any full branches that arnt gonna make the cut. Media soaked with abit of neem oil mixed up with water and a dab of soap. And damn that shit stinks! Defibitely using disposable things to mix up and apply that next time. The space is starting to fill up now reaching to the door and back wall which is good.
So the last week I've actually done alittle. Re tied and secured aswell as defoliating the bottom out and also removing a few nodes. I'm probably going to have to do it again maybe the week before I switch to flowering as I'm noticing that these runtz r very light hungry. If they don't get the light I'd consider removing the bud site completely to make up for it in the higher canopys. Looking at how it's growing im thinking its gonna be like 2 canopys. Been doing some more acupuncture on the stems to make them harden up and hopefully support help support some weight. Had a flush with some neem oil again also this week erghh it's 'angin that stuff! Definitely stopping it a month before crop as I can smell it sometimes even a few days after the treatment when I water. I dotn want that affecting the buds flavour! Might even stop soon as I touch flower. We shall see.
Had another bit of a defoliate this week cleared out some of the lowest branches which after pondering won't make the cut. Had to snap at least 3 of the taller ones but I made space for them without blocking too much of the other nodes. Pretty happy with it. Leave it be now till flower time when I finally turn the lights up! Hoping for a nice big stretch please please.
Nice stead week had a little tidy round and removed any from the cut that's not gonna reach high enough or is covered completely. Left it all week and an extra day for drying the media out fully. The light schedule has been reduced over 3 days till today when we reached a 12/12 timer. The biobloom has been added to the media and I'm fully clear of gnats! Like completely. Amazed. I've had to flick it over due to the amount of space I have available. I've probably got maybe... 10 cm of light room I can raise and its gonna be tight! Well looking forward to seeing some development. And sorry the ginger one wasn't interested today smells abit nutty that bio bloom. Ohh and I've pushed light strength up to 75 percent!
Starting to see some buds though they r so small and it really is starting to get a smell on it now. Used some bti dunks through this week and I've got the weirdest problem. I don't even know what they are I'm struggling to find any information besides soil mites. And they r not in my soil they r on my pot. I'm thinking it's due to the cardboard box I had put in there to raise the fan and the moisture or it could be down to the coco. Research research research. Looking like I'm gonna run out of vertical space also so I'm gpn a have to botch up a way to raise the light to the ceiling hahah.
All clean again and good to grow. Got the humidity down constantly in the low 40s which I'm well chuffed with. Started adding some pk boosters these last 2 feeds which I'm going to have to start to increase the volume of water. It's taking 3.5litres every other day no problem. The size also its 80cm tall from the media up. And then 70x60cm and I'm hoping for some whoppers. Not really a right lot I can do now only feed and wait. They have moved aswell since yesterday which I think is so strange. Like some branches have shifted sideways like its lining up for a grow spurt, wishful thinking I know but come on! Give me some big nugs! They smell really nice atm aswell very weedish but semi spicy sort of smell. It's a smell that sticks to u also when u leave!
Nice and easy this week watering away with some added pk booster. Tho on the last one I gave it a good flushing with some calcium water only and am gonna let it dry out for an extra day maybe 2 due to the rising humidity, naturally It wants to sit by its self in the low 50s I'd say but I've been blasting it down to 45rh. Ideally I want it to be comfortable at 40 before I start to water it again. I'm thinking aswell I'm gonna start to do reduced water but daily feeding. I think the runtz will benefit more from this but first let's dry out! The bud development is truly underway now also they have got some size to them. And the weight. I do think the last few weeks r gonna be a nightmare! Having snapped the plant at the base and then every branch more than half way up every inch or so its definitely made them strong but... They r getting weighty and if u move the plant the weight shows on the skinny branches! I need to start prepping for tieing them up!
Ohh man what a nightmare this week has been. Definitely got a pk lockout! So I've had a flush and probably used about 80 litres of tap water and then another 16 to bring the pH back down. I also added some seaweed to the final rinse to help with the uptake of nutrients and it seems to have done the trick. Omg does it stink tho! Unreal smell even with the carbon filter on I can smell it soon as I open the door to get in the house. And they have to fall over on the skinny branches too yesterday there was the first one now there is more! I'm going to tie them up to the ceiling. Really happy with how they r looking tho and feeling. Everyone of them feel rock hard and compact and the stickyness of them is next level. It's going to be hard to maintain this crop for a perfect finish but I will try my best. Fingers crossed!
Last 2 weeks thank goodness for that. Seem to be doing orite I don't know about the yellowing tho must be due to the big flush. Took a while to dry out fully and then I added some light nutrients and this happened haha. So today I've watered with just a basic bloom mix see if it helps. They smell good just feel like I'm loosing it tho the nugs r actually rock hard swelling sticky and smelly! The smell sticks to u also even after washing ur hands twice or 3 times. I am looking forward to smoking some of it tho. I could do with some joint relief my knees r shot with kneeling down to the pot haha
Not actually been as bad as I thought caring for these I've tied them up and secured some to the edge of the pot to pull it more central but I'm actually really happy with where they r at and omg they actually stink! Really sticky and rock hard also looking quite dry almost but obviously inside it will be sopping. Also I've got abit of colour coming through but it's so hard to capture it under the light but the tops have started to turn purple and some spots almost red. Hoping for a nice colourful bouquet come harvest..
So we r coming along now we have colours visible on the phone camera at last even the buds r turning purple they r quite nice to look at in person and every single nug is tight. So glad I semi supercropped all the branches to make them stronger I think it worked out well. Still flopping tho. The trichromes are gonna be ready soon I want a nice high thc count on this tho they are not triple stacked up or anything just normal looking to me. I've been giving them just ph'd water this week and checking run offs I had a 700 and then I had a 1000 I'm in the process now of waiting for the run off and hoping for it to have dropped or its going in the shower! Haha.
So the first 5 pictures are pictures from 2 days ago. I've actually cut it down today! And soon as I moved the plant a little to get some pictures the entire thing flopped! Hahah it was like a fountain of buds! Really really happy with the turn out tho I've got a feeling this single plant is gonna make it up into the 6oz 7oz tackle! The smell is to die for! The colours tho u can't really see them are stunning really dark leaves and stunning purple and red serrated edges almost like something from a sweet shop the name suits it to a tee! Will see how it smokes hopefully in a weeks time before the curing process! Thanks guys for the support and following really appreciate it.
So that's another one down and am pretty pleased with it. Every bud has dried properly and been trimmed and put into jars only today. Smells so good and it smokes so good also. The only way to explain is if ur eye socket was to fall down ur face but still work fine that's what it's like! I got 6.3oz off the plant I didn't wet weigh it due to just chopping the base this time. Urmm.. If I was to give any tips I would say be careful with the pk! Not a plant that u need to grow the shit out of either I don't think. It hit a certain point in veg when it was like almost a waste of time.
