4 of Dinafems Moby Dick autos finishing up...Time to pop 3 Stardawgs and 1 Expert seeds Glueberry Auto.
Update: All 3 Stardawgs Popped and in dirt within 36 hours. Still waiting for the glueberry to pop. Soil is Ocean Forest 4:1 Perlite mix with a half dose of dolomite in the top couple inches.
Well, It looks like I got my first dud in the glueberry auto from expert seeds. We are back to being a one strain grow. The stardawg ladies are potted and perky. I went straight into 5 gal pots on this grow instead of the solo cup first. Having so many issues last grow I'm just trying to minimize stress for as long as possible on this one. We will be LSTing, defoliating and won't be feeding for a while.
Being my first time throwing seeds right in their final homes I'm wondering if this is the reason these seem to be going slow so far? We have one with some slightly deformed looking leaves ( The first to pop out and tallest ).
I've seen this a few times on single strain grows where i get one weirdo that seems to just completely do its own wonky thing. and they usually start all gangly like this one I have now. I'm starting to wonder if when i see it as a seedling i should cut losses and pop another or?
No keep it going. I had worse and wanted to start over and was advised to keep it going by a friend. She ended up being my only female and was my only viable plant out of five seeds to be taken into flower.
Like Roberts said it’s not over until it’s over.
Keep it going!! 🤙
Nothing crazy to report about other than the mutant that obviously has a weird genetic thing going on. She is droopy and tired by the end of the day but always perks up during lights out. Growth rate is finally picking up. PH going in and coming out are perfect so far (thanks dolomite lime). I did notice the PPM'S of my runoff went up considerably to 2200 on the two bigger ladies without any nutes being added. Something for me to keep an eye on I guess. LST should start in about a week I'd say.
Fair amount of LST going on in there. They've been bent over and seem to be liking it. Just before pics were taken they were given some phd cal/mag water due to what I Believe was a slight mag def. starting. Ph is still remaining perfect in FFOF ( Big up dolomite ). PPM's coming out have dropped from 2000 to 1000 in one week so I'm gonna keep an eye on that. I'm watering every 3 days right now as well not every day as the drop down made me choose per day. They seem pretty happy though. I have a feeling they're about to explode. Update: I was right they needed a lil cal / mag and in 2 days yellowing has cleared up and they are absolutely exploding almost doubled in size in 2 days. Also two have started to flower.
Pictures were taken immediately after feeding with recharge. They claim massive strength and growth increases within 48 hours so let's see shall we? We have started to flower and stretch a little. PPM's still dropping rapidly so I might end up starting some light flower nutes sooner than I expected. Defoliation was only a couple leaves that were laying in the dirt from being bent over.
Ph has been staying steady this grow. I'm happy about that but it's also staying steady at the top of cal/mag's range. (6.8) I believe this is why we have some yellowing and purple/red stems as well. So I have some cal/mag water ready to go at 6.0 for their morning watering. hopefully this will get us to a little better spot?
I would say she needs a good feed. Probably why the pH is always the same. Nothing happening to change it.... I would give her half and half grow/bloom nutrients and see how she responds. Bring the pH down to 6.5. I hope this helps, good luck
Thanks to everyone who helped confirm what I thought but wasn't sure about. These ladies were very hungry last week. Started with a light dose of nutes ( half veg, half flower nutes). Followed up with a much heavier dose after a positive response from the first one and they are happy as hell now. Although they are looking a little hungry again after one watering of ph water kind of a semi flush. Back on the nutes next time. We have some crystals forming on one lady and Buds forming everywhere. Let's go.
What can I say? This grow has been mostly smooth sailing. The ladies are looking beautiful and happy. I'm going to guess we have about 2-4 weeks left and we are still perky , green and budding everywhere. Fair amount of crystals on all 3 ladies , one more than the other 2. One main cola on the smallest plant is about the size of 24oz spray bottle. Let's see how fat she can get! Smell has officially entered the strong category and is very sweet smelling. I think she will be a very tasty smoke.
We are in the home stretch. according to black skull we should be finishing up right now but they are ready when they're ready. two days ago we gave them their last and strongest dose of nutes in the morning then lolipopped at night. flush tomorrow and just ph water and molasses to finish up. got a little bit of scissor hash from the last defoliation and man was it tasty.
OK, here they are! Two are iced up..the best one I left alone and lights out for a couple days starting now. Ice bath , BRO science or what? we shall see.
I'm not sure why they ask for wet weight up there. I don't ever weigh wet ( what's the point ? ). We ended up jaring up about 6.2 ounces from 3 plants and have about 4 ounces of tric covered trim that will be used for Bubble hash. The scissor hash was delicious and fruity and smooth. Hopefully a good indication of how the cured bud will taste. I'll be crossing these with a g13 berry auto right after this next photo run. Stay tuned for that.
