Yao look a bit droopy after the separation, Possible a bit extra with the Gaia All Purpose 4-4-4. We had close to 13.5 hours with the plants in the sun today, adding extra water now, top soil is drying out very fast.
Andy Capp, she was welting away fast, and lots of pale colours, I was up reading online for hours, Mrs Capp got a mix of soil and the all purpose was mixed on soil. I remembered a conversation, its because of phosphorus soil the plants survive the winters in the tropics (less than 12 hours days and mostly under 30c). I didnt know what to do. One crazy idea said I can get phosphorus from burned cucumber skin. I posted a question, one answer - No a cannabis plant does not need 0-11-27 from burned cucumber skin. So I thought about it. Looking at the plant it was pale as ever. I read again that original site. So what! I did it. further reading says in others words maybe the veg stage needs nitrogen but this was an emergency. and 0-11-27 will do the most important thing. Speed up the plants ability to feed. So I did it, got the cucumber skin burned, and made three deposits in the soil 2-3 inches from the stem, dusted the burnt material into the finger hole, covered it up, and drew a liquid ounce of water from stem to deposits. by the time the sun was up about two hours later Andy Capp looked so mad at me but had nice green color again, so I dug out the deposits and called it a day. Now the plant is pretty much looking the same with half decent color. When I gently removed Andy from the two seed pot, the root was small and round, about the size is a big gum ball. just having fun learning as I grow.
Day 27 - As opposed to Headband taking a primp posture under FL, Yao is having branches beyond 90 degrees from stem, looking like she is clapping to the sun shine. Andie Capp looks like she is ready to be Bonsai'd, reading on the skill today.
week 15 - fall equinox already passed, i cant recall over 5 days straight sun, too many coulds, not enough days 30c or above, but hot enough in grow space. For sure my personal study on urban growing specialty plants in "available" light will be a challenge, following any photosynthesis chart the plant without constant light energy will not feed on schedule and cycles will overlap so to say. most interesting observation is how Headband (auto grow) and Red Dragon (not quite auto grow) both produced smell and the stringy buds the exact same time. side by side might be pretty special. i estimate a harvest in 17 days, testing a heater below 9c.
She still looks young.. Those white hairs should change color. To.. like an orangish reddish color .. The # of weeks isn't a guarantee just a general time.. Harvest you watch the crystals when they go from milky white to. Amber color then its ready.. 20% amber 80%milky is what i like..
