So I germinated 2 Strawberry Banana auto beans. Both split a huge ass tail an now are popped above the soil line an are doing great. I started off with giving all the new girls a nice transplant drench with alil tea. Then once they fully dry out ill be doing jus plain RO water with alil tea added in till they get fully established an have about 5 nodes each on them. Once they hit that stage ill start the normal trans and growth drenches an go back an forth every watering. But for now the soil has everything these lil babies could need cept the water hence the ro till they get older. This last round of girls I had did and are doing good but the yield was definitely smaller then ive had in ages lol. So definitely guna go back to topping my girls. An ill top each of them on day 20 an by then they shud b close if not already started on normal drenches. But yea very excited about this run. I ran there strawberry pie a few times last year an it was insanely potent an great for extracts.the only downside was the buds werent that big/dense cept for one of my girls she got nice and fat lol. I consider that girl my best plant that year. So now when I seen these n it looks like the buds are way more dense then the pie was it has me drooling lol. I really hope it lives up to expectations.
Ok so here we got both my Strawberry Bananas up an going strong. They had growen up so much they were tipping over lol. So I piled up some soil around the base of each of the girls an thts why they look shorter this week. But since they got a full transplant drench when I planted them they only get plain ro water with alil tea added in till they get older n more established. Once they get like 4 to 5 nodes ill start doing the normal soil drenches but for now jus RO n TEA.
Ok so with these girls ill be topping them at around day 20. An they are growing so fast an vigorously that I decided to jus go ahead an start them on the regular veg feeding schedule. So they all got a nice transplant Drench with alil tea added in as well.
Normally I do 15 ML Transplant Drench per gallon of RO water. For adults/fully established plants.
But since they are babies I went with 6ML Trans. Drench.
Tea - 3 ML per 5 gallons of RO water.
Ok so im definitely onto sumthn here with starting the babies on there full veg feed earlier then I normally. The base stalk is already freaking huge so its definitely guna be ready for some big nuggage come harvest time lol. I also topped all the girls this round an they all are taking it like a champ. They barely even slowed down growth at all. I started to do some LST work on the girls but ran outta pipe cleaners lol. So ill be making sure to finish the bondage treatment for all the girls this week. Since I ran out of pipe cleaners to strap an hold the girls dwn I jus did some lst on each branch. I jus kinda rolled each branch bavk an forth between my pointer finger and thumb.
So here is this weeks veg feed amounts.
Growth Drench 15 ML per 1gallon of RO water.
TEA 3 ML for 5 gallons of RO water.
Ok so I accidentally deleted all my after training pics I had of the girls lol. But its ok I got some to hold every1 over till 2morow an ill snap a few more pics of both the girls then. That way they will have had alil time to bounce back from the training an then jus in time for some pics be all back into beast mode lol. Its crazy how good they took to starting full veg feeds alil earlier then i normally do. Im guna keep doing this with all my girls on the next round and get my feeding schedule more dialed in. Cause if I can push my girls even father for either better quality or better yields or shit even better both of them lol an keep the girls healthy then why not right. So the next tweet im doing to the feeding schedule is that im guna do every3 days a feeding instead of normally 5 to 6. Now im not a 100% sure this will be able 2 be done for every cultivar I run. Cause some cultivars jus don't eat as much as others. And since im doing a LOS setup I pretty much feed my soil and then it grows my plants not me lmao. Its not like a hydro setup where u jus put calculated amounts of nutes. Los is more like having a buffet with all the healthy nutes in the available forms so the plants can jus like go up to feed an jus get everything they need nutrional wise. So they can uptake as much as that individual plant can do. So if I were to keep feeding the plant every 3 days an it was a cultivar that didn't eat as fast as that then there wud get a build up of whatever nutes the plant didnt get to. An eventually its guna throw all the nutrient ratios out of sync an then ur plant is guna suffer. So this feeding schedule im doing this time with the girls is specific to this round of girls only. And then each round of girls I do ill jus have to pay attention to how fast they eat n set feeding rates accordingly.
This weeks feeding rates are as follows.
Transplant Drench 15 ML per gal. Of RO water
Growth Drench 15 ML per gal. Of RO water
TEA 3 ML per 5 gallons of RO water
We so need to get an xtra tab for preflower when doing updates for when the plant switches from the veg stage to the flower stage. Cause I got #1 going into full flower mode so gave her her first set of cat drenches. And #2 is in preflower jus alil behind her sister. But she will get normal drenches till she is in full flower mode for alil bit then ill start her cat drenches.
So for wen the plant gets to flower an buds are set then give her 1st set of cationic drench at 15ML per gallon of RO water.
TEA 3ML per 5 gallons of RO water.
Then normal drenches are.
Transplant D. 15ML per 1 gallon of RO water.
Growth D. 15ML per 1 gallon of RO water.
Finally got them to start flowering and doing good. Ill be starting the cat drenches 2morow. Ill get a few pics of them then when I stop out at the garden.
Ok so this is my last run for autos cause these last few rounds have been very unstable an most of them i would end up tossing cuz they jus went to Ruderalis like. So this time I was like well they seemed liked they were kinda tryn to swell up alil but jus maybe needed more time. So jus kept them going in hopes they wud grow out of it but nope this is what I got for the Strawberry Banana #1 and #2 plants. This is one of the most ridiculously sad grows I've ever finished an I really jus wanted to throw in the towel so many times but figured jus fuck it ill jus finish these journals an move on lol. Altho the one looks like ill be able 2 get a decent little concentrate run from her hopefully cuz even tho she didnt puff up for shit she did get pretty resinous so thats atleast a half a plus there lmao.
Ok so decided to give another round of growth drench with alil tea to the girls this week. Im hoping to incourage some more bud growth an hopefully get them to plump up alil cause they are some scraggly girls this round lol. Im seeing abunch of fresh white hairs all over the bottoms and middle of the girls so im hoping they can turn around alil here.
Hey! Happy growing my friend! I hope you do well and get some good results! I will come by sometime to see your progress! Keep on growing!
