Scorpion Run

Moved into grow room after 7 days under Flourescents and 7 days of germination tray. The taller plants are about 6 weeks old. Tried their hands outside, no go. 108+ was too much 😂. They came out of shock during the 2 weeks of the the other girls coming up.

Scorpin Weed

Flipped to flower after a true 14 days in the grow room + the germination time and 1 week under fluorescent.

Tough growing 12 plants. Top dressed 1500ml of Living Soil per pot to inoculate the soil. I have two plants in 3 gallon pots and the PH is dropping in those pots causing deficiencies. Watered those with 1 gallon of water at a PH of 7.5. Collected runoff and tested it. Rewatered those and the rest with full strength nutrients PH’ed to 6.1. Ill keep an eye on those. Fast growth on this run. Im going to push them hard! Day 3 Added 1000ml of Fermented Fruit Juice mixed 100:1, 500ml of compost tea, and a teaspoon of Recharge to get the microbes going. Day 6 watered them with 3/4 strength nutes. I only gave them 2000ml of the 3000ml solution they normally get. That was all they asked for.

Start of week 3 Flower. Culled one AK-47 showing signs of Hermie, he/she gone! The others are already filling in the void. Growing Fast! Watered the two 3 gallon pots with 500ml just water. PH issue is about corrected in these. Gave everyone 3500ml full nutrient solution. My pics are wide angle so its hard to show scale. Only reason i added some “guy” is for scale. Raised the lights for the last time. Each light is emitting around 2000 micro mols! Experimenting with an “average” hps bulb and reflector VS. a “top of line” hps bulb with adjustable reflector supplemented with 110w of UVB. Watered each plant with 1 Gallon full strength nutrients. I will defoliate the plants under the “top of the line bulb” and uvb over the next couple days. The other plants under the “average” bulb will keep their leaves as a control.

Start of week 4. Watered with 3500ml hygrozyme and recharge only. I don't want to have any toxicity’s. Runoff looked good. Full strength nutes again in 3 days. Turned the lights down to 1000w. Watered with both Remo and hygrozyme mixed at 50%. Watered with 4000ml solution of all nutrients mixed at 80% strength with 13.3 ounces of FFJ (Fermented Fruit Juice) from Mango, Banana, and squash for terps.

Start of week 5 Watered with 2000ml solution including some of the best Bokashi Tea around my lil’ Town. Thank you Chuck-E!! Added Hygrozyme, Microbes, and some Chitin to stimulate plant defense pathways as well. The 3 Gallon pots have fought me the whole way with ph issues, and some deficiencies not related to ph like nitrogen deficiency. Maybe, if everything was in 3 gallon pots I would have them more dialed in. However, having to add more nutrients now is more expensive than the cost of the 7 gallons of living soil up front. 🤷‍♂️🏽 Learned a lesson, ill add it to the list. 1/2 way through Flower! It is smelling insane! The Ak smells like bubblegum, Durban is taking on a citrus smell, and the Maui is just different! The Bokashi Tea HAS to be helping! Watered 3800ml of Remo mixed at 50% with hygrozyme and small amount of molasses.

Beginning of week 6! They are getting some mass and are starting to fall over. I put some stakes in each pot. A net will not work, as i rotate and inspect them frequently. I plan to take them 9-10 weeks so i will continue with nutrients thru this week then asses, 😆(ass). Got some minor tip burn on a couple but not on others so I'm just going to push those ones. Still at 1000w for this week then ill start to turn em down. The 3 gallon pots are still a lil pissed but truckin along 🤷‍♂️🏽. The smell is getting stronger. I get whiffs around the outside of the house every now and then 😋. Thank you for reading Day 37-Watered with 50% remo, 50% hygrozyme, microbial mass, chitin, and Bokashi Tea of Mango, watermelon, honeydew, and Banana. PH came out to 6.3. I point or two low but my soil drifts towards 7.0 so it will be $. Getting a lil bigger and stinkier err day! The soil is just right for the duration of my grow. The mobile nutrients are being consumed by the plant. Which in turn means- Slightly less green starting from the bottom up, yellowing and possible color changes mean cleaner smoke due to a lower concentration of stored energy and/or nutrients in the plant tissue. Nitrogen is harsh, phosphorus crackles when you light your bowl…….etc. You cant flush the nutrients from the tissue but you can help or time your plants consumption of them naturally. Day 41 Flower- The 3 Gallon pots need an adjusted nutrient concentration or something. They have fluctuated the entire grow. They trend acidic with the runoff being in the 5’s. The 7 gallon pots run pretty close to what i put in. Today everyone was watered with a PH’d solution of hygrozyme and a small amount of Molasses. Molasses will acidify the soil so i have been using it sparingly. The PIA 3 gallons pots got watered with a PH of 7.3 to compensate for the PH of the runoff. I don't want to flush and drown them this close to the end as today I lowered the light intensity to 750w, the day temp to 75, and humidity to run between 40-50%.

Start of week 7. Steady growing, trying to turn everything down to preserve volatile compounds…terps and what not. Growing a few different strains means Im not 100% sure when they will be ready. I will start watching trichomes. Some will start to get plain water next watering (Indicas) while i am going to have to continue with ferts on at least 5 of them(Sativas). I guess ill have to figure it out as I go 🤷‍♂️🏽 Day 43 Gave everyone 3500ml solution of Recharge, Remo, and Hygrozyme, PH 6.5. 3 gallons pots older fan leaves look toasted. Had the PH issues not too long ago in the small pots. Light stress, nute burn, deficiency, lockout, overwatering 🤷‍♂️🏽 soo tough to tell. Gave them all a good feeding. If the 7 gallon pots are starting to show deficiencies(good thing) the 3 gallon pots may be deficient. The runoff was very low after the last PH’d watering. We will see Day 46 Watered everyone with 3800ml solution of Remo, hygrozyme, and about 100ml of Bokashi used as PH down 😛. Smell is getting steadily stronger in the room and around that side of the house. Getting closer

Day 50! Start of week 8! I am watering with only 3800ml water and enough Bokashi Tea to get my PH to 6.5. The Bokashi Tea is derived from fresh Mango, Pineapple, Cantaloupe, Banana, Apples, Basil, Potato, and Inoculated Bran. In my opinion, “Terp Sauce”, helps insanely with the terps and many other things. Camera work is not my strong point. Day 53 Gave 3800ml of water with only enough Bokashi Tea to PH water to 6.8. Day 56 Gave 3800ml of water with only enough Bokashi Tea to PH water to 6.8.

Start of Week 9 Flower. 57 days from the 12/12 flip. The indica hybrids are almost there and the Sativas may need another week or two. I will just keep an eye on them. They are smelling amazing and definitely ripening up. I’ll try to get a couple pics with the lights off, hopefully tomorrow. Thank you for reading! Day 60. Just maintaining. Getting closer! I will check Trichomes over the next week as I water. I will get some more bud pics up soon. I have been busy trying to wrap up some other projects so i am free to harvest. Hopefully over the next two weeks they will all be hung! 🙏

Start of week 10 Flower! Day 65 Flower. A couple girls are about ready. A couple will need another week. I am letting the soil dry out before i give them their final Trichome check. Amazing smells, almost there! Day 69 Flower. Looks a little unruly, as I have just been letting them do their thing. The fans are about used up. Two will be moved into 48 hours of dark tomorrow after not being watered for 5 days. Super Skunk and GG4 will not be watered again. The rest got their water with Bokashi and will be monitored as most of the Durbans have another week.

Day 70! They are showing signs of foxtailing due to the light intensity. Time to go!!! Temps, humidity, and CO2 are prime. I pulled the Super Skunk, the Maui Waui’s, and the Gorilla Glue #4 into their light deprivation area for the next 60 hours or so. It gets dark when i drop the Cloth curtain. I also have a Durban Poison already hanging. Got tired of looking at her about a week ago. I will post some close up pics with those HIDs off and some normal light right before i cut them. There are a few more ripening up in the flower room. They will all be done over the next 2 weeks.

If you like to grow, I hope you like to trim

Lots of trimming. Great strain.
