Everything going smooth and easy. The seedling and vegetative growth is clearly much slower than I am used to in DWC.
Currently 1 sour kush in 15L and 2 sour kush in 1L pots
Moved to the larger tent, with more space and more ventilation and better light.
Will let them get used to it and grow a few more days before flipping to flower. Since its summer (and first living soil grow) I want there to be some space for ventilation so starting flower on the early side and much less plant training than usual.
first week of flower, all going very well for the sour ripper they are showing all the correct signs.
I have 3 phenotypes:
- 1 stretchy
- 1 short
- 1 'normal', like the stretchy but less stretch so far
I am glad I have some variation, a friend is growing the 3 remaining sour kush seeds (I had bought a 6 pack) in DWC (hydro) to compare :D It seems like he has 3x the short pheno but not certain yet (he is mainlining them)
==> I am already giving the biotabs pk compost tea boost, brewed following this method:
+ 1 tbs pk compost / L
+ 10 ml orgatrex / L
~~BREW 24H~~
+ 1 ts mycotrex / 3L
~~BREW 30 minutes~~
+ 1 ts bactrex / L
So far the plants are loving the pk compost tea! They look healthier after each feed of this tea (1x per week, given 2x so far, first time was 1 week before the switch to 12/12)
Since they are not yet focused on flower size/weight and it is recommended to give this tea starting after week 3 (day 21) of flower I only give small doses (0.15-0.3L per plant) and top up with plain water.
sour kush are doing great!
the 4L shorter pheno has less stretch and is elevated by 20cm to have a similar height to the rest.
Can't wait till they start smelling!!
Tiny bit of light burn on the leaves so I elevated the light by 15cm
Update day f21:
Did a defoliation on all plants, since they are small and do not take up much space I did only a minor defoliation to expose bud sites to more light and remove the under developed bud sites.
Gave some pk compost tea she seems to have responded very well :D
They reacted well to the defoliation and pk boost compost tea!!!
Day 22 they started getting smells, today at day 23 they have a bit more personality!
One of the sour kush already has a sour and fruity smell!!! I am very impressed so far!
As you can see the harvest will be small, I didn't fill the surface of my tent but also it is summer and to stay safe from mold problems I keep it nice and airy :D
