Having just harvested I cannot yet comment on the quality of the smoke.
I did not do this plant justice, my instinct is that this strain is more picky about its environment. Throughout this grow I have been on the edge of acceptable night time temperatures - the other 5 plants did absolutely fine, but this strain lagged behind from the very beginning. Sadly, it really started to pick up in the last week or two before harvest. I think another 3 to 4 weeks or so to ripen further and I would be giving this strain 8/10 instead of 6/10.
That being said, it was not difficult to grow and gave me no issues with deficiencies, pests or other sicknesses - it was just slow to flower, which I believe was caused by the low-but-not-very-low night time temperatures. Given these issues, the yeild was the least of all 6 plants but the buds did increase it's trichome production greatly in the last week and a half. As such, this plant produced little flower but a respectable amount of trim.
See you in 4 weeks for a smoke report!

I can't really comment on the Grow, as I barely used any in this cycle but I do like the Bloom very much.
I switched to biobizz' calmag for this grow - I can't comment on if it is better or worse than the previous product I was using, but the
I'm not really sure why I'm still using this - I don't think it's a bad product but I dislike having lots of additives - I feel like I have been tricked in to it by marketing and advertisements. Once this bottle is empty, I won't be buying more.
Reviews. Lamp
I love these lights. They were very reasonably priced and produce a lot of output for my small space.
Reviews. Tent
This strain I think is definately more picky about it's environment and I failed to give it exactly what it needed to really shine. This is a failure which I plan to correct in the future as I am annoyed I was not able to realise its full potential. I think if I had simply germinated this seed in spring rather than autumn/winter, I wouldn't have had any issues.

@sativaman, Congo is all jared up and curing - I normally say 4-week cure minimum.... Unfortunately I over-dried a bit because on my new dehumidifer, so it will take a bit longer to cure. I did try to sample a bit of it, but damn the taste was awful (chlorophyl) and it gave me a headache and felt a bit sick. It needs some time :)

@wrongleverkronk, lol what do you mean run out where is all your Congo gone!!!????
when I crave to sample my new harvest, I choose a few airy buds that I fully crumble and let it dry on a sheet of paper in a drawer

@sativaman, I ran out of weed 4 days ago so right now anything with a THC content is to my taste - but I am genuinely excited about growing these 'classic' or well-known strains

Great work. Low the light down to 12-15cm from the OG kush or try to bend him a little so you can lower light even more. I am now at 100% 18cm from canopy more/less even and next week when they are going to be at 4 week of flower I am going for max yield and that is 8-10cm from top canopy with some co2 tabs included

@wrongleverkronk, very good. Just keep an eye on them next four-five days and everything will be good. Keep the good grow. πππ

@SaKeZC, heh, every time I check the plants I think "I should bend that OG cola right over", but I just keep putting it off because it looks so pretty as it is.. Today I actually did it though and set the lights at 15cm from the top of the tallest colas. Hopefully the HST won't impact the OG's development too much..

Nice diary, mate.
Just wondering what substrate are you using?
It shows 60 Coco 40 soil and you use Intense Nutrients ORGANIX range it's quite interesting as I thought substrates with more than 50 of Coco should be treated as a hydroponic mediums (in your case Coco based nutes) but you proved opposite.
By all means I am only beginner and gathering info.

@wrongleverkronk,
Thanks for time to answer, mate.
Yeap, I know tropic mix and it's a good medium to grow. Pretty strong though as you've said but it's good as no need to feed much

@@CDF20, hello mate - thanks! The substrate I use is called "Tropic mix" - I've used it for the last two grows. I don't think it's a big or well-known brand. It's actually 60/40 peat:coco - I had no idea I had entered it wrong on this diary, I'll see if I can fix that! It has added calcium/magnesium and is pH balanced to 6.5. They say is a "medium" strength compost but it's stronger than I expected.
I've not read about using hydro/coco specific feeds for mixes with >50% coco but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the accepted wisdom. I would still give it a go with my current nutrients though because 1) I'm cheap and it's what I've got and 2) As long as there is a decent amount of peat & loam in the mix I think it should be okay. I have no reason to think this beyond my gut instinct (which is often wrong!)

Very nice. Try to put the lamp next week to 12-15cm since you got those girls so strecht up and now you need a good cannopy penetration. HG

Looks like you are gonna have an other jungle! Maybe remove a few bottom branches (quality over quantity?), and little haircut could do the job for mold...But if you can bring your RH on the 30's in a few weeks I think you'll be fine!!

wrongleverkronkcommented3 years ago
@sativaman, yes I think you are right! A few less branches now and some defoliation in a couple of weeks is my plan right now. I think 6 plants might have been a bit too ambitious, in the future i think 4 should be my max!
