One Sativa Lover, trying to make 3 Zamaldelica happy growing in a tent...
By now, I can tell Plant 1 is different and not only because she is a week older. 2 & 3 would be similar. In the picture, they are kindly bending over in the light direction, but these young plants are already receiving a LOT of light... same amount as blooming mature plants, 600w hps half of day and 240w qb in a small grow box the other half... ...Instead of showing *praying leaves* to avoid direct exposure, they reach for it like sunflowers!!!
By now, I expected side branches to grow taller on plant 1 but they only grew about half an inch this week (8 days). Not sure how to deal with her and the 2 sisters that stays short. I hate SCROGing. It result in popcorn buds. And I don't want her to grow too large, I only have 4x4, for 3 Zamaldelica. Maybe I'll have to flip early because of her. I still don't know what to do with her. She looks like a stretcher. (Thai dominant maybe if I am lucky)
@sativaman, for Sativa, certainly. Sativa leaves canโt store as much water as indica would. And dying leaves send nutes to buds. There is no way to reverse that. Again, you can strengthen leaves with boron. But I donโt see any point in doing so. By this stage, i would remove leaves anyway.
Buds, on the other hand, have no stomata. Buds donโt release water as fast. Buds will remain green.
ZD feeds okay. Not as lightly as pure land race sativa. But over feeding will burn pistils. These pistils are long. And burbt, they will look bad. ZD would better with moderate nutes.
At six weeks, they are crazy potent already. No issue on that front.
Cheers
@Med_in_Tropic, thank you very much! Can the extreme low humidity might be a concern too? The lowest my meter will go is 16% and it is consistently between 16 and 20%...
I will make a foliar this week end with some organic cal-mag see if it helps!!
@sativaman, i rather suspect there is nutrient imbalance. Either too much P and K or bot enough Calcium and Boron.
These are immobile nutrients. They must be sprayed on to the leaves. Feed them would be ineffective.
I would just spray universal micronutrients once. If not then calcium / epsum salt will do.
But really, there is no need to do anything. There is only a couple weeks of feeding left.
I grow outdoor and wash buds before drying anyway. So I donโt mind spraying immobile nutrients l.
@Med_in_Tropic, Nope. Sorry about the confusion in my journal, as I meant to say that plant 2 was chopped 3 weeks ago. I've edited the post.
Plant 1 and 2 were sampled. 2 is very strong, trippy, clean and long lasting. Plant 1 is energising, very trippy and psychedelic, strong and long lasting.
Pheno 3 will be chopped Sunday.
Thanks @PaulM! Nice to see you back! I tough you left or something happened to you grow... I got lucky enough to grow 2 large pheno out of 3 plants. All 3 are different.
wow, those are some serious huge buds, well done. I would love to read something about your nutrients and water feeding schedule.
keep rocking ๐๐
Well done,both are great.i like that thin and tall structure.looks like one of them stretched a lot but bud forming is really good.this will be potent af
@HighRoller909, oh yes! And they smells like killer A5!! Very happy to look at them: I wish I could have them around my house, as companion plants. (But they would not be happy away from the lamps). Thanks for stopping by!
Just comparing the latest pics with 3 weeks ago... wow, these girls really went for it! Stunning form, the long internodes with those sativa fan leaves along them... ๐
