All 3 Zamaldelica are reunited for bloom.
Plant 1 is the tall, slender, racy wild Sativa I've been dreaming of. Standing at nearly 33 inches, she is just starting to show pre-flowers. This is week 2 after flip for herStill a few days before the real stretch begins. She will be a queen.
Plant 2 and 3 were transplanted last Sunday after harvesting the All Gaz Og. Soil was amended with Kelp meal, Gypsum and Basalt rock dust. I can already tell it was not enough, seeing some K def before flower starts to grow. Not easy to manage and understand the needs of lower feeding strains. Always looking for minor signs of deficiency without knowing if they are nute burns. With heavy feeding strains, I would just pack the soil and wait. This is especially harder with recycled soil. I can check soil ppm, but it does not tell what is missing.
Plant 3 showing some pre-flowers is pretty early, 6 days after flip.
@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
