Week 3 Veg
This week her nutrients have been increased to my usual veg strength. Liquid Silicon is being added to increase strength and thicken cell walls, making her more immune to pests. It also makes your plants slightly bendier for training. Epsom Salts (magnesium sulfate) is also being added for another source of Mag. Sulfur is also key for faster growth, in the production of amino acids, but I stop feeding by day 35 flower (8wk strain) to ensure it is properly flushed.
She was then transplanted and topped on Day 20. As you can see, she filled her cup pretty well with healthy white roots. When transplanting, ensure the pot is slightly drier than you'd usually let it get; this helps keep all of the coco together without breaking apart. I also decreased the nute strength slightly to prevent burning the root tips straight after transplanting. Once she was in her new pot, I watered with just a bit more (in vol) than when in the cup. I find doing this gives the roots a chance to shoot out in search of water in her new pot, rather than not having the need to grow further into the pot due to having as much water as it needs already there.
So far so good πͺπ
Thanks for following and happy growing! πΊ
Looks great. Mine stretched from 13 to 48 and kept going so I bent over the meristem about 4β down. Yours will be huge unless I just have an odd pheno.
@TheFoxFarmer, some of it could be my light positioning. I had them set at 48β for a 36β tall plant when I put the 13β plant in flower. So I may have induced some light stretching. I donβt know but like youβve said βshe got bigβ.
@Michka, I veg for around 8 weeks. As soon as one girl is chopped from the flower tent the next girl goes in (after cleaning her new space first) βοΈπΊ
@TheFoxFarmer,how long will you stay in veg ? Mine are still small, i think i have minimum 3more weeks and then i'll switch them in flowering .. But i'm pretty sure yours will be bigger all the way... :)
@TheBudWhisperer, yeah coco drains well and if you're using fabric pots and have good air movement around the pots then that can also dry them quicker. It can be an advantage if you don't mind putting the work in, cuz they're fed more often and can be flushed more frequently during flush π¦βοΈπ¦
@TheFoxFarmer, k just double checking. My coco is draining like crazy and Iβm gonna be watering a ton (like every couple days) so just making sure the frequency isnβt completely outta whack. Cheers dude!π
@Michka, they're actually 3 fingered, but the middle finger is far bigger than the other two. It's because she's growing so fast she hasn't got time to produce huge fans! βοΈπ¦
Cheers @Ganjagrandaddy π sometimes that's just how it goes but at least you will have gained some knowledge and experience for your next run with her! Best of luck man πͺβοΈπ¦
@biggreens420, she was taken to 10 weeks mate as the garden need to carry on ticking! But she ripened well and couldn't really go for much longer as she was falling all over the place! Haha. Been slow on the updates as I've been working long hours but I'll be uploading more as soon as possible. Cheers Big G βοΈππ¦
What a great grow and diary bro, congrats!!! Very good commentary and final harvest review as well! Itβs unbelievable how one 315w CMH can grow those colas! Hope you win some prizes with this. Well deserved!! πππͺ
@TOTEM, cheers bro I appreciate your kind words π I'm still amazed at how much this girl produced! π I need to get me a bigger light! Haha βοΈπ¦
My girl has stayed relatively short so far, which is surprising because the leaves are certainly a higher sativa pheno. I assume some of this is owed to its training, but she didnβt even seem to stretch drastically after I flipped her a few weeks back. Interesting to see how she will turn out! Congrats on your harvest my man!
@Magnetous_tryko, honestly mate I'm blown away at how well she performed under my tiny CMH! πͺ she's a beast! Best of luck to you man, and I hope you can deal with her insane continuous stretch! Haha. Cheers mate! ππ¦
A couple weeks in to growing Hulkberry. This is my first time growing and just as I was starting to feel confident on this sophomore attempt I give your diaries a peek and am instantly humbled π
