The buds are definitely getting frosty. I don't think my yield will be very big this grow, but it should be really good quality.
So, I was looking on www.buildasoil.com and saw that they were selling 8 ounce packs of freeze dried coconut water powder for plants. The product also sites a study by three scientist, two of them in Singapore, and the third scientist at MIT university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the composition of Plant Growth Regulators in coconut water. As I was reading, I remembered that I have some Pineapple Mango coconut water with Aquamin, which is a calcium derived from algae harvested in the North Atlantic, so I have started giving my girls one teaspoon of this powder per gallon of nutrient mixture. I am adding this for the PGRs in the coconut water, but also as an extra source of sugar for the microbes in the soil. I have added this the last two feedings along with the Green Planet nutrients and Real Growers Recharge, and I can say I have never seen my plants this healthy and frosty. I can't wait to see how my final harvest turns out. Also, if anyone is interested in reading more about the natural PGRs found in coconut water, you can read the article I found below on "The Chemical Composition and Biological Properties of Coconut."

@Budders, nice man that mimosa x orange punch has really good bag appeal from what I've seen. Looks like this run is gonna be mostly Humboldt Seed Co nice!!
Hi@TurboNico, I actually plan to run Pistachio with Nutter Budder, Stoopid Fruits, Vanilla Cream Pie, Mimosa x Orange Punch, and maybe some Baby Backs from Cannarado, which is a cross of GMO x Bubblegum Biscotti. I will grow Old Growth OG on my run after that with Blueberry Cupcakes, Raspberry Parfet, Vanilla Frosting, and Twins, which is another Cannarado genetic, which is Sour Double x Birthday Cake.
@L_Choppa, I believe in making sure the plants have all the nutrients they need, especially during the last part of flower. My PPM for my next feeding is about 620 PPM. I don't believe in giving just straight water during the last phase of flower, as you are depriving the plants of much needed nutrients when they need it the most. My flowers are stupid frosty now. I have been introducing supplemental blue light and UVB light during this last week or so of flower. I will upload more pics soon.
What's up @L_Choppa? I will be checking the trichomes tomorrow, but I am thinking I will be harvesting within a week. I prefer to have almost 30% trichomes amber before I harvest, especially for these two strains. I am feeding them their flush feeding tomorrow, Green Planet Rezin and Liquid Weight, along with Terpinator, Power Si and my secret additive, Laird Superfood's Coconut water powder with Mango and Pineapple, with Aquamin. All three fruits have 19 amino acids, and the Aquamin has Calcium and Magnesium, along with 72 trace minerals and elements.
