Well, what we feared, became a reality, one of the regular XTrakush plants is a male. This is why I planted two and I'm happy it seems to be only the one. But with the canopy going nice and full it hurt to get it out. Of course, I hoped to have two females but nature went its course. Considered leaving it in, to pollinate the others, or keeping it somewhere, but I do not have the space or light for it.
Thus with pain in my gut, I went about getting her out. I notice a nice developed root system, very healthy, which was very hard to get loose. After shaking the soil off I have a rootball the same size as after my whole grow last time. I could lift the whole 57 ltr bag by lifting the plant. Sturdy stem, thick solid branches. This is what I was aiming for and it works. The soil again is proving itself to be a winner.
The light this low gives some higher temps as expected, but manageable within ranges. The SP-3000 is performing really well and I cant wait to see the bud development coming weeks. I'm sure it will deliver a great amount of bigger buds looking at all the flower sites and the thick branches that support them.
Remember to check in on www.mars-hydro.com, they have awesome deals now for Black Friday!
I'm giving more water now, once in two days instead of three. They seem to need it with the higher temps. The plants seem to take the light well on only 45 cm.
I've started adding the BAC Organic Bloom Nutrition. It is designed to work with the microorganisms I added with the micro life. With this I do a little bit of Calmag, but not so much, since I don't see any evidence of shortages, again proving my soil is dialed in for growing under LED perfectly.
All in all, even with a minor setback, all is ready to pull in a mega harvest.
Thanks for checking in again!! Hug Bud & Sunshine.
Hi Guys,
Any suggestions?
Situation:
- Bud was close to light
- Heat was higher
- This is only place on plant
- Was the highest bud at the time
- Just had watered, maybe overwatered?
- Just had put in wood-ash, maybe too alkaline?
- Overall bud growth was stunted couple days
Rub your finger across it, if any comes off on your finger it would be some leaf fungus. If it doesn't rub off, could be a calcium issue. Try lowering your ph to 6.2 for better absorption
@BioBuds, I normally grow under 2 TSL's. This is a comparison round between the SP3000 and the TSL2000. If the SP3000 gives a tiger yield then the TSL I will definitely buy another one but till now the TSL seem to outperform the SP3000. (Faster growth, bigger buds)
Very few friends know that me too got the same passion for obscures or forgotten strains, especially Kushes, and I like to try them indoors. Compliments Bio, really a nice diary and professional video. Let's see how this Kush do in such experts hands....
@Rap_a_cap, thanks buddy!! What a nice thing to say! Now lets not f this up... :P If you love those strains, a buddy is sending me a bunch of special strains, all in all too much for me to grow in time. Stay in touch and Ill let you know when they are in!
@DevilsBud, yeah Im not entirely worried with this plant structure and toughness. I have twice the mass compared to last grow, that was a nice canopy but it was thin and flimsy if you look well. This topdown fan approach delivers real sturdy plants. But a little extra help visualizing a huge crop, never hurt anyone. Thanks buddy!
@Roberts, thats a real big compliment, thank you, in this case I'm literally learning from the best. Many a time now a sneaked a little peek into your magical gardens to see how you do things. Thanks again for all the love! Im working my way back through your diaries, its a very informative but it will take me a while :P 🙏👍👏
@BioBuds,..ur welcome.. Yes im doing fine thanks. Mars wow very powerful im learning how much power to give plants without burning em lolol... Thanks again. GrowMie
@JamMAKEcan, thank you buddy! Are you still going well? Hope you enjoying those new Mars Hydros! U will be amazed! Checking out your grows later today, take care and thanks buddy!
Thank you @Growdiaries and @Fast_Buds for the great prize and the honour. Also many thanks as these results wouldn't be possible without my trusty Mars Hydro SP-3000, provided by @MarsHydroLED THANK YOU MARS HYDRO FOR A GREAT LIGHT!!
