My phone broke, just got a new one, so unfortunately I don't have pictures of the last 2 1/2 weeks. Here we are about 2 months in of grow time. The blackberry kush is 2 weeks older than the younger/larger plant. Monday(7/16/18) I switched from 400MH to 600HPS & I just switched over to flower today (7/20/18). Been doing some bending/Lst, still debating on topping the A'stem, Both plants are healthy overall. 1 1/2 gallons of 5.8pH R.O water every other day for each pot.
Super cropping,LST & topped about 4 top nodes. Cutting out Cal mag for remainder of cycle. Feeding once a week, turned ballast down to 400w to avoid burns.
Going into Week 5 of flower for the random strain, ppms are in the 900's. Light feeding 1once a week sunniland 2-10-10 half tblsp for 5 gal. R.o water 13 drops of general hydroponics "pH down" per gallon of water, 5.8-6.1. 1/2-2 gallons every other day along with defoliation/maintenance.
Week 8 for the blackberry kush began flushing, ppms in the 800's at the moment. Only feeding molasses 1once a week about 15 drops per gallon.
1 more week until harvest for the blackberry kush.
Rajasthan strain half way through flower. Watering every other day 1 1/2 gallons of R.O water PH'd at 5.7-6.2
Both plants are grown in 90% Coco coir. 10% miracle grow organic mix as top soil in 5 gallon air smart pots. Recently got a new light, 600w full spectrum with bloom/veg option. Iduxpert600. Replacing my 600w hps and 400w mh setup. No more ballast, cut my light bill in half and no more high temperatures causing heat stress, easily 20° in heat reduction.
Blackberry kush harvested.
Had fun growing this strain, it was my first time running an auto flower.
Learned a lot from this grow. The genetics are explosive, I would suggest topping and mainlining at the 3rd node, won't feed as much next time and I had a bit of pH issues. Seems to me that the strain will do great on its own with common maintenance, I happened to over stress the plant too young, over fed, heat stressed and pH was off. Clearly affecting my yield. Overall the appearance of the nugs are satisfying and nothing but white ashes in my bowls. Hints of earthy fruit. Till next time fast buds 🏽
Rajasthan strain, on about day 40 of flower, a little concerned that no thc has developed yet this far in. Any input??? I also notice that on some of the branches/colas near the bottom vegetation, seeds are developing. I purchased these strains directly from rajasthan, 200 seeds, so not sure if it's just part of the genetic. There are no males in the tent to pollinate this mother plant. Hoping it's normal, anyone have/had this happen before?? Leave comments/recommendations below.
Thanks
